Crossing the Chasm

I came across this table of critical questions in the Judge Business School Ignite literature. (Programme Manual p 14). I've modified the table to be more compact.

These are listed as "chasm crossing factors" which can enable a high-tech business to transition from selling to primarily "early adopters" to the "early majority".

  1. Target Customer:
    1. Do they have the resources to buy?
    2. Is the product/service an economic benefit to them?
    3. What is the most effective sales channel? (Distribution)
  2. Competition
    1. Does another company have a solution already?
    2. How do competitors profit?
  3. Partners
    1. Who do you partner with to present a total solution to your customers?
    2. Suppliers
