We have designed, coordinated and supervised a GAP program in Turkey after 2003. So that we supplied cereal grains, fruits, and vegetables without contaminants and residues according to the EU baby food regulations. We designed, developed and produced many prototypes and commercialized some of them in Turkey and CEEMENA markets. So that we have analyzed, developed and achieved competitiveness in the agrifood value chain. This created quality, profitability, and growth for the farmers, SMEs and the private sector in Turkey.
I know that we have to create systematic and continuous transient competitive advantages. Because, today, we can only create transient competitive advantages. This means that effective leaders can create waves of temporary competitive advantages. In other words, the job of orchestrating how these waves are managed and executed is mostly a crucial job of today’s business owners, CEOs, and leaders. Therefore, we have designed and developed many new products and performed consumer tests before launching.
I like this quote:
“To stay ahead, they need to constantly start new strategic initiatives, building and exploiting many transient competitive advantages at once. Though individually temporary, these advantages, as a portfolio, can keep companies in the lead over the long run.” Rita Gunther McGrath.
