4 Schools of Strategy (PowerPoint PPTX)

DESCRIPTION

There are countless business frameworks on Corporate and Business Strategy that have developed over the years. The frameworks can be categorized into 4 schools of thought—i.e. 4 Schools of Strategy:

1. Position School, which focuses on Competitive Strategy
2. Execution School, which focuses on Operational Excellence
3. Adaption School, which focuses on Organizational Learning and Experimentation
4. Concentration School, which focuses on Core Competencies and Strategic Intent

A successful strategy blends takeaways from all 4 schools—one that has strong coherence among its market strategy, core capabilities, and portfolio of offerings.

This framework discusses each school in depth. As part of these discussions, we also review some established frameworks, like the BCG Experience Curve, Porter's Five Forces, and Capabilities-Driven Strategy (CDS).

Additional topics touched upon include Tension in Strategy, Corporate Identity, Continuous Improvement, and others.

This deck also includes slides you can use in your own business presentations.

The PPT provides a comprehensive analysis of the Position School, emphasizing the importance of selecting favorable markets through external forces and analyses. It delves into the BCG Experience Curve, illustrating how experience can lead to cost reductions and competitive advantages. The Execution School is explored with a focus on aligning people and processes for operational excellence, leveraging methodologies like Six Sigma and Lean Management.

The Adaption School highlights the significance of organizational learning and the ability to respond quickly to changes. It references key strategic thinkers like Henry Mintzberg and Tom Peters. The Concentration School underscores the need to focus on core competencies and strategic intent, drawing on insights from Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad. This deck is an essential resource for executives seeking to integrate diverse strategic frameworks into a cohesive strategy.
