The fundamental rules of strategy are still in effect.
Most would agree that the best corporate strategy these days is focusing on your core. Problem is, just what is essential in your company may be a matter of opinion. Here's how to separate the essential from the expendable. by Loren Gary Lingering worries about whether the recession is really over have combined with long-term changes in the structure of the economy to confound business leaders. Corporate profits have yet to turn around. "Focusing to grow, paradoxical as it sounds, is often the right thing to do," says Chris Zook, a Boston-based director at the management consulting firm Bain & Co.
Although there's fairly broad agreement about the wisdom of focusing on your core, figuring out what constitutes your core isn't always a simple exercise. To carry out this task, you've got to sift through the past several years of business history, separating what's worth preserving from what needs to be jettisoned. Moving Beyond the Core Business. Chris Zook hit a home run with Profit from the Core.
In an excerpt from his new book, published by Harvard Business School Press, Zook finds opportunity in new directions. by Chris Zook Two years ago, Bain & Company director Chris Zook focused on developing the potential of the core business in his popular book Profit from the Core, coauthored with James Allen. As he writes in his new book, Beyond the Core, "The most successful growth companies used every trick in the book to realize the full potential of their strongest businesses before venturing into potentially greener pastures outside their core.
" As he has learned since the publication of Profit from the Core, venturing into potentially greener pastures—what he calls adjacency moves—present a company with a whole new set of issues concerning investments, timing, competition, and strategy. Strong leaders in robust markets epitomize the epithet of Sun Tzu: "The more opportunities I seize, the more opportunities multiply before me. " Profit from the Core. Lots of companies try too hard to adapt to the latest rules of strategy, according to Chris Zook, a Bain & Company director, and James Allen, CEO of venture capital firm eVolution Global Partners.
What companies should be doing, instead, is charting a course based on an honest assessment of their core business. In this excerpt from their new book, Profit from the Core: Growth Strategy in an Era of Turbulence (HBS Press), they offer tips on how to do exactly that. by Chris Zook and James Allen A key issue for senior executives wrestling with growth problems or frustrations is determining whether the company's strategy is wrong or whether the organization is not able to execute it. Sometimes these problems can coexist and are difficult to separate. In lower-growth markets, the most common problem is excessive mining of the core combined with a failure to see the emerging new landscape and possibilities.

By Michael Beer and Russell A.
Eisenstat Despite widespread rhetoric about the need for organizational agility, an astonishing number of businesses stay stuck in neutral when they need to implement a new strategy. Consider the situation that Lynne Camp faced in July 2000. Camp, the vice president and general manager of Agilent Technologies' Systems Generation and Delivery Unit (SGDU), was charged with creating a single global company from a set of fragmented businesses in Asia, Europe, and the United States. To gain control over product decisions being made by the regional teams she had inherited, Camp and her senior team had originally adopted a functional organization structure. Despite these strengths of the new structure, problems began to emerge. A lack of openness lies behind many failures to implement strategy. In our experience, the challenge Lynne Camp faced—SGDU's collective inability to talk openly about its problems—is common.
