The six paths framework provides six systematic ways to shift the lens you use in looking at the market universe and open up a new value-cost frontier. Path by path, the framework explains how to uncover plausible blue ocean opportunities by looking across an industry’s self-imposed boundaries, instead of remaining stuck within them.
This process enables you to break away from conventional competition-based thinking, shift your perspective and gain insights into how to reconstruct conventional boundaries to open new demand. Instead of looking within conventional boundaries, the six paths framework helps you to look across alternative industries, across strategic groups, across buyer groups, across complementary product and service offerings, across the functional-emotional orientation of an industry, and even across time.
