7 Powers

7 Powers breaks new ground in strategy construction and offers a comprehensive set of tools for business-owners who wish to apply the power principles to their businesses. Drawing on his decades of experience as a business strategy advisor, active equity investor, and Stanford University teacher, Hamilton Helmer proposes a new theory of strategy that is based on the notion of power—those conditions which create the potential for persistent differential returns. Using rich real-world examples, Helmer rigorously characterizes exactly what your business must achieve to create power. And create power it must, for without it your business is at risk. He explains why innovation always comes first and then develops the Power Progression to enable you to target when your power must be established: in the origination, take-off, or stability phases of your business.
