Elements of an Effective Strategic Vision
A good strategic vision should include:
• A statement of what the organization wants to be and how it will get there • Concentrate goals and milestones (financial and otherwise) • Core capabilities that need to be developed • A description of how to change the organization • A proposed market and product scope supporting the vision • Robustness in the face of multiple scenarios • Stretch to reach beyond the organization’s current grasp • Passion, in order to galvanize the organization • Simplicity and clarity of purpose
Ref. Profiting from Uncertainty - Paul J. H. Schoemaker

Vision Example - 1 of 5

Vision:
• Anyone can get any information (site, geographic area or global level) at any time, any where, any way, given the proper security constraints. • The end-user does not have to know the location of the data. • Maintain data in only one master place within the organization. • Implement systems to enhance end-user productivity. • Systems are able to support competitive business demands with immediate response to quickly changing business needs. • Information Systems adds a competitive edge to the company’s product line.

Vision Example - 2 of 5
Vision : We seek to be an integral partner in the achievement of the company’s vision and mission through the appropriate application of Information Technology to business needs.

Vision Example - 3 of 5
We will have Business Systems that: Take advantage of global “sameness” • Are purchased whenever practical • Have integrated data that is entered only once • Provide consistent definitions of information • Support functional and cross-functional business processes • Deliver the right information, at the right place, at the right time, in the right format • Are flexible enough to support changing environments • Can be accessed by office, home, and mobile workers • Provide capabilities to external customers and suppliers

Strategic Objectives
Strategic objectives state how you are going to achieve the vision and mission. Following are examples of objectives from different companies.

Strategic Objectives Example - 1 of 6
Information Systems Objectives :

 Implement solutions in partnership with the business units. Champion each project ( business-requested project, not infrastructure projects) by business management to ensure that business issues drive technical solutions.
Contd...

Align Information Systems projects and priorities with business priorities and direction. Likewise, the strategic direction of the company will determine the strategic direction of Information Systems. Provide responsiveness and flexibility to address changing business requirements rather than simply utilizing technology. Meet External customer requirements and assist in solving our customers’ business issues. Maximize productivity and reduce costs throughout the business Provide Real information for business decisions (as opposed to endless amounts of data). Information must be available anytime(24 hour access), anywhere in the world, in any way (flexible formats), for any one (with security). Support worldwide information requirements and business objectives.

Contd...

Minimize Information Systems investments through the use of standardized hardware and packaged software, whenever possible. This will minimize support requirements and provide for maximum growth and flexibility to take advantage of the future industry developments. Minimize risk to the company by utilization of proven, yet not out-of-date, technology. Educate the users and maximize their ability , through tools and training, to get information without dependence on Information Systems and utilize new capabilities and leading technology in providing a competitive advantage for the business Balance Information Systems resources and expenditures with the business demands and the return on investment ( ROI ) to the business

Information Systems Strategies 2 of 6
• Drive growth by enabling superior consumer insight, streamlining revenue producing activities, providing value added customer services and increasing collective innovation • Accelerate productivity by eliminating people, paper and time from business processes and providing people with unique insights into their activities and decision processes • Enable organizational excellence by providing people with instantaneous, relevant, integrated information and knowledge any time and any place in the world • Provide an information technology infrastructure which is reliable, secure and responsive at top 10% cost efficiency levels

• Develop an integrated, information systems plan to support global food business and deploy solutions which enable global business processes

Strategic Objectives Example - 3 of 6
Information Systems Objectives: Information Systems will provide support, guidance, and advice to all areas of the business. The assistance will include the application and use of technology, in addition to suggestions on business process improvements. Provide continued support after the project implementation to ensure you meet the business needs. Design Systems for ease of use to maximize the business productivity. We will provide superior communication to ensure information sharing throughout the organization regarding technology and computing. We will understand the business and communicate in a language that is understandable. All areas of business will know who to call for assistance. We will treat our technology users like customers and serve them with a positive attitude.

Nurture and Leverage Unique
Leverage resources Establish a vision Build resources Leverage across markets

Flexibly pursue via Simple Rule
Pursue opportunities Jump into the confusion Keep moving Seize opportunities Finish strong How should we proceed? Key processes and unique simple rules Rapidly changing, ambiguous markets Unpredictable Managers will be too tentative in executing on promising opportunities Growth

Strategic question
Source of advantage

Where should we be?
Unique, valuable position with tightly integrated activity system Slowly changing, wellstructured markets Sustained It will be too difficult to alter position as conditions change Profitability

What should we be?
Unique, valuable, inimitable resources Moderately changing, well-structured markets Sustained Company will be too slow to build new resources as conditions change Long-term dominance

Purpose
They spell out key features of how a process is executed: “What makes our process unique?”
They focus managers on which opportunities can be pursued and which are outside the pale They help managers rank the accepted opportunities They synchronize managers with the pace of emerging opportunities and other parts of the company They help managers decide when to pull out of yesterday’s opportunities

