Candidates for change - attribute map

edit Using the attribute map to re-segment an offering can be incredibly powerful. Candidates for this treatment right now?

- mobile phones that are too small and fiddly for elderly people and children to use

- shavers that have gotten so evolved that some men will decide not to upgrade - the 'enough already' effect - Just too much money flowing into business class flying, which is almost sure to attract competition (see earlier post on this)

- foodies breaking into exotic foreign and organic domestic, leaving some supermarkets stuck in the middle and a whole lot of opportunity for Wal-Mart

When you start to think about it, most products and services that have been around for a while leave opportunities unexplored

In the Opportunity Clinics that I run, I call all the above examples that Rita cites a “left-behind” business opportunty.

You ask yourself: what’s the predominant trend or direction and who/what gets left behind? Obsolesced?
