RGM Pillar Accelerator

Pricing & Commercial Focus

Turn pricing and commercial complexity into a 90‑day, results‑driven RGM game plan.

Pricing & Commercial Focus is an intensive, assessment‑led program that zeroes in on how you price, invest, and execute across the RGMi DNA Process Map. Instead of generic advice, you get a sharp, evidence‑based view of how Strategic RGM, Precision RGM, and Action RGM really work in your business — and where they silently hold back growth.

By engaging multiple functions and markets in their own language, the assessment surfaces how Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Supply Chain each see the world — and where those views align or clash. We unpack your RGM dilemmas across pricing, trade investment, route‑to‑market, category and brand planning, commercial policy, and execution. The result is a clear, narrative diagnosis plus a practical 90‑day OKR plan and playbook that your teams can start using immediately. You keep your data; we bring the questions, structure, and RGM expertise to help you accelerate value, volume, and profit — fast.

If you suspect your pricing and commercial levers could work harder for you, read on to see how this focused assessment turns misalignment into measurable growth.

The Growth Problem

Why growth still feels harder than it should

Most organizations know pricing and trade investment matter, but struggle to connect strategy to execution:

Pricing, promotions, and trade terms are set in silos, with limited linkage to category strategy, brand plans, or budget realities.
Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Supply Chain often hold different — sometimes conflicting — views of value, volume, and profit.
RGM "initiatives" exist, but there is no integrated view across Strategic RGM, Precision RGM, and Action RGM.
Route‑to‑market, assortment, and price‑pack architecture decisions are made without a clear, shared understanding of cost‑to‑serve or margin impact.
The cost

Missed revenue, diluted margins, over or under investment in trade, and a lot of effort without a clear line of sight to growth.

How Pricing & Commercial Focus helps

A structured deep-dive across the RGMi DNASM Process Map

Pricing & Commercial Focus tackles these issues head‑on by using a structured, hypothesis‑based assessment grounded in RGMi DNA. Through targeted questions across functions and markets, we build a fact‑based hypothesis of your current RGM state and the key inhibitors to growth — without needing access to your internal data.

01

Strategic RGM Where value is defined

Assess your strategic RGM dilemmas and market view — the choices that decide where growth should come from before a single plan is built.

02

Precision RGM Where value is planned

Examine how pricing, promotions, assortment, investment and route-to-market are planned — and how well they connect to IBP, budgets and long-range plans.

03

Action RGM Where value is delivered

Evaluate execution across functions and PPTDM enablers — People, Process, Technology, Data and Measures — so intent turns into measurable results.

We then translate these insights into a clear narrative across all critical dimensions: from RGM dilemmas in Precision, Pricing & Investment, RTM, and PPTDM, through Category Strategy, Brand Planning, Channel Strategy, Commercial Policy, Value, Budget, Assortment, Price‑Pack Architecture, Price, RTM and Trade Investment Optimization, Cost‑to‑Serve, Media Activation, and Trade Investment Management. Finally, we convert diagnosis into action: a 90‑day OKR plan and a practical playbook that align your teams and give you a concrete path to better pricing, sharper investment, and stronger commercial outcomes.
