Why some of the new products launched make it and others fail?
Best value-driven differentiators and differentiation win.
Always.
If you’re still looking for the answer, you are in the right place.
I help companies develop new high growth high profit products and services.
Through value innovation, the simultaneous pursuit of value for buyers and for business.
That is how customers earn markets, revenues and profits.
If it were easy, everyone would have done it.
To innovate is no longer a luxury, it's a do or die necessity.
Market shares conquered in years of marketing campaigns can vanish overnight.
You may get surprised when you least expect it.
A player you don’t even see today, will close your shop tomorrow.
How do you compete with “moving East” toward lower costs?
The hardest part is to know
what to innovate on and
how.
That’s what I do.
I’m Dan Mocanu. I design value-driven innovation processes.
I help create differentiators and differentiation.

“Until Dan, I wanted to do some patch work here and there. I was thinking in patches.
With Dan we did in three years what we hoped to do in seven.”
Dan Baciu
Founder of Transylvania National College
“With Dan the result I dreamed of that seemed unattainable came true. I turned a dream into reality. What we did was to change everyone’s “by default” thinking from effort to results.
This was the biggest step. And yes, we doubled the turnover and expanded nationally in one year in the middle of crisis.”
Lucian Anghel
General Manager BSS
“Dan was quite exceptional in helping us to identify and address the main barriers that prevented us from moving forward in our development.
His passion, tact and excellent ability as a coach and facilitator were essential to us at a critical
time for GRASP”
Radu Tatucu
President GRASP
Why would you innovate with me?
Everyone wants a strategy for profitable growth, but very few have it.
And even fewer have designed products and businesses for success.
Where does profitable growth come from?
From strategy and execution. It all starts with designing unique, affordable and irresistible products that offer a leap in value and create new markets. Where competition is irrelevant.
How do you design your strategy for profitable growth?
Together we can design the pathways to create your new product or service. With precise tools. Time tested and validated.
Apply Blue Ocean Strategy value innovation framework. Counter-intuitive. Look where your competition doesn’t. Do more with less. Offer high Value at low Cost.
Are you ready? Start.
You have a great team that could deliver more but doesn’t. Why?
Your team is like an orchestra. Is the repertoire uninspiring or the performance not so great or both?
How do you prepare your team to compose great offerings and deliver brilliant execution?
Since 2004, when I returned from the US I have helped hundreds of companies and organisations design and redefine their repertoire.
I coached couple of thousand top level performers design and deliver brilliant execution. With outstanding results.
For every Euro invested in working with me, my clients generated an average another 50. Minimum 10, maximum 120.
Unbeatable differentiation requires value innovation.
Create something new and wow at lower cost.
All memorable buildings or great enterprises started with great blueprints.
By working together we can architect the blueprint for your new offering: an unbeatable value for clients and for business that you don’t think about today.
