...Answering Key Questions:

  • Which markets should you compete in? Are they big/small? profitable? growing?  What are the key trends?
  • How are you competitively positioned? If advantaged, can this be sustained and exploited?  If not, can you become so – or should you refocus elsewhere?
  • What are your strategic assets and capabilities? What strategic options do these open up, and which are the best?
  • Which customers will you seek to serve, with what products/services? Are there segments within the larger market which offer better returns or where you are better placed to compete?
  • How will you produce your products and services, price them, and get them to market? Are your resources focused on activities which are aligned with your strategy and really add value?
