Understanding what competitive advantages you have and how you can exercise and protect them is crucial for maintaining success. Having a coherent and flexible approach to exercising your strategy - and thereby directing change - is now more important than ever.
In today’s quick changing markets, where customer loyalty is fleeting and competitors are increasingly agile, any effective business strategy must support the ability to quickly change your market positioning and offerings to meet ever changing demand. In addition, the level of performance for products and services must meet the ever higher expectations of the customer.
Disruptive innovation can see new markets formed and existing markets decimated in periods measured in months rather than decades. The move to a knowledge economy, the standardisation of technology and the increasing mobility of skilled staff make gaining and keeping a competitive advantage more difficult than ever. How response is your strategy to changes in internal capabilities and also rapid shifts in market and competitor activities.
A successful business strategy must include explicit requirements and capabilities for rapid business change. These must be expressed in terms of both developing and maintaining a deep change capability and in the ways in which the business must be capable of flexibly changing. This dynamic change capability is critical for ongoing success.
Dynamic Change Capability - Do You Have it..?
The challenge for any business today is to develop a strategic approach and associated flexible business model and framework that has ongoing relevance and applicability as these changes occur. Value, cost, risk, resource capabilities, technology and managing performance issues and errors are all increasingly important issues to rival financial and marketing considerations. The mix is complex.
The choice is either have no real and effective strategy and become reactive to the market and hope you can change fast enough to survive, or develop a new understanding and capability of what strategy really means and using it to start seizing and maintaining the advantage.

Are You Realising the Value..?
No matter how good your strategy is, you need to be able to fully realise the value in it. That requires excellence in design, delivery and execution that is flexible and responsive to new demands being placed upon it. Just adding new demands and requirements to existing activities and hoping the business will cope is just that - a strategy based on hope. How about developing a strategy based on value?
Do you have Strategic Flexibility..?
Every strategy is based upon a set of conditions and assumptions about the organisation, the market, competitors and customer behaviour. Any of these can change - either a little or a lot. How flexible are your business operations? How much disruption would be involved in changing its mode of operation and performance targets? Do you have to engage in re-engineering for almost every new change required? Can you tell the difference between demands for adaptive versus structural change? Is every change a challenge?
