Core Competence Analysis is the process of identifying your company’s core competencies in order to develop strategies that lead to increased market share and innovation. It is necessary to be intentional and thorough to arrive at a clear understanding of what your company’s core competencies are, which provides a foundation for strategic decision making. A company’s strategic endeavors should all stem from leveraging its core competencies to deliver ever greater value for its customers. Core competencies guide the organization’s ability to make sound choices when it comes to partnerships, outsourcing, recruiting, technology, marketing, or other types of investments, all of which should work in harmony to continuously strengthen and further imbed the core competencies across the company. As a company’s core competence builds, so does the opportunity to leverage itself into new and emerging markets and to generate new products, services, business models and disruptive innovations.
