Is It Right For You?

AS A C-SUITE EXECUTIVE…
You struggle to set the right strategy for your organization. You don’t have a clear strategic direction that would differentiate your offerings from the competition and ensure profitable growth.

As a consequence of the lack of strategic direction, you wrestle with team alignment which leads to high employee turnover and low team morale.

Hiring and retaining talent is a big issue.

AS A MANAGER…
You’re stuck in the old way of doing things that don’t add value to the bottom line. It’s very hard to convince others to try new things.

You need to create a new strategy to launch and deliver services that would get new customers, increase profit margins, but don’t have a clear and systematic process to follow.

You struggle to get tangible results that would move you up the ladder and create new career opportunities.

AS AN ENTREPRENEUR OR SMALL BUSINESS OWNER…
You don’t know how to identify and pursue new business opportunities that would differentiate you from your competitors.

You have difficulty scaling your business and getting new customers for your products or services.

You have an innovative idea but you don’t know how to validate it.

Imagine If… Instead…

You could define and implement a strategic direction for your organization that would put everyone in the company on the same page and rally behind your strategy.
You could transform your company to deliver a differentiated product or service that would clearly distance your organization from the competition.
You had the reputation of an innovative leader and were widely respected for your strategic thinking.
You had a roadmap for creating a new market for your product or service.
You could land that coveted promotion and reach the dream C-suite level based on your business growth results.
You had the tools to build an innovative strategy that would make your dreams as a successful entrepreneur or business owner come true.

What if you could create your blue ocean where the competition is scarce, healthy profit margins exist, and your organization is on a path to sustainable and profitable growth?

Do you know HOW to get there?

Catherine Vassant, Business Coach

“If you think blue ocean strategies are a fancy sort of differentiation strategies, that they are complex to understand and implement, or that they only apply to large businesses or organizations, you’re not alone. That’s what I was thinking before starting this course.

But think again. The actionable method you’re looking for to get crystal-clear about your industry and competitors, find out who your potential customers are and what they really want, and map out a unique growth path ahead AND away from competition is in this course. Whatever your industry is.

The Blue Ocean Practical Introduction is a 10 modules online course with short impactful videos, the right amount of content to feel the progress without overwhelming, and inspiring examples. It not only walks you through the exact easy-to-use tools and the few strategic questions you need, but it also sparks a new energy to implement.

In my case (one-person business coaching activity), by the end of the course, I had the bigger half of my workbook filled with the clarity I needed about my situation and a new understanding of possibilities I felt but was unsure of or just plainly missed.

On top of that, this course gives you the confidence you need to both expand your ambition and take fast action, knowing you can always iterate as you get results. I would recommend it to any entrepreneur/business person serious about expanding her/his business with a new dynamic.”
