What People are Saying About Blue Ocean Strategy
Project Manager,
Australian Construction Industry
"Blue Ocean Strategy really helped us gather our thoughts and explore new territory. Without the methodology and tools I'm sure we would have missed opportunities with major distribution partners and left ourselves open to replication."
Innovation Manager,
Fortune 500 Insurer
"Working in innovation, I was hopeful but a bit skeptical before going into the process. But Blue Ocean Strategy definitely marries creativity, strategy and change management with product, service and process innovation. We've now embedded it into our global innovation programme. The BOS Australia facilitators are world class."
Retail Manager,
Australian Energy Retailer
"We had a major disruption challenge and we achieved more in our first 2 days using Blue Ocean Strategy, than we did in the previous 12 months of strategic planning and offsites. It's an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable process, that forces you to rethink everything you thought you knew about where your industry, customers and business are heading."
Blue Ocean for Large Businesses
None of us is as smart as all of us!
Find Uncontested Markets
They're being identified and created every day. Uncontested market space is often not as far away from your existing Red Ocean and not as strategically risky as you may first imagine.
You don't need to be first to market ... you need to be first to commercialise the market.
Empower Creativity
Creativity is not artistry. Awaken the creativity you use in your daily work and harness it for innovation and continuous improvement.
Encourage and empower your team by arming them with Blue Ocean Strategy thinking.
