Framework for Identifying Distinctive Capabilities Aligning Capability Coherence with Financial Success Strategic Divestment for Capability Alignment

Formulating a Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDS) is easy but execution is difficult, especially in turbulent times. This is not the time to find a cave and hibernate until the economic storm passes. It is unlikely that the storm will pass anytime soon. Capabilities-Driven Strategy is the only way to remain equipped for perpetually stormy weather.

Companies need to take care or build those capabilities that are genuinely needed and not those that do not serve our customers. Capabilities do not manifest themselves overnight. They take time to grow. But companies who have mastered the art of developing and implementing a Capabilities-Driven Strategy have grown to develop world's leading brands. Distinctive capabilities have been used to propel them to reach Operational and Organizational Excellence.

There is a 3-phase approach to CDS that organizations can master. This framework discusses the importance of CDS and its 3-phase approach:

1. Identify Capabilities
2. Build Capabilities
3. Divest Businesses

Having a good mastery of CDS will direct companies to achieve capabilities coherence essential in achieving growth.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

Framework for Identifying Distinctive Capabilities

This PPT slide outlines a two-step process for identifying and prioritizing distinctive capabilities essential for market presence. The first step involves analyzing market demand drivers, including customer engagement, product diversity, potential market size, and core market interests. This analysis aligns capabilities with actual market demands. The second step focuses on identifying a limited number of enterprise-wide capabilities that satisfy customer needs across all business areas, emphasizing how these capabilities differentiate the company from competitors. It also specifies the tools and processes necessary for superior performance. A critical note highlights that a lack of market demand can diminish capability value, underscoring the need for alignment with market needs to ensure relevance and value.

Aligning Capability Coherence with Financial Success

This PPT slide analyzes "Capability Coherence" within corporate strategy in the consumer products sector, referencing a 2008 study linking portfolio capability coherence to profitability. The scatter plot displays companies with the x-axis representing coherence scores and the y-axis indicating EBIT margins. Larger circles represent higher revenue companies. Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Nestlé show favorable positions with high EBIT margins and coherence scores, while Sara Lee and ConAgra exhibit lower coherence and profitability. The analysis indicates that enhancing capability coherence correlates with improved profitability, guiding executives in strategic shifts and investments in capability development. Organizations should assess portfolio strategies to align operational strengths with corporate goals for better financial outcomes.

Strategic Divestment for Capability Alignment

This PPT slide outlines a strategic process for divesting non-contributing businesses to enhance organizational effectiveness. The first step involves identifying and streamlining or selling off businesses that do not advance prioritized capabilities, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and focusing resources on high-return areas. The second step emphasizes investing in capability areas that align with core strengths and market opportunities, shifting from a scattergun strategy to focused investments. The final step reinforces the necessity of eliminating businesses outside the capabilities portfolio, optimizing the business structure to support the overarching strategic vision. Organizations must make decisive choices about their business units to ensure alignment with strategic objectives.
