ブルーオーシャン戦略 ー熱い

Blue Ocean Strategy
International Best seller
W. Chan Kim (著), Renee Mauborgne (著)

以下アマゾンから抜粋：
Written by the business world's new gurus, "Blue Ocean Strategy" continues to challenge everything you thought you knew about competing in today's crowded market place. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than a hundred years and thirty industries, authors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne argue that lasting success comes from creating 'blue oceans': untapped new market spaces ripe from growth. And the business world has caught on - companies around the world are skipping the bloody red oceans of rivals and creating their very own blue oceans. With over one million copies sold world wide, "Blue Ocean Strategy" is quickly reaching "must read" status among smart business readers. Have you caught the wave?

本 - Lateral Thinking Skills - Vol. 3

重要箇所抜粋：

"In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skilful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."
Harry S. Truman

"The conventional leader is easily recognized as a goal-oriented, decisive person who is well suited to a structured environment such as a mature corporation, government department or the military. Lateral leaders, on the other hand, adopt a different kind of approach to reaching goals - they are much more focused on the creativity and innovation of the team."

"Successful leaders combine the qualities of the conventional leader and the lateral leader."

"Today's president, CEO or managing director needs to be a disruptive influence with the imagination, vision and courage to lead the organization into new and dangerous territory. The leader must be an entrepreneurial driver who can inspire the team to boldly venture into uncharted lands. This requires conventional and lateral leadership skills."

"WHAT INNOVATIONS HAVE YOU IMPLEMENTED THAT HAD POSITIVE IMPACTS ON CUSTOMERS?"

以下、重要箇所。





"Leaders must spend time looking for entirely new ways to meet customer needs."

"....above all, they must encourage and empower their people to take creative and entreprenueurial approach to exploit new opportunities."

"The best way to create value is to innovate your way ahead of the competition in order to create temporary monopolies where yours is the only who in town. You can do this by harnessing the creative power of your greatest asset, your people."

The Key elements of creating a truly innovative and entrepreneurial organization can be summarized in the following eight steps:

1. Paint an inspiring vision.
2. Build an open, receptive, questioning culture.
3. Empower people at all levels.
4. Set goals, deadlines and measurements for innovation.
5. Use creativity techniques to generate large number of ideas.
6. Review, combine, filter and select ideas.
7. prototype the promising proposals.
8. Analyse results and roll out the successful projects.
