Former general Stanley McChrystal held a key position for much of the War on Terror, as head of the Joint Special Operations Command. In Iraq he found that despite the vastly superior resources, manpower, and training of the US military, Al Qaeda had an advantage because of its structure as a loose network of small, independent cells. Those cells wreaked havoc by always staying one step ahead, sharing knowledge with each other via high-tech communications.

When a company like Uber connects drivers with passengers, everybody wins - except traditional cab companies, which are scrambling to survive.

It's really a Business Workbook

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd recommend this book in its printed form to organisations looking to, in old terminology, think outside the box and look for new ways to prosper. There are a lot of steps, exercises and references out to secondary material that needs physical study over listening.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I found the narrators speed a little slow.

Any additional comments?

If you're following the book, it mentions a bonus PDF which you would need to contact the publisher for as it's not included in the download. I'd still recommend a physical/digital copy over the audio.

Riding off success of their first book

overly academic, boring and could be summed up in a few chapters. no where near as good as the first one. do yourself a favour and fast forward the first 2 hours. we know what a red and blue ocean are!! you don't need to keep harping on about opening new value frontiers!

A great step by step process to finding a blue ocean

Slow to start, but a lot of great insights and steps on how to create a blue ocean, with some out of the box examples including toilet paper, governments and French fry makers. This book complements Sprint really well for making an organisational shift.

Great content but a bit of a robotic delivery

I felt like the content of the book would have been easier to digest if the narration had been a little less robotic

Long Winded, Repetitive

For those who already read/heard/understands what Blue Ocean Strategy is, this audiobook is somewhat frustrating to go through as it is extremely repetitive and more suited to large corporations with multi-products or service offerings. I am listening to the 6th chapter now and I still do not have any idea how to develop a blue ocean strategy for my business. I am a sole operator in the recruitment business.
