The Value Mix
The Value Mix
The Framework to Create Meaningful Products and Services for Your Audience
About the Book
Create more exciting propositions:
Creating and launching a new product or service is difficult.
That’s because there are lots of uncertainties. It’s inherent to the process of making something new.
Fortunately, in recent years, the management literature has given us methods: new ways of approaching the innovation process. To you, the words “lean startup”, “design thinking”, and “customer development” certainly sound familiar.
These are great innovation methods!
But here’s the thing…
Even by following these methods, you’re still missing a key element of your innovation journey...
...a framework that helps you create new, relevant, and exciting products and services for your customers.
In the Value Mix, you'll learn:
- How to turn market data into marketing insight
- The 4 elements that will help you gain deep understanding of your customers
- What value means in the eyes of your customers
- How to make an idea more tangible so the rest of your team can be aligned on its implementation
- The 6 things your customers have in mind to judge your value proposition
What's inside the book:
The Value Mix is an innovation tool that helps you to do two things:
- Know your target customers better to create real value for them;
- Build a fully-fledged strategy for your new products and services.
The book is sharp. 75 pages (+ 20 pages from the new edition) about creating meaningful propositions for your customers.
By focusing on the interactions between your customers and your product, this framework allows you to be as accurate as possible. This means capturing enough nuances to reflect the reality of our world.

A book to hack value proposition design
The concept of value proposition is among the most hyped and used terms in the business and startup world. Yet a few really know what it means. Guerric did a fantastic job of explaining the essence of designing products that people want. As the creator of FourWeekMBA.com, I dissect businesses and business models of any kind. Thus I'm always in search of simple tools that can be used by entrepreneurs to extrapolate insights about their businesses with the aim of growing them rapidly.
