Where to play:
Focus on the greatest opportunity. Prioritise for growth.

Growth demands focus – not just ambition.

When investment, leadership, or market change unlocks new growth potential, the question isn’t “can we grow?” – it’s “where should we focus to grow fastest, strongest, and most profitably?”

Without clarity on where to play, even the most ambitious businesses face familiar risks:

Resources wasted chasing markets that can’t scale.

Whether by intuition, legacy thinking, or competitor copying – capital, talent, and marketing budgets get diluted across the wrong opportunities.

Sales and marketing alignment breaks down.

Without an agreed ICP and decision-making map, commercial teams pull in different directions eroding velocity, win rates, and ROI.

Commercial decisions aren’t investor-ready.

Without clear data on market potential and customer value, leadership teams can’t defend their growth bets to boards or PE backers – or worse, they back the wrong ones.

The result? Growth that feels busy but unfocused. Investment that drives activity, not outcomes. And leadership teams under pressure to explain why growth still isn’t scaling.
