WASALOS’ view is that strategy is more than just a plan. It's a proprietary set of actions that serve customers better than the competition. It's also the "science" of allocating scarce resources.
WASALOS believes that all value-driving strategies must:
- Target sustained value creation through leadership in chosen markets and segments
- Be based on a robust definition of boundaries between markets, discovered through correctly analyzing cost and customer sharing
- Understand a company's position in its market space and growth cycle by: either focusing on the core, expand, or redefine
- Clearly define which leadership model or models to pursue: cost, differentiation or industry influence
- Challenge established industry rules of the game
- Define repeatable models that allow you to win again and again
- Identify what it will take to win from the standpoints of organization and capabilities
- Be dynamic and flexible, with contingency plans for reacting to leading indicators of external changes
- Be implementable; that is be achievable, affordable and focused
- Translate into action and drive to results
