You think you have a winning strategy. But do you? Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win--or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it's never been more important--or more difficult--to choose the right approach to strategy. In this book, The Boston Consulting Group's Martin Reeves, Knut Haanaes, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment--how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is--a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories--Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable--depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch. Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you'll be able to answer questions such as: What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete?; When can we--and when should we--shape the game to our advantage?; How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units?; How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies? Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply. Get started today.

When that individual risk aversion gets projected onto corporate strategy, we hit problems. A large, diversified corporation with many investors, themselves diversified, can tolerate a far greater risk tolerance than the middle manager who is the gatekeeper to the plans. You can often see this avoidance of the downside at almost all costs in the strategy room. Big moves are rarely proposed, and even less frequently accepted. How often you have seen a business unit manager come into the annual planning cycle with a strong M&A strategy? Most strategy discussions are about intensifying efforts to gain a few percentage points of market share or to squeeze out a few more points of margin. That will show progress. Nobody will get fired.

It is in the revisit phase that we should make any adjustments or changes that have impacted the strategy. I suggest that strategies be developed for no longer than three years. They can be shorter, however. At the end of the three years, determine:
If the answer to most of these questions is yes, then modify what needs adjusting and continue with implementing the current strategy. If the answer to most of these questions is no, then consider developing a brand-new strategy.
A: This is a great question. The answer is alignment. It is totally fine for all three of the entities used in your example to have separate strategies. They must however be aligned in supporting the higher organizational mission, focus, and priorities. Any misalignment will cause resources to compete and be pulled in different directions. Prioritization is also key. A determination needs to be made to work on those initiatives first that impact the most and provide the largest benefit to the entire organization, no matter what strategy tier it sits at.
A: Another good question. In one word, engagement. You promote a top-down perspective by including executives in the process of developing the strategy, by engaging with them. Set up a series of one-on-one short meetings with them to take only20-minutes of their time. Ask them specific questions regarding their opinion where they see GIS providing value to the organization over the next few years. Ask them what keeps them up at night, their biggest worries about the organization. Ask them what geospatial solution would make their jobs easier. Send them a read ahead of the questions before you meet with them, get on their calendars, be brief and direct with your questions.
A: That determines if we are talking about the development of a strategy or the implementation of the strategy. It can take 1-3 months to develop a strategy depending on whether it is a high-level strategy or a detailed one that includes business units. If it includes business units, then how many are important and impacts the time to develop it. For implementation, I recommend developing a strategy that is no longer than three years. COVID taught us a valuable lesson, just about every organization that had a strategy that year, had to revise it within a year to stay the course of an obtainable vision. Plus, when it comes to all things technology, beyond three years, things can be overtaken by technological advancements and new ways of doing things.
There are a few different ways. For example, reps can visit doctors multiple times, sharing new information each visit. They can also adopt a multichannel sales strategy (mentioned above) and communicate with doctors via digital channels like email and text messages.
Many business owners think that the answer to growing their business lies in a great strategy. While a great strategy does play a huge role in the success of your business, it will fail without great implementation.
If strategy is the direction in which you move forward with your business, you also need a plan of action to actually move forward. What tactics will you use to bring about your strategy? How will you scale up your strategy from the beginning? How will different parts of your strategy integrate with each other?
Implementing a strategy is a reiterative process. You need to quickly adapt to failures and changes so that you stay on track of your goals. This requires that you have thought about alternative ways to reach your goals. In some cases, you may find that there was a serious flaw in the original strategy all along.
The bottom line is that a great strategy needs great implementation for it to succeed. Many businesses make the mistake of investing in one without the other. You need to distinguish the two and make sure you put enough of your resources into both parts.

This is a powerful example of a creative strategy designed on context. Open Innovation is a paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as the firms look to advance their technology. Simply put, Open Innovation is the platform developer marketing and third-party developer ecosystems are built on. So far, Open Innovation principles and methods have mainly been applied in the corporate world for developing new products, services or business models, and in the context of Open Source and community-based innovation. However, first insights into OIS suggest positive results related to efficiency, novelty and impact of research processes and outcomes as well as contributions to working beyond the silos in scientific research organizations and disciplines.
