How to Win: Strategic Options Assessment and Recommendation

1. Introduction Include a brief opening paragraph that summarizes the purpose and key content of this executive brief.

2. Suggested Ranked Moves: The three Game-Winning Moves I considered are in rank order:

· Top-ranked move [ Summarize the best move from Week 6 lecture notes with a few details to explain. For example, if you chose acquisition, who might you buy? If you chose geographic expansion, where would you expand? If you chose discontinuous innovation, what would the innovation be?]

· Second-ranked move [ Summarize your second-best winning move as described above]

· Third-ranked move [ Summarize your third-best winning move as described above]

3. Recommended Move Expand on your top ranked move from the list here. Provide your rationale on why you think it will generate financially attractive growth (including both incremental revenue growth and commensurate incremental profit growth).

4. Alignment Describe how your top-ranked move aligns (or conflicts) with your key strength/weakness identified in your Playing Field template?

5. Required Investments Most moves require investments of resources and money. What are some significant investments that would be required to implement this move? Note, we are not looking for dollar figures; instead, we are looking for the key categories of investments (like hiring people, investing in new capabilities, or building new manufacturing plants, etc.)

6. Risks and Risk Mitigation

Most moves have risks that need to be considered. What are the most significant risks and what is your recommended risk mitigation plan? How do you think the competition will react to your move?

7. Competitive Response

Explain how you think the competition will react to your Move. What counter moves might they make? How much, if any, uncontested space will your move create and for how long?

8. Conclusion

Provide an effective persuasive concluding paragraph that is “fit for use” for a CEO. This summary should assert the recommended Move while simultaneously providing reasonable and fair balance on investments and risks. If this conclusion is excised from the executive brief, it could effectively be used as the elevator pitch for the Move.

9. References

Include in-text citations for all data, assertions, and facts, and a corresponding reference list. Appendices are allowable if additional supplemental information is needed for the brief.
