Some quick "top tip" reminders for ensuring a high quality Strategic House development.
Validate the quality of your 4C's
Strategic Pillars are only as good as the strategic planning templates and outputs that you completed for each of the 4C’s in the previous 4 strategic planning steps. Validate your previous 4C assessment, including any additional knowledge and understanding you may have gained from Discovery meetings with your customer.
Strategic Pillars must be insight based
Use the “Why / Why / Why” question technique to test your strategic pillar headings. Validate that they are insight based and can be supported by at least 3 separate data points from across your 4C factbase.
Allow time for global vs local pillar alignment
Remember: For global customers that Strategic Pillars are often iterated based on top down and bottom-up pillar development. This can take longer, but helps ensure that global and local insights are captured and reflected appropriately in local customer strategic houses.
Align your Strategic House internally & externally
Strategic Houses are typically built in two phases. Firstly as an internally generated House in the Strategic Planning phase –then secondly as a customer aligned and jointly agreed Strategic House during steps 1-3 of the JBP process. Make sure you understand this "two-step" evolution of the Strategic House across both the WCCE phases.

Consider your customer engagement level
Plan to engage at the right level that is realistic from both a PEP & customer perspective: eg consultative (CAP), collaborative (JBP) or partnership (JVC). Align your Discovery approach accordingly - eg at a bronze, silver or gold level. Finally, align your wiring plan to be consistent with the chosen Discovery approach level.
Leverage Discovery to strengthen 4C insights
As part of Discovery meetings, take the opportunity to gap fill vs known “blind spots”in your Strategic Planning 4C steps (using prompted questions / discussion) and vs unknown “blind spots”(using open questions / discussion).
Validate Big Bets vs Strategic Pillars
Use the external customer lens of JBP step 1 and 2 engagement to refine and enhance your Strategic Pillars. Validate your insights and ensure you have a size of prize for each Big Bet (including stress testing & scenario assessment of KPIs). Finalise your Big Bet prioritisation (eg using 4 Box vs 2 axes of strategic relevance vs commercial impact)
Put your finalised Strategic House at the heart of your Growth Summit
After Big Bets alignment you can create the second and final iteration of your Strategic House. The time already invested in making it fact and insight based, internally and externally aligned, and joint scorecard supported will ensure the best possible Growth Summit outcome.
Invest time in your Joint Scorecard
Make sure your scorecard is balanced and aligned vs your Strategic House. Balanced means tracking progress vs each Strategic Pillar (or Big Bet area), setting and reporting on KPIs to measure the key initatives under each pillar (and on key commercial metrics), and highlighting the business support required to achieve success.

Leveraging Advantaged Insights
Advantaged Insights can play a critical role when you're developing the first 4C steps in the Strategic Planning phase of WCCE. Future Channel trends, Outlet Mapping and Menu Pro insights can all add advantaged insight across the 4C steps, as well as add value in later JBP steps.
Leveraging Brand & Design
Solution innovations, POS Toolkits and P2P touchpoint comms will all help when working on the key initiatives under each of your strategic pillars at the end of the Strategic Planning phase. They will also provide key stimulus in customer JBP Discovery and Big Bet meetings.
Leveraging Planet & People
PepsiCo Positive initiatives across Agriculture, Value Chain and D&I can act as key capabilities / enablers at the base of your Strategic House and help differentiate your strategic pillars / big bet discussions with your customer.
Dont' forget...
Integrate Differentiated Enablers at every stage of the WCCE journey with your customer and keep an eye out for new or updated enablers as they become available.
