Based on the report, Deloitte found outstanding winners in the ecosystem who focused on three dominant business models: Operational Excellence, Brand Leadership, and Customer Solutions. Each business model focuses differently on key strategies, operations, and KPIs (See Figure 1 via Deloitte). Exceptional winners clearly understand how they create and deliver value, a clear business strategy, and deliver exceptional customer solutions. They have figured out what they\u2019re really good at and have configured their model accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>There are four themes that set Exceptional Winners apart from their peers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>They focus on what they do best by constructing a coherent business and operating model\u2014 Deloitte calls this the Business Model Coherence Premium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>They drive value from one of three business model types\u2014Operational Excellence, Product\/Brand Leadership, or Customer Solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>They develop a set of essential and specific capabilities that work together as part of a self-reinforcing business model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>They drive greater maturity into the distinctive capabilities than their peers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Digital Transformation With Salesforce<\/h3>\n<p>Innovating your business model to remain competitive in today\u2019s market is required to stay in business.
