A focused growth portfolio for your company.

VALUE LEVER 1 · DESIRED OUTCOME

Quickly determine which growth fields deserve your capital.

You receive a robust portfolio decision – not another priority list:

• Your growth portfolio becomes comparable. Regions, segments and product portfolios are assessed based on potential, profitability and right-to-win.
• Your 2–5 strongest fields receive genuine priority. Every ongoing initiative receives a clear decision: invest, deepen, adjust or stop.

VALUE LEVER 2 · HIGH DECISION CONFIDENCE

Your portfolio decision holds up because all fields are comparable.

Each field is assessed against three investment tests:

• Prove economic attractiveness. Market size, growth, profitability and momentum are quantified on a comparable basis. Result: quantified potential instead of strategic labels.
• Establish the right-to-win. Competitive position, customer access and differentiation show whether your company can win. Result: market attractiveness is not confused with the ability to win.
• Clarify investment merit. Capital requirements, management capacity and expected earnings contribution are assessed together. Result: a board-ready investment decision for each growth field.

VALUE LEVER 3 · FAST DECISION

In around 12 weeks, you can turn a diverse set of businesses into a focused investment portfolio

The approach shortens the path from many plausible options to a well-founded capital and resource allocation decision.

• Weeks 1–3: Create comparability. Regions, segments, product portfolios and initiatives are structured using a shared decision logic.
• Weeks 4–9: Quantify the fields. Potential, profitability, competitive position and right-to-win are substantiated for each option.
• Weeks 10–12: Focus and decide. Investment priorities, initiative decisions and the management decision are finalized.

The principle. First create comparability, then prioritize, then decide. Speed comes from a shared decision logic – not from less rigor.

VALUE LEVER 4 · LOW MANAGEMENT EFFORT

Your leadership team stays decision-ready in day-to-day operations.

Strat-Exx consolidates portfolio, market and performance data into a shared basis for decision-making – without a major strategy project. Only four inputs are required from your organization:

• existing market, segment, portfolio and performance data,
• ongoing growth initiatives, investments and the relevant pipeline,
• perspectives from corporate and BU leadership, Strategy, Sales and Finance,
• management decisions at three clearly prepared decision points.

VALUE LEVER 5 · LIMITED INVESTMENT RISK

You invest only when attractiveness and right-to-win are aligned.

The greater risk is not an incomplete portfolio analysis. It is spreading capital, sales capacity and management attention across initiatives that never achieve critical scale. The approach limits this risk:

• All fields are assessed against the same criteria – no regional truths.
• 2–5 investable growth fields instead of a broad wish-list portfolio.
• A clear investment decision for each field and clear consequences for every ongoing initiative.
• A transparent rationale for the Board, owners or Executive Management.

Proven experience. At an industrial company with approximately €2 billion in revenue, more than 30 initiatives were consolidated into four growth fields and investments were redirected accordingly.
