Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works A. G. Lafley

This book was written by A.G. Lafley, a former CEO in P&G.

  1. One final consideration for where to play is the competitive set. Just as it does when it defines winning aspirations, a company should make its where-to-play choices with the competition firmly in mind. Choosing a playing field identical to a strong competitor's can be a less attractive proposition than tacking away to compete in a different way, for different customers, or in different product lines. But strategy isn't simply a matter of finding a distinctive path. A company may choose to play in a crowded field or in one with a dominant competitor if the company can bring new and distinctive value. In such a case, winning may mean targeting the lead competitor right away or going after weaker competitors first.
  2. Where to play and how to win are not independent variables. The best strategies have mutually reinforcing choices at their heart. As a result, it is not a matter of choosing where to play and then how to win and them moving on. These two choices are intertwined and should be considered together.
