Strategic Positioning of Industry Leaders PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 62-slide Strategy Chessboard PowerPoint presentation, titled "Strategy Chessboard – Examples" presents a visual representation of various industry leaders and their strategic positioning based on 2 key dimensions: analytical predictability and the ability to shape or adapt within their respective industries. The layout is structured as a chessboard, where companies are categorized according to their strategic approaches and the predictability of their industry environments.

On the vertical axis, the slide differentiates between companies that aim to shape the industry versus those that adapt within it. This distinction highlights the varying levels of ambition and strategic intent among the companies listed. For instance, Arcelor Mittal is positioned in the "M&A rollup" category, indicating a proactive approach to shaping the industry through mergers and acquisitions. In contrast, companies like IKEA and Wal-Mart focus on innovation and discounting strategies, respectively, which suggest a more adaptive stance within their markets.

The horizontal axis measures industry predictability, ranging from high to low. Companies like Ryanair and Apple are placed in areas that reflect their strong analytical capabilities and strategic foresight. Ryanair's low-cost travel model and Apple's diverse product ecosystem showcase their ability to navigate and thrive in predictable environments. Conversely, firms like ZARA and Google are noted for their dynamic strategies, indicating a more flexible approach in less predictable contexts.

The slide effectively illustrates how different strategic options can lead to varied outcomes, emphasizing the importance of aligning a company's DNA with its strategic choices. This framework serves as a valuable tool for executives seeking to understand how industry leaders navigate their unique challenges and opportunities.

This slide is part of the Strategy Chessboard PowerPoint presentation.

This presentation is created by former McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, EY, and Capgemini consultants. Strategy Chessboard is a powerful A.T. Kearney Strategic Planning framework used for selecting the optimal strategic approach.
