    Project Background

    Microsoft, a global technology leader, has been at the forefront of innovation for decades. From its flagship Windows operating system to cloud computing services like Azure, and its growing portfolio of AI-powered solutions, the company has shaped how businesses and individuals use technology worldwide. However, with increasing competition from giants like Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Apple, maintaining and growing Microsoft’s market share remains a challenge.

     

    In this context, Microsoft is looking to enhance its sales growth across key product areas such as cloud services, productivity software (Microsoft 365), hardware (Surface devices), and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality. The company is particularly focused on increasing penetration in specific regions and industries, while adapting to the ever-evolving digital economy.

    Young Leader's Challenge

    As a management consultant, your task is to develop a robust sales growth strategy for Microsoft. Your strategy must account for Microsoft’s current strengths and challenges, as well as the competitive landscape and evolving market dynamics.

     

    The goal is to provide a clear, actionable plan that will help Microsoft drive significant revenue growth in the next 3-5 years.
