Business and Technology Strategy
Challenges:

The Telecom sector is one of constant change. The continual introduction of additional MNOs and more frequently MVNOs into already well served markets creates constant challenges to operators from all directions, products and services, technology, customer service, and costs. There are also challenges and opportunities from existing and new OTT services that need to be supported in such a way as to benefit the business.

In today’s market place a business has to develop a robust strategy that works top to bottom in the organization if it is to survive and prosper. Possible strategies might include ‘Cost Leadership’, ‘Differentiator’ or ‘Focus’, these, and others, need to be carefully considered based on the unique set of circumstances of each operator. A business may chose to adopt a specific strategy, or may even adopt more than one so as to appeal to different demographics, but it is critical that the chosen strategy is based on accurate information, that it is well thought out and well communicated. The strategy also needs to be understood, relevant and supported by the various teams and proactively adopted by all areas of the business.
