    Business is a lot like Driving….

    Businesses Want to Drive the Autobahn Fast Lane

    Unfortunately…

    Most Businesses are Stuck in Traffic

    There are a Few Options:

  • Drive aggressively (Try to beat competition)
  • Drive on the Shoulder (Cheat)
  • Grin and Bear It (Accept current status quo and do nothing to better the situation)
  • GET A JET

    (Make Competition Irrelevant)

    OR

    Red Ocean vs. Blue Ocean Strategies:

  • Compete in existing space
  • Try to beat competition
  • Exploit only existing demand
  • Trade-offs between value and costs
  • Create uncontested market space
  • Make competition irrelevant
  • Create and retain new demand
  • Reduce cost and raise value at same time
  • A Strategy Canvas lists the building blocks of all competitor's strategies and shows the amount invested in each factor. This provides a clear visual representation of the market and enables companies to create strategies that break the mold and create uncontested market space. This enables companies to catch/create new waves in Blue Oceans instead of merely treading water in Red Oceans.
