WHAT IS STRATEGY?

Inability to translate those gains into sustainable profitability rivals can soon copy any competitive advantage. Failure to distinguish between operational effectiveness and strategy Management tools are not strategy

WHAT IS STRATEGY?
OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS perform similar activities better, important for cost position and levels of differentiation. (Japanese low cost, high quality) Absolute improvement in OE, relative improvement to no one Benchmark look alike?

WHAT IS STRATEGY?
VARIETY-BASED POSITIONING company can best produce particular products/services using distinctive sets of activities. Only subset of customers needs (liffy Lube International automotive lubricants) NEEDS-BASED POSITIONING a segment of customers (IKEA young people home furnishing needs) ACCESS-BASED POSITIONING needs are similar, the configuration of activities to reach them is different (Carmike Cinemas in towns with population under 200.000)

WHAT IS STRATEGY?
TRADE-OFFS More of one thing necessitates less of another what to do and what not to. (Neutrogena hard to imitate) THREE BASES OF TRADE-OFFS: 1. inconsistencies in image or reputation 2. trade-offs from activities themselves different equipment, skills, employee behavior, management systems 3.

CHANGE IS NOT THE PROBLEM, ENGAGEMENT IS Assumption: People are against change comparison with a nonskier give him ability to influence speed and direction The objective is not to get people to support change, but to give them responsibility for engendering change, some control over their destiny.

STRATEGY MAKING MUST BE DEMOCRATIC Ideas must be exchanged between young and senior management new voices Fiasco of a young manager in front of senior management (Trimo fasadni sistem)

STRATEGY AS REVOLUTION
7. ANYONE CAN BE A STRATEGY ACTIVIST Are the employees victims or activists? 8. PERSPECTIVE IS WORTH 50 IQ POINTS Look at the world through new lens 9. TOP-DOWN AND BOTTOM-UP ARE NOT THE ALTERNATIVES The revolution doesnt need to start at the top but must be understood and endorsed by the top. Strategy-making process must achieve diversity and unity. (HIT razlini predlogi in poenotenje) 10. YOU CANT SEE THE END FROM THE BEGINNING It can be predicted where the strategy-making process will lead.
