During .orgCommunity’s virtual event Jake Toohey and I demonstrated real-world examples of how associations and arts, culture & entertainment organizations are digitally pivoting.

In our experience working across the association industry, we have observed some shared business models. In the spirit of Blue Ocean Strategy, we share new business models and pivots from our arts, culture, and entertainment clients.

Blue Ocean Strategy

  1. how to create uncontested market space by reconstructing market boundaries,
  2. focusing on the big picture,
  3. reaching beyond existing demand and supply in new market spaces
  4. getting the strategic sequence right. (Wikipedia: Blue Ocean Strategy)

As we look across marketspaces we see some shared business models. If we look closely we might reach beyond our existing models and find new market space.
