Understand Investigate Investigative Approach Analysis "Whenever we have a problem store, we almost always find either an inexperienced store manager or inexperienced baristas. Manager stability is key - it not only decreases partner turnover, but it also enables the store to do a much better job recognizing regular customers and providing personalized services. So our goal is to make the position a lifetime job.“ Findings Financials Summary Recommendations Timeline

Understand Investigate Summary Analysis Findings Former Positioning • Starbucks competitive positioning focused on its Value Proposition of highest quality coffee, customer intimacy service and ambient lounging environment. Starbucks was the “third place” separate from home and work. Re-evaluated Positioning • Due to the dramatic expansion of the customer base, Starbucks needs to re-evaluate its positioning to focus on the more important of the three aspects: highest quality coffee. In addition to highest quality coffee, the new target market seeks new technology, a meeting place, and a place to study. There is an added emphasis on quick and accurate service versus intimacy and an ambient lounging environment. Financials Summary Recommendations Timeline
