From the Foreword to SLINGSHOT book in response to Covid-19 Crisis
"I originally published Slingshot in 2011 and launched the accompanying Slingshot Framework in the same year. Even though much has changed since the fundamental mindset presented by the book and its practical application brought to life by the framework are just as critical today. In fact, the Covid-19 crisis has made the core Slingshot concepts - re-imagining market boundaries, customer-centric business transformation, and practical implementation of Blue Ocean Strategy - indispensable for any organization looking to master the new normal.
Specifically, Slingshot provides you with the foundation for turning crisis into opportunity through the following steps:

1. View current crisis as a form of extreme disruption
2. Embrace ‘perpetual crisis’ mindset, understanding that disruption is constant
3. Harness creativity as your organization’s critical resource for finding new opportunities during and after this crisis
4.  Adopt a process to systematically focus your creative thinking on what customers need and want the most – The Slingshot Framework
5. Use this process to identify new market opportunities while minimizing resources/cutting costs, and keeping your staff engaged and motivated
6. Take advantage of the crisis to strengthen your customer relationships, community outreach, and to revitalize your company’s value proposition"
