Activities Objective Draw the value curve of a specific offering and compare it with competitors

Build a competitive advantage and beat the competition. Retain and expand customer base through segmentation and customisation. Focus on the differences. Utilise existing assets and capabilities. Offer the products and services of your industry. New value curves can be shaped that solve traditional trade-offs. Pursue a quantum leap in custo- mer value. Competition is no benchmark. Target the mass of buyers. Let some existing customers willing- ly go. Focus on key commonali- ties in what customers value. Ask what we would do if we were starting anew? Offer the total customer solution exceeding industry boundaries.

Indicate which key elements are eliminated, reduced, raised or created

Does what we do really create consumer benefit? If not, which components or features of our product or service should we eliminate? Where can we reduce our range of offerings? What costs us a lot of money but does not create benefit? Where should we raise the standard of products or services? Where can we increase benefit by expanding our existing offering?
