Module · Layer 1 · Commercial Strategy

Your modules don't talk to each other; you're managing 5 transformation streams in 5 spreadsheets.

Commercial Strategy is the PMO function above the operational modules — the wave plan, the lever roadmap, the cross-module dependency graph. One bridge for the whole commercial system, not five.

Outcome · From today's EBITDA to your target

One bridge from current EBITDA to target — across all modules.

Reported in % terms, not absolute €. Each lever traces to a module, a confidence flag, and a wave assignment.

+2-5 ppts EBITDA
Cumulative across the 5-module wave plan over 12-24 months.
+8-15% revenue growth Y-on-Y
Compounded segment-mix shift + channel reallocation + pricing realisation.
Single bridge view
Today's number → tomorrow's, lever by lever, across all 5 modules.

Ranges illustrative — your audit returns the bridge specific to your business.

What moves the number

Strategy sits above the operational trio.

  • PMO function above the operational trio

    Strategy holds the wave plan, the lever roadmap, and the cross-module dependency graph. The other modules execute against it.

  • X4 cross-module synergy operationalised

    VP findings re-rank Pricing levers. Pricing realisation gaps inform GTM channel-mix. M&A targets get scored against your strategic priorities.

  • Wave plan + 12-month lever roadmap

    Sequenced by dependency + impact + readiness — not by which module the team prefers to start with.

Methodology

Senior Consultant Test in operational form.

How the PMO function makes its calls — the reasoning chain stays visible.

How does the PMO function decide wave sequencing?
Dependency-resolved (VP defines the value frame Pricing + GTM operationalise — VP runs first), readiness-weighted (data availability + segment posteriors maturity), impact-bounded (ppts EBITDA accessible per wave under conservative confidence).
What does the cross-module dependency graph capture?
Per-lever upstream / downstream relationships. A Pricing lever conditional on a VP segment posterior is flagged; a GTM channel-mix shift conditional on a strategic priority is flagged. The graph is the contract between modules.
How is the Strategic Baseline artifact different from the module?
The artifact is the locked snapshot — current EBITDA, lever-tagged contribution map, target EBITDA, confidence per lever. The module is the always-on instrument that maintains it as the wave plan executes.
