Thanks Dyna. While this talks about how to move up to the productivity frontier (akin to efficient frontier per Markowitz in investments) through reinforcement and fit across business activities, it is still in the domain of operational effectiveness ONCE the activities have been chosen. Now, what activities to choose today and what activities will be needed in future and to position oneself that those activities could be undertaken optimally when future does arrive are all in the domain of strategy. The latter is much harder and cannot be copied or stolen overnight by stealing best practices or hiring consultants.

This is where I see DNotes shining as well, as evidenced by its strategic choices and building blocks.
