THE STRATEGY CANVAS

The diagnostic and action framework


for building a compelling blue ocean
strategy

Horizontal axis: Factors on which the


industry competes on and invests in
Vertical axis: The level of offering that
buyers receive on these factors.

To shift the strategic canvas: reorient


strategic focus from:
Competitors to alternatives
Customers to non-customers

Are the products or services over-designed?
Eliminated enological terminology and intimidating displays

Eliminate compromises the industry forces a company to make


Extensive varieties in wines demotivated customers
[yellow tail] had only two varieties of wine: Chardonnay and Shiraz

Create new demand and shift the strategic pricing


Social drink accessible to all
Stole sales from competitors and pulled more than 6 million new customers
Raised wine price above budget market

CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD STRATEGY

The three qualities:


Focus
Divergence
Compelling tagline

These three criteria serve as an initial litmus test of the commercial viability of blue
ocean ideas. The [yellow tail]s value curve has focus; the company does not diffuse its
efforts across all key factors of competition. Divergence is not because of benchmarking
competitors but instead looking across alternatives. The tagline of [yellow tail]s strategic
profile is clear: a fun and simple wine to be enjoyed every day
