Strategy professor Renée Mauborgne communicates the findings of her research, which ties companies’ successes and failures to their marketing strategies. She reports that there is indeed a pattern between the companies’ strategies and their results. Distinguishing between companies that operated in red oceans, already existing markets, and companies that took steps to carve out new markets, blue oceans, Mauborgne delivers some significant news.
“Companies that were market competing, what they did was they took the structure of their industry for granted. It’s tough. And they built their strategy based on it,” she summarizes. “But companies that created new markets, created blue oceans, they said I am going to have my strategy shape the structure of my environment, because industry structures are not given. They are not a product of nature. They are a product of our minds. We have created them.”
Scholar Renée Mauborgne draws from her decades of research at INSEAD, the world’s second largest business school to report the latest trends and findings in marketing, business strategy, management, and innovation. She uses multiple examples from well-known companies to illustrate key concepts, making her presentations friendly and interesting even to those who normally might shy away from academic economics.
BLUE OCEAN SHIFT - Move Beyond Competing
Traditional competition-based strategies aren't enough to sustain high performance. Companies must tap into the blue ocean of opportunities that will take them beyond competition. That's what this talk is all about: how to shift perspective, challenge boundaries and inspire people’s confidence so your organization will shift from competing to creating, from cutthroat markets to wide open ones, from red oceans to clear blue ones.
In this talk, Renée Mauborgne lays out a systematic five-step process anyone can use to make the shift. She shares real-life cases of how leaders in diverse industries and sectors moved from red to blue oceans using this process and how you can do it too. You’ll learn what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid pitfalls along the way so you can succeed on your own blue ocean journey. If you're ready to seize new growth, inspire confidence and build a compelling future for your company, you need to hear Renée talk about making a Blue Ocean Shift.
You’ll learn first-hand how to: • MOVE beyond competition and seize new growth opportunities • GROW through nondisruptive creation • BUILD people’s confidence to seize new opportunities & change • SHAPE industry boundaries in your favor
BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY - Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant
Prospects in most established market spaces—red oceans—are shrinking steadily. Technological advances have substantially improved industrial productivity, permitting suppliers to produce an unprecedented array of products and services. The result is that in more and more industries, supply is overtaking demand where companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of existing demand.
In this talk, Renée Mauborgne addresses one of the most important issues facing companies, nonprofits and governments today: how to break out of bloody competition, seize new growth, and create uncontested market space. She shows you how to shift your perspective to see opportunities where others only see constraints, and offers practical tools and a proven process that anyone can apply to create explosive growth.
NONDISRUPTIVE CREATION – Go Beyond Disruption to Seize New Growth
Disrupt this, disrupt that. Disrupt or die. That has been a popular mantra. But is disruption the only way to create new markets? And is it the best way? Renée Mauborgne says, no. In this talk she talks about why a focus on disruption is limiting and leaves half the opportunities to create new markets and new growth off the table. That other half is what she and her co-author Chan Kim call nondisruptive creation, whereby new markets are created without disrupting an existing one. Mauborgne shares real-life cases of how leaders in diverse industries and sectors created growth through non-disruptive creation by making a shift from red to blue oceans using the systematic blue ocean shift process.

Blue Ocean Strategy: How To Create Uncontested Market Space And Make The Competition Irrelevant The global phenomenon, embraced by business worldwide and now published in more than 40 languages.
This international bestseller challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success.
Since the dawn of the industrial age, companies have engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation. Yet, as this influential and immensely popular book shows, these hallmarks of competitive strategy are not the way to create profitable growth in the future.
In the international bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy, W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne argue that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves (spanning more than 100 years across 30 industries), the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from creating “blue oceans”—untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. Such strategic moves, which the authors call “value innovation,” create powerful leaps in value that often render rivals obsolete for more than a decade.
Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any company can use to create and capture their own blue oceans. A landmark work that upends traditional thinking about strategy, this bestselling business book charts a bold new path to winning the future.
