Porter's outside-in and Hammel - Prahald's Inside-out

Over the years inspiration and motivation to out do something which creates spark in the
genre of concurrent times is always been challenge for all of us, to make things happen requires a plan, an out of the box solution to rationalize its existence.

More often than not inspiration are unknown to us, which may leads to different scenarios of multiple ways of looking at things differently and indifferently also, anyways there are always n-1 degrees of freedom to think differently for n+1 different ways looking at things.

Inspired by a spiral which is coincidentally a galaxy in our spatial system gives us views like --if one start from a point from outer end to reach at center, will reach from outside-in and if one starts from the center and circle outwards move than that will be inside-out thinking. So again its up to individuals, which way move. Traveling by we see stars and other objects binding each other with gravitational forces.

One of the many management strategy framework, Porter has given a outside-in approach for the organization strategy framework working towards corporates success or may be applicable to many scenarios. In which he suggest about forces influencing from outside and to investigate those scenario.

On the other side Prahalad and Hamel has proposed theory of inside-out approach gives us a core competences of the organization to utilize and plan many outcomes.

Taking a balance view of the approach gives us the suitability of the application for best fit solution. While in modern times we have techniques like six thinking hats by Dr. De Bono suggest us to wear different strategy hats for different scenario to make decisions, formulating strategy.
