This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide 4 Schools of Strategy PowerPoint presentation, presents the concept of Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDS), emphasizing its role in enhancing an organization's core competencies. It outlines the importance of developing a corporate strategy that focuses on sustainable capabilities, which are essential for consistently attracting primary customers. The text indicates that a CDS is outward-looking, starting and ending with customer needs.
Three core components drive this strategy: Value Creation, Product and Service Fit, and the Capabilities System. Value Creation is highlighted as a fundamental aspect, where executives and employees at all levels must understand how the company generates value for its customers. This understanding is crucial for aligning organizational efforts with customer expectations.
The Capabilities System is described as the engine of Value Creation, consisting of 3 to 6 distinctive capabilities that enable companies to deliver their value proposition effectively. This suggests a structured approach to identifying and leveraging specific capabilities that align with the organization's strategic goals.
The slide also illustrates a cyclical relationship among Value Creation, Competitive Advantage, and Product and Service Fit. It indicates that all products and services should leverage the same capabilities system, reinforcing the idea that coherence in capabilities leads to a stronger market position. The visual representation of this cycle suggests that a well-defined capabilities system not only enhances value creation, but also contributes to sustained competitive positioning.
Overall, the slide effectively communicates the significance of a capabilities-driven approach in strategy formulation, urging organizations to focus on their unique strengths to meet customer needs and achieve long-term success.
This slide is part of the 4 Schools of Strategy PowerPoint presentation.
