Strategic positions require fit • Fit refers to the integration of every part of firms’ internal structures to better serve a niche. • Well-positioned firms craft themselves to serve niches better than others.
Fit: Entrepreneurial advantage • Possibility of crafting a perfect fit between specific opportunities and internal capabilities • Firms that fit opportunities extremely well have an advantage over bigger, stronger opponents… • Examples: • Dollar Express vs Dollar Tree • Youthbuild vs School District • Giovanni’s Room vs Borders
Human Resources Technology Infrastructure Procurement Margin Value chain After SalesService Marketing/Sales • A strong value chain is a cross-linked net of activities that affects the cost or performance of the whole. • Supporting a strategy by optimizing both individual functions and the links between them to support a strategy yields a powerful, durable, hard-to-duplicate advantage. InboundLogistics OutboundLogistics Operations
Activity system • A less linear way of thinking about the internal fit that supports strategy. • Map crucially interrelated features and functions that define a firm’s unique skills and strategy. • Support competitive advantage with reinforcing patterns or systems.

Experience curve • For positional strategies, experience is the ultimate source of advantage. • Experience fuels the tacit knowledge that drives productivity improvements, innovations, elaborations of strategy, etc • Successful firms are especially good at creating the social and institutional structures that support the shared development of such tacit knowledge
Fit exercise • Draw the value chain for your firm • Note reinforcing (and jarring) pieces • Try to create more reinforcements OR • Jot down functions and features • Look for patterns and connections • Try to crystallize patterns
Business model • A business model describes what a firm will do, and how, to build and capture wealth for stakeholders • Effective business models operationalize good strategies -- turning position and fit into wealth
Effective business models build & capture wealth • Build wealth: • By efficiently (profitably) transforming inputs into something that customers value enough to pay for – again and again and again • By supporting growth • Capture wealth: • By siphoning off some of the accumulated wealth for stakeholders • And by developing recognizable value – strategic positions, know-how, customers, free cash flow, lifestyles, social impact – that can be captured
Effective business models require hard choices • About who matters • Owners, investors, family, workers, community • About what kind of wealth matters • Financial capital, social capital, intellectual capital...ie., cash, good life, rich family life, entrepreneurial impact, social impact • About the strategy that will deliver the wealth that matters to the stakeholders that matter • About the structure that supports strategy
Business models start with what the world gives 1.Describe the landscape: • Porter • Environment, industry, and relevant trends. 2. Paint in competitors: • Competitor table. Perceptual maps. • What do you need to play? How do competitors compete? What opportunities exist? 3. Identify strengths & weaknesses • Vision, skills, core technologies
Business models are based on strategy 4. Identify stakeholders you must serve • Owners, family, workers, community 5. Identify the wealth you will capture • Capital, good life, family life, fameentrepreneurial effectiveness, social value 6. Choose a position or approach • And elaborate a strategy to realize this • Especially a revenue model
Business models define structure 7. Sketch a structure to operationalize the strategy • Value chain, activity system, culture, simple rules 8. Work out the implications • Functional strategies • Timeline and milestones • Financial projections & capital needs • Path to profitability, sale, or other realizationof value
Build a business model exercise • Opportunity • Stakeholders • Wealth • Strategy • Model • Structural implications, timing, capital needs, etc
Good execution is more important than good strategy! • Seeing a position or approach is fundamentally creative • Immersion, scenarios, future search, • Constructing a strategy involves careful analysis and planning • Executing a strategy requires relentless discipline
