This PPT slide, part of the 62-slide Strategy Chessboard PowerPoint presentation, presents a hypothetical utility company and illustrates how its various business units can be categorized within the Strategy Chessboard framework. This framework is crucial for understanding the distinct strategic needs of different units, particularly in complex industries. The slide is divided into 2 main sections: "Shape the industry" and "Adapt 'within' the industry," which reflect the dual focus on external and internal strategic considerations.
The left side emphasizes the importance of shaping the industry through strategic initiatives like "Wholesale and trading" and "Change industry conduct." These strategies suggest a proactive approach to influencing market dynamics and adapting to evolving conditions. The mention of specific authors and frameworks indicates a reliance on established strategic theories, which adds credibility to the proposed strategies.
On the right side, the focus shifts to adapting strategies within the industry. This includes areas such as "Domestic transportation" and "Pursue dynamic strategies," highlighting the need for flexibility in response to varying levels of analytical predictability. The categorization of business units based on their operational context—ranging from high to low analytical predictability—provides a clear visual representation of how different strategies may be required depending on the market environment.
The overall message is that a one-size-fits-all approach does not suffice for large organizations with diverse business units. Each unit may require tailored strategies based on its specific circumstances and the broader industry context. This nuanced understanding is essential for executives looking to optimize their strategic planning processes.
