Isn’t It Easier to Grow with Momentum in Fast Markets?

Momentum [məˈmen.təm]

Momentum comes from Latin “movimentum” — meaning movement, motion, or impulse. Originally used in physics to describe the quantity of motion in a moving object, it has since evolved into metaphorical use.

Momentum in a Business Context 

It refers to the forward-driving energy that builds when people, teams, or organizations move in a clear direction with increasing speed, alignment, and confidence.

In a disruptive, fast-changing environment, momentum becomes more than progress — it’s a sign of resilience. It signals that an organization has:

• Clarity despite uncertainty,

• Alignment despite complexity, and

• Capacity to adapt without losing pace

Momentum Is Designed, Not Declared

All firms aspire to Grow!

New business models and players from outside disrupt even the best. At the same time the world is becoming more complex, faster and circular. Understanding the next frontiers and becoming a successful player is no longer possible with pushing harder, trying to do more, faster, but how?

If You Knew Exactly Where You Were Going, Wouldn’t You Move Faster?

It takes people – tech – process to sync and be guided by bold future backwards purpose and ambition and an simple, clear decision making, innovation and strategy  framework that provides more continuity while being adaptable in line with market evolution, but how?

Do You Want to Stop Feeling Spread Too Thin and Start Moving Forward?
Your key people are always leading critical projects, aren’t they? They’re stretched thin, focusing on the core business, with little energy left to drive change. To grow in today’s fast-changing world, you need to access and empower more skilful resources, but how? 

Inspired by the best like AirBnB, Shopify and Tesla we belief that great small teams can identify, understand and operationalize how to win at the frontiers and multiply that approach frontier by frontier guided towards a jointly created, committed and owned Destination empowered by principles. We call it:

This cuts out time, ensures alignment and ownership for impact, but how?

You cannot pull people with your financial planning you call “strategy”.

Don´t we all hope it works this time? When technology accelerates everything and external shocks are frequent, momentum is what helps companies not just respond, but stay ahead — by turning strategy into movement, and movement into measurable impact, but how?

What we do to design your momentum:

Your next Frontiers

Frontiers are relative per sector 

The shift from today’s to the next frontier is happening faster and faster, driven by exponential tech, business model innovation, and particularly the resources of hyperscalers. They pursue the frontier race with #SPEED and #SCALE. Nevertheless, different sectors are at different points and shifts happen at different moments, but always faster.

Frontier shifts are increasingly impacted by platform ecosystems. Hence, being able to play in a platform economy is table stakes already today.

Generally we see a motion from tangibles (factories, product) to intangibles (data, business models, brand) that define the frontier and value creation.

ANDfutureproof Fractional Advisory Frontier Model Project to Product Solution

We see multiple frontiers being pushed out and taken by fronitier firms. A single industry might be facing multiple shifts in parallel.

Three distinct next-gen frontiers gaining significant traction to illustrate the frontier concept:

 

  • From Projects to Products (Solutions)
  • From Linear to Circular products and business models
  • From non-networked to networked and layered platform business models

Our Productized Solutions Overview

Future Backwards Brand-led Transformation

Average companies make people work for someone, great companies towards something.

Leaders excel at running business efficiently—optimizing in a more predictable environment with attention to continuous incremental improvement. But predictibility is on the decline and disruption happen from outside the sector which is not on the radar. True growth and ability to invest into the future demands adaptability in uncertainty. Managing both at speed is the challenge.

While yesterday the time horizon was years, today it is months – see the AI acceleration.

An organization therefore needs guide rails that are simple, clear, easy to remember and communicate. The success of hyperscalers is not only linked to powerful business models and resources but also how clearly they provide direction and decision-making empowerment: a relevant purpose, a derived bold ambition. With our future backwards brand-led transformation we also utilize performance principles, key behaviours creating a simple, short decision making frame across people-tech-process.

Your benefits:

  • Proven with top companies – extremely high success rate 
  • Proprietary approach for alignment, commitment, ownership through co-creation
  • Fast to develop – 1 page to steer your business
  • Easy to remember and communicate as it is not built on management jargon
  • Low investment of time of cross-functional team
  • Makes your companies decision-making framework future-elastic
