WHAT CAN YOU DO?What CAN you learn
from the Innovation Class?What is NOT replicable?
• Access to cheap capital (mostly)
• The “new” or “different” factor
• Low cost of customer acquisition
• Play by other rules (i.e. claims, copyright, etc.)
• Business model?
• Focus > Breadth
• Speed to market
• Clear identity is as important as ever
• Exploit data around how customers behave vs. what consumers tell you
• With every significant shift in media / distribution there are a small number of winners that benefit disproportionately
• Culture is as important as strategy
• Extend don’t copy
