                                    Annual Conference 2010
Objectives for the session
 Understand the Shipley approach to
  opportunity strategy development
 Coach your colleagues in developing
  practical winning strategies




                  © Shipley Limited 2010
Workshop Agenda

 Why?
 What?
 When?
 How?



              © Shipley Limited 2010
Why do we need…
   A strategy?
       Because answering the question is necessary
        but not sufficient
   An approach to developing strategy?
       Because without an approach we will all revert to type




                             © Shipley Limited 2010
What is a good opportunity strategy?
   Helps the customer to choose us over others
   Maximises our likelihood of winning
   Aligns with business strategy



   Underwritten and believed by all
    those who have to deliver
    on the promises made




                         © Shipley Limited 2010
When strategy goes bad…
   “Let’s really get our message across”
   “Our strategy is to offer a solution which is…”
       Low risk
       Innovative
       Best value
       Best of breed
   “Let’s focus on our differentiators”
