Competitive Strategies
Look At Your Company From Outside-In
As Well As Inside-Out
By: Masaaki Imai
What
is Value Innovation?
The value innovation concept provides a relevant support for
questioning product/market strategies as well as underlying assumptions.
You
must examine radically what constitutes real value for customers by
asking fundamental questions: what value offering need to be introduced or
increased to meet customer needs? what value offerings can be reduced or
eliminated, because they do not constitute real value for customers?
Why
Value Innovation?
Why do some companies achieve sustained high growth in both
revenues and profits? In a five-year study of high-growth companies and
their less successful competitors, researches3 found that the
answer lies in the way each group approach
strategy.
The difference in approach was not a matter of managers choosing one
analytical tool or planning model over another. The difference was in the
companies' fundamental, implicit assumptions about strategy. The less
successful companies took a conventional approach: their
strategic thinking was
dominated by the idea of
staying ahead of the competition. In stark contrast, the
high-growth companies paid
little attention to matching or beating their rivals. Instead, they sought
to make their competitors irrelevant through a strategic logic called
value innovation.

constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead

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...
