See [2] > Also I guess technically you could outsource work which is neither a core competency nor operationally important, but you should probably just not be doing that work at all.
Yeah, this is what footnote 2 was trying to explain.
I was considering marking that quadrant some third color to indicate that you should just not do those things, but thought that would overcomplicate the message of âonly outsource the bottom right quadrantâ. Peterâs comment that this is confusing is helpful feedback that maybe that was the wrong call â thanks!
Whatâs an example of something that is a core competency yet operationally unimportant (the top-left grid)? Iâm starting to think the entire operational importance axis isnât needed.
An example is something like âhaving a CEO who is considered a prestigious thought leader in their field.â The day-to-day operations of the business arenât really impacted by this, but itâs also not something you can really outsource.
(That being said, maybe it would have been a lot simpler and almost as correct to just leave this axis off, like you suggest.)

Ah ok that makes sense
