• Tangible assets are the easiest to value, and often are the only resources that appear on a firm’s balance sheet. They include real estate, production facilities, and raw materials, among others. Although tangible resources may be essential to a firm’s strategy, due to their standard nature, they rarely are a source of competitive advantage. There are, of course, notable exceptions.

The Delta Model- An Integrative Strategic FrameworkThe Delta Model- An Integrative Strategic Framework
1. Create a powerful 10x force to change the rules of the game. Reject initiation of competitors, a product-centric mentality,and a commoditization mindset.2. Generate significant barriers around the customers through a unique customer value proposition based on deep customersegmentation, and consumer understanding.3. Do not use competitors as a central benchmark to guide your strategic actions. The key industries to concentrate on arethose of your customers, suppliers, and complementors. Strategy is not war with your competitors; it is love with yourcustomers, suppliers, consumers, and complementors.4. Develop and nurture the integrated value chain with your key suppliers and customer. Bring in all the power of B2B andB2C to accomplish this objective. This is critical for customer lock-in.5. Add a new player: the complementors. Seek complementor support and investment in your business. Make them keypartners in seeking the delivery of Total Customer Solutions. Extend the unique value proposition to includecomplementors, as well as suppliers. This is the key for obtaining complementor lock-in, competitor lock-out, andultimately System Lock-In.6. If your customer, suppliers, and complementors are numerous and fragmented you could also provide them with state-ofthe-art management practices and a wealth of information and intelligence that they could never acquire otherwise. Yourlock-in will be admirably enhanced.
