Value Innovation and Opportunity Identification

Value innovation examines the cost-value equation in search of new solutions. With big ideas and scarce resources, entrepreneurs must be efficient in their decisions and discerning in their time & financial management.

To develop an innovative value curve, explore the benefits that matter most to customers: emphasize what matters to them - invest in exceeding customer desires and eliminate or reduce less valuable factors - redirect money and time into raising benefits and creating value.

The key elements of opportunity identification are - defining the problem, crafting a competitive solution, building your advantage, and forming the right team.