FOUR APPROACHES TO INNOVATION
INNOVATION STRATEGY Recruiting and Retaining Superior Human Capital UPSIDES • Better control of IP • Long-term growth focus • Difficult for competitors to imitate • Internationalization of skills and capabilities • Full capture of returns DOWNSIDES • Organic growth is slower • Challenge of identifying and valuing superior human capital • Full risk exposure • Long time horizon • Uncertain returns SOME EXEMPLAR COMPANIES • Goldman Sachs • Google • Merck • Research In Motion • Southwest Airlines • W.L. Gore • Apple • BMW • Hewlett-Packard REQUIREMENTS • Astute strategic human resource management • Organizational flexibility

Internal R&D Spending

• Culture of risk tolerance • Organizational flexibility • Long-term commitment

Strategic Alliances

• Shared risk • Multiple, smallscale investments provide strategic options • Faster than internal development
• Faster than growing organically • Acquire innovative technologies become competitors

• Potential loss of IP controls • Challenge of alignment of goals • Shared returns

• IBM • Eli Lilly • Oracle • Procter & Gamble

• Dedicated function for the management of partnerships

Acquisitions

• Risk of overpaying • Cultural integration concerns • Involves relying on others for innovation

• Cisco • General Electric • Pfizer • Microsoft

• Capability to identify and assimilate acquisition targets

THE IO MODEL (1 of 2)
Information Orientation (IO) Measures the capabilities of a company to effectively manage and use information

Information technology practices (ITP) capability The capability of a company to effectively manage appropriate IT applications and infrastructure in support of operational, decision-making and communication processes

Information management practices (IMP) capability The capability of a company to manage information effectively over its life cycle

Information behaviors and values (IBV) capability The capability of a company to instil and promote behaviors and values in its staff for effective use of information Integrity Is an organizational value manifested through individual behavior that is characterized by the absence of manipulating information for personal gains such as knowingly passing on inaccurate information, distributing information to justify decisions after the fact or keeping information to oneself. Good information integrity results in effective sharing of sensitive information

Sensing Involves how information is detected and identified concerning: economic, social and political changes; competitor’ innovations that might impact the business; market shifts and customer demands for new products; and anticipated problems with suppliers and partners

IT for operational support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and technical expertise to control business operations, to ensure that lower-skilled workers perform their responsibilities consistently and with high quality and to improve the efficiency of operations IT for business process support Focuses on the deployment of software, hardware, networks and technical expertise to facilitate the management of business processes and people across functions within the company and externally with suppliers and customers

Collecting Consists of the systematic process of gathering relevant information by profiling information needs of employees; developing filter mechanisms (computerized & non-computerized) to prevent information overload; providing access to existing collective knowledge; and training and rewarding employees for accurately and completely collecting information for which they are responsible

Formality Refers to the degree to which members of an organization use and trust formal sources of information. Depending on the size, virtualness, and geographic dispersion of an organization, this balance shifts towards more formal or informal information behavior Control Is the disclosure of information about business performance to all employees to influence and direct individual and, subsequently, company performance

Ref: Marchand, Kettinger, Rollins

THE IO MODEL (2 of 2)
IT for innovation support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and capabilities that facilitate people’s creativity and that enable the exploration, development and sharing of new ideas. It also includes the hardware and software support to develop and introduce new products and services Organizing Includes indexing, classifying and linking information and databases together to provide access within and across business units and functions; training and rewarding employees for accurately and completely organizing information for which they are responsible Sharing Is the free exchange of non-sensitive and sensitive information. Sharing occurs between individuals in teams, across functional boundaries and across organizational boundaries (I.e. customers, suppliers and partners)

IT for management support Includes the software, hardware, telecommunication networks and capabilities that facilitate executive decision-making. It facilitates monitoring and analysis of internal and external business issues concerning knowledge sharing, market developments, general business situations, market positioning, future market direction and business risk

Processing Into useful knowledge consists of accessing and analyzing appropriate information sources and databases before business decisions are made. Hiring, training, evaluating and rewarding people with analytical skills is essential for processing information into useful knowledge

Information transparency Occurs when an organization’s employees trust each other enough to talk about failures, errors and mistakes in an open and constructive manner and without fear of unfair repercussions

Maintaining Involves reusing existing information to avoid collecting the same information again, updating information databases so that they remain current and refreshing data to ensure that people are using the best information available

Information Proactiveness Occurs when an organization’s staff actively seek out and respond to changes in their competitive environment and think about how to use this information to enhance existing and create new products and services

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL (including the major determinant of each force)
Threat of substitute products or services
(+) By making the overall industry more efficient, the Internet can expand the size of the market () The proliferation if Internet approaches creates new substitution threats

Buyers Bargaining power of suppliers Rivalry among existing competitors
Bargaining power of channels Bargaining power of end users

(+) Procurement using the Internet tends to raise bargaining power over suppliers, though it can also give suppliers access to more customers
(-) The Internet provides a channel for suppliers to reach end users, reducing the leverage of intervening companies (=) Internet procurement and digital markets tend to give all companies equal access to suppliers, and gravitate procurements to standardized products that reduce differentiation () Reduced barriers to entry and the proliferation of competitors downstream shifts power to suppliers

