Game-Changing Framework

By Jacek Zieba
B2C Strategic Planning Manager
T-Mobile Poland

“I truly enjoyed the three days we spent together – what an inspiring course! Your framework was a game-changer: crisp, intuitive, and incredibly effective. I’ve sat through more strategy courses than I can count (courtesy of my BA, MA, and MBA), but this one really stood out as the best I’ve ever taken, really!

I’ve already started reflecting on how to apply what I learned and can’t wait to see how it enhances our work. I have no doubt the team and I will be referencing this experience for a long time.”

More clarity, more focus, more impact

By Daniel Zamzow
B2B Customer Value Management
Deutsche Telekom Europe

“More clarity, more focus, more impact… that’s why we hired LeapQ to help 6 of our national operating companies sharpen their brand positions, prioritise growth opportunities, identify new commercial propositions, and define their marketing roadmaps.

In every case their facilitated approach successfully engaged our local teams, and their Leap methodology ensured an efficient and effective process and consistently high-quality outputs.

And since each of the engagements started with internal capabilities assessments, the markets were able to develop their strategies and plans with their eyes wide open to the internal gaps that would need to be addressed to ensure success.

All in all LeapQ’s collaborative approach has left our local teams with a legacy of improved marketing know-how and the confidence to be able to do it on their own next time.

Not Your typical Strategy Process

By Petra Novotná
Head of Brand Strategy & Marketing Communication
Slovak Telekom

“When we first hired LeapQ, I expected just another strategy development process, but their engagement was absolutely holistic and transformational.

In our organisation, “doing what’s right for the customer” has often been difficult because of the pressure to deliver immediate commercial and financial results.  The Leap methodology helped our internal stakeholders get clear on what it really takes to build brand preference and sustain a healthy business over time.

Before getting into strategy, the LeapQ team used their LQE assessment to help us reflect on our internal capabilities and have honest conversations with our most senior leaders on what we needed to change to strengthen our Number 1 position.

From there, LeapQ engaged our entire marketing team in a series of well designed and inspiring workshops to prioritise our growth opportunities, clarify our profitable position and define a compelling narrative for our brand and business.  

They worked closely with our product and service leads to develop a short-list of bold, market-leading value propositions to anchor our commercial roadmap.  And to help us live more confidently into our brand story, LeapQ worked with our communications team and our advertising agency to define a set of customer promises aimed at differentiating our brand and strengthening customer trust.

Their Leap system even helped us cascade our strategy organisation-wide through the creation of guiding principles to align internal decision-making at all levels of the organisation.

Through it all, the LeapQ team helped ensure our Group Marketing team’s full buy-in and support at every step.

Overall, I have only positive things to say about our cooperation with LeapQ.  I personally learned so much and it’s one of the best professional experiences I’ve ever had.”

Building a Global Brand Locally

By Harry Koninis
VP Marketing Growth
Deutsche Telekom Europe

“Being the most valuable European brand doesn’t mean we have a ‘one size fits all’ strategy. Depending on the market, our position ranges from undisputed market leader to category challenger, requiring us to adapt our global positioning to fit local needs and context.

With their extensive experience working with international service brands and using their holistic Leap methodology, the LeapQ team helped our local marketing teams embrace our global strategy, maximise its relevance locally, and turn it into a commercial platform for growth.  

Always great to work with, their approach not only effectively engages local teams, it actually energises and excites them creating a real sense of ownership at the local level.”

We Needed a Purpose 2.0

By Subhra Das
Group Chief Commercial & Digital Officer
Lebara Mobile Group

“In thinking about how to reposition Lebara, our strategic partners at LeapQ helped us realise we needed to reposition our core target first.  

Increasingly “migrants” had become a derogatory term to describe an extraordinarily resolute and resourceful group of 250 million individuals worldwide who are driven to achieve a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones.

As an organisation, we always had enormous empathy for these “global citizens” but it was through the strategic work led by LeapQ that we were able to channel that enthusiasm into an inspiring purpose that would allow us to reimagine and expand the role Lebara could play in their lives — as well as open up new opportunities for commercial growth.

I think I speak for everyone in our organisation when I say that we are incredibly proud of the noble purpose LeapQ helped us define:

“For those Global Citizens who are brave enough to make a fresh start, we remove barriers and limits that stand in the way of them going further faster.”

Learning From the Best

By Andreas Laukenmann
Chief Commercial Officer
Vodafone Germany

“Leap Quotient Evaluator has given us a fresh perspective on our business and what we need to do to ensure we continue to be successful into the future.

