"I cannot manage the past. There are other people in my government who manage the present. It is my unique responsibility as the leader to shine a spotlight on the future, and marshall the support of my countrymen to create that future." – MARGARET THATCHER
As businesses in technology-driven markets become more competitive, they will need more than management control systems and cost cutting skills to deliver a consistent bottom line. Future business leaders will need to have strategy innovation as a corporate competence to expand and create markets, driving revenue growth.
Strategy innovation will be driven by the company's desire to offer their customers greater value, keeping them one step ahead of current and future competition, or on a different playing field entirely.
These leading companies of the future will focus on, and be influenced by, their customer's current and emerging needs.
These companies will be diligent, proactive custodians of their future frontiers, constantly exploring for their proprietary and profitable futures.
Successful strategy innovation begins with a commitment to make your company more vital, more proactive, and more prosperous in the future than it is today.
