Renee Mauborgne and Chan Kim spent decades studying how companies could find huge opportunities and their book Blue Ocean Strategy, described how companies could find untapped markets, "blue oceans", where there was no competition.

"

And as they describe it, if you can find the blue ocean, an untapped market, then your company will leap in value and unlock new demand.

And that resulted in our first article, Value Innovation. And that eventually led to this grand theory, which again is one of the most influential business theories of the past 50 years called Blue Ocean Strategy, which essentially--and I'm going to paraphrase it, but you'll do a better job at giving a better explanation--is that there are essentially two oceans in business.

And that became what we called the Blue Ocean Strategy.

So we saw there was those two universes, but most companies' effort and energy was all in the competing. And we asked the question, why?

We Reinvent the Circus.
