  1. Hypercompetition • In hypercompetitive markets, firms are unable to establish sustainable advantage. Instead, they aggressively work to create temporary advantages. • Additionally, incumbent firms can no longer create substantive value by focusing on incremental changes. They need to boldly redefine themselves and their strategy, cannibalizing the value of their current resources and market position before others are able to do so.

  2. The End of Incrementalism • We have reached the end of incrementalism in the quest to create new wealth. Quality, cost, time-to-market, process improvements -- these are important, but we are hitting the point of diminished returns…. Unless today’s established corporations learn to reinvent themselves and their industries, much of the new wealth will be created by newcomers.” -- Gary Hamel
