What Features Will Excite the Target Market?

Algorithm

Output the Customer’s 1 Solve Constraints—Then Simplify

Introduction The input to this step is a select group of people that are trying to get a job done under certain conditions (the market) . The outputs of this step are the features of the system which will allow the customer to overcome the constraints that keep them from doing the job that they want to do. Within any job, there are many functions which might be performed. From the human point of view, most jobs are performed as a process. If we consider the step-by-step process of the job, we will notice that there are many functions that are performed. Walking the process and then capturing it is an important step to understanding the functions performed within the Job. Walking the process helps us to understand the functions that humans perform. Unfortunately, this does not capture many of the unexpressed functions performed by objects in the system. Consider the job of feeding a pet. Objects perform functions such as protecting or handling the food and water. These functions will be taken for granted if we focus only on the process. In order to capture all of the functions, we develop a function diagram of the super-system (Job). This diagram will help us to focus on the main functions that the market requires, and the unspoken functions we have discussed. Modeling our system as a set of functions will help to focus us on what is really happening in the job.

Enabling Features

It is important to use good form in writing the functions as we will use this information to make important decisions. If you are not sure how to do this, review the rules following this introduction. In addition to the main job that we are performing there are other jobs which are required during the lifecycle of the product. At a minimum, the market may be required to purchase the product, transport it, set it up, maintain it, store it and eventually dispose of the product. Non-consumers exclude themselves from the market because these jobs may be relatively complex, time consuming or inconvenient. These functions are not new, it is just that they are usually ignored. Whole industries are built around making these additional jobs userfriendly. We will not ignore these jobs, especially if they create roadblocks for potential consumers. Our system does not exist in a vacuum. Other systems, suppliers, delivery channels and operators are required to create a viable offering. In order for our product to live, many other jobs are required. If we fail to recognize these jobs, then we may fail to understand the main reasons that potential consumers and delivery channels may not want our product. We loose sight of the non-consumer. The Product Life-Cycle Map will help us to look at all of the jobs that our system may require to exist. Various functions are associated with these jobs. When we understand these jobs and their functions, we will be considering the whole offering.

The super-system is trying to do one main Job. This Job can be done under a variety of situations which we will call “Missions”. Our system will perform certain Functions which assist in doing these Jobs or Missions. 1. Identify the Main Job of the Super-System. 2. Identify the various situations or Missions where this Job is Performed. 3. Consider Missions with Degraded Operation or Emergency Performance. 4.

Understanding the process of the system will give valuable insights into the system, such as what other jobs are required to make it work and what human functions are required. 1. Walk the process. Go perform it and watch others perform it. 2. Simulate the process 3. Document the process with a story-board or process map. Describe each step of the job in functional terms. 4. Break down process steps into progressively smaller steps. This can be done with a Story Board or a Process Map. The value of either of these tools is mostly found in the ability to break a process down into increasingly finer steps. Do not pay great attention to all of the knobs in this step. A process map gives a snapshot of the sequence of functions, without reference to causality and may not include all of the possible elements of the system or super-system.

Potential Functions that Simplify the Customer’s Job

Introduction The inputs to this step are the enabling features which will remove the constraints that keep the customer from doing his or her job. The outputs of this step are potential functions that our system will perform which could delight the target market. Consider how the customer might react if you could help them to: 1. Make the job more convenient or simpler. 2. Increase productivity by allowing the consumer to perform more functions. 3. Prevent or reduce harm to other objects. 4. Monitor processes taking place in the job. Remember that these are potential functions. Later, we will consider which of these to keep in order to deliver outstanding value to the potential consumer. Next, we consider how can we simplify the super-system (job) by reducing the number of elements required for the job. We will try to do this without sacrificing function. TRIZ provides several tools which allow us to remove multiple object from the super-system (Job) at once. This is generally possible because groups of objects either prevent or remedy the harmful effect of other system objects. If we can remove the cause of these harmful effects, then we can remove all of the attending objects.

Potential Offerings

Another set of tools allow us to simplify the system by considering individual functions and asking: What do we ideally want our system to do? What are the ideal objects that our system should serve? Answers to these questions can change the nature of everything that follows. During this time of reasoning, we allow ourselves to question the very items that we thought our system was going to serve and how it would serve them. By this point, there is usually a lot that we are taking for granted about the job that the market is trying to perform. Although we are considering adding functions to the system, we do not yet know that these functions are required. For instance, the functions that we are considering might not be required if the system product or modification are not required. We may be able to find ways to satisfy the super-system (job) without performing these functions. During this step, we should resist the temptation to become resolved on what physical phenomenon or objects will deliver the required functions. Following steps will take this into account. One unintended result of this step is the discovery of unexpected markets. Alternatives to performing the function almost always introduce possibilities for performing a new job. This discovery may send us back a step. By the end of this step (chapter) we will have captured the potential functions. They may require the use of valuable resources. Whether to include them or not is an important decision. In a later chapter, we will determine whether these potential functions are truly important to the market. If we keep new functions, it is likely that we will shed others.

