Five Unconventional Acts for Strategic Differentiation PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide 5 Leadership Practices of Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDR) PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for a Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDS), emphasizing 5 unconventional acts that differentiate successful companies from their competitors. The structure is divided into 2 main sections: Conventional Wisdom and Unconventional Acts.

In the Conventional Wisdom section, there are 2 key focuses: "Focus on Growth" and "Pursue Functional Excellence." This suggests that traditional strategies often prioritize immediate growth and operational efficiency. However, the slide argues that these approaches may not be sufficient for long-term success.

The Unconventional Acts section presents 5 strategic actions that organizations should adopt. The first act, "Build a Clear Identity," highlights the importance of differentiation. Companies should be clear about their core strengths to foster growth. The second act, "Focus on a Few Capabilities," encourages organizations to concentrate on specific cross-functional capabilities that align with their strategic goals.

"Develop a Solid Culture" is the third act, emphasizing the need to celebrate and leverage cultural strengths within the organization. This suggests that a strong culture can be a significant driver of success. The fourth act, "Manage our Costs," advocates for a disciplined approach to cost management, urging companies to eliminate non-essential expenditures to focus resources on what truly matters.

Finally, "Shape our Future" encourages organizations to re-imagine their capabilities and realign their strategies to meet evolving market demands. This holistic approach positions companies to be agile and resilient in the face of change. Overall, the slide presents a compelling case for adopting these unconventional practices to achieve sustained success.

This slide is part of the 5 Leadership Practices of Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDR) PowerPoint presentation.
