Oligino pointed out six patterns of opportunities (sourced from trendhunters.com):
1. Acceleration—how do you make things faster? How can you develop them? How can you make them more educational? How do we help people get to a better place faster?
2. Reduction—if you have a complicated client service process, can you react to change?
3. Convergence—together you have a stronger value proposition.
4. Cyclicality—everything returns, so capitalize on trends.
5. Redirection—it is not about trying to grow, but trying to make the world a better place.
6. Divergence—rebelling against the status quo. It is about personalization and customization.
Additionally, Oligino gave 10 reasons for growth:
• Grow the return on your investment.
• Experience the benefits of economies of scale.
