As your company develops a market expansion strategy, what’s the best way to evaluate different global opportunities and determine which opportunities make the most sense to pursue?

It can be tempting to focus on the largest markets, but this approach fails to consider the nuances and risks of particular markets and doesn’t consider important factors that are most likely to contribute to success, or failure.

Nataly Kelly (LinkedIn profile) HubSpot VP of Localization will describe the MARACA framework her company developed to target its global expansion strategy.

MARACA consists of:

• MA = market availability, which is the size of the opportunity in a market
• RA = real-time analytics on how the company is performing in a market
• CA = customer addressability, which is the fit of a company’s offerings in a market

Nataly will describe each metric in the MARACA framework and will discuss how to use this framework to objectively score and assess each market opportunity on a micro level.

She will share practical examples of how HubSpot and other organizations are using this model to target their expansion decisions, guide longer-term investments, and drive future growth.

For organizations that are evaluating global expansion opportunities and are debating which markets to prioritize, join Nataly Kelly and HBR for insights on a proven, data-driven framework to effectively target your global expansion.

We all want successful projects. Projects that not only deliver a product on time, on budget, and on scope, but also value to customers.

In this webinar Peter Monkhouse & Joanna Tivig will start with defining value creation and value delivery to make a thriving business model and a happy customer.

Then they will explore the two main ways that a product or service can offer value to customers.

1. The first way is value creation, to ensure that the product has the features that customers need, and they see value in.
   • To do this, they will discuss prioritization techniques to ensure the highest priority features are delivered first, for every release.
2. The second way is value delivery, through value stream mapping and waste elimination while developing a product.

As a project manager, you need to understand where waste is created and look for ways to eliminate it in your project management processes. Lean processes combined with strong value delivery approaches will help your organization become successful in the long term.

Building on his past research in financial services and construction sectors, Dr Kalra presents a framework of how large organisations can integrate small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their supply chains and collaborate with them.

Large organisations are increasingly seeking to collaborate with SMEs by integrating them into their supply chains.

Three factors drive this trend:

1. There is an increased pressure on organisations to create and demonstrate social value by the government and the public.
2. Exogenous shocks such as Brexit, COVID-19, and trade wars have driven organisations to consider regionalisation and insourcing approaches
3. Organisations need to access niche, specialised capabilities to achieve breakthrough innovation.

Collaborating with SMEs, however, is not without its challenges. The SMEs have different ways of working, relatively lower capacity to absorb risks, and face resource constraints.

Therefore, large organisations need to think differently regarding their sourcing strategy to collaborate with SMEs successfully.

In his presentation,Jas will present insights from his research in the financial services and the construction sectors.

In particular, a framework for understanding the processual coordination challenges in engaging and integrating SMEs in complex supply chain networks would be presented.

Finally, the strategies that managers and organisations could adopt to address these challenges will be considered.

Presenter:  Dr Jas Kalra (LinkedIn profile) Assistant Professor in Operations & Supply Chain Management at Newcastle University Business School: has previously worked as a Supply Chain Researcher at University College London, University of Bath School of Management, and Alliance Manchester Business School. Dr Kalra’s research examines how individuals and organizations collaborate to deliver complex, inter-organisational operations & projects. His research projects have examined the procurement of professional services, contractual and relational governance of buyer-supplier relationships, and supply chain technology platforms and ecosystems.
