A stable network with few material changes may justify a six month cycle, while operational alerts and critical risks should be monitored more frequently.AccessibleOperational
MarketingFramework / modelUnmet need analyticsHow can unmet need analytics support strategic choice or positioning?Customer expectations, technologies and competitive alternatives change, so reassess needs at least annually in stable markets and more frequently where change is rapid. Use the method when developing a new offer, revising an existing one or investigating declining satisfaction or adoption.AccessibleStrategic
MarketingFramework / modelBrand analyticsHow can brand analytics improve people, teams, or organisational effectiveness?Monitor brand perception continuously rather than waiting for a periodic crisis or research project. Digital conversations make observation faster, although they represent only the people and channels visible in the data.AccessibleOperational
MarketingFramework / modelCustomer churn analyticsHow can customer churn analytics support strategic choice or positioning?Set frequency according to industry dynamics and Customer Lifetime Value Analytics, but a monthly stream is a useful default. In highly competitive subscription markets, monitor frequently enough to intervene before departure and to evaluate retention tests.AccessibleStrategic

StrategyMatrix / portfolioAnsoff’s matrix and product market gridHow can ansoff’s matrix and product market grid support strategic choice or positioning?The appropriate route to corporate growth depends on the risk the organisation can accept, its current portfolio of products and markets, and whether it intends to build around existing or new offers and customers. Systematic planning begins with a clear view of the distance between today’s position and the desired future one. The product/market grid and the later Ansoff cube help managers describe that gap and identify possible growth directions.IntermediateStrategicFigures
