• Business Dilemma:
  The Ministry of Health aims to produce an organized guideline for future planning processes. A steering committee that includes senior officials and experts, with methodological and professional assistance from TASC, was established to define the character of the future of the Israeli hospital.

• Process:
  Our team conducted interviews and consulted with more than 50 experts in the industry while accompanying the steering committee, which included more than 20 health experts. In addition, TASC mapped and learned long-term trends in topics such as morbidity, digitization, and patient experience. The process ended with  a written summary characterization document.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  TASC performed in-depth reviews and mapping of the major trends that are expected to manifest in a wide range of topics over the next decade: changes and transformations in the patient experience; human capital needs in the future hospital, including employee-training needs; future patients in major centers; the impact of digital transformation, innovation and research; a continuum of care; and relationships between hospitals and the community. The team built projections for the next decade and onward, which included an increase in hospitalization versus population growth, future service needs, hospital inpatient mix, transboundary epidemiologies and changes in investment in medical centers, formulating a possible service deployment model, and recommendations for needed changes in pricing models and budgeting. The recommendations were submitted to the Director-General of the Ministry of Health and presented to a broad range of health stakeholders.

• Business Dilemma:
  Credit-card companies have been experiencing massive changes in their business landscape, mainly driven by new technologies.
  A leading player turned to TASC for help in identifying innovative growth engines in light of this changing market.

• Process:
  The project started by running war-game scenarios – predicting competitors’ strategic moves, partnerships and new-value propositions. The team then led extensive user research (consumer interviews, roundtables with businesses and professionals, surveys, and field observations) and performed an in-depth regulatory review, alongside a review of competitors’ financial and commercial performance.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  The project resulted in a new customer experience concept for both in-person shopping at stores and on online e-commerce platforms. The concept was fully adopted by management and is being rolled out by the company.

• Business Dilemma:

A growing company in the energy-storage industry was looking to break into the global market with its storage solution. TASC was asked to develop a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for the client that would capture significant market share without compromising profits.

• Process:

Initially, our team analyzed and modeled the competitive advantages of the company’s storage solution compared to the existing market solutions, reviewed the global energy-storage market, and prioritized relevant markets. Finally, three markets were engaged with detailed entry strategies, including a review of key success factors, detailed market data (potential customers, competitive landscape, market regulations, business partners, economic and business case), alternative business models, and a detailed discussion of a penetration strategy.

• Strategic solution & impact:

The main outcome was a comprehensive go-to-market playbook with specific implementation steps and a strategic roadmap for each of the selected entry markets. Moreover, the assessment sharpened the company’s unique positioning and competitive advantages. The go-to-market strategy is currently being implemented.

• Business Dilemma:
  Israel’s Ministry of Communications conducted an auction for 5G spectrum in August 2020. Prior to the auction, the mobile-network operators had to evaluate the auctioned spectrum value, develop a business plan for deployment of investments, and design a bidding strategy to win the desired amount of spectrum at minimal prices (considering the complicated auction design – Combinatorial Clock Auction).

• Process:
  Our team cooperated with the client’s engineering team to assess a deployment plan; performed research on 5G use cases; built a 10-year business plan to decide Go/No Go and the auction’s value for the company; ranked all possible spectrum bundles in terms of network quality and economic impact; analyzed competitors’ preferences and assumed auction strategy;  and defined a comprehensive bidding strategy with a focus on risk management.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  With the counseling of our team, the mobile-network operator participated in the auction, won the desired amount of spectrum and paid the lowest price of all the competitors.
