Pivot to Capture Adjacent Value
A telecommunications startup needed to pivot from its current focus toward emerging market opportunities. The challenge was not simply choosing a new direction — it was identifying where the market was shifting and which new capabilities would create value over the next stage of growth.

Use Case
Adjacent Value Capture
Context
The company had an existing set of assets, but leadership needed to understand where the market was heading before scaling further. They wanted to avoid building around yesterday’s opportunity and instead focus on where economic value was beginning to emerge.
Decision problem
The issue was not whether the company could grow. It was whether they were moving into the right part of the market. Leadership needed to identify an underserved opportunity, understand the capabilities that market required, and define a strategy they could execute at scale over the next three years.
What Sunasi Clarified
Sunasi clarified where adjacent market value was emerging and which hyper-granular capabilities were changing the economics of that value-chain stage. The work helped the team shift focus toward an underserved market and refine the strategy, business case, deployment model, and capital ask.
Insight:The strongest path forward was not a broader market push, but a focused pivot toward an underserved market where new capabilities were beginning to define economic advantage.
Outcome & Impact
- Shifted focus toward an underserved market opportunity
- Clarified critical new capabilities the market needed
- Stronger pivot strategy, business case, and deployment model
- Initial insights delivered within 1 week, followed by 3 weeks of executive strategy refinement
