They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail-order service into a streaming superpower - with 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than Disney. Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries.

Story
We all have a tendency to work around problems. We are resourceful. We improvise. We’re so accustomed to managing emergencies as they strike that we often don’t stop to think about how we could prevent crises before they happen. Why 'solve' crimes when we could stop them being committed? Why treat chronic diseases when they could be prevented from developing? Why provide shelter for the homeless rather than working to keep people housed in the first place? Why do our efforts skew so heavily towards reaction rather than prevention?

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.

A Sensible Shift to People Engagement
Blue Ocean Shift is basically a shift in, not so much in business process or activity, but rather persoective in how employees and customers are involved in business/strategic planning.
That said, the authors offer some practical frameworks including templates in which to put into practice these, not so new, thoughts on how engaged employees and customers should be in the change process.
You'll note that I stated 'not so new', this is because the theory of engagement of both employees and customers throught business activities is well known and has been shown to provide many benefits. What the authors have done in this book is to develop their own perspectives and represent them formally in some usefull templates and theory.
Overall, this book offers the reader another way in which to address change, and while the information may not be cutting edge it does provoke thoughts on how to work more productively through the empowerment of employees and perspectives of customers...which is never a bad thing.
The book performed very well, great narration and the structure is well laid out, I am, however, a little dissapointed by the templates since they open with Kindle via the authors website making them less usefull than say opening as a word document.

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.

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!

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.
