How can your product stand out in a crowded market? How do decide which features to focus on? That’s where the concept of “value innovation” can help you!
Value Innovation is the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost, creating a leap in value for both buyers and the company.
Because value to buyers comes from the offering's utility minus its price, and because value to the company is generated from the offering's price minus its cost, value innovation is achieved only when the whole system of utility, price, and cost is aligned.

ELIMINATE
Which features has the industry long completed on but should be eliminated?
CREATE
Which factors should be created that the industry has never offered?
