1st C: Challenge: create focus and alignment
■ The purpose of the challenge statement is to help us set course for the journey ahead
■ In essence the challenge must act as our compass – providing direction without forcing a path on us
■ Ultimately the challenge statement set’s out the end in mind, what are you specifically trying to achieve?
■ It helps provide us with a clear purpose around which to focus our data and information search and around which to align the entire organisation
■ An impactful challenge must be prioritised, provocative and precise – hence we have a very clear structure that helps us achieve this….
2nd C: Country – Where to 1st? 2nd? 3rd?
■ Market Opportunity: Vol / Val / Consumption per capita / CAGR
■ Open to Trade: Vol / Val / Imports / $/Kg/L
■ Open to Austrade: Vol / Val / A$Kg/L Aus exports to market
■ Sociodemographics: Population / Gross/Disposable Income / Capita / Food expenditure $
■ Dispersion – Power of Buyers/Suppliers, Top 5 share of mkt
■ Barriers to Entry: Import tariffs, VAT, Product registrations, Labelling, Behind the border trade barriers
■ Start by creating a strategy with “Where” front and centre …use objective measures like a Market Opportunity Index© to take bias out of your strategic choices on “where to go” first

■ The category landscape is the consumer’s understanding of the group of products or brands with which ours competes and is crucial because: □ Each category has certain product and pack codes that
are expected and challenging these can be disastrous □ The category you target will have a significant impact
on the benefits you communicated and the competitive advantage you choose to leverage.
□ In most markets data is available around the size and growth trajectories for categories – so making choices around category can help you understand the potential for your product today and in the future
□ And finally most categories have clearly defined barriers and drivers. Understanding what these are can provide you with both a clear point of difference and competitive advantage based on either addressing a barrier or amplifying a driver
3rd C: the Category landscape
4th C: to Compete or Collaborate
1. Understanding your external Threats and Weaknesses and internal Strengths and Weaknesses can help you work out where to compete and where to collaborate.□ Threats? (external)□ Opportunities? (external)□ Weaknesses? (your)□ Strengths? (your)
2. Run the ruler over your competition□ Strengths? (their)□ Weaknesses? (their)□ Opportunities? (external)□ Threats? (external)
■ Let’s understand our competition over there more closely…then decide where and when and how to compete or collaborate
5th C: Consumer – the who and the why ■ The first thing we must establish is who do we
believe our offer will appeal. ■ Although this may seem obvious it is all too
often left at the level of unhelpful generalities such as MGBs (Main Grocery Buyers)
■ We have developed a fingerprinting© tool that aims to help develop an improved understanding of our target
■ It achieves this by focussing on the key questions that help us segment our consumer base – see opposite:
■ Having understood who we want to target the challenge is now to dig below the surface of their behaviours to understand the beliefs and attitudes that are driving them – in others words consumer insight
“A profound understanding of consumer beliefs and behaviours that provide inspiring springboards for exciting new brand building
opportunities.”
6th C: Customer – who are they? ■ Listen to the Voice of the Customer early on – what do they need or want from us?
• Prepare a plan for a constructive conversation with your new potential customers (retailers).
• Without an engaged customer (retail partner) supporting your products, you cannot delight consumers
• One of the most important outcomes of your “Voice of Customer” excursions will be making the choice on where to focus your effort and where not to go upon market entry.
■ identifying what we can excel in from a brand, product and technology / manufacturing perspective – what can we do better than anyone else
■ understanding all our tangible and intangible assets can provide platforms for opportunity and competitive advantage □ what can we own □ what do we own □ what do we own exclusively
■ this allows us to play to our strengths and thereby □ reinforces brand or product credibility□ minimises risk □ provides benefit or to RTB for our consumer□ is what made us famous in the first place
