Not sure which workshop is right for your organisation, get in touch:
You don't have a clear view of the total cost of ownership (TCO) causing customers to drop out or not find a budget.
Your licences and contracts are messy or incomplete, putting you at risk of compliance issues and legal issues.
Your pricing is based on gut feeling or cost-plus, causing you to miss out on profits or sell too cheaply.
Customers don't understand the value of your solution because there is no clear value exchange (ROI) has been worked out.
You use a freemium or loss leader model which mainly generates costs and hardly any paying customers.
When growing, you lose grip on in-licences and dependencies of external technologies that undermine your profitability.
Your solution is evolving, but you have no plan to implement price changes strategically without losing customers.
Your team does not work with the same language or systematics which means that important choices about profit, pricing and value ad hoc and fragmented be made.
Your business model is not aligned with the adoption phase of your product - Too early too expensive, or too late too cheap.
Your relationships with stakeholders (customers, suppliers, regulators) are vulnerable because there is no structural agreements on sustainability and profit are.

"In an arrestingly different presentation, Jason and Luke address a vital white space for the Agile technical community - commercial fluency. We have proven patterns for predictably delivering the world's most important solutions. But until this method, we have been less clear on how to price these solutions to be profitable and to deliver commercial results. This method provides important new thinking for our community and the business owners that we serve."
