Want to move from market player to market shaper?

Some companies compete. Others shape the market. Why's that?

Because the fastest-growing companies don't win through smarter tactics or bigger campaigns. They've built something structural: a self-reinforcing system of what they stand for, what they deliver, and how they show up.

And this book is the blueprint.

Discover the hidden growth logic behind market shapers like:

Three Forces Model

The Three Forces Model decodes the growth logic that market shapers share — Big Idea, Proposition Experience, and Communication Experience.

Three distinct forces.

One compounding architecture.

The second edition of Growth Through Experience now delivers the full, in-depth blueprint.

For the first time, the power of the Three Forces is now measurable.

The proprietary Three Forces Score quantifies individual force strength and cross-force coherence for any company or brand — turning strategic positioning from a qualitative judgment into a precise and actionable diagnostic.

2.7×

growth multiple

The Three Forces Score has been applied across dozens of companies in six industries and three continents. And the results are consistent: companies with a high score outgrow their industry average by 2.7× — and grow at 6.7× the rate of low-scoring companies.

Use the initial self-assessment in the second edition of Growth Through Experience to identify your archetype and pinpoint which forces are holding you back.

The Three Forces Intelligence Engine is an AI-powered research and assessment toolkit that applies the full framework to any company or brand — a structured, evidence-based evaluation across hundreds of sources and all eleven scoring dimensions, delivering a precise and actionable competitive positioning picture.
