At the end
of the day, to be innovative all you have to do is think about the world
differently. But you can’t run a business on thinking alone; you need to create
a strategic plan so that your future vision becomes a set of reachable opportunities.
Your strategy has to be unique to you. One way to test this is to get a copy of
your strategy and replace your company name with your competitors – does the
strategy still make sense? If your answer is ‘yes’ then you don’t have an
exclusive strategy.
