OSP brand positioning and value proposition workshop
You need to get your story straight.
A lack of consistent positioning of the value of your B2B tech impairs customer trust and overall business success. If different stakeholders describe your product differently, the result is a lack of internal buy-in and disjointed communication. Inconsistent product messaging across marketing, sales, and technical teams leads to confusion, misaligned expectations, and missed opportunities for growth.
Cross-team clarity about your positioning.
Creating a unified understanding of your offering
also creates a shared vision, motivation,
and clear, consistent communication and content.
Meet your next favorite workshop!
Define and align fact-based positioning and the value proposition for your product with our workshop. We bring together stakeholders from across your organization to create your Value Map, a single product knowledge base for content that resonates across audiences and ensures consistency at every customer touchpoint.
What you'll learn
We’ll take you through techniques for aligning messaging across different teams and departments, leading to stronger buy-in and shared vision, like how to:
- Create a Value Map that reflects the technical truth of your product.
- Generate effective product positioning statements that communicate value clearly and succinctly.
- Use the Value Map to guide essential marketing activities like content architecture, campaign planning, and more.

OSP helps us to clarity. We really appreciate the great work Open Strategy Partners has done for Lockr and Source over the last year. Outside the quality of the work product itself (which was stellar), I feel like the sessions with the OSP team have actually helped us think through and understand our own company better.
OSP was able to put together a fantastic Value Map that made obvious and clear the great benefits of the Drupal Certified Partner program and structure them in a way that we could clearly communicate them. The rigor they brought to the table in guiding us made all the difference.
