This product (Capabilities-Driven Strategy [CDS]) is a 24-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPT), which you can download immediately upon purchase.
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:
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.
The Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDS) framework is an essential tool for organizations aiming to achieve coherence in their capabilities portfolio. This PPT delves into the intricacies of building distinctive capabilities that set your company apart from competitors. It emphasizes the importance of aligning business capabilities with strategic goals to drive profitability and operational excellence. The framework is backed by examples from leading companies like P&G, Toyota, and Wal-Mart, showcasing how a coherent capabilities system can lead to sustained competitive advantage.
This deck provides a comprehensive overview of the 3-phase approach to CDS, including identifying, building, and divesting capabilities. It includes practical templates for immediate application in your business strategy sessions. The insights and strategies presented are designed to help companies navigate uncertainties and achieve long-term success. By leveraging this framework, your organization can ensure that its capabilities are not only aligned with market demands, but also optimized for future growth.
This PPT slide presents an analysis of "Capability Coherence" in the context of corporate strategy, particularly within the consumer products sector. It highlights a study from 2008 that correlates the coherence of a company's portfolio capabilities with its overall profitability and health. The graph plots various companies on a scatter plot, with the x-axis representing the coherence score and the y-axis indicating the EBIT margin percentage.
The message conveyed is clear: as companies enhance the coherence of their capabilities, they are likely to see improvements in profitability. This insight is crucial for executives considering strategic shifts or investments in capability development. The emphasis on capability coherence suggests that organizations should evaluate their portfolio strategies to align better with operational strengths, potentially leading to improved financial outcomes.
Understanding this relationship can guide decision-making processes, especially for those looking to optimize their strategic frameworks in the coming years. The implications of this analysis extend beyond mere financial metrics, touching on the importance of aligning operational capabilities with overarching corporate goals.
This PPT slide outlines a two-step process aimed at identifying and prioritizing distinctive capabilities essential for a company’s market presence. The first step emphasizes understanding market demand drivers, which are crucial for delivering products and services that meet customer needs. Key questions guide this analysis: the level of customer engagement, the diversity of product or service segments, the potential market size, and the core interests of the market. This foundational understanding is vital for aligning capabilities with actual market demands.
The second step focuses on identifying a limited number of enterprise-wide capabilities that can effectively satisfy customer needs across all business areas. It suggests a concentrated effort on capabilities that define the company as a whole. The slide stresses the importance of articulating how these capabilities can set the company apart from competitors. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of specifying the tools and processes that will support superior performance.
A critical note is made regarding market demand. The slide warns that a lack of market demand can diminish the value of any capability, underscoring the importance of aligning capabilities with market needs. This approach not only helps in prioritizing what the company should be known for, but also ensures that the capabilities developed are relevant and valuable in the eyes of the customer. Overall, this slide serves as a strategic framework for organizations looking to refine their operational focus and enhance their market positioning.
This PPT slide outlines the final phase of a strategic process focused on divesting businesses that do not contribute to the development of prioritized capabilities. It emphasizes a structured approach to streamline operations and enhance overall effectiveness.
The first step highlights the need to identify and either streamline or sell off businesses that fail to leverage or advance the organization’s highest-priority capabilities. This suggests a critical evaluation of existing operations to ensure alignment with strategic goals. The implication is that resources should be concentrated on areas that promise the most significant return on investment, rather than diluted across less impactful ventures.
The second step advocates for investing in capability areas that truly make a difference. This approach encourages a shift from a scattergun strategy of spreading expenses across various initiatives to a more focused investment strategy. It suggests that management should prioritize funding for capabilities that align with the organization's core strengths and market opportunities.
The final step reinforces the necessity of letting go of businesses that do not fit within the capabilities portfolio. This is a decisive action aimed at optimizing the business structure, ensuring that every component contributes to the overarching strategic vision. The message is clear: to thrive, organizations must be willing to make tough decisions about their business units, ensuring that all parts of the portfolio are aligned with strategic objectives.
Overall, this slide serves as a guide for executives contemplating a strategic shift towards a more capabilities-driven approach, emphasizing the importance of alignment and focused investment.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
