"All things to all people" is not a new statement by any stretch. There is nothing groundbreaking about it. However, this concept seems to take over business strategy and is the enemy to success.
Ray, our second fruit stand owner, seems to have put together a solid business. He focuses on many good things, and at a glance we are tempted to agree he is on the right track. However, if you look at the components of value we outlined in our previous posting, you will see he is spreading his approach too thin. He is attempting to try to deliver differentiated value in multiple areas such as low price, product leadership, intimate service, etc. This is a losing game that will result in a net loss business model.
Redesign your business to deliver focused value to select customers.
