Strategy Consulting

The Journey to Sustainable Growth is designed to support rapidly growing Distributed Energy and Circular Economy startups

Strategy Consulting to Drive Impactful Profit

Bringing advanced Distributed Energy and Circular Economy solutions to market is hard.

Regulations were designed before your technology was commercially viable and your customers may need educating. There’s always a project in need of additional people power and never enough time to focus on strategy.

Innovative Energy Consultants has supported companies like yours across the UK and North America to successfully commercialise their innovation to create a more sustainable world.

Market Research

When you prepare to enter a new market or launch a new product, the better you understand regulation, consumer preferences and your competitors, the more prepared your business is to succeed.

However, it can be disruptive to move resources away from operations to focus on gathering this data.

We can help you understand your position in the competitive landscape, identify your first international market and get ahead of regulation.

“...able to ask the questions we can’t ask.”
Paul McCorquodale, CEO, Grid Edge

Strategy Creation

Rapidly growing companies have ambitious goals — like launching new products and entering new markets

All of  this needs to be achieved whilst maintaining existing operations. Finding time to clearly define strategy can be challenging.

We streamline strategy creation and provide accountability to your leadership team. We supply briefing packs and facilitate workshops to give you the space to clearly define your new market entry, pricing and product development strategies.

“Came up with a strategy that got the leadership team excited & supportive.”
William Goldsmith, Head of Grid Services, ev.energy

Impact Quantification & Verification

Your innovation has the potential to change the world, but it can be difficult to clearly communicate this to your customers and investors.

We work with you to identify the metrics most valuable to your stakeholders and then independently quantify and verify your impact.

We’ve helped clients win grant funding, secure investment and gain the confidence to shout about their impact without fear of being accused of greenwashing.

“quantifying our impact helped us understand the kind of funding we can go after in different markets”
Francesco Aimone, CEO, Induction Food Systems Inc.

Partnership Development

Creating bundled product offerings and referral agreements with established brands or publishing whitepapers with acknowledged industry leaders has the potential to build credibility and accelerate your growth.

It also has the potential to become a time sink.

We leverage our extensive network on both sides of the Atlantic to find you the right partners and support you throughout negotiations to ensure you get the most out of each partnership.

“I know I have more access to the market.”
Lev Goldberg, Product Owner, Arise Energy

Project Management

Finding the right people to drive your vision takes time, and projects still need to be completed whilst you search.

It’s also common for start-ups to need temporary support with short term projects.

Our experienced project managers will work with your team to clearly define project timelines and drive progress, setting you up for success.

“I feel confident handing the baton to IEC and feel confident in them getting it across the line.”
Chris Buzby, Executive Director Digital Platforms & Solutions, Constellation
