Title: The Delta Model: Putting customers before products
Description: For many years the ultimate goal of strategy has been to achieve a competitive advantage. Organizations have operated more or less as if they are at war with one another, vying only to offer the superior product. But with the interconnection made possible by the Internet and other new technologies, it is clear that this approach needs to be adjusted. It is a way of thinking that often leads to the commoditization of the product offering, imitation, and, ironically, in the end, reduced quality.
