What's Blue Ocean Strategy- Blue Ocean Strategy is a business theory developed by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, professors at INSEAD, a business school in France. It suggests that instead of competing in crowded "red oceans" where competition is fierce, businesses should seek uncontested market spaces, or "blue oceans," where competition is irrelevant or non-existent.

The term "red ocean" refers to existing market spaces, where competition is intense, leading to commoditization, price wars, and shrinking profit margins. In contrast, a "blue ocean" represents untapped market space, with the potential for high growth and profits.

I want to delve into how hosting dedicated #learninginterventions on this strategy can deliver profound results for the organization’s leaders. In today’s dynamic business environment where #competition is fierce and #innovation is paramount, it is more important than ever to equip our leaders with the tools and mindset to navigate uncharted currents.
