Session Abstract

Product Strategy

Pre-empt, Dislocate, Disrupt

We present the only three strategies for a new or revised product: preempt (find a new and unfilled market), dislocate (enter a competitive market in a way that limits existing competitors) or disrupt (create conditions in a competitive market that give you an edge) The strategy is scalable from a company point of view to a product point of view, and is based on practical experience from corporations and originates from military strategy. The talk is based on a book I co-wrote entitled OutManeuver. We'll explore when each of these options is viable and introduce tools and methods to help you win in each case.