In stepping into my new role as CCO for our Consumer Business Unit, the LQE assessment was valuable in helping my team and I establish our mandate and priorities for the next two years.  The self-assessment workshop was especially useful as it provided an efficient, structured way for us to review all aspects of our business.  In reviewing our value creation capabilities in comparison to the practices of some of the world’s leading companies, we learned a lot about both the opportunities and challenges we face.

Overall, the process was very efficient from our perspective and the LeapQ team were able to gain a very deep and insightful understanding of our business in a very short period of time.

I would highly recommend Leap Quotient Evaluator to other business leaders who are looking to take their businesses to the next level of success.”

Acting with Strategic Integrity

“As Peter Drucker once said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

A well-aligned company culture is essential to the successful deployment of strategy. 

To help us live into our strategy more consistently and with more conviction, the experts at LeapQ worked closely with us to define a set of clear, meaningful and precise behaviours that would create real clarity for our people.

We created a few sharp Guiding Principles that ensure we act with strategic integrity across our B2B organisation, and that we stay relentlessly focused on our most important stakeholder: our customers.”

Leading Edge Theory x Harsh Reality

By Chris Robbins
CEO
Tele2 Estonia

“Customer-centricity is such a strong strategy, and so differentiating, that you can walk up to your competition, tell them exactly what you’re going to do, and there’s not a damn thing they can or will do about it.  That’s the definition of a sustainable competitive advantage!

The LeapQ team know more about customer-centricity than any other consultancy I’ve run across.  I’ve relied on them in several different roles throughout my career because their Leap strategic marketing system and their facilitated approach delivers consistent results.  The brand strategies they’ve helped define not only make sense for the different businesses I’ve worked in, they’re also always practicable and executable — something that’s usually missing when talking about “brand” or “customer experience”.  Very cool working with a team that knows both the leading-edge theory, plus the harsh reality of how to execute.”

Looking From the Outside In

By Jakub Petřina
Chief Marketing and Product Officer
Air Bank

“Air Bank launched with a clear, single-minded purpose: to establish a bank that customers could actually like.  We’ve had tremendous success by remaining ruthlessly committed to this purpose. It has made us very successful, earning us both the admiration of customers and numerous international accolades.

That being said, we are always looking to improve and ensure our success continues.  That’s why we decided to commission a Leap Quotient Evaluator assessment of our brand and business.  Amazingly, in a very short period and with little demand on our time and resources, the LeapQ team was able to get a very deep and insightful understanding of our business.

The resulting LQE report gave us sharp “outside-in” insight on our business practices and our ability to create preference-driving customer value, and it gave us a prioritised action plan to get us ready for our next wave of growth.  We’ve used the report as a key input to kick off our strategic planning process and as inspiration to create a new vision for our future.”

Shaping Future Success

By Mladen Mitić
VP, B2B EU Growth

“At a Natco level, Leap Quotient Evaluator has given our local leadership teams new and invaluable insight into their internal capabilities, enabling them to anticipate and proactively reduce potential execution risks.  Further, the prioritised action plans they’ve received as part of the LQE reports are helping them hone their strategies, strengthen their brands and improve their commercial results.

Amazingly we are seeing that the LQE scores our local Natcos have received are directly correlated to their commercial performance – our best performing Natcos have the highest scores and the Natcos which are struggling received the lowest scores.

In summary, I have personally found LQE to an exceptional performance-boosting tool that is giving our European operations a real competitive advantage.”

At a Deutsche Telekom Group level, LQE is especially useful in allowing us to understand where we need to invest to better support our local operations.”

Getting Jobs To Be Done… Done

By István Iski
VP B2B SMB Growth
Deutsche Telekom Europe

“To ride the digitalisation growth wave and credibly live into our position as the digitalisation partner for small and medium businesses, our Hungarian team needed to define and launch a few tangible and thoughtfully considered value propositions.

With the help of LeapQ, we realised that “digitalisation” as a business aim alone was neither well defined nor well understood in the Hungarian market.

To engage customers more effectively, we needed to take a step back and focus on their broader, business “jobs to be done” — like improving productivity in the new hybrid working environment or making sure their businesses are better prepared to operate in today’s more uncertain macro-economic circumstances.

LeapQ showed us how to use storytelling to explore and understand these emerging and pressing business needs.  Once we got clear on those, our value proposition concepts practically invented themselves, becoming the central pillars for our annual marketing and sales activities.

We continue to count on LeapQ as a highly competent partner to our business. Their collaborative approach and extensive B2B and telecoms experience have delivered a lot of value to us over the years.”

Their approach really shifted our thinking, which was the first big step we needed to take to make real change happen.”
