Blue Ocean Strategy:
Finding Untapped Growth Opportunities
Traditional strategies built around market share rarely lead to dramatic and enduring success. In most industries -probably yours- hard fought gains fade as competitors copy innovations and counterattack with new offers of their own. Such is the way of business.
However, there is a way out of this "red ocean" of competition.
Using cutting edge concepts to drive value innovation and demand creation, your company can chart a course to a "blue ocean" where the competition does not yet exist and your company's distinctive process capabilities deliver value to the customer that would-be competitors cannot easily copy. Learn how to:
- Evaluate your products and services using the red ocean-blue ocean- blue sky (ROBOBS) perspective
- Create a Strategy Canvas to assess your strategic position
- Leverage unique process capability to deliver Value Innovation
- Target non-customers you can attract
- Differentiate between blue ocean and blue sky opportunities
- Convert new ideas into actionable strategic plans
Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne demonstrates a mindset and methodology to "make the competition irrelevant."
