"Creating effective solutions to complex and unstructured challenges in venture development and profitable revenue generation in the new networked economy"

The Challenger Venture Group approach provides a unique platform for the creation and implementation of effective solutions to challenges faced by CVG clients and stakeholders in their venture development and the generation of profitable revenue growth. The CVG approach focuses on the alignment of the ventures’ vision and its strategic vectors with the venture’s operational programs’ implementation and support systems.

Selective client portfolio

At any point in time, the CVG client portfolio is comprised of a limited number of active engagements to permit the Challenger Venture Group team to focus on the development of solutions to challenges that typically require addressing the set of complex issues in unstructured challenges in venture planning and profitable revenue growth.

Immersion in the challenge

The CVG selectivity in the client engagement portfolio facilitates an in-depth immersion of the CVG team’s energy in the program engagement to gain the critical understanding and insight into dimension of the challenge and the range of options available as solution opportunities. In the CVG challenge environment, the immersion in the challenge will embrace all aspects of the problem environment including a situational analysis that thoughtfully considers the critical domains of the venture visioning, the market potential, the competitive landscape, the definition of the relevant marketing systems, an understanding the customer requirements, selection of the optimum production and marketing channels and the corporate financing and resourcing options.

Strategic Framework

The Challenger Ventures Group approach focuses on the development of a cohesive strategic framework that translates the venture’s vison into the critical strategic vectors that align the strategic framework with the market opportunity and matches the special issues that may be encountered at each specific stage of the venture’s development to create a platform for sustainable venture growth. This strategic framework is created through an integration of the foundation venture strategies with the equally critical navigational strategies and the available resources matched to the nature of the competitive market opportunity.

2020 Strategic Business Plan Development and Implementation

The Challenger Ventures Group provides a collaborative strategic business planning process that creates a comprehensive business plan that is appropriate to the specific stage of the venture’s development. The CVG 2020 Strategic Business development process also provides for resiliency in adapting the knowledge gained from lessons learned during the planned program’s implementation. The Challenger Ventures Group team can be available to proactively participate in the Strategic Business Plan’s implementation from venture launch through longer term participation and support during the implementation of the critical organic growth programs and venture resourcing.

Performance Management Systems

An important added value resource in the venture development arsenal of tools is that of Performance Management. Moving beyond the translation of the vision into venture goals and objectives in the 2020 Strategic Business planning process, the CVG Performance Management program looks to create a performance driven venture culture and to implement the operational management processes required to effectively manage the performance of the venture on a continuing basis through the monitoring of the use of its precious financial, intellectual, material and human resources to optimize the return on the venture’s investment, resources and energy.

Optimizing the Client investment

The client investment in the Challenger Ventures Group professional services respects the goals of the venture entrepreneur through a program investment structure that combines the professional fee compensation with longer term financial and equity based incentives in a manner that focuses on the mutual advantages of the creation venture revenue and profitability growth, optimizes equity valuation and minimizes ownership equity dilution.
