This PPT slide, part of the 29-slide 6 Paths Framework PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the 6 Paths Framework, a strategic tool aimed at helping organizations identify new market opportunities by challenging conventional industry boundaries. The framework outlines 6 distinct paths that organizations can explore to create new demand and differentiate themselves.
The first path, Alternative Industries, encourages organizations to look beyond their current sector to find similar products or services that address the same customer needs. This approach can reveal untapped opportunities for innovation. The second path focuses on Strategic Groups, where companies can analyze different segments within their industry to uncover unmet needs or preferences among specific customer groups.
The Chain of Buyers path shifts the focus to various buyer categories—such as purchasers, users, and influencers—highlighting how understanding these groups can lead to new value creation. Complementary Products and Services is the fourth path, emphasizing the importance of aligning with other offerings to enhance the overall customer experience and drive demand.
The fifth path, Functional vs. Emotional Appeal, suggests that organizations can redefine their product positioning by balancing functional benefits with emotional resonance, depending on customer preferences. Finally, the Time path underscores the need for organizations to analyze emerging trends and adapt their strategies proactively to meet evolving market demands.
Each of these paths offers unique insights that can help organizations innovate and grow beyond traditional market confines. By leveraging the 6 Paths Framework, businesses can systematically explore new avenues for growth and value creation.
This slide is part of the 6 Paths Framework PowerPoint presentation.
