Strengthening BAE Systems through leadership alignment
The best performing companies have something in common: Great leadership

BAE Systems has identified the vital knowledge, skills and abilities leaders need in order to
perform against our strategic priorities; these are the global competencies, which serve as
the foundation for developing our leaders

Along with the company values, Operational Framework, and Code of Conduct, the global
competencies describe the leaders’ role in developing a culture of Total Performance

                                                                                                6

What change challenges
   are you facing?

        © James G. Clawson   17
What’s a “strategic change challenge?”

A Strategic Issue is any issue that
significantly influences your ability to
develop and maintain a competitive
advantage.
A Change Challenge is anything that
pressures you to do things differently
individually or collectively.

What’s a COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?
A competitive advantage has three key
   characteristics:
1. it provides superior value to customers
2. it is hard to imitate
3. it enhances one’s ability to respond to
   changes (flexibility) in the environment.
