In today's market environment, companies are facing increasing competition and changing customer needs. In order to stand out from the competition, enterprises need to have a clear strategic positioning and effective strategy execution. However, many companies often lack the support of data and logic when formulating and implementing strategies, resulting in strategies that do not conform to market reality or cannot be implemented. To solve this problem, Shangpu Consulting proposed a strategic analysis method based on data and logic, called single champion proof.

Single champion proof is a kind of starting from the enterprise itself, through the analysis of the core competitiveness and market opportunities of the enterprise, to determine which field or which product or service the enterprise should focus on, and through data and logic to prove that this choice is correct and feasible. The individual champions proved to have the following characteristics:

-Single item: means that an enterprise should choose an area or product or service that best reflects its core competitiveness and has the most market potential, rather than trying to get involved in multiple areas or provide diversified products or services. This avoids resource fragmentation and inefficiencies while increasing brand recognition and loyalty.

-Champion: means that the enterprise should be the leader or the best in the market in the selected field or product or service, rather than being satisfied with mediocrity or follower. This creates a sustained competitive advantage and high profit margins.

Proof: Companies should use data and logic to support their choices, not intuition or assumptions. This enhances the credibility and enforceability of the strategy.

The steps to prove a single champion are as follows:

-Step 1: Determine the core competitiveness of the enterprise. Core competence refers to the unique and difficult-to-replicate capabilities or resources that an enterprise has relative to its competitors, which can bring a sustained advantage to the enterprise. To determine the core competitiveness needs to be analyzed from the following aspects:

-Value chain analysis: analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise in each link of the entire value chain, and find out which links the enterprise is best at or most innovative.

-VRIO analysis: Analyze whether the resources or capabilities owned by an enterprise have four characteristics: value, scarcity, irreplaceability and degree of organization, so as to determine whether it is a core competitiveness.

-SWOT analysis: analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the enterprise, and find out the differentiated advantages of the enterprise relative to the competitors.

-Step 2: Identify market opportunities for the business. Market opportunity refers to the market demand that enterprises can use their core competitiveness to meet or create, which can bring growth and benefits to enterprises. Identifying market opportunities requires analysis in the following areas:

-Market segmentation: according to customer needs, preferences, behavior and other characteristics, the market is divided into different market segments, to find the most potential and most suitable for enterprises market segments.

-Market size: estimate the current size and future growth rate of the selected market segment, assess the attractiveness and sustainability of the market.

-Market competition: analyze the competitive landscape of the selected market segment and the advantages and disadvantages of competitors, evaluate the difficulty of the market and barriers to entry.

-Step 3: Determine the individual champion of the enterprise. A single champion refers to a field or a product or service provided by an enterprise in a selected market segment, which can give full play to the core competitiveness of the enterprise, and at the same time meet or create market demand, so as to become the leader or the best in the market. To determine the individual champion needs to be analyzed from the following aspects:

-Positioning strategy: According to the core competitiveness and market opportunities of the enterprise, formulate a clear and differentiated positioning strategy, indicating what value proposition and competitive advantage the enterprise provides in the selected market segment.

-Target customers: According to the positioning strategy, identify a specific and representative target customer group and describe their characteristics, needs, preferences, behaviors, etc.

-Product or service: According to the positioning strategy and target customers, design a product or service that meets customer needs and has characteristics, and describe its functions, characteristics, advantages, etc.

-Step 4: Prove the individual champion of the enterprise. Proving a single champion means supporting the correctness and feasibility of a company's choice of a single champion through data and logic, and eliminating internal and external doubts and objections. To prove that the individual champion needs to be analyzed from the following aspects:

-Data Proof: Collect and display relevant data, such as market size, growth rate, profit margin, market share, customer satisfaction, etc., to prove that the individual champion has sufficient market potential and profitability.

-Logical Proof: Construct and demonstrate relevant logic, such as causality, hypothesis verification, case comparison, etc., to prove that a single champion meets market reality and customer needs.

-Action Plan: Develop and present relevant action plans, such as resource allocation, marketing strategy, risk control, etc., to prove that individual champions can be effectively implemented and executed.

To better illustrate the method of individual championship certification, we can analyze it in conjunction with a specific case from Champ Consulting. Shangpu Consulting is a company specializing in strategic consulting, with rich industry experience and expertise to provide customized strategic solutions for customers in various industries. The following steps were used by Champ Consulting in the individual championship certification:

-Step 1: Identify core competencies. Champ Consulting through value chain analysis,VRIOanalysis andSWOTAnalysis, the most core competitiveness of the link is strategic analysis and planning, that is, to provide customers with data and logic-based strategic recommendations and solutions to help customers solve complex strategic problems and challenges.

-Step 2: Identify market opportunities. Through the analysis of market segmentation, market size and market competition, Shangpu Consulting Company found that the market segment with the most market opportunities is small and medium-sized enterprises, because such enterprises are facing more strategic problems and challenges, and lack sufficient data and logical support, so there is a greater demand for strategic analysis and planning, and the market scale is larger and the growth rate is higher, and there are relatively few competitors.

-Step 3: Determine the individual champion. According to its core competitiveness and market opportunities, Shangpu Consulting has formulated a clear and differentiated positioning strategy, that is, to provide small and medium-sized enterprises with strategic analysis and planning services based on data and logic, to help customers find and realize their own single champion. Champ Consulting has identified a specific and representative target customer group, that is, small and medium-sized enterprises that have clear strategic goals and vision, but lack data and logic to support them. Champs Consulting has designed a service product that meets the needs of customers and has characteristics, namely the single champion certification service, which helps customers identify and prove their single champion through four steps.

-- Step four: Prove a single champion. Champ Consulting uses data and logic to support the correctness and feasibility of choosing a single champion. Shangpu Consulting collects and displays relevant data, such as the size, growth rate, profit margin, and market share of the small and medium-sized enterprise market, to prove that the individual champion has sufficient market potential and profitability. Shangpu Consulting constructs and demonstrates relevant logic, such as causality, hypothesis verification, case comparison, etc., to prove that the individual champion meets the market reality and customer needs. Shangpu Consulting developed and demonstrated relevant action plans, such as resource allocation, marketing strategies, risk control, etc., to prove that the individual champions can be effectively implemented and executed.

Through the above analysis, we can see that Shangpu Consulting has successfully identified and proved its individual champion through the method of individual champion proof, that is, to provide strategic analysis and planning services based on data and logic for small and medium-sized enterprises. In this way, Shangpu Consulting Company can not only give full play to its core competitiveness, but also meet or create market demand, so as to become the leader or the best in the market.