() Reduces differences among competitors as offerings are difficult to keep proprietary
(+) Migrates competition to price (-) Widens the geographic market, increasing the number of competitors () Lowers variable cost relative to fixed cost, increasing pressures for price discounting

(+) Eliminates powerful channels or improves bargaining power over traditional channels

() Shifts bargaining power to end consumers (-) Reduces switching costs

() Reduces barriers to entry such as the need for a sales force, access to channels, and physical assets, anything that Internet technology eliminates or makes easier to do reduces barriers to entry

(-) Internet applications are difficult to keep proprietary from new entrants

Barriers to entry

() A flood of new entrants has come into many industries

FIVE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP
5 PERSONHOOD Respect People follow because of who you are and what you represent 4 PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT Reproduction People follow because of what you have done for them 3 NOTE: This is where long range growth occurs. Your commitment to developing leaders will insure ongoing growth to the organization and to people. Do whatever you can to achieve and stay on this level NOTE: This is where success is sensed by most people. They like you and what you are doing. Problems are fixed with very little effort because of momentum. NOTE: This step is reserved for leaders who have spent years growing people and organizations. Few make it. Those who do are bigger than life.

PRODUCTION
Results People follow because of what 2 PERMISSION Relationships People follow because they want to 1 POSITION Rights People follow because you have done for the organization

NOTE: People will follow you beyond your stated authority. This level allows work to be fun. Caution: Staying too long on this level without rising will cause highly motivated people to become restless.

NOTE: Your influence will not exceed beyond the lines of your job description.

Choosing a Loyalty Strategy
Butterflies
High Profitability
• good fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • high profit potential Actions: • aim to achieve transactional satisfaction, not attitudinal loyalty • milk the accounts only as long as there are active •Key challenge is to cease investing soon enough True friends

• good fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs
• highest profit potential Actions: • communicate consistently but not too often • build both attitudinal and behavioral loyalty • delight these customers to nature, defend, and retain them

Barnacles Strangers
Low Profitability
• little fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • lowest profit potential Actions: • make no investment in these relationships • make profit on every transaction • limited fit between company’s offerings and customer’s needs • low profit potential Actions: • measure both the size and share of wallet • if share of wallet is low, focus on up-and cross- selling •If size of wallet is small, impose strict cost controls Short-term Customers

GENERAL STRATEGIC GROUPS
by Henry Mintzberg

• • • • • • • •


• •

Niche Players: highly differentiated, usually by quality or design, with narrow scope core business like the Economist magazine Pioneers: very focused scope, highly innovative designs, first movers as in the origins of Apple computers or certain film companies Local Producers: undifferentiated strategies in particular geographic niches, like the corner gas station or the national post office Dominant firms: “heavy” cost leaders, whether resource producers upstream or mass marketers further down, with wide scope and often vertically integrated, like General motors Me-too firms: like dominant firms but not dominant, with copycat strategies Worldwide replicators: heavy on marketing, producing, and selling in individual markets around the world, according to formula like Coca-Cola or McDonald’s Professionals: providing established professional services to customers, such as consulting, engineering and accounting firms Thin producers: filling huge occasional contracts for customer, usually anywhere in the world, involving extensive design innovation and complex technology, like Boeing and an Airbus Rationalizers: so-called “global firms” that distribute production “mandates” around the world while selling to large segments on a wide geographic basis like an IBM or an IKEA Crystalline diversifiers or network firms: highly diversified, with wide scope and many producers differentiated by design, mostly created through internal development around core competencies, as in 3M Conglomerates: often made up of unrelated diversification by acquisition of dominant firms

Hierarchy of Competencies: What Consumers Are Really Saying About How They Want to Interact with Companies?

Attributes
LEVEL
III.Consumer Seeks the Company (Dominate)

ACCESS
Give me a solution; help me out in a bind

EXPERIENCE
Establish intimacy with me by doing something no one else can. Care about my needs and me.

PRICE
Be my agent; let me trust you to make my purchases

PRODUCT
Inspire me with an assortment or great products I didn’t know about. Be dependable in your selection and in stock position, so I can rely on you when I’m in a bind. Be credible in your product and service offerings.

SERVICE
Customize the product or service to fit my needs.

II.Consumer Prefers the Company (Differentiate)

Make the interaction convenient for me.

Be fair and consistent in your pricing. I’m not necessarily after the lowest price. Keep the prices honest; don’t jack them up or offer big savings when there are none. Be inconsistent, unclear, or misleading in your pricing.

Educate me when I encounter a product or a situation I don’t understand. Accommodate me; bend over backward sometimes to show me you care. Give me an experience I’d just as soon forget; give me a reason to tell my friends and relatives to stay away.

I.Consumer Accepts the Company (Operate at Par)

Make it easy for me to find what I need, get in and out in a hurry.

Respect me; treat me like a human being.

Consumer Underworld

Block my way, hassle me, keep me waiting, make it hard for me to get in and out.

Dehumanize me; disrespect me; ignore my needs

Offer me poor quality merchandise and services that I can’t use.
