How strategy creates value: The four foundations that drive long-term performance

When markets, technology, and geopolitics become increasingly complex, the fundamentals of strategy and value creation become even more important. Our forthcoming book, Strategy and Value, refocuses strategy on the economic disciplines that separate enduring winners from companies chasing short-term metrics: harnessing market attractiveness, building competitive advantage, targeting ROIC and growth, and managing for the long-term. The stakes are significant: only one in five executives currently believes their strategy would pass a rigorous quality test, while the gap between economic-profit winners and losers continues to widen.

“Having alignment around the fundamental signals will help you stay focused on the long term. You need to be grounded in those fundamentals so that, as change comes at you, you can effectively pivot—because pivoting at scale is what’s going to create value, not just reacting.”

Our weekly podcast features exclusive conversations on issues important to CEOs, CFOs, and their teams.
