P&C Helps Its Client Take a Step Back to Realign Product & Pricing With Customer Strategy

Our retail client had enjoyed high growth and was planning to double its store count within 2-3 years, as well as increase diversification into new channels, products, and geographies. Unfortunately, they had failed to meet earnings expectations for the first time, causing a significant share price decline. Investors blamed a variety of factors including concept saturation and over-diversification.

P&C Worked With the Client to Address the Following Questions

  • How do we identify, prioritize, and resolve execution limitations that are blocking our ability to rapidly grow?
  • How can complexity be reduced to lower costs and grow the top line?
  • What changes should we make to our product and pricing strategies to align with our customer strategy?
