How to determine where the market is actually headed and what will enable the company to succeed in the future?
In just one day, the team builds a vision of the future: selects a market scenario and the company’s role, and formulates a growth strategy with key drivers.
The market is changing too fast: lots of signals, trends, and hypotheses, but the team lacks a shared vision of the future.
Strategic discussions stuck at the level of ideas: lots of talk about the market and opportunities, but it’s still unclear what exactly the company believes in and what role it wants to play.
The team can’t agree on priorities: some are pushing for products, others for channels, and still others for new scenarios—but there’s no unified growth strategy.

How the chain of reasoning works
Step 1. Trend Radar
Goal: To identify not just any signals, but the changes in the market, customers, and competitive landscape that are crucial to the business. Result: A prioritized list of trends that the team considers significant and credible.
Step 2. Market Scenarios
Goal: To distill a multitude of trends into a few key options and identify clear scenarios for the future. Result: Selection of 2 possible market scenarios.
Step 3. A Letter from the Future
Goal: To make the chosen scenario concrete and experience it as a reality, rather than an abstract hypothesis. Result: A vision of the future market, customers, competition, and the company’s place in this world.
Step 4. Strategic Concept
Goal: To define what the company believes in, what role it wants to play, and why it is positioned to succeed in the chosen future. Result: A clearly articulated strategic concept for the company within the chosen scenario.
Step 5. Growth Drivers
Goal: Break down the strategic idea into specific mechanisms that actually drive growth. Result: A set of growth drivers—products, scenarios, frameworks, and actions—that support the chosen strategy.
Step 6. Business Formula
Goal: To bring everything together into a coherent framework and identify the recurring drivers of the company's growth. Result: A business formula that explains what drives the company's growth, what enhances performance, and what creates friction.
