Moving From Viable to Optimal Use-Case Solutions — Three Keys to Creating Profitable Products
Posted: May 26, 2021Here’s the scenario: you have an idea for a new product. You’ve done your market research, you have a good sense for your product category and use case, and you’ve even looked into and budgeted for the costs associated with bringing your product to market.

Hyperspecialization occurs when firms focus too narrowly on excelling in a few ready-made solutions for a few well-defined problems. While this can be a perfectly serviceable model for low-complexity consumer products, it poses at least three significant dangers for innovations that lie outside this narrow category. Let’s take a look at each.
