Executive summary

VRIO tests whether a resource or capability is a source of sustained competitive advantage by asking if it is Valuable, Rare, costly to Imitate, and Organised to capture value. This is the VRIO Framework from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for VRIO, and it walks through everything from identifying resources and capabilities to the organisation test. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
