The pressure for revenue growth continues to force computing and communication device companies to focus on cost efficiencies. The competitive landscape is characterized by a proliferation of devices integrated for varying levels of computation, communications, and entertainment. New wireless handhelds exploit available bandwidth, but killer applications – other than email – remain elusive. Industry consolidation has forced competitors to build scale or risk losing ground – but scale comes at the expense of flexibility.

In this highly competitive and uncertain environment, SDG brings an approach developed over 20 years that identifies the most important opportunities for growth and sources of risk and uncertainty. Working together with our clients, we develop alternative strategies to meet corporate growth targets and test each against several views of the future to identify the optimal choice. By quantifying the impact of decisions and tradeoffs on shareholder value, we provide a clear basis for action.

SDG assists computing and device companies in identifying new growth opportunities, improving the value of existing businesses and products, optimizing R&D portfolios, entering new markets, and identifying strategic alliances.
