When I picked up Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, I thought it was going to be all about what the title suggests – developing successful business strategies, (possibly with some kind of nautical theme). It was about strategy. The authors had a lot to say about the process of identifying where your company stands in the market place and how the struggle for customers can leave the waters bloody from cut-throat competition (the red ocean).

At the highest level, there are three propositions essential to the success of strategy: the value proposition, the profit proposition, and the people proposition. For any strategy to be successful and sustainable, an organization must develop an offering that attracts buyers; it must create a business model that enables the company to make money out of its offering; and it must motivate the people working for or with the company to execute the strategy.

There’s a lot out there written about strategy (we’re planning on upcoming series demystifying it). One of the more popular ideas is Blue Ocean Strategy. The concept is simple, rather than define where in the market you want to be (Porter’s model), a corporation seeks a “Blue Ocean” or an uncontested market no one has pursued.

I did not follow the process through for any particular company - rather, I read the book (so likely did not get the same value someone would who actually took the steps and did the exercises) One of my all time favorite books is Blue Ocean Strategy. Find Your Next is the how to guide for Blue Ocean. + I read " Find Your Next " subtitled "Using the Business Genome Approach to Find Your Company's Next Competitive Edge" by Andrea Kates.

That one-two combination goes by other names as well: strategy and culture; impact and engagement. When people talk about change and innovation and “blue ocean strategy,” they’re pointing toward Great Work. It gets trickier when you face up to the fact that that strategy means actually saying no to some of the things you want to say yes to. The following is a guest piece by fellow author (and Canadian) Michael Bungay Stanier. You jest, sir!

Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne popularized the notion of a blue ocean strategy , which focuses on new markets, rather than fighting it out in “red oceans” filled with rabid competition. As MIT professor David Robertson points out , however, the current retail environment is neither a red nor a blue ocean, but more like a dead sea, killing off existing life but providing a new ecosystem in which different organisms can thrive.

Business experts look at what we did and say that Dogfish Head followed a blue ocean strategy. I’ll never forget going onstage at a beer tasting event in 1997. I was in my twenties and pretty nervous. The crowd seemed to really like hearing me talk about pouring pure apricot puree into the barley malt as it fermented to make Aprihop, our apricot-infused ale. But then an older, established brewer at a much bigger company followed me onstage.

What is your strategy? How has that strategy changed over time? How do you make decisions about changing that strategy? That’s a serious problem, since the process for making strategic decisions can shape the strategy itself. Making a strategy without knowing your process is like sailing without a compass. The Explainer: Blue Ocean Strategy. Most senior executives can confidently answer this question.

Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne of INSEAD have written a whole book about Blue Ocean Strategy as they call it, in which successful companies innovate their value propositions to attract customers who have never engaged with their type of product or service before. The moral: if you want to find your Blue Ocean market, don't go where the pickings look richest. Many successful innovations work because they create a new market. This is, of course, hardly a new point.

There is no shortage of stories and anecdotes to illustrate how the best strategies can nearly always be reduced down to a brief but powerful statement and even more ink has been spilled describing the dangers of strategy statements that read like detailed action plans.

Consider the recent history of Apple and Microsoft, two tech companies no longer run by their visionary founders, and how each has competed in red or blue oceans. Over the last fifteen years Apple has made a series of successful market-creating—or blue ocean—moves (think the iMac, iPod, iTunes, the iPhone, the App Store, and the iPad). In other words, blue oceans offer the real potential for future profitable growth.

In addition to the pure creativity tools, we also found that the training in the use of strategic innovation frameworks — Blue Ocean Strategy, for example — dramatically improves the business relevance of team outputs. Jamming has become a popular way to unearth innovations — bringing together people of many different backgrounds to creatively brainstorm around a company's competitive challenges, expressed as "problem statements."

It was this received opinion Michael Porter was questioning when, in 1979, he mapped out four additional competitive forces in “ How Competitive Forces Shape Strategy.” Strategy, it follows for Porter, is a matter of working out your company’s best position relative not just to pricing pressures from rivals but to all the forces in your competitive environment. Strategies for staying ahead. A tour de force by any measure, “What Is Strategy?”

What I am pretty sure about is that the how of Apple's fall (or continued rise) will hinge on strategy — because strategy has driven its success. Because strategy is all about making choices. To quote Porter: "Strategy renders choices about what not to do as important as choices about what to do." Or actually, maybe strategy is really about finding blue oceans — markets that come into existence as a company defines them.
