Cases

Some of our missions
Consulting
A company had to compete in FMCG with the world’s top multinationals.

How Can We Win Against Big FMCG Multinationals?

Action

VUCASTAR created the strategies and tools to drive the value and performance of a Brand portfolio. Over several sessions, the organization was trained into the tools used for exceptional brand management. Then each brand’s strategy was worked in depth - using “the consumer at the core” model - from equity all the way down to advertising ideas.

Result

The company went from a slightly declining share to record high market share and is using the tools to expand the portfolio.

Consulting
A business set the target to double the business in the next 3 years.

What Would It Take to Double the Business?

Action

With VUCASTAR, goals and strategies were developed in a strategy review. We analysed the business with the executive team, with special focus on the profit model. A strategy and plan with clear action steps was agreed.

Result

The plan is being implemented.

Leadership Development
A major multinational set an ambitious goal. However, they had just delivered a poor year. As a result, the organization did not believe the target was achievable.

Can You Help Build a Team’s Confidence That Our Ambitious Goal is Achievable?

Action

VUCASTAR developed a keynote presentation to kick off their strategy and planning week. We delivered an engaging 2-hour speech on what’s required to make the mission succeed.

Result

The company’s share price doubled and believes that building belief was a contributing factor.

Coaching
Coach an executive and help prepare the strategy presentation for a critical Board meeting.

Can You Get Me Ready for a Major Board Meeting?

Action

An executive asked VUCASTAR to help on content and delivery. Following working sessions and tailored coaching, the presentation was refocused and made highly impactful.

Result

The delivery went superb, the executive received kudos for her strategic vision and plans. The recommendation and spending plans were approved.

Consulting
A major company felt that too much of their offer was “me too”. They were only number 6 in their industry and had the ambition to move up to the top 3. Also, they felt their executive team was not working together optimally.

Can We Build a Decisive Competitive Edge?

Action

VUCASTAR did an industry analysis and worked with each executive to get a thorough understanding of the culture and challenge. Workshops were then run. Major focus was put on building a high performing organization, where trust was the bedrock of collaboration. Also, a plan was developed with several areas that could position the firm more uniquely and distinctively in its industry.

Result

The plan is being implemented.

Consulting
A department of a large multinational required a strategy.

We Don’t Have a Strategy. Can You Help Us Get There?

Action

The VUCASTAR process is to always get one-on-one input from each executive before the strategy meeting. This helps to isolate key themes. In the meeting itself, we work with diverse groups who then discuss their points of view in plenum.

Result

With the VUCASTAR process, a strategy document was developed and now serves as the very basis for choices, budget allocation and priorities.