Details Consider New Useful Functions

This is our opportunity to consider potential functions that might delight potential consumers. We do this by forcing our system to take on extra functions. Consider how the customer might react if you could help them to: 1. Make the job more convenient or simpler 2. Increase the productivity by allowing the consumer to perform more jobs with one object 3. Prevent or reduce harm to other objects 4. Monitor processes taking place in the job. Remember that these are potential functions. Later, we will consider which of these to keep and which to eliminate in order to deliver outstanding value to the potential consumer.

Business Theft of Functions from Super-System (TRIZ Universality) (also ASIT Unification Tool)

All systems within the super-system, including the super-system itself, are competing for functions. When we steal functions, the more closely related the function is to the function of your system, the more readily it will be accepted. 1. List objects in the environment associated with the job at hand. Take especial note of objects with similar functions. 2. The Tool takes over all or part of another objects functions. This is not simply a combining of objects. When you are done, one of the two original objects should be “invisible.” There should be no compromise in the original functions. 3. Completely new and unexpected benefits must emerge. Try different orientations and combinations. 4. Consider other markets that would find instant benefit from this virtual product.

Business Natural Groupings

If we have concluded that the function is required, then let us get the most bang -for-the-buck as we can. Here we consider extending the function to as many elements as possible. Extending the function to more of the same elements at the same time can reduce the overall amount of resources required. For example, let us consider shelling nuts. We ask ourselves the following: 1. Does product come in natural batches or groups? Other examples of natural groupings are a flock of geese, a mouthful of teeth, a pallet of objects, or a box of cereal. 2. Is it more ideal to modify the group simultaneously? Once again, There are no guarantees that modifying the whole natural group will require fewer resources. At this point, we may not know how we may accomplish this feat, but we continue in hope of finding a physical phenomenon that can do this.

Biased products are products that are in some significant way different than each other. Nails come in different sizes. If a hammer can effectively drive a tiny nail and a large framing nail, it is more valuable to the user. Lets consider a welder. 1. Are there similar products that might require the same modification? 2. How much variation is there in the product? If the variation is small, then there is little requirement to modify a biased product. If the variety is large, then if the ability is too narrow, the system may have limited use.

By this point, there is usually a lot that we are taking for granted about the job that we are trying to perform. Although we are considering adding functions to the system, we do not yet know that these functions must be required. In a more ideal world, the functions that we are considering might not be required, if the system product or modification are not required. We may be able to find ways to satisfy the super-system without performing these functions. As we are considering these simplifications, we may come to see completely new products, services and even markets. Note in one of the examples to the right that the food comes contained. It may be poured directly on the ground without harm. At this point, we may not know how this will be accomplished. During this step, we should resist the temptation to decide what products will deliver the required functions. Or, at least, we should not become completely resolved on the physical phenomenon and product that will deliver the function as the next step will take this into account.

Specify Competitive Functions and Attributes

Output Functions and Competitive Factors

Introduction

Reaching Out to Non-Consumers

The input to this step is the potential functions that our system might perform. The outputs of this step are the essential functions that our system will perform for the target market and how these functions will be performed (Level of the Competitive Factors). In their book Blue Ocean Strategy, Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne explain that most industries create new products in the red oceans of competition. The waters are made red by the blood of competing businesses. Most marketing tools are used to devise a strategy to be better than the competition in those things that the industry normally competes is. In contrast, Blue ocean markets are created by making the competition irrelevant. Either the market is very new, or the offering is very appealing to nonconsumers. If you have discovered a new market from the Discovery of Market step, or you have discovered potentially new and exciting functions in the Identify and Simplify Potential Functions step, then you are well on the way to creating blue ocean opportunities. If not, it is still possible to create blue oceans by expanding the offering into the vast blue waters of non-consumers. In this step, we try the make the market of potential consumers as large as we can by appealing to non-consumers. Non-consumers can be broken into three groups: those who reluctantly and infrequently use our products, those who actively vote against our product, and those who are not aware of our product or assume that someone else will supply their needs. Each of these groups can turn into blue ocean opportunities. Whether you are dealing with new or existing markets, data has shown that the blue oceans of noncompetition are extremely profitable. About 61% of the profits that companies make come from products launched in blue oceans.

