2. A wake up Call!!!!  Between 1975 and 1995, 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies were replaced on the list.  Markets are opening  Competitors are agile  Competitors can pick and choose where to compete  In 10 years time will your market place still be populated by the same dominant industry players???? 2

3. The Lessons we all need to learn  Industries and companies continuously rise and fall.  Therefore, there are no permanently great industries or companies  Instead, there are strategic moves that propel companies and continuously create new industries.  Example: Nokia  137 year old company, leading mobile manufacturer with USD 31 Billion in sales in 130 countries  Has practiced renewal for a lifetime, starting out making paper, then boots, rain coats, hunting rifles, consumer electronics and now mobile phones. 3

4. Staying at the top is not about having a great new technology to deploy  In strategy formation, innovation is often equated with technology requiring sizable development and investment.  In contrast, Value Inn0vation aims to substantially raise the value proposition towards customers (Hence “Innovation in Value”).  The question is: “How can we best identify and serve their overall needs and offer them unparalleled value?”  Example: IBM  Between 1991-1993, $16B in losses  In ‘93 first non-IT CEO switches co. focus from ‘technology driven’ to ‘customer solutions driven’, creating new “Global Services Group”  By 2001 the Global Services Group represents $35B of $86B in total sales. 4

5. When should a company consider using value innovation  Highly competitive industry  Few differentiators  Low entry barriers  Downward margin pressures  Limited opportunity for new customers  Struggling to compete  Leadership position stagnant  Forced into acquisition model to sustain growth expectations. 5

7. How Commerce Bank changed the paradigm Key Elements of Product, Service and Delivery 7

9. Comparing Conventional Thinking with Value Innovation approaches Conventional Value Innovation Industry Industry conditions are given Industry conditions can be shaped Assumption Strategic Build competitive advantages to beat Create a quantum leap in buyer value Focus the competition to dominate the market Customer Retain and expand the customer Go for the mass of buyers and base through further segmentation willingly let some existing customers and customisation. go.

10. What are the characteristics of Blue and Red Oceans  Market space is in existence today  Untapped Markets  Boundaries are defined  Products / Services not in existence  Competitive rules are known  Demand is yet to be created  Companies compete fiercely  Non-customers  Market space (Ocean) is crowded  Opportunity to earn high profits  Market share / profit share  No competition  Competition is cut –throat  Market space (ocean) ‘bloody’ 10

11. Value Innovation encourages organisations to seek strategies in ‘Blue’ rather than ‘Red’ oceans RED OCEAN STRATEGY BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY Compete in existing market space Create uncontested market space Beat the competition Make the competition irrelevant Exploit existing demand Create and capture demand Make the value cost trade-off Break the value-cost trade off Align the whole system of a firm’s Align the whole system of a firm’s activities with its strategic choice of activities in pursuit of differentiation differentiation and low cost. 11

19. Steps in Value Innovation  Drawing the existing Value Curve  Creating a new ‘Value Curve’ (‘to-be’) that fundamentally differentiates your offering  In creating our ‘to-be’ value curves we seek to address four elements – eliminate, reduce, raise, create.  This allows us to address the leap in value at the same time as reducing the cost structure PUSHING FOR A QUANTUN LEAP IN BUYER VALUE WHILE: PUSHING FOR A SHARP DROP IN THE INDUSTRY COST STRUCTURE 19

22. The Four steps of Value innovation 1 VISUAL AWAKENING  Compare your “as is” strategy canvas with your ‘competitors’  See where your strategy needs to change 2 VISUAL EXPLORATION  Go into the field to see how people use or not use your products  Discover adoption hurdles and advantages of alternative offerings 3  Review both customers and non-customers VISUAL STRATEGY FAIR  Draw several “to be” strategy canvases based on field insights  Get feedback form customers, lost customers, competitors’ 4 customers and non-customers to build best “to be” strategy. VISUAL COMMUNICATION  Distribute old and new strategic profiles  Support only initiatives that meet new strategic needs 22
