It’s frustrating to see the widespread misuse of business terminology in the corporate world. Terms such as strategy, positioning, and vision are frequently interchanged or confused. Today, I’ll clarify these terms, discussing when and how to use them. I’ll share with you:
• The difference between strategy, vision, and positioning
• Pitching to investors vs. pitching to potential customers
• The importance of adapting positioning
• An explanation of Geoffrey Moore’s “bowling pin” strategy
• Examples of implementing the “bowling pin” strategy earlier in my career
• Why you don’t need a story for your strategy
• The importance of having a shared vocabulary within your organization
Thanks for listening!
