Price Pack Architecture: From OBPPC to Global Roadmap

Buynomics - RGM Academy - 2

Next course cohort opens 3 March 2026.

Move from scattered Price Pack Architecture (PPA) tweaks and isolated willingness-to-pay conjoint studies to a single, coherent PPA program that sits at the centre of commercial decision-making.

We walk you step by step through designing a holistic PPA framework and embedding it into portfolio, pricing, promo, innovation, and JBP processes so PPA becomes a repeatable, data-driven system that improves mix, margin, and growth.
