Strategy & Positioning
Visual Awakening
Visual Awakening helps you understand your market and your position within it. It also helps you to visualize alternative options you have within your market.
- Identify your factors of competition (What makes you stand out? What are your competitors doing better than you?)
- Weight the factors (Which ones mean the most to the consumer? To your bottom line?)
- Compare your offerings with the competition by drawing a Strategy Canvas.

Visual Exploration
Ask yourself the following:
- Where do my products live within the market?
- What factors can be eliminated or changed about my offering to make it better or more appealing? To make it cost less to create?

Visual Communication
CHANGE SHOULD BE INTENTIONAL, NOT REACTIVE.
- Distribute the before-and-after strategic profiles for easy comparison
- Make a decision on the new strategy canvas that the company is capable of implementing
- Support only operational moves that allow the company to actualize the new strategy.
