Play Bigger

The how-to playbook for start-ups and established companies on how to define a new category, develop it and then dominate it over time.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In today's world, it's no longer enough to create great new products; rather, companies now must create whole new categories that destroy old ones. Uber created a new personal transportation category and destroyed taxis and limos. Salesforce.com created a new category of cloud-based sales automation, dethroning the old CRM industry. Airbnb, Workday, Tesla, and Netflix are all winning by creating entirely new business categories that destabilise old ones.

The category is the new strategy.

The conclusion: If you want to build a legendary company, you need to design and build a legendary category at the same time, and dominate it over time. Your company needs to be a Category King. And if you don't design a Category King, you're creating a failure.

Drawing on examples from within and beyond our own practice, Play Bigger shows both entrepreneurs and established enterprises how to define, develop, and rule a category over time.
