Market: where and for whom you're strongest

Business programme · for leadership teams · 2–3 months.

Your niche is the first business development decision: it shapes which products you build, which customers you go after, what sales team you need and who you compete with. The strongest B2B companies deliberately choose the industry or technology area where they want to be the first choice – and revisit that choice regularly.

The programme covers three situations: you don't have a niche yet; your current niche has stopped working and you need a measured move to a new one; or your niche works well and you want to expand. In every case we build on what you already have: your client base, the projects that worked and those that didn't, your team's strengths and what genuinely interests you.

We test the options in the market, and you make the decision with your leadership team in strategy sessions, based on a structured assessment rather than instinct. The result: one primary niche where you put most of your effort, and two secondary ones you grow selectively and keep an eye on. For each niche we define the ideal customer profile (ICP) and its main pains, which become the foundation for product development.

How we find your niche

Market potential, where you already win and what drives you: business niche

01

What you already have

Clients · Projects · Team
  • Where you're winning – and where it's stopped working
  • Projects: which worked, which didn't, and why
  • The strengths that support the niche, now or later
02

Where you can win – and want to play

Market potential × Where you already win × What drives you
  • Market potential, pain, willingness to pay and a competitor map
  • References, reach and team capacity
  • What your team finds interesting, enjoyable and energising
03

Market validation and decision

Conversations → 1 primary + 2 secondary niches
  • We test the strongest options in customer conversations
  • Strategy sessions with the decision-makers
  • A “no” list, stop criteria and a regular review

Is this for you?

  • You can help “almost anyone” – which, to the market, sounds like no one in particular.
  • Your current niche has stopped growing or paying off, and you need to decide where to go next.
  • Your niche works, and you want to expand into adjacent industries or markets without losing focus.
