Innovation Incubator: Day 2

Day 2 is all about assessing your industry!

(Part 1 of 2)

So much of the messaging I see for new entrepreneurs is to follow someone else’s steps and formula. We’re doing exactly the opposite today. We’re looking at what’s happening in your industry and what could be better. Blue Ocean Strategy says it “is the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost to open up a new market space and create new demand.” In order to determine what that new market space and new demand could look like for you… we’re diving into asking the right questions to assess your industry.

STEP ONE: Watch today’s video

STEP TWO: Fill out the worksheet

STEP THREE: Complete today’s Innovative Action

Start brainstorming on the questions in the document about what standards should be elevated in your industry and what elements need to be eradicated. Then share with us in the Facebook group… What came up for you today? What values are important to you? What do you want to see elevated or eliminated in your industry? Why?

**Note: I want you all to feel MORE than free to share. This is a space for positivity and collaboration. If you don’t agree with someone or they don’t agree with you it doesn’t matter! That is the ENTIRE POINT of innovation… to think differently than everyone else. We’re here to offer support, reflection, positivity, and ideas… not participate in criticism, complaints, or unhelpful conversations. So share away knowing that this is a safe space to test out your most innovative thoughts and ideas without critical debates around them!**