How do we create blue ocean opportunities? We must reach out to non-consumers. This does not mean doing everything well. This means that we have to determine which of the potential functions and competitive factors are appealing to potential consumers. Ultimately we must specify a product or service in such a way that the chosen Job is easier to do. It must be easier in as many ways as possible: less distasteful, more fun, more convenient. Understanding How People Decide We begin by asking ourselves what the competitive alternatives are. Competitive alternatives are all of the different ways that people perform jobs, not just competitors products. These alternatives may be entirely different from the common industry options. It is important to identify these alternatives, because this is what non-consumers may be relying on. A scrapbook is a competitive alternative for a PDA. A pencil and paper is used in place of money-management software. A movie is a competitive alternative for a dinner date. Next, we ask ourselves what the competitive parameters are. How do people decide between competitive alternatives? What factors does a person consider when trading up or down? What competitive factors do industries typically invest in? A good way to capture the competitive factors is a Value Curve, as described by Kim and Mauborgne. A Value Curve gives a highmedium-low look at how our offering compares to the competitive alternatives. Cost is usually the first competitive parameter on the curve, followed by the main competitive factors that the industry competes on and invests in.

Algorithm

Eliminate competitive factors? If our products already exist, we should include our products in the mix. To be realistic, it is necessary to go to the field and find out how all of the competitive alternatives fare, including our own offering. While we know the main product functions, we now look at the whole offering and determine the level of the competitive factors of our offering. If the industry and competitive products already exist, it is likely that the industry takes these competitive factors for granted. Now we determine what the competitive factors are. Since we have created new functions, we can add these as new competitive factors. Once the competitive factors are identified, we need to determine how we rate, compared to all of the competitive alternatives. It is likely that products which directly compete will show up as being very similar to us, while alternative products will be quite different. It is typical that the industry takes most of the competitive factors for granted. Potential consumers are not interested in all of these factors and will generally give up some things if others can be greatly increased. Remember, when we can eliminate elements, the system is greatly simplified. Finding out what potential consumers really want is a tricky business. It generally comes from talking with people and watching them. Sometimes this must be done several times. Launching new products involve a learning period. Sometimes we need to go to lengths to create prototypes or at least virtual products and watch their reactions. Knowing what is important to potential consumers leads us to the creation of more ideal value curves. (Several potential value curves should be considered). If the new value curve looks the same as the competitive alternatives, then we are swimming in red waters. We can only swim in blue waters if our value curve is: • Significantly different from the competitive alternatives. • Provides what potential consumers really want. • Has a clear and focused tag-line. (For example, Southwest Airlines might have the tagline “Fast and flexible travel for the cost of a car trip”). We have to carefully choose what we will do well and what we will eliminate. This will eventually lead us to a specification for our offering that provides outstanding value for potential consumers. In order to focus sufficiently, we will need to reduce or eliminate certain competitive parameters that potential consumers do not care about, and greatly increase others that they care a lot about. If new functions and associated competitive parameters appear to be highly attractive to potential consumers, this will make our value curve stand out.

How is it possible that competitive factors can be eliminated? In general, the industry takes for granted that the market desires all of the competitive factors and seeks to provide the most possible for consumers, and still be competitive on cost. In reality, most potential consumers are willing to drastically reduce certain factors if other factors, especially price, could be greatly improved. Businesses often underestimate the direct and indirect costs of providing these additional competitive factors. When non-required factors are eliminated, it is easier to increase more important factors as well as to meet the target cost. This brings us to another subject. The price of the offering is an important competitive factor. The next step of the process is to set a target price. The price of a product or service should not be based upon the cost. The price is set by comparison to the competitive alternatives. This means that we set the target price before we set the target cost. The target cost must then be dictated by the business needs. After a cursory look at the target price and the target cost, it may seem improbable that the cost target can be hit at this step. Remember that we are very early in the overall innovation process. Identify this as a risk and move on. Future steps will be used to innovate and decrease the actual costs to meet the target. The final step is to create a specification that reflects the ideal value curve. Meeting this curve will allow us to attract the largest market of potential consumers. Barriers to Imitation If these markets are so lucrative, then why is it that industries find them so difficult to recognize? In the first place, blue ocean opportunities are not easily identified. Most marketing tools are built around competitive marketing strategies. Secondly, there are many competitive factors which the industry takes for granted. These factors are so entrenched that they are never challenged. These paradigms distract from what the non-consumer really wants. This draws off valuable resources which could be used to expand into blue ocean opportunities. Why then do industries not rush to imitate successful businesses when these new lucrative markets are discovered? There are several nonobvious obstacles to imitation:

