Refer to the example strategies to use (p. 8-9), and formulate a strategy that you plan to use for your company. Consider things like how you might differentiate your company from the others. Decide on the strategy or combination of strategies you want to implement moving forward, and formulate a plan for execution. How will you assess the effectiveness of this strategy? What “turn-back point” might you establish to alert you to when changes to the strategy may be necessary? Keep this strategy in mind when you make your decisions for the upcoming rounds. Keep in mind that a drastic change in strategy may hurt results in the short-term, but this is about the big picture. You want to implement a strategy that will be successful and possible in the long-term.
