The main area to focus on is to concentrate on your strength and lessen your weaknesses. On the other hand you want to exploit your opponents weaknesses and diminish their strengths. During the dynamics of a fight ..Even in real life or ina tournament do not get drawn into playing the other guys game -or style if fighting. You want to be able to dictate how the contest is fought and won.Don’t be dictated by your opponents terms. You won’t learn this just by practicing onthe wing chun dummy
For example if your opponent is bigger and has a longer reach, they will generally be slower moving and want to keep you at a distance to be at their most effective. Their reach will keep you at bay and cause the most damage. If you are more swift and proficient close range fighting ( ala wing chun) you want to keep things dynamic and get in close to nullify your opponents reach and cramp them up. Also if your opponent is larger and stronger than you, you do not want to get into a confrontation that involves strength. This is a weakness of yours and a strength of your opponents and falling into this trap you are heading down a path of defeat. This is a key concept of Wing Chun Training
Knowing the your game or strength allows you to develop your own style to focus on your strengths. This whole strategy involves when you are in an exchanging in an altercation with your opponent or even when you are out of range and perhaps being provoked .

Know your territory and pay attention to your surrounding and always focus on maximizing your strengths.
