Business Unit Strategy

Today’s business unit leaders are addressing four strategic opportunities:  1) Where do we play?  2) Where should we play?  3) What is our ambition? and,  4) How do we create value, internally (e.g., corporately, employees, etc.) and externally (e.g., consumers, customers, suppliers, etc.)?

Leading companies are successfully addressing these opportunities, while determining the appropriate balance of business unit self-sufficiency and corporate interdependency, through a highly effective business unit planning processes.
