It is designed to give you an immediate snapshot of how your business\/product\/service is doing against the competition. To get started, first <strong>list the products<\/strong> or services you want to compare.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Now list the attributes, or factors of competition, that those products compete on. The list of attributes should have all the major <strong>value drivers<\/strong> in a product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">The next step in creating the strategy canvas is to <strong>rate each product<\/strong> from 1-10 according to each attribute. Ideally you would have customer survey data to back up these ratings and ensure the ratings were not heavily influenced by your own biases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">All we need to do now is create the canvas by combining this table data into a graph.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">And now you have a <strong>brand new strategy\u00a0canvas!<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">What we\u2019ve created is a simple comparison of what\u00a0is.\u00a0But what if you want to create a comparison of what\u00a0could be?\u00a0To do that, we need to manipulate the strategy\u00a0canvas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">According to <strong>Kim and Mauborgne<\/strong> lies the pathway to <strong>successful innovation<\/strong> in doing a unique combination\u00a0of one to four things to the attributes of your product,\u00a0namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
