I think they've two options:
1) they have both the expertise as well as the reputation for micro stuff. The Pentax Q is certainly a start although I suspect that they pushed it too far here.
2) they could simply move to being a lens manufacturer only. Both MFT and Sony E are open systems in this respect.
Their quest in the DSLR market is rather hopeless IMHO. They are just too small.

I suppose Pentax Q was a quite nonsense move although it might have brought some experience with it (albeit a costly one assuming their scarce financial resources). I agree MFT and Sony E are open markets but in addition to the huge DSRL market (where they have already well proven, reputable primes)
