Strategy rests on unique activities
Variety based positioning Needs based positioning Access based positioning
Best when a company can
best produce particular
products or services using
distinctive sets of activities
Best when groups of
customers have different
sets of needs and tailored
set of activities can serve
those needs best
Used when the best
configuration of activates to
reach customers is
different.
Strategy can be described in terms of customers.
However, the essence of strategy is in the way chosen activities are performed.
Strategy is about choosing activities that are different from rivals. If one set of activities enabled us
to produce all varities, meet all needs and access all customers. companies could easily shift
among them and operational effectiveness would determine performance
John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney
Strategy requires trade offs
Strategic positions not sustainable unless there are trade offs with other positions. Trades-offs
means more of one thing necessitates less of another.
Inconsistencies in image Arise from activities themselves Limits on internal control &
coordination's
Company known for one kind of
value may lack credibility and
confuse customers or
undermine reputations if it
attempts to deliver another kind
of value at same time
Different positions(and their
activities) require different
product. configuration,
equipment, employee behaviour,
skills and management
systems.
Companies that try to be all
things to all customers risk
confusion in the trenches as
employees make decisions
without a clear framework
If there is no trade off companies will never achieve sustainable advantage. They will have to run
faster & faster just to stay in place. Essence of strategy is choosing what not to do. Without trade
offs there would be no need for choice and hence no need for strategy, and performance would
depend wholly on operational effectiveness.
Strategic positions not sustainable unless there are trade offs with other positions. Trades-offs
means more of one thing necessitates less of another.
John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney
Problems with substituting operational effectiveness with strategy
As industries converge the more companies become the same
Use of benchmarking(best practice) leads to convergence to Industry average
Outsourcing of activities to efficient third parties means activities(the basis of competitive
advantage) become generic.
As competitors imitate improvements in quality, cycle times & supplier partnership strategies
converge. Everybody ends up running the same race.
Competition based on operational effectiveness alone, is mutually destructive. Can only be
arrested through limiting competition, i.e. through mergers or acquisitions.
Companies left standing are companies that outlast others, not ones with competitive advantage.
John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney

necessary but not usually sufficient

Operational effectiveness in the long term leads to absolute increase in effectiveness but no
relative improvement for anyone.
As best practice diffuses throughout industry any relative advantage eliminated.
End result is that bar for “efficiency” has been raised for everyone but nobody has
gained relative advantage.

Advantage or
disadvantage
comes from all
activities a company
undertakes Cost Advantage from
doing the same activity
more efficiently
Differentiation through
choice of activities
which are performed
Operational effectiveness is not
strategy
A Company
outperforms rivals if
it can establish a
difference it can
preserve.
Strategic positioning
means performing
different activities or
same activities in
different way
Operational
Effectiveness
means performing
same activates
better than
competitors
John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney
Why do so many companies fail to
have a strategy?
When managers operate far from productivity frontier trade offs appear unnecessary.
Because of fear of competition managers seek to imitate everything about competitors.
They chase technology for its own sake
Managers mistake “customer focus” to mean that they must serve all customers needs all the
time.
Trades off require making some hard decisions.
Managers sometimes don’t want to disappoint customers or employees
Managers see trade offs as a sign of weakness.

Value Innovation: The Cornerstone of Blue Ocean Strategy
Value Innovation is created in the region where a company’s actions favourably affect both its cost
structure and its value proposition to buyers.
Value
Innovation
Costs: Costs are reduced by eliminating
and reducing the factors an
industry competes on
Buyer Value: Buyer Value is lifted by raising
and creating elements the
industry has never offered

Why do we need a Strategic
position?
Pre WWII
Production Orientation
Focus on efficiency in producing standard product.
We make the product according to our specification
1940’s -1970’s
Selling Orientation
Post 70’s
Market Orientation
Focus on selling our product.
Selling the brand
If people know about our product they will buy it
If we find out what customers want & then make it, then market it to customers, they may buy it if it suits their needs at a particular time
Source: P Kotler, Marketing Management, 7th Ed
Can we produce the product?
Can we produce enough of it?
Can we sell the product?
Can we charge enough for it?
What do customers want?
Can we develop it while they still want it?
How can we keep our customers happy?

John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney
Each Segment requires a different value
proposition which must resonate with their needs
Segmentation, comined with an audit of core competencies, generates options for
potential target markets to serve.
A value proposition is generally built around excellence in one of three dimensions
Operational Excellence
•Price
•Selection
•Convenience
•Zero Defects
Product Leadership
•High performance product
•Entering new market spaces
•Product Introductions
•Service Introductions
Customer Intimacy
•Customer knowledge
•Solutions offered
•Share of wallet
•Retention
It also provides the basis around which a value proposition should be built
John Devlin MBA FCCA https://au.linkedin.com/in/JohnDevlinSydney

dimension on which we will compete
