The old customary procedure of strategy development has a pure and sound logic. It has been designed in order to answer the question: What is it that we should do in order to achieve our goals?
The process essentially involves three stages:
1. Where are we now?
2. Where do we want to be?
3. How are we to get there?
This process is based on Gap Analysis. Supposedly, the competitor who will manage to execute it better and wiser (and will also carry out the strategy with consistence and persistence) will be the one who achieves the competitive advantage over the rest of the market.
I claim that this time honored process is no longer adequate. |

whether intended or by fate. Finding a lucrative opportunity to
buy a business that is for sale because of an unexpected
catastrophic event requires a disciplined approach. As a business buyer, you often need to use “creative” means to
position yourself to get the first, if not the only, shot at a
promising business acquisition candidate. |

Have you been to one of those presentations where the speaker babbles on for 20 minutes and you haven’t a clue what he was meaning to say?
At the end of it we are not educated or motivated; we are in fact just purely confused as to why we had to listen to the speech, while our work piled up in our absence!
