Chapter 4 Focus on the Big Picture,
not the NumbersTeam 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley
![Page 2: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Lengthy industry analysis Tactics to increase market shares, capture
new segments, and cut costs A full budget it almost invariably attached Produced by people in various parts of the
company, often with conflicting agendas.
Typical Red Ocean Strategy Plan
![Page 3: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Often these plans do not contain strategy at all
Rather a compilation of tactics that individually make sense, but collectively do not add up to a clear unified direction.
These “Typical” Strategies don’t make sense
![Page 4: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
another way to define strategy focuses on creating a set of measurements for 4
strategic perspectives
Balanced Scorecard (mgt 3370)

conceptually unclear model with too many details
The problem:
![Page 6: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
By drawing an effective strategy canvas, a company and it’s managers can focus on the big picture rather than emersion in numbers, jargon, and operational details.
Focusing on the BIG PICTURE
![Page 7: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
First, it shows the strategic profile of the industry
Second, it shows the strategic profile of current and potential competitors.
Finally, it shows the company’s strategic profile, or value curve.
As stated before in Chp. 2, a Strategic Profile needs to have focus, divergence, and a compelling tagline.
Strategy Canvas Accomplishes (3) things
![Page 8: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Maps out what will separate you from your competition
Red Ocean strategy→Blue Ocean strategy requires a strong leader or a crisis.
Four steps to complete the Strategy Canvas.
The Strategy Canvas
![Page 9: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Find out what the current positioning of the strategy is.
EFS (European Financial Services) suffered from ill-defined strategy.
ISQS 3344 (Flamm)
Step 1: Realizing Current Strategy
![Page 10: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EFS’s Problem=No Defined Strategy◦ Management from Europe, North America, Asia,
and Oceania convened and could not agree on its competitive advantage
◦ It was the belief that regions and demographics contributed to different strategies
“European Financial Services” (EFS) and its Competitive Strategy
![Page 11: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Contradictions in competitive strategies◦ Website advanced but slow
Comparison with Clearskies◦ Focused, original strategy◦ Moving away from red ocean◦ Strategy canvas very different from competitors
and EFS (evidence of a blue ocean)
Awakening to Current Strategy
![Page 12: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A team needs to be sent into the field, putting managers face-to-face with what they must make sense of: how people use or don’t use their products or services.
A company should never outsource its eyes. There is simply no substitute for seeing for yourself.
Step 2: Visual Exploration
![Page 13: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
He is hailed as a business visionary for his realization that the providers of financial information also needed to provide online analytics to help users make sense of the data.
Michael Bloomberg
![Page 14: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using business intelligence software called WebFOCUS from Information Builders, Brinker restaurants can calculate sales by shift and by restaurant to determine optimal labor costs.
From there, managers can decide how many employees are needed at any given site and time, and adjust workforce levels accordingly, on a day-by-day basis, to reflect demand.
![Page 15: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The managers were sent into the field for 4 weeks to explore the 6 paths to creating blue oceans.
Each manager was to interview and observe 10 people involved in corporate foreign exchange.
EFS Example
![Page 16: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The managers concluded that customers valued speedy confirmation of transactions most.◦ Not account relationship managers, like the
managers first hypothesized.
Then each team had to propose a new strategy with 6 new value curves.
EFS’s Findings
![Page 17: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
could be helpful in brainstorming new ideas
SWOT Analysis (mgt 3370)
![Page 18: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Part a: Teams present their newly redrawn strategy canvases◦ draw your canvas based on insights from field
observations◦ show new ideas to a variety of people
Ex: EFS teams presented their new canvases to noncustomers, customers of competitors, and current customers, and corporate executives.
Step 3: Visual Strategy Fair
![Page 19: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Part b: Get feedback on alternative strategy canvases from customers, competitor’s customers, and noncustomers
get invitees to explain what they like and dislike about the different value curve proposals
Ex: Teams presented their curves, judges picked their favorites and gave feedback
Step 3: Visual Strategy Fair
![Page 20: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Part c: After collecting feedback, determine the optimal new strategy ◦ should be based criteria you have found that will
create a successful strategy Ex: following the strategy fair, the teams
were able to come up with a final value curve that reduced costs, focused on factors important to the customer, and had a compelling tagline
Step 3: Visual Strategy Fair
![Page 21: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step 3: Visual Strategy Fair
![Page 22: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After future strategy is set, the last step is to communicate it in a way that can easily be understood by any employee
A visual layout helps show where the company currently stands and which areas it may need improvement in
Step 4: Visual Communications
![Page 23: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Pioneer-Migrator-Settler Map Pioneers (Blue Ocean)
◦ Offers unprecedented value◦ Value curve diverges from competition◦ Most powerful source of profitability growth
Settlers (Red Ocean)◦ “Me too” businesses◦ Value curve similar to the industry norm◦ Not a big contributor to future growth
Migrators◦ In between the two◦ Extends value curve◦ Offer improved value, not innovative value
![Page 27: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Evaluating Your Company’s Portfolio Plot current & planned portfolio’s on a PMS
map Valuable exercise in visualizing future
performance Portfolio consisting mainly of settlers
◦ Low growth trajectory◦ Conformed to benchmarking, imitating, and price
competition
Portfolio with a lot of migrators◦ Not exploiting growth potential◦ Are marginalized by value-innovating company’s
![Page 28: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Goal for Management Shift the balance of future portfolio’s
◦ Towards pioneers◦ Path to profitable growth
Balance the portfolio of businesses◦ Between profitable growth & cash flow◦ Settlers
Frequently today’s cash generators (Provides liquidity)
◦ Pioneers Large growth potential (Investment with high return) Require cash at outset

Strategic planning should be more about collective wisdom building than top-down or bottom-up planning
Building the big picture is more important than number crunching exercises
A creative element is necessary, along with motivational techniques to invoke willing commitment, rather than bargaining to produce negotiated commitment
Overcoming Limitations of Strategic Planning
![Page 31: Team 1: Alec Wegmann, Mark Beal, Adrienne Collins, Jessica Drummond, Mike Sanchez, Spencer Thomas Mario Santos, & Chad Hensley](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bffc1a28abf838cc178d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Building the process around a picture address many of managers’ discontents with existing strategic planning and yields much better results
