This PPT slide, part of the 122-slide Guide to Competitive Assessment PowerPoint presentation, presents a series of critical questions that organizations must address regarding a significant competitor. Each question is designed to provoke strategic thinking and analysis, essential for understanding competitive dynamics.

The first question addresses the reasons behind recent contract losses to competitors. This inquiry is vital for identifying weaknesses in the current approach and understanding how competitors may have gained an edge. The second question focuses on competitors' plans for market entry, emphasizing the need to assess potential impacts on the organization’s market position.

The slide also prompts consideration of how a competitor might alter its business model. This is crucial for anticipating shifts in competition and adjusting strategies accordingly. Understanding a competitor's cost structure is another key aspect, as it can reveal opportunities for cost reduction or areas where the competitor may have flexibility to undercut pricing.

Further, the slide encourages analysis of how competitors view their product portfolios. This includes recognizing which products serve as loss leaders or cash cows, which can inform pricing and marketing strategies. The question about partnerships highlights the importance of understanding alliances that could enhance a competitor's capabilities or market reach.

This reflection is essential for developing proactive strategies that can mitigate risks and leverage opportunities.
