• Address the value, features & quality of a
Product companies products
• Does the product produce superior offerings,
Performance unique features, style & functionality? Are they
easier to use?
Model differences in margins or costs? Users vs who pays for it? Quick cash?
Network
• How you connect with others to create value
• Does the company work with others to develop products? Do they help others
with their products? Collaborate across the supply chain?
Structure
• How you organise and align your talent and assets
• Does the company have an unusual org structure? Are they known for
attracting the best talent? Do they use their assets differently?
Process
• How you use signature or superior methods to do your work
• What is the company uniquely skilled at doing? Are the operating costs much
lower?
Engagement offerings confer a unique identity or sense of status? Do customers talk about how the
product has become part of their lives?

It’s not that product performance is unimportant, rather you need multiple innovation types to create
competitive advantages that endure
On average, mediocre innovators use <2 types and top innovators use >3 types. Using 5 or more types,
integrated with care almost always sees you reinventing a market
