What are the most common challenges you&#8217;re likely to encounter when putting your blue ocean strategy in motion? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got a strategy, it\u2019s time to execute it. In <em>Blue Ocean Strategy<\/em>, Kim and Mauborgne oversee four potential hurdles that you&#8217;ll have to overcome to implement a blue ocean strategy at your company and offer advice on how to overcome them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at each one in turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-the-recognition-shortfall\"><strong>1. The Recognition Shortfall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can implement a blue ocean solution, you have to convince your stakeholders that there\u2019s a problem worth solving. Arrange for them to meet dissatisfied customers, or otherwise bring them face to face with the problem, rather than relying on impersonal metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Make sure you\u2019re personally familiar with the problem yourself too, so you can present your solution at a personal level, in a way that will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/to-sell-is-human\/chapter-9\">serve your stakeholders\u2019 best interests<\/a>. According to Daniel Pink, this is one of the keys to effective selling.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-the-capital-shortfall\"><strong>2. The Capital Shortfall <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim and Mauborgne observe that companies in need of strategic change often have a resource shortfall. To work with this problem, the authors advise you to <strong>consider where your resources are earning the highest and lowest value<\/strong> per dollar spent, so that you can maximize your returns by shifting resources around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-48-laws-of-power\"><em>The 48 Laws of Power<\/em><\/a>, Robert Greene echoes this principle and generalizes it, saying that the key to moving forward is focusing on what will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-48-laws-of-power\/law-23\">generate the greatest benefit<\/a>. He applies this not only to physical resources but also to relationships and alliances.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-the-initiative-shortfall\"><strong>3. The Initiative Shortfall <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instilling in your team the motivation to <em>make the change <\/em>can be a hurdle in itself. In <em>Blue Ocean Strategy<\/em>, Kim and Mauborgne advise breaking down your strategy into small, actionable blocks so the change doesn\u2019t seem so daunting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/tiny-habits\"><em>Tiny Habits<\/em><\/a>, Dr. BJ Fogg proposes that the key to changing a person\u2019s behavior is designing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/tiny-habits\/chapter-3\">a change that\u2019s small enough<\/a> they <em>don\u2019t<\/em> <em>need<\/em> tremendous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/motivation-to-change\/\">motivation to change<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors also emphasize the importance of making your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-implement-a-strategy\/\">strategy implementation<\/a> a fair process in order to rally your team behind it. If your team members feel listened to and respected in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a> process, they\u2019ll more likely go along with a decision even if they personally disagree with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/never-split-the-difference\"><em>Never Split the Difference<\/em><\/a>, Chris Ross and Tahl Raz observe that people will often go out of their way to oppose anything they see as unfair, even if it means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/never-split-the-difference\/chapter-6\">making irrational choices<\/a>. This is what you are trying to avoid: If people perceive your blue ocean strategy as an unfair change in the direction of the company, they may reject it despite its merits.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-cooperation-shortfall\"><strong>4. The Cooperation Shortfall <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim and Mauborgne observe that organizations often have internal battles to get things done. They advise having one person on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/strategic-management-strategy\/\">strategic management<\/a> team who knows the corporate politics from firsthand experience. Her function is to help you anticipate who will side with you or against you, understand the opposition, and mobilize support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-48-laws-of-power\"><em>The 48 Laws of Power<\/em><\/a>, Robert Greene emphasizes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-48-laws-of-power\/law-14\">knowing your opponents\u2019 secrets<\/a> allows you to predict their behavior and ultimately control them. He suggests that if you engage with people in a friendly, interested manner, in a social setting, they will often reveal their interests, plans, and even weaknesses. If you are too well-known as a supporter of the coming changes, and you suspect that opponents of the changes won\u2019t open up to you directly, you need someone on your team who can socialize for you to find out how people <em>really<\/em> feel.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you execute a blue ocean strategy?
