The Three Pillars of a Winning Strategy Framework
Dr. Marc Sniukas
January 18, 2025
If you want a clear, actionable, winning strategy, you need a proven system to make it happen.

Why do so many strategies fail to deliver? The answer lies in their design. Too often, strategy is treated as an abstract exercise: a lofty vision, a bloated list of initiatives, or an over-engineered plan that gets lost in execution. In reality, a winning strategy requires a solid foundation—one built on clarity, structure, and actionable systems.

Dr. Marc Sniukas
January 11, 2025
Why do up to 90% of strategies fail to deliver results? It’s not what you think.
Let’s face it: most businesses aren’t failing because of a lack of ambition. They’re failing because of a lack of clarity, alignment, and execution. Study after study shows that between 50-90% of strategies either don’t get implemented or fail to achieve their desired outcomes. But why? And more importantly, what can you do to avoid this trap?

Here’s a truth that most leaders don’t want to admit: the problem isn’t execution. It’s the strategy itself.

Business Model Innovation as a Dynamic Capability: Micro-Foundations and Case Studies (Contributions to Management Science)
Springer
July 23, 2021
This study adopts a dynamic capabilities perspective to explore the activities and processes through which business model innovations arise in established organisations. New and innovative business models are fundamental to the commercialisation of the latest technologies, performance, and competitive advantage, as well as value creation for customers, the focal company and its ecosystem. Yet, our current understanding of how established companies design and implement new business models is limited by a lack of empirical research. Based on a review of relevant literature, business model innovation is presented and explored as a dynamic capability.
