17. DO STRATEGIES EVER
CHANGE?
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN CHANGING
STRATEGIES & TACTICS
CHANGES RUNS THROUGH ALL THE
SYSTEM, CAUSES TREMORS
CHANGE WHAT YOU MAKE, HOW
YOU SELL, TO WHOM YOU SELL
HARD TO BALANCE CHANGE; REAL
PROBLEMS IF SALES CHANGES &
PRODUCTION DOES NOT

HAVE AT THE SAME TIME
ANY NUMBER SO LONG AS THEY DON’T
CONFLICT.

EXPORT!

28. SUMMING UP 1
THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO A SUCCESSFUL
STRATEGY. RUDYARD KIPLING WROTE
“THERE ARE 9 & 60 WAYS OF
CONSTRUCTING TRIBAL LAYS, & EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT”.
BUT: STRATEGIES MUST BE INTERNALLY
CONSISTENT & NOT CONTRADICTORY;
STRATEGIES MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
THE REALITIES OF PLANT, RAW
MATERIALS, STAFF AND MARKETS; VISION
STATEMENTS WON’T DO.
LGA INC
29. SUMMING UP 2
STRATEGIES MUST NOT SET ONE
GROUP AGAINST ANOTHER
CHANGING STRATEGIES IS
PERILOUS; DON’T DO IT OFTEN
IF/WHEN YOU CHANGE STRATEGIES
MAKE SURE YOU ALSO CHANGE ALL
THE SUPPORTING & RELATED
PROCEDURES
30. SUMMING UP 3
AVOID COOKIE-CUTTER SOLUTIONS: E.G.
PLAN A TO PLAN B OR PLAN B TO PLAN A
NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A
CONTRARIAN
THERE ARE NICHE MARKETS
EVERYWHERE
REMEMBER YOUR CUSTOMERS SURVIVE
ON THEIR CUSTOMERS: LOOK AHEAD
31. MARKETING SUPPORT TAKES
MANY FORMS

TECHNICAL DATA, SOFTWARE,
OTHERS

SPECIFIERS & INFLUENCERS
HELP WITH CUSTOMERS ISSUES IF
YOU CAN
A MANAGEMENT PRESENCE
FAIR CLAIMS POLICY

32. EXAMPLES OF STRATEGIES:
INTEGRATED COMPANY
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF DISTRIBUTION? TO
SELL WHAT PRODUCTION MAKES? OR TO MAKE

HAVE SIGNIFICANT DISTRIBUTION
