Strategy Chessboard - Position and Conquer (PowerPoint PPT)

The Strategy Chessboard is a holistic Strategy Development framework developed by A.T. Kearney. It first presents a 2x2 of 4 Umbrella Strategies:

1. Position and Conquer
2. Redefine the Industry
3. Reinvent the Industry
4. Maintain Foresight and Flexibility

Each Umbrella Strategy is each further divided into 4 more Strategic Approaches. The composite of 16 Strategic Approaches and 4 Umbrella Strategies forms the "chessboard." The Strategy Chessboard is useful in navigating through the plethora of strategic thinking philosophies and frameworks, to determine the optimal choice for your organization's particular situation.

This presentation focuses on the first Umbrella Strategy—Position and Conquer. It provides an overview to the Strategy Chessboard, the Position and Conquer Umbrella Strategy, and the 4 Strategic Approaches under Position and Conquer:

1. Identify and Adapt to Profit Patterns
