Strategic Transformation
Strategic Transformation
In today’s rapidly changing economic and business environment, the traditional sources of competitive advantage such as market position, scale and established brands are diminishing and existing business models are becoming obsolete. This ultimately leads to industry volatility, resulting in the phenomenon of dominant players overtaken by more disruptive companies with innovative business models.
This trend can be clearly observed in the retail industry, where Amazon emerges as the undisputed winner in the US Retail universe, leaving brick-and-mortar retailers to feel the heat. The market capitalization of Amazon, surpasses the combined market value of the six largest traditional retailers combined, including Walmart, Target, Macy’s and Best Buy. This however was not always the case. Just ten years ago, the same six retailers had a combined market value, 20 times higher than Amazon’s market cap.
For your company to continue compete effectively, business as usual with incremental improvements alone will not suffice; you need to transform. A transformation is a significant change in strategy, business model, organization, people and processes. It is not an incremental change, but a radical re-design of your business, enabling achievement of a sustainable step-change improvement in performance and shareholder value.
