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:
- Discover Unique Activities™ using the Unique Activity Formulator™ and Unique Activity Generator™ tools.
- Compile those Unique Activities™ into a Strategy Stack™ (a combination of Unique Activities that makes your offering valuable and tailored to specific needs and consumer groups).
- Tweak your Unique Activities with the Unique Activity Optimizer™ tool to make them even harder to imitate.
Build Your Own Strategy Stack™
Having discovered, compiled and tweaked you Unique Activities, your team will complete a Strategy Stack™ worksheet by following a guided process:
- 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
Learning Outcome
By the end of the Strategy Stack™ sessions, participants walk away with:
- 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
