DESCRIPTION
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
2. Deploy Battle Strategies
3. Grow the Core, Go for More
4. Position to Build a Competitive Advantage
Under Position and Conquer, we conduct strategic analysis to determine our organization's optimal position in the industry and develop a strategy to pursue that position.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The Strategy Chessboard framework is grounded in a 2x2 matrix that categorizes four core Umbrella Strategies, each tailored to specific industry conditions and organizational needs. This presentation zeroes in on the "Position and Conquer" strategy, offering a deep dive into its four strategic approaches. The deck is designed to equip executives with actionable insights and practical templates for immediate application.
We emphasize the importance of understanding industry predictability and aligning strategic moves accordingly. The "Position and Conquer" strategy is particularly effective for organizations aiming to secure a competitive edge by leveraging high analytical predictability. This PPT serves as an essential tool for leaders seeking to navigate complex strategic landscapes with precision and foresight.
