Current situation
The signs that outside support may help.
Success in another market proves capability, not automatic UK fit. Buyers, alternatives, channels, proof expectations and operating requirements need to be assessed in the context of a specific UK customer and entry route.
- +The UK opportunity is based mainly on top-down market size
- +The target customer and buying process remain broad
- +A partner route is being considered without clear criteria
- +The proposition has not been tested against UK alternatives
- +Legal setup is progressing ahead of commercial validation
Key questions
What the leadership team needs to settle.
Where to focus
