The document discusses an ambition-based strategy approach to organizational growth. It advocates envisioning a compelling future state, energizing the organization, creating support structures, and maintaining end game discipline to execute the strategy. The approach relies on visualizing a desirable future rather than extrapolating from the present. It takes a non-conventional view and is not limited by current capabilities. Contact Harsh Muthal to learn more about strategy development and implementation using this ambition-based approach.

- 4. Strategic Alternatives ………1 There are two distinct ways to look at the future of a Firm • 1. Condition Driven Strategy – Based on extrapolating the present to the future. Corporate strategists analyze the present and the past to create a road-map for the future – This approach is conditioned by the limitations of conventional wisdom and past successes or failures • 2. Ambition Driven Strategy – Based on the ability to create a compelling vision of a desirable future state as already achieved, and use the strategy road map as a path to connect the already accomplished future to the present – This approach is based on non-conventional thinking. It takes a fresh look at the opportunity space and is not bound by current capabilities – This approach relies on turning the traditional strategy mandate into an ambition to do the very best at all levels within the organization Harsh Muthal 4 Confidential & Proprietary
