Within the domain of well-defined strategy, there are uniquely different strategy types, here are three:

Business strategy Operational strategy Transformational strategy

It is worth noting, that a common consideration across all different types of strategy are your people, process, and technology. Without this, strategy is a set of lofty ideas, ungrounded in reality unaccompanied by a plan of action Let's look further into each of the three types of strategy that come to mind.

1. Business Strategy: Customer Experience

The first of the three types of strategy is Business Strategy and focuses on how your customer will experience your business. It is primarily concerned with how a company will approach the marketplace - where to play and how to win.

"Where to play" answers questions like:

Which customer segments will we target?

Which geographies will we cover?

What products and services will we bring to market?

How to win answers questions like:

How will we position ourselves against our competitors?

What capabilities will we employ to differentiate us from the competition?

What unique approaches will we apply to create new markets?

Senior managers typically create the business strategy. After it is created, business architects play an important role in clarifying the strategy, creating tighter alignment among different strategies, and communicating the business strategy across and down the organization in a clear and consistent fashion. Executives are just beginning to bring advanced, highly credible business architecture practices and purpose-driven CX design into the strategy discussions early to provide tools, models, and facilitation that enable better strategy development.

2. Operational Strategy: People & Process

The second of the three types of strategy is Operational focused on your people and your processes. It is primarily concerned with accurately translating the customer-centric business strategy into a cohesive and actionable implementation plan.

Operational strategy answers questions like:

Which capabilities need to be created or enhanced?

Which processes need improvement or a complete redesign?

The vast majority of business architects are currently working in the operational strategy domain reaching up into the business strategy domain and communicating with leadership for direction. They work from the middle out to bring clarity and cohesiveness to the organization’s operating model typically working vertically within a single business unit while resolving issues at the business unit boundaries. More mature business architecture practices work cross-functionally and in multiple verticals or move from one vertical to another.

3. Transformational Strategy: Platform Technology

The third of the three types of strategy is Transformational that focuses on how your technology can enable and transform your organization. We aren't talking about automation... we are talking about true digital business model transformation. It is seen less often as it represents the wholesale transformation of an entire business or organization. This type of strategy goes beyond typical business strategy in that it requires radical and highly disruptive changes in people, process, and technology. Transformational strategy is generally the domain of the Project Management Office (PMO), organizational development, and consultants. Few organizations go down this path willingly and with reasonable expectation of the resources it takes. These efforts are incredibly complex and require highly experienced and knowledge technical resources. At Accelare, we called them Platform Design Engineers. There is also significant benefit from applying business architecture discipline though it is rare to see business architects playing a significant role here.

What is the Bottom Line?

Not all strategy work is the same. Each strategy type requires a unique set of skills, resources, varying approaches, and plans to execute that strategy. Leadership and business architects who are successfully delivering in one role should be actively developing the skills they need to move into other strategy domains.
