Productization: Service to Product Transformation
Productization strategy: turning services into products, packaging, pricing, scalability, professional services to product transformation.
The Productization Transformation Most Services Companies Need
Services companies hit scalability ceilings because revenue scales linearly with headcount. Productization breaks the linkage by turning repeatable services into products with productized packaging, fixed pricing, and scalable delivery. The transformation is hard but creates margin expansion and valuation re-rating.
