Value Innovation

The value innovation concept provides a relevant support for questioning product/market strategies as well as underlying assumptions.

Why do some companies achieve sustained high growth in both revenues and profits?

The less successful companies take a conventional approach: their strategic thinking is dominated by the idea of staying ahead of the competition. In stark contrast, market leaders pay little attention to matching or beating their rivals. Instead, they seek to make their competitors irrelevant through a strategic logic called value innovation... More

Customers for Life

By: Brian Tracy

The purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer.

The two most important words to keep in mind in developing a successful customer base are Positioning and Differentiation.

Differentiation refers to your ability to separate yourself and your product or service from that of your competitors. And it is the key to building and maintaining a competitive advantage.

This is the advantage that you and your company have over your competitors in the same marketplace – the unique and special benefits that no one else can give your customer... More

The Art of Innovation: 9 Truths

By: Guy Kawasaki

 
  • Never ask people to do what you wouldn't do. This is a great test for any company. Suppose a company invents the world's greatest mousetrap. It murders mice better than anything in the history of mankind – in fact, it's nuclear powered. The problem is that the customer needs a PhD to set it, it costs $500,000, and has to drop off the dead, radioactive mouse 500 miles away in the middle of the desert. No one at the company would jump through those hoops – it shouldn't expect customers to either... More

 Jokes  GM vs Microsoft

At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: "If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

---------------

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following 13 characteristics:

  1. For no reason at all, your car would crash twice a day.

  2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.

  3. Occasionally, executing a manoeuver such as a left-turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the engine... More

Top 7 Principles For Transforming Your Business From Mediocre To Great

Know Your Compelling "Why." Viktor Frankl, the great Austrian psychiatrist, said it best: "Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue ... as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself." For what "transcendent" purpose does your business exist? How does your business make a difference in your customers' lives?... More
