There's a fundamental distinction between strategy and operational effectiveness.

Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It's not a matter of being better at what you do - it's a matter of being different at what you do.

Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.

Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it's about deliberately choosing to be different.

A strategy delineates a territory in which a company seeks to be unique.

If a strategy meets a goal: It's working. If a strategy meets a target: It's a success.

I love to write humor. If I could make a living doing it that is all I would write. The happiest period of my life is when I was writing the sequels to "MASH". I was able to ridicule everyone.
