Companies that master both capability and time-based competition claim the profitability and customer mindshare positions in their industries. Everyone competes based on structural capabilities. Leading companies also compete with a time driven urgency that permeates all aspect of their cultures. Time focused competition is not only a broad business strategy, but it can also be a huge competitive advantage as a distinct operational lever for reshaping execution and policies.
A company out competes others by developing superior insight into what customers value and by building an organization to deliver this value. Exploiting and continually adjusting operational space-time configurations is a fundamental and frequently overlooked source of competitive advantage. Even for companies that view themselves as effective time-based competitors, there is much room for improvement. This is readily apparent when you develop deep insight into the dynamics and financial influencers within your processes.
