Summit OS®

Strategy Stack™

Build a strategy your competitors can’t easily copy—by compiling your company’s Unique Activities™ into a single, interconnected Strategy Stack.

What Is a Strategy Stack?

The Strategy Stack is an educational, facilitator-led strategy exercise that teaches leaders how to make strategic positioning sustainable by delivering it through a system of interconnected, differentiating activities—not slogans. If you’re not seen as different, you’re actually the same.

A strategy underpinned by a unique collection of activities is hard to copy. This “stack” of differentiated activities is what Summit OS® / Strategy OS® calls your Strategy Stack.

How the Service Works

During a series of guided Strategy Stack sessions, participants learn how to:

  1. Discover Unique Activities using the Unique Activity Formulator™ and Unique Activity Generator™ tools.
  2. Compile those Unique Activities into a Strategy Stack.
  3. Tweak your Unique Activities with the Unique Activity Optimizer™ tool to make them even harder to imitate.

    Build Your Own Strategy Stack

    • Add the Unique Activities you identified into the puzzle pieces.
    • Evaluate how unique the activities are compared to competitors—and refine where needed to increase differentiation.

    What You’ll Learn

    • A clear, documented Strategy Stack of Unique Activities.
    • Shared leadership alignment on “how we win” and generate higher profit margins than competitors in a way that is hard to emulate.
    • Practical next steps to strengthen or expand your Unique Activities.
