Global proof helped KOMPAN sell playgrounds as a sound business investment to global fast-food chains
KOMPAN helps quick service restaurants create playgrounds that attract families and strengthen the guest experience. An earlier Lindberg study showed that playgrounds can drive more visitors, longer stays, more repeat visits and higher spending, but the data was aging and mainly European. To support a global sales story after covid, KOMPAN needed updated, credible documentation across regions and a format that made the insights easy to use in day-to-day customer dialogue.

Reframe beats better: Compete on a new logic, not a new version
Many try to win by being better, faster or cheaper, but that rarely creates a breakthrough. In this webinar, we unpack the power of a reframe. The goal is to stop competing on incremental improvements and instead challenge the assumptions that define the product category, then turn the new frame into clear choices about what to develop and how to position and communicate it.

Many try to win by being better, faster or cheaper, but that rarely creates a breakthrough. In this webinar, we unpack the power of a reframe. The goal is to stop competing on incremental improvements and instead challenge the assumptions that define the product category, then turn the new frame into clear choices about what to develop and how to position and communicate it.
What the webinar covers:
- How to identify the current frame, what it makes customers value and where it quietly limits your ambition
- How to build a reframe: Old frame, new frame, the hidden assumption behind it and the new behavior it can unlock
- How to turn a reframe into action: Set clear priorities, make bolder choices and use AI to speed up exploration
Why this matters:
- Helps you escape feature races by competing on a new premise instead of incremental improvements
- Strengthens differentiation by giving customers a reason to choose you that is harder to copy
- Improves decision quality when the real advantage becomes choosing the right direction, not adding more features

Research
High-impact cross-border research that powers your next move
We deliver insights across countries, industries and target groups, helping you understand your markets, customers and competitors so you can make confident decisions about where to focus, how to grow and what to offer.
Our research enables you to make better decisions faster in a complex world: We combine first-hand perspectives from relevant decision-makers and users in your market with rigorous analysis of publicly available information, industry data and your internal information to challenge assumptions, reduce uncertainty and turn insight into clear priorities. We connect the dots across data, interviews and market signals to reveal patterns and blind spots that would otherwise stay hidden.
We go beyond top-of-mind answers to uncover what your target groups value most, what drives their decisions and what creates hesitation. By comparing patterns across countries and segments, we help you distinguish what is universal drivers from local nuances, so you can adjust your strategy and messaging without losing focus.
We typically begin with structured desk research to build a fact base and sharpen assumptions, then use in-depth interviews and quantitative studies to test and quantify what matters, tailored to your context: Directional input, robust validation or sharp comparisons across countries and segments.
The output is not a report that gathers dust. It contains clear conclusions and relevant recommendations, grounded in the realities of your market and shaped by our deep commercial understanding, so you can make the best decisions and act with confidence.
What we often uncover for our clients:
- Customers: Needs, decision criteria, buying process, satisfaction and reasons for churn
- Competitors: Positioning, strengths, weaknesses, pricing logic and likely next moves
- Markets: Size, growth drivers, barriers, routes to market and partner landscape
- Offerings: Feature value, willingness to pay, packaging and go-to-market fit

Consulting
Commercial strategy for focused action and profitable growth
We help you make sharp fact-based commercial choices about where to play and how to win by cutting through clutter so you focus where growth potential is highest and your path to profitable results is shortest.
Our consulting makes it possible for you to turn strategy into decisive action and profitable growth: We combine your ambitions and capabilities with what the market will reward to set clear priorities. We help you choose markets and segments, sharpen your target customer profile and build a value proposition that makes you the natural choice. We then translate priorities into clear decisions: What to do first, what to stop doing and what it takes to win, so the organization can commit to a focused direction and accelerate execution.
We translate choices into actions your sales force can use, from positioning and pricing guidelines to channel and partner setup and a more customer-focused sales approach. The goal is always the same: Less noise, more focus and a commercial setup that consistently converts effort into profitable results.
We use the approach that fits your situation, typically structured workshops and hands-on sales and marketing improvements, so priorities translate into day-to-day execution. We build a practical plan with ownership, milestones and measurement points. The output is not a slide deck that gathers dust. It is a set of clear choices and a focused execution plan so you can act with confidence.
What we typically help our clients with:
- Strategy: Market and segment prioritisation, targeting choices and growth roadmap
- Positioning: Value proposition, differentiation, messaging pillars and proof points
- Go-to-market: Routes to market, channel and partner strategy, pricing model and rollout plan
- Sales and marketing: Pipeline and conversion improvement, key account approach, lead generation and performance tracking

Innovation
Innovation that takes you from insight and ideas to market impact
We help you move from ideas to market-validated products, services and business models through a proven innovation process grounded in market and customer insight so your efforts lead to compelling offerings, delighted customers and profitable growth.
Our innovation process makes it possible for you to remove the guesswork and innovate with confidence: We do this by building a clear, evidence-based direction before you invest heavily in development. Instead of starting with features, we start with problems worth solving and the customers most likely to value a solution, making it easier to prioritise, align stakeholders and focus resources.
FastTrack is our end-to-end process that takes you from opportunities to concepts to validation and commercial readiness. It consists of four elements: OpportunityDetector, IdeaFactory, Optimizer and BluePrint. OpportunityDetector identifies and prioritises customer pains by frequency and impact. IdeaFactory turns the high-potential pains into concepts with sharp value propositions. Optimizer improves and compares concepts through iterative customer feedback so you can select winning concepts. BluePrint designs the go-to-market strategy, including the business model and profit logic, so your innovation is positioned for success.
We use the approach that fits your situation best, from interviews and workshops to targeted concept tests. The output is a clear innovation roadmap with prioritised opportunities, validated concepts and a go-to-market strategy ready for execution, so you can act with confidence.
What we typically deliver for our clients:
- Opportunities: Prioritised customer pains, quantified attractiveness and clear innovation territories
- Concepts: Shortlisted solutions with strong value propositions and internal alignment
- Validation: Iterated feedback, concept comparison and confident selection of winners
- Market readiness: Business model, profit logic, commercial setup and clear action plans
