Session Description
In this community case study session, Emma Pethybridge from Ethical Republic will discuss product ecosystems and operating models that would support scaling her agency. The key questions that she'd like to explore with the community are:
- How can she build a product ecosystem relevant to her target customers (B2B market) that includes free products for lead generation and prospect conversion, as well as a mix of low-, medium- and high-cost products?
- How can she move away from the “time for money” model and overcome client resistance in a market accustomed to set pricing based on hourly/daily rates?
- What different operating models are available to support a growth trajectory over the next 10 years to scale for impact?
Session Format
- 30-minute icebreaker and presentation
- 60 minutes of discussion, breakouts and networking
About Ethical Republic
Ethical Republic is a for-purpose agency that specializes in helping Indigenous people and local communities build alternative, community-based livelihoods in conservation areas. Places like National Parks and marine reserves are protected because they have outstanding conservation values. That could be because of wildlife populations, unique ecosystems, important habitat or even cultural landscapes. What many people don’t realize, however, is that many protected areas around the world are occupied by people who live inside park boundaries and in buffer zones. Ethical Republic works with communities that live in and around protected areas to create conservation enterprises that are sustainable, inclusive and that provide social, environmental and cultural benefits alongside financial returns.
