Summary of Corporate Aikido (Robert Pino)
Book Abstract
Aikido is a martial art based around the philosophy of winning without fighting and achieving victory over self-first and foremost. The whole approach of aikido is to apply resources to building your own corporation’s strengths rather than in responding to the competitive actions of other parties.
Corporate aikido takes these principles and applies them to business strategy. In practice, that means:
Creating a powerful vision for your organization.Building and cultivating the inner strength of the organization.Devising marketing plans which make competitor strengths redundant rather than attempting to meet them head on.Finding effective ways to unleash and harness a balance of resources, positioning and purpose.Instead of going to war against competitors, corporate aikido suggests an alternative, potentially more powerful alternative course.

Section 1: Aikido As A Metaphor For a Better Business Management Strategy
The emphasis of corporate aikido is not to beat a competitor but to make their strengths redundant – by changing the rules the business competes on.
Competitive business strategies often use warfare as their prevailing paradigm – treating competitors as the enemy who must be obliterated from the commercial landscape as rapidly and as completely as possible.
In practice, however, marketing wars often impact negatively on profitability – both for winners and losers. Therefore, a smarter, more sustainable approach is to use corporate aikido – where the business strategy focuses not solely on beating a competitor but on finding ways to make their strengths redundant.
How can a competitor’s strengths be made redundant? There are numerous ways to accomplish this, including:
The introduction of a breakthrough service or product concept – which delivers added value to your clients and customers – may have the desired effect. By achieving that, you effectively change the rules of the game by which business is conducted in your field.By focusing even more exclusively on the core ideology of the company – perhaps narrowing the number of customers served but deepening the number of services and products available.By turning attention to improving the organization and the way it responds to customers – effectively using increased competition as a catalyst to improve the company’s own track record.By introducing a new high-end brand into the marketplace, effectively increasing customer expectations and making any new low-end market entrant less appealing.