Blue ocean opportunities go against conventional wisdom. It won’t make sense until it is too late. If another company accepts the new strategy, it must abandon its own. Internal struggles and politics will make it difficult to change. With limited resources, the market may not be able to support more than one player. Patents and other protections may make it difficult to copy. Imitation is unlikely until a high volume of sales is evident. Cost advantages are a natural result of high volumes. These cost advantages may make it difficult to catch up. Buyer loyalty or habit make it difficult to switch to the imitator.

Locate Non-Consumers: Nonconsumers are often those that are using the alternative which is not normally considered by the industry. They may not be familiar with your product at all because they assume that someone else provides the function. Locate Consumers that would jump ship if they could. They reluctantly use the industry product but would bale at the first viable opportunity. These people often have strong opinions. Locate Non-Consumers that are voting against the industry average.

Technical Determine the Required Price • Determine the price--It is important to know this price up front. • Consider the price of the low price alternatives—They perform the same job, but do not necessarily perform the same function. This is often the low price. • Consider the prices of products that perform the same function. • From these, create the “Price Corridor of the Masses.” • Price towards the upper band if you are well protected. Price lower if you are not well protected. (Note that you may need to come back to this price after applying future innovation steps. You may find that you can be well protected if there is a breakthrough.)

Price here if well protected



Price here if poorly protected

(For now, stay with this price. Later, you may discover that you cannot bear this price and it may need to be higher. This causes a contradiction: the price must be high and it must be low. The contradiction may be solved by using the principle of Gradually Separating in time: Renting Time share Slice share (sell part rather than the whole) Equity interest—partnering This is the safety valve, but it is important to try to hit the price point in the initial stages.)

Output Determine the Requirements

Introduction We have already identified the Competitive Attributes of the product. These are attributes that the consumer looks at to judge between competing alternatives. The consumer will usually make this judgment in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, having the Competitive Attributes is not sufficient to define the specific characteristics of the product. The competitive attributes must be broken down into more specific requirements that describe what the system will do within the context of the environment that it must exist in. Take, for instance, the Job of telling time under water. If the market is a construction diver that must stay submerged at great depths for long periods of time where the suns rays do not penetrate and the water pressure is deep, the competitive attributes that set this watch apart might be durability and visibility. If we have chosen to be greatly superior to industry standards in both of these areas, what does this mean in terms of the specific characteristics of the product? First, we have to take into account the Environment that the time piece will operate in. In this case, the depth of the sea requires that it be able to withstand pressures of 500 pounds per square inch. The darkness is akin to telling time in an underground cavern. The temperature of the water varies from 35 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the construction worker is moving about and impacting objects under water, the time piece must be able to withstand impacts and abrasion from a variety of unknown sources. (Everything cannot be known). Knowledge of environmental conditions should have come from the observations of living in the customer’s world during the step of Determining the Customer’s Desires. With knowledge of the environment, we are now prepared to determine the requirements for the product or process.

Product or Process Requirements

Lets look more carefully at the need to translate Competitive Attributes into specific Product or Process Requirements. For instance, most people would like to have a clean hotel room. What does that mean? Can this be measured in hairs per square inch or visible stains? Is there something else? What must the attributes of the Hotel be in order to be judged “Clean”? One way to begin translating the Competitive Attributes into Product / Process Requirements is to look to clues from the customer about what the requirements should be. Typically, the customer is not aware of the specific requirements, but we can try to get inside the customers head by asking specific questions: What is it that tips you off that a Hotel is not clean? We can take inventory of the various senses. Is it the smells when you walk into the room? Is it visible stains? Is it the uneven textures that you feel when you wipe a surface? What indirect measures does the customer use? Do the materials of the room that tip off the patron how clean the room is? Compare a carpeted room to a tiled room. Does the customer automatically assume that the tile is easier to keep clean? If the hotel room baseboards or woodwork does not appear to be well maintained, does the cleanliness also get a bad rap? If possible, it is usually best to visit the environment and find out the specifics. It may also be necessary to experiment or present the customer with specific attributes to determine what the real requirements are. Living in the market world is extremely valuable to get this right. Specifying the product requirements correctly is very important. Remember, everything beyond this point is dependant on getting this right. The product specification focuses the rest of the innovation activities. If a group is involved, it is essential that everyone is on the same page.
