= Value Chain Strategy =

Value Chain Strategy was first introduced in 2020 by Markus Leonard, The Strateva Group, LLC. The timing of Value Chain Strategy’s introduction coincided with the global Coronavirus pandemic. Companies worldwide had to adapt to a novel way of doing business quickly and realized that their agility level was lacking. Those companies had strategies, but they weren’t able to execute upon them.

Value Chain Strategy is not intended to replace a company’s primary strategy. Instead, Value Chain Strategy is designed to use as a framework to assess the viability of a company’s strategy before execution. Value Chain Strategy is also intended to serve as a bridge between strategy and operations.

Major Components
There are two significant components of Value Chain Strategy:  Alignment Components, Major Competencies.

By taking a process-oriented view of strategy execution, alignment is essential. Value Chain Strategy focuses upon the following areas where alignment is critical for strategy execution:  Culture, Strategy, Operating Model, Enterprise Architecture, and Technical Architecture.

The second component are the major competencies. These competencies are the essential capabilities to turn strategy into reality. They include Program/Project Management, Resource Management, Automation/Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, and Communications Planning.
