Title: Meeting the Differentiation Challenge: Competitive Positioning in a Converging World
Author: Julie Schwartz, Lori Weiner
Date Published: July 2006
Ref. Number: OLB060727
Pages: 21

Description:

In a world where buyers have nearly limitless options—whether it’s to buy from an offshore provider, a global software or professional services brand, or from a highly specialized niche player—the only way to avoid being seen as a commodity provider is to differentiate, and to differentiate well.

This briefing provides an overview of ITSMA's four-phased model for establishing differentiation and building an enduring brand, the steps of which include:

  • Brand Assessment—Analyze your position
  • Brand Framework—Build your vision
  • Brand Communication—Educate your constituents
  • Brand Management—Deliver on your promise
In addition, the briefing features a case study on how Amdocs leverages its reference program to reinforce its brand messaging.
