Be Different or Be Dead

by Roy Osing

NEVER has it been more important to carve out a Distinctive and Unique place for your organization in the market than it is today.


The economy is unpredictable.

Competition is intense as new competitors are entering the market at a blistering rate.

New technology “rains down” relentlessly.

Markets are cluttered with sameness; products and services are undifferentiated and competitive claims are lost in the crowd.

Customers are more empowered than ever before, establishing relationships with suppliers that deliver distinctive solutions and ignoring those that don’t.

Which organizations are successful and survive this challenging business environment, and what separates them from the others that struggle, hang on and eventually fail?

Those that are able to win this battle are DiFFERENT from their competitors. They survive the scrutiny of the discriminating customer by providing relevant, compelling and unmatched value.

Those that have no distinctive identity simply don’t make it.

They die.

BE Different or be dead will help organizations successfully position themselves in this hyper-competitive environment and build a thriving future.

Welcome.

The journey with Roy in creating our Strategic Game Plan and taking it to execution mode has been extremely rewarding not only for me but for each of our team members. Roy’s approach is so refreshingly DIFFERENT that I asked him to continue to guide us and hold our (my) feet to the fire. Through his hands-on and day to day coaching we continue to benefit from his rich knowledge, experience and very practical approach. Insulinpumps.ca has staked its position in the market as being a company that truly does STAND OUT.”—Melany Hellstern, CEO, insulinpumps.ca, Oakville,Ontario
