FROM RESHAPING BUSINESS MODELS TO EXECUTION OF IDEAS
We work with you to transform your business, from strategising the business model, re-designing the product to formulation of sales and marketing plans.
The Programme
We understand starting up a business is never easy.
Don’t worry, you are not alone at the bottleneck—more than 90% of start-up owners gave up within 3 years of operation. There are many reasons why a start-up is not performing well, from not having the right partners to an incomplete business plan…… sometimes it’s simply because market does not exist at all at the first place.
