Core Competency Framework

Your text provides a thorough explanation and effective illustrations of this technique. Be sure to read these materials carefully. The key point that I want to emphasize here is why this technique is meaningful.

The use of a core competency framework for technology strategy development provides a useful view of the business:

• It reinforces the view of technology as a means for adding value.
• As a cross-cutting organizational construct, it encourages the consideration of access to a wide variety of markets.
• For a sustainable competitive advantage, core competencies can be difficult to imitate.
• The framework provides a concrete means for articulating the organization's strategy.
