From the Organizations We've Worked With
"We came to Lanna Forge uncertain whether the northern Thai market was the right direction for us. The Market Entry Assessment gave us a clear picture of what the regulatory path looked like, who the real competitors were, and what our most realistic entry scenario would be. The scenario modeling section alone saved us from a decision we would have regretted."

Managing Director, Distribution · Chiang Mai

"Our organization had grown quickly and the structure that worked at 40 people was clearly not suited to 180. The Organizational Design Workshop helped us see the friction points honestly — and the facilitator was direct about what wasn't working without being dismissive of how we'd gotten there. The revised org chart was practical, not ideal on paper and impossible in practice."

"I've been in the Executive Growth Partnership for one term now and I've found value in having someone outside the organization who understands our context well and can be honest with me. The bi-weekly sessions don't follow a template — they go where they need to go. That flexibility matters when the business doesn't behave according to a schedule."

"What I appreciated most was that Krit didn't come in with a preferred answer. The assessment was genuinely exploratory. When the findings suggested that one of our target markets carried more regulatory complexity than we'd assumed, the report was clear about that — and offered a revised path that still made sense for us."
Kanlayanee Lertprasit
Business Development Director · Bangkok

"The workshop sessions were longer than we expected and required real engagement from our department heads — which not everyone found easy at first. But by the third session, the conversations were genuinely productive. The resulting structure has reduced several recurring coordination problems that were costing us time every week."

HR Director, Manufacturing · Rayong

"We used the Market Entry Assessment before opening our second location in Bangkok. The competitor positioning section was thorough and the demographic analysis was more nuanced than we expected at the price point. We went ahead with the expansion and the first quarter results aligned reasonably well with the projections in the report."

Case Studies
Selected Client Journeys
Market Entry Assessment
Logistics firm evaluating expansion into Chiang Mai province
The Situation
The client operated a well-established freight service in Bangkok and wanted to understand whether Chiang Mai's growing industrial corridor represented a viable expansion opportunity within their existing service model.
What We Did
Lanna Forge conducted a three-week assessment covering the provincial logistics market, key competitors, relevant regulatory requirements, and three entry scenarios ranging from a light partnership model to a full branch operation.
Outcome
The client selected the partnership model as their entry path. Within the first six months, the arrangement generated revenue sufficient to cover the cost of the assessment and the partnership establishment combined.
"The assessment didn't tell us what to do — it showed us clearly what the options looked like and what each one would require. That's exactly what we needed." — Managing Director
Organizational Design Workshop
Healthcare services company restructuring after leadership succession
The Situation
A family-owned healthcare services firm had recently transitioned to second-generation leadership. The incoming managing director recognized that the organizational structure had been designed around the previous leader's personal relationships rather than functional logic.
What We Did
Three facilitated sessions over four weeks, engaging six department heads and the HR director. Sessions moved from documenting the current state to identifying key gaps and then co-designing a revised structure with clearer accountability lines.
Outcome
The new org chart was adopted with three minor modifications suggested by the team during review. Within the following quarter, the client reported measurably faster decision-making on cross-departmental matters and reduced duplication of responsibilities.
"The facilitator brought enough outside perspective to help us see what we were too close to see ourselves." — COO
Executive Growth Partnership
Founder navigating a major commercial partnership negotiation
The Situation
A technology founder was midway through a retained partnership when a significant commercial partnership opportunity arose — one that could reshape the business considerably but carried meaningful risks if structured poorly.
What We Did
The Lanna Forge consultant supported the founder through the evaluation process — reviewing term sheets, stress-testing assumptions in the financial model, and preparing the founder for board-level discussion of the opportunity.
Outcome
The partnership was entered with revised terms that addressed two significant risk points identified during the advisory sessions. The founder described the support as having materially changed the quality of the negotiation.
"Having someone I could think out loud with — who knew the context and wasn't afraid to push back — made a real difference." — Founder
