10 © 2013 CELENT, A DIVISION OF OLIVER WYMAN Value Drivers Of Success Operational efficiency –Doing a sufficiently good-quality job (not necessarily high quality) at the lowest possible cost, with companies competing solely on headline price. Product innovation. –Innovation is often thought to be sexy new gadgets or processes, such as mobile payments. However, it could be as simple as packaging or designing products differently from the way others on the market do. Perhaps one of the greatest product innovations was the Gold card in the cards market. Indeed, a sign of success is that other companies copy an idea. Innovation therefore has to be continuous. Customer intimacy. –This discipline requires putting the customer at the center of everything the organization does. It could include delivering world-class customer service or simply developing products that allow customers to build their own products, segmenting to the power of one.
