Shaping strategy in a world of constant disruption
Redefining the terms of competition for a market sector, an industry, or an entire global ecosystem is a tall order. It means attracting thousands of participants, galvanizing their efforts, and retaining their commitment for the long haul. Hagel, Brown, and Davison, of the Deloitte Center for Edge Innovation, provide a blueprint for this daunting task of shaping strategy as technology-driven infrastructures constantly change. The authors discuss three elements that, no matter the industry, are vital in shaping strategy. A shaping view, or rallying cry to potential participants, clarifies the market opportunity, makes sense of fundamental forces, identifies rewards, and highlights the shared nature of risk. Bill Gates, of course, succeeded with his view of desktop computing, and more recently Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff has held out a new model for delivering enterprise software. A shaping platform, like that of Google's AdSense, clearly defines standards and practices that help organize and support the activities of many participants, enabling them to do more with less. Specific shaping acts and assets convince participants that the shaper has the muscle to pull off its initiatives, as Facebook has done by showcasing its relationship with Microsoft. The three elements together allow a shaper to quickly mobilize a critical mass of participants and, thereby, unleash powerful network effects that can yield big rewards during periods of rapid change. Almost any company will benefit from an attempt to shape strategy, say the authors, but they recognize that not every business is ultimately a shaper. By participating in other firms' shaping strategies, they show, a company can still find plenty of opportunities to create value..Printed journal
