Client story – Growth fintech: Strategic capability built as basis for

successful fundraising

Situation

Founders of a growth fintech company had big and inspiring vision, blank canvas and lots of possibilities to innovate and deliver new services to the investment management market

Challenge
 

Investors were pressing for faster results and the main client was looking for deliveries in the near future. How to balance the near term with the future horizons?

Approach
 

Mapped elements of vision, strategic objectives, features, license to operate, design principles and desired architectural qualities to establish a rigorous base for discussion, prioritization and decision making. Continuously engaged stakeholders and translated benefits to their respective contexts to make the project relatable in a concrete way
