This PPT slide titled "Core Competency Analysis" outlines a structured approach to evaluating a company's internal capabilities. It emphasizes the importance of identifying core competencies and critical capabilities, which are essential for strategic decision-making. The slide is divided into several sections, each providing insights into when to apply this analysis, its definition, and its purpose.
The "When to Use" section suggests that this analysis is beneficial for assessing potential and establishing a strategic baseline. It highlights the need to define options and evaluate them effectively. The definition provided clarifies that this analysis focuses on identifying and evaluating the core competencies that a company possesses.
The purpose of the analysis is to assess a company's capabilities within the context of its value chain. It employs a hierarchical model to categorize these capabilities, indicating how they can be leveraged for strategic initiatives. This model is crucial for understanding the degree to which these competencies contribute to the organization’s overall effectiveness.
The competencies model framework is illustrated with an example from McDonald's, showcasing how core competencies, critical strategic capabilities, critical enabling capabilities, and primary capabilities are structured. This visual representation aids in grasping the interrelationships between different types of capabilities.
Caveats are also noted, warning against the risk of narrowly defining the market in which a client competes. This caution serves as a reminder to maintain a broad perspective when assessing competencies to avoid misalignment with market requirements.
Overall, this slide serves as a valuable tool for executives looking to enhance their understanding of internal capabilities and how they can strategically position their organizations.
