Marc Foglino - Drive Top-line Growth by focusing on network-based business models, lean startup principles and a data-driven culture

The Difference

Create Network-based Business models

I focus on the opportunity to accelerate your growth by leveraging network capital such as relationships. By creating platforms and networks which are open or decentralised, this will enable you to build stronger relationships, sell more, scale efficiently and accelerate innovation.

Adopt Lean Startup Principles

I can help you make the shift to meet the demands of the 21st century. The ambition is to help you adopt entrepreneurial principles to be able to compete in an age of disruption.

Establish a Trust-driven Culture

Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose. In times where Brand trust levels have reached new lows, it becomes critical for you to regain that trust not only with Technology but also with the right processes and behaviours.

Apply Behavioural Science

Over the years I have found that good products are not sufficient to thrive in today’s competitive environment. That’s the reason you need to apply the latest social psychology, persuasion and behavioural economics principles.

“We engaged Authentic Growth Consulting to help us re-evaluate our business model and further define our sales and marketing strategies. Over the course of a month Marc worked closely with our senior team, first learning about our business and the relevant markets, before mapping out — in detail — market entry strategy and tactics. This included careful re-assessment of our sales and partnership targets, as well as the product and services we are offering. Marc’s input is already being put into practice and I have no doubt that it will be pivotal in our continued success and disruption of the market. I highly recommend Authentic Growth Consulting and look forward to Marc’s continued input into our business.”
