We are passionate
about these things
We are
great at
these things
Our
customers
value these
things
Focus independently on these
three questions;
• What are we passionate
about?
• What are we great at?
• What do our customers value
(e.g. what is going to pay for
this stuff)
In the centre of the model you’ll
find the things that will take you
to greatness.
The other zones are things you
need to think about; they are not
core to your success. What will
you do?
