Where to play
Method by Pr Marc Gruber & Pr Sharon Tal
Where to Play helps you to set a promising strategy, by giving a clear, structured and practical framework – the Market Opportunity Navigator- to better identify, evaluate and focus on the right market opportunities:
- Market Opportunity Set – assess your core strengths and identify which market opportunities exist for your business
- Attractiveness Map – evaluate your market opportunities to reveal the most attractive option for focus
- Agile Focus Strategy – create a strategic plan for your chosen market opportunity that keeps you open-minded and agile
Step 1
Search Broadly
Market Opportunity Set
Ideate the set of potential market opportunities that you can address with your core resources and capabilities, technology, expertise, experience, customer knowledge…
Assess your capabilities independently of your existing products. Identify new applications and their customer segments.
Strategically add specific capabilities, such as AI, or add constraints, such as low-touch, to widen the scope.
Step 2
Assess Deeply
Attractiveness Map
Analyse in a structured way how attractive each option is for the target customer segment.
Rate each one on its potential and the challenges you would be facing for its implementation. Add other criteria that are important to you such as sustainability.
Step 3
Strategise smartly
Agile Focus Dartboard
Balance the tension between focus and flexibility to mitigate your risks and avoid lock-in.
