The
Request
- A detailed evaluation of the current energy usage/profiles and infrastructure at one of the main Haven sites within the Southeast of England. In addition, highlight any capacity constraints within the current zoning on the site.
- Build a forward forecast of energy usage across the site for the next 15 years. This needed to include changes to operation hours, demand increases due to site expansion and electrification, the installation of renewable energy, and the introduction of EV charging.
- Construct a detailed half-hourly model to allow the client to scenario test alternative demand profiles and different operating models.
- Present to senior team members the key findings and produce clear budgets and recommendations for next steps.
Knowledge & Skills
- Data Analysis: This required a broad knowledge of the energy and sustainability sector and how multiple programmes of work integrate to deliver the most cost effective and efficient outcome for the client.
- Report Generation: A need to create documentation and reports which condensed detail from a complex model into clear and concise messaging, that could be understood and digested by non-energy experts to aid in the decision-making process.
- Stakeholder and Supplier Engagement:
Building a collaborative and continuous feedback loop with the senior stakeholders, operations teams, and key suppliers within Bourne Leisure to make sure outcomes are aligned to current business processes and targets.

Industry Insights
We were approached by a global networking systems, services, and software company that specialises in optical and routing solutions. Their technology helps carriers, enterprises, and governments build more efficient and scalable networks, particularly for high-bandwidth applications like 5G, cloud computing, and AI-driven networking. Africa is a key strategic market for this client. They are also playing an active role in advancing outlined 5G technology on the continent, emphasising a focus on routing and switching aggregation components, network slicing, and monetisation. The Opportunity The client engaged Cambridge MC to provide external insight and support to augment and accelerate the progress of their Go-to-Market plans for Africa. We proposed our in-house rapid Strategy Stress Test that delivers key insights across areas of your strategy using a 1–5 health-scoring matrix. The client's aim is to grow market share in the region with a precisely focussed strategy that targets their market with key propositions and solutions. We were engaged to review this strategy and their plans for the region, identifying critical opportunities and gaps with a quick turnaround. Approach We used our Rapid Strategy Stress Test methodology which provides: Target geographies, opportunities, and partners for resource effectiveness and success maximisation Assessment of client's Go-to-Market Strategy including identification and testing of key assumptions Identification of new opportunities and any gaps in the strategy Recommendations on how best to capitalise on the market and accelerate their route to success This included carrying out target addressable and client-addressable market sizing by country for the Optical, Data Centre Interconnect, Routing and Switching portfolios; competitor market share analysis; analysis of current and planned data centre build in the target countries; future trend analysis, including Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental trends by country. We put their GtM strategy and plans through our Stress Test framework, scoring capabilities against best-in-class – across 11 parameters such as Market Potential, Adaptability to Local Needs, Pricing and Marketing & Demand Generation. Recommendations were made against each of the 11 areas relating to opportunities to accelerate their GtM strategy. In order to support effective targeting of resources into key countries, we developed a country prioritisation framework across 15 parameters, such as GDP growth, energy supply, stability of regulatory environment, and ease of doing business. This quantitative assessment was supplemented with the real world experience of our Africa experts.
