The Problem Behind The Problem
Most organizations are solving the wrong problem.
Organizations rarely lose advantage because they lack effort, talent, or information. More often, they lose it because they are focused on symptoms instead of causes.
Sales problems are often trust problems. Marketing problems are often positioning problems. Execution problems are often clarity problems. Competitive advantage begins when you identify the cause, not the symptom.
