The Yes Box: How Step-Change Thinking is the Key to Growing Sales in a Shrinking Economy
BY John Warrillow
In a shrinking economy, many businesses focus on cutting costs and reducing prices to stay afloat. However, in The Yes Box, John Warrillow argues that this is a losing strategy. Instead, businesses and their process improvement consultants should focus on creating new value for customers and solving their problems in new and innovative ways. Warrillow calls this approach “step-change thinking” which goes beyond incremental improvements and instead, makes bold changes to the business model, product offerings, and marketing strategy.
Creating value across your organization is an underlying principle of NorthStar Strategic Partners 4 Points of Focus® making The Yes Box highly relevant.
