• Business Dilemma:
  With no natural civilian market for its existing product and uncertainty surrounding the regulatory framework and competitive landscape in the field, TASC was asked to identify specific markets for penetration and devise a full business plan for implementation.

• Process:
  The project required diagnosing strengths and weaknesses of the product with respect to functions that were or potentially could be performed by alternative products. Combined with the mapping out and screening of potential relevant markets for the product, we were able to focus on highly lucrative market segments relevant for immediate penetration. Once we identified the target markets, we constructed business plans adapted to each priority market in the selected geographical regions.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  The plan was adopted by management and the board, required funds were allocated, and the plan is being implemented.

• • Business Dilemma:
    TASC was asked to assist in developing a strategy for a business unit that operates in a field outside the core business of the OEM and without clear synergies to its core activities.
  • Process:
    TASC performed market research and segmentation to assess the financial potential of the whole market and more thorough analysis of relevant segments in which the unit could grow. After identifying attractive segments, our team mapped the competitive and product landscapes of one of the most attractive segments.
  • Strategic solution & impact:
    TASC’s analysis enabled the business unit to present a strategic plan that was approved by management and the board, resulting in allocated funds for further R&D and possible M&A opportunities.

• Business Dilemma:
  TASC was asked to shape a strategic plan to allow the company, a producer without access to cheap feedstock, to improve profitability in a market that grants competitive advantages to large-scale producers and those whose plants are located in proximity to feedstock (mainly oil and natural gas).
• Process:
  Our team performed an in-depth analysis of the company’s activity, including analysis of the domestic and international competitive environment, international trends in the relevant market, and the activities of the company’s clients. We then conducted a complete SWOT analysis and compiled a long list of strategic alternatives and a selection of recommended alternatives according to feasibility, proximity to core capabilities, and forecasted economic impact, and formulated business plans for the chosen strategic alternatives, based on a financial model designed to forecast their impact on the company’s activity. Finally, our team assisted in contriving a high-level implementation plan for the chosen strategic alternatives.
• Strategic solution & impact:
  The strategic plan was approved by management and was successfully implemented by the company, contributing to continuous growth.

• Business Dilemma:
  A challenging business environment resulted in disappointing financial results for one of Israel’s largest industrial companies and it wanted to evaluate the possibility to outsource non-core activities. This involved the sale/leaseback (plus services) of existing assets, as well as identifying what parts of its investment program should be undertaken by third parties.

• Process:
  In the first stage, our team developed a methodology for identifying what activities are suitable for outsourcing and reviewed a long list of activities in line with the developed methodology to assess their suitability for being outsourced. Based on that assessment, TASC assisted management in the outsourcing process for several of the more suitable activities with a focus on activities outside Israel.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  Some major activities have been outsourced to third parties, improving the company’s balance sheet. The process is ongoing.
