Cost Can you attain your cost target to profit at your strategic price? Adoption What are the adoption hurdles in actualizing your business idea? Are you addressing them up front? A commercially Viable Blue Ocean Idea No-Rethink No-Rethink No-Rethink No-Rethink Yes Yes Yes Yes

10. innovation.uccs.edu B ACHELOR OF I NNOVATION ™ Buyer Experience Cycle A buyer’s experience can usually be broken into a cycle of six stages, running more or less sequentially from purchase to disposal. Each stage encompasses a wide variety of specific experiences. At each stage, managers can ask a set of questions to gauge the quality of buyer’s experience. PurchaseDeliveryUseSupplementsMaintenanceDisposal How long does it take to find the product you need? Is the place of purchase attractive and accessible? How secure is the transaction environment? How rapidly can you make a purchase? How long does it take to get the product delivered? How difficult is it to unpack and install the new product? Do buyers have to arrange delivery themselves? If yes, how costly and difficult is this? Does the product require training or expert assistance? Is the product easy to store when not in use? How effective are the product’s features and functions? Does the product or service deliver far more power or options than required by the average user? Is in overcharged with bells and whistles? Do you need other products and services to make this product work? If so, how costly are they? How much time do they take? How easy are they to obtain? Does the product require external maintenance? How easy is it to maintain and upgrade the product? How costly is maintenance? Does use of the product create waste items? How easy is it to dispose of the product? Are there legal or environmental issues in disposing of the product safely? How costly is disposal?

11. innovation.uccs.edu B ACHELOR OF I NNOVATION ™ Uncovering Blocks to Buyer Utility Uncovering blocks to buyer utility can identify the most compelling hot spots to unlock exceptional utility. By locating your proposed offering on the thirty-six space of the buyer utility map, you can clearly see how, and whether the new idea not only creates a different utility proposition from existing offerings but also removes the biggest blocks to utility that stand in the way of converting noncustomers into customers. PurchaseDeliveryUseSupplementsMaintenanceDisposal Customer Productivity: In which stage are the biggest blocks to customer productivity? Simplicity: In which stages are the biggest blocks to simplicity? Convenience: In which stage are the biggest blocks to convenience? Risk: In which stage are the biggest blocks to reducing risks?

13. innovation.uccs.edu B ACHELOR OF I NNOVATION ™ Price Corridor of the Mass This tool helps managers find the right price for an irresistible offer, which, by the way, isn’t necessarily the lower price. The tool involves two distinct buy interrelated steps. The first step involves identifying the price corridor of the mass which deals with customer price sensitivity and pricing strategies of products offered outside the group of traditional competitors. The second step deals with specifying a level within the price corridor which factors in legal protection and exclusive assets. Step 1: Identify the price corridor of the mass. Step 2: Specify a price level within the price corridor. Three alternative product/service types: Same form Different form, same function Different form and function, same objective Price Corridor of the Mass High degree of legal and resource protection Difficult to imitate Some degree of legal and resource protection Low degree of legal and resource protection Easy to imitate Upper-level pricing Mid-level pricing Lower-level pricing
