1. For your case study company, select the appropriate factors that define FP, CP, SP, and IP.
2. Assign a numerical value ranging from +1 (worst) to +7 (best) to each of the selected FP and IP factors.
3. Assign a numerical value ranging from -1 (best) to -7 (worst) to each of the selected SP and CP factors.
On the internal FP and CP axes, make comparisons to competitors (same industry).
On the external SP and IP axes, make comparisons to other industries.
On the SP axis, know that a -7 denotes highly unstable industry conditions, whereas a -1 denotes highly stable conditions.
4. Compute the average score for FP, CP, IP, and SP. For example, if the FP axis had 5 selected factors, sum the 5 assigned values and divide by 5.
5. Plot the resulting 4 average scores for FP, IP, SP, and CP on the appropriate axis in the SPACE matrix.
6. Add the two average scores on the x-axis and plot the resulting point on X.
7. Add the two average scores on the y-axis and plot the resulting point on Y.
8. Plot the intersection of the new (x, y) coordinates.
9. Draw a directional vector from the origin of the SPACE matrix (0,0) through the new (x, y) coordinate.
This vector, located in one of the four matrix quadrants, reveals the particular strategy types the organization should select from to formulate the right strategy statements.
