The Strategy Playbook™

Strategy is fundamentally about creating value. Having an inspiring strategic ambition, making the right strategic choices, and executing them effectively to deliver value to the company’s shareholders and key stakeholders. Sounds simple but the reality is much more complicated. Competitive advantage is hard to achieve and even harder to sustain in dynamic environments that are characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). Consequently, the ability to think and act strategically is now more important than ever before. The ability to make systematically sound strategic decisions and translate them effectively into action is what sets the winners apart. This does not happen by coincidence.

Tackling the future value challenge successfully requires the ability to transform strategic management from an administrative formality into a core competence and a source of competitive advantage. The Strategy Playbook™ is our innovative approach to formulating corporate and competitive strategies based on 13 fundamental building blocks. The building blocks are fundamental in that they are relevant regardless of the characteristics of the business. Moreover, the building blocks are disaggregated into 42 key issues, each with an associated toolbox of strategy tools and analytical frameworks which can be tailored to your context. Build strategic management into your competitive advantage with The Strategy Playbook™.
