This particular challenge focuses on helping Wenco increase the amount and relative percentage of predictable recurring revenues. The company has a well established strategic plan that will be shared in detail, but needs to transition its revenues from traditional "one deal at a time" high capital expense (CAPEX) sales to recurring, predictable operating expense (OPEX) sales. The company strategy identifies key growth areas such as data/IoT and autonomy, and has been funded by its parent, Hitachi Construction Machines, to develop a cloud platform to be able to deliver global solutions to a larger and wider global market.

To help us deliver our goal to increase recurring revenues, students are expected to: Research our current strategy, through a detailed case study and confidential strategic plans that will be provided Develop a strategy to price existing and new solutions in a manner that shifts from one-off CAPEX to predictable, recurring revenue OPEX models.
