The Essence of Strategy: Choosing Your Path
Strategy is fundamentally about making choices that define your brand's future and its customer base. It involves selecting the right customers and understanding that not every potential consumer aligns with your vision. An illustrative example is David Chang's approach with Momofuku, where he recognized that catering to his customers' specific preferences, even to the point of suggesting they visit a competitor if they desired bacon on their Brussels sprouts, was a strategic choice that solidified his brand identity. By making these choices clear, brands can distinguish themselves and avoid commoditization, aligning their offerings with the values and desires of their chosen audience.
