"Blue Ocean" Strategy

Companies have long engaged in head-to-head competition and battled over market share, leading to little more than incremental differentiation. And in today's overcrowded industries and global economic uncertainty, competing head-on results in nothing but a bloody "red ocean" of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Luckily, there is an alternative: Blue Ocean Strategy is considered the most influential new concept in management, and challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic business success.
Since publication in March 2005, the book of the same name has been translated into 40+ languages, shattering the all-time record for the most widely translated book by Harvard Business School Press. It is a worldwide best seller, and the term "Blue Ocean" has become part of business vocabulary to label high-impact and successful strategic moves.
Content of keynote presentation (60-75 minutes):
The practical application of Blue Ocean Strategy.
The core logic and mindset behind creating blue oceans and defying conventional wisdom.
Using a provocative combination of examples and anecdotes, the presentation brings to life the visual framework of Blue Ocean Strategy and Value Innovation (Strategy Canvas, Value Curves, Six Paths and Four Actions).
Participants take away the foundation for discovering their own blue ocean of uncontested market space, breakthrough value for customers, strong profitability and high staff motivation.

SLINGSHOT

What if you could reignite your childhood creativity in a systematic way, to overstep self-imposed limitations and to discover what you are really capable of achieving?

Continuous innovation is both necessary and exhilarating, and we all possess the inner capacity for it. Our capacity has simply been buried and lays dormant within us. As children, our imagination knew no boundaries. We would grab a slingshot and be instantly transformed into a warrior, a spy, a huntress, or protector of treasure. But as we grew older, our intellectual comfort zone shifted from that of continuous exploration and inquisitiveness to that of conformity with accepted norms of perception. All is not lost, however. We just need the right framework to re-engage our youthful creativity and re-imagine boundaries: THE SLINGSHOT FRAMEWORK.
