A leading social media technology company focused on connecting people, building communities, and advancing immersive technology sought to increase the cadence of its hardware releases, boosting what leadership referred to as their “product octane,” to drive growth in hardware revenue. We helped create a clear strategy and flow model that gave leadership the insight and framework needed to secure resources and streamline delivery.
Client: Leading Social Media Technology Company
Scope: Strategic framework development and value-delivery acceleration model
Focus Areas: Strategy Design, Flow Modeling, Executive Alignment, Performance Optimization
Results: Delivered a strategic framework and flow model that secured executive buy-in, prioritized resources, and accelerated hardware revenue growth
The Advanced Manufacturing division faced the challenge of scaling production and accelerating delivery without sufficient resources. While leadership initially believed a project portfolio management tool might help, deeper analysis revealed the need for a foundational strategy before technology could add value.
Key challenges included:
Unclear flow and prioritization of critical work
Lack of visibility into resource capacity vs. project demand
Overreliance on tools before defining strategic principles
Need for a clear framework to communicate priorities and secure executive buy-in
We partnered directly with the Director of IT to understand the organization’s challenges, resource limitations, and desired outcomes. Through a targeted and collaborative process, we helped define strategic principles, disciplined objectives, and a customized flow model that visualized how acceleration could be achieved.
Our approach balanced strategic design with practical implementation equipping the Director to communicate a compelling, evidence-based plan to the executive leadership team. Within just eight hours of collaborative effort, the strategy and flow model were finalized and ready for presentation.
Key actions included:
Conducted strategic discovery sessions with leadership to define priorities
Developed principles and disciplined objectives aligned to business goals
Designed a custom flow model to visualize capacity, sequencing, and acceleration opportunities
Provided coaching and advisory support to prepare executive presentation materials
Delivered a comprehensive framework within eight hours of focused engagement
The engagement produced immediate results. The Director presented the new strategy and flow model to executive leadership and received enthusiastic approval along with the necessary resources to proceed. The framework provided leadership with a clear view of dependencies, capacity, and potential acceleration paths—enabling data-driven decision-making and alignment across teams.
Key results included:
Secured executive approval and resource allocation for accelerated delivery
Established a strategic framework linking vision, execution, and outcomes
Implemented a prioritization model to focus resources on high-value initiatives
Strengthened leadership confidence and alignment around delivery strategy
Positioned the company to achieve significant hardware revenue growth
While specific metrics remain confidential, the company continues to track hardware revenue performance as a key indicator of success, supported by the clear, strategic roadmap established through this engagement.
