Value Proposition
Using CATWOE to define the value proposition for a
Lean Startup. Lean Liverpool 13th Dec 2012.
CATWOE-Mnemonic
C is for CUSTOMER—the principal beneficiary and for whom the system exists

A is for ACTORS—those with knowledge and skill underpinning service to C

*T is for TRANSFORMATION —the effect/benefit felt by the customer
Places emphasis on the functionality of the system from the customer POV*

W is for WORLDVIEW or values of the actors involved (manager dominant)

O is for OWNERSHIP—the person or entity able to stop the system

E is for ENVIRONMENT—the context (e.g. physical, regulatory) of operation
Part of the soft systems method of system or organisational
analysis, design (business model) with a view to improving
performance

used to generate a concise statement of core purpose also
called the root definition which contains the value
proposition.

The model of an organisation/enterprise cascades from its
core purpose or reason for existing

It has to be customer focused
Conventional use of CATWOE to define separate systems

                                    System                         System
        System




Unconventional use of CATWOE
to define the value proposition                                    Customer
                                       Enterprise System

                                       Transformation becomes the beneficial effect
                                       on the customer system-value proposition

    ABC described itself as a manufacturer, involved in metal coating.



ABC Ltd is a company based in Merseyside (E) owned by Mr Y (O) and provides
an excellent service (W), at a profit (W), to manufacturers (C) requiring the
application of performance enhancing surface coatings (T) to metallic substrates
(components) used in high value added machinery and systems (for example aircraft
parts).

The core purpose is, therefore, not to make or manufacture, but to
increase the performance of components through the application of a
surface coating.
Illustration of CATWOE in action…2

This company considered itself a hat manufacturer, but they also imported hats and
supplied to retailers through a wholesaling activity. They mostly made hats to order,
but they also make hats for stock. Hats fell into three categories: uniform hats, leisure
hats, technical hats (H&S) related. They also designed hats.


 A company owned by its MD (O) and embedded in Merseyside (E) that makes a profit (W)
 and created employment (W) by designing, making, and otherwise supplying head wear as a
 functional element of a uniform set of clothes so satisfying a user’s desire or need for dress
 uniformity (C) as an integral part of establishing or building an identity (T).

 This definition excludes hats designed for specific ‘technical’ functions because they
 require different actors to design and make them, and may be marketed to
 customers with special needs. CATWOE analysis suggests this aspect of the business
 should be pursued as a distinct but complementary business.

 Business core purpose should be expressed or captured in a single sentence,
CATWOE and Discovering Revenue Streams

             What’s the common factor?

             Cleaner teeth? Oral hygiene? Oral Care?

 Value proposition is improved oral hygiene,
 giving healthier teeth and gums for longer.
Innovation- Multiple revenue streams
Marx and the manipulation of the
        value proposition
             Karl Marx distinguished between

   Exchange-value and Use-value
   Product            Advertising        packaging
    design              copy



Enhance the value proposition and increase

  • 7. Illustration of CATWOE in action…2 This company considered itself a hat manufacturer, but they also imported hats and supplied to retailers through a wholesaling activity. They mostly made hats to order, but they also make hats for stock. Hats fell into three categories: uniform hats, leisure hats, technical hats (H&S) related. They also designed hats. A company owned by its MD (O) and embedded in Merseyside (E) that makes a profit (W) and created employment (W) by designing, making, and otherwise supplying head wear as a functional element of a uniform set of clothes so satisfying a user’s desire or need for dress uniformity (C) as an integral part of establishing or building an identity (T). This definition excludes hats designed for specific ‘technical’ functions because they require different actors to design and make them, and may be marketed to customers with special needs. CATWOE analysis suggests this aspect of the business should be pursued as a distinct but complementary business. Business core purpose should be expressed or captured in a single sentence,

Notas do Editor

  1. This presentation expands on the use of CATWOE, which was briefly introduced at November’s Lean Liverpool presentation on why Osterwalder’s canvas is unequalled.
  2. * This is the way I define transformation. In the original use of CATWOE, the transformations are activities or processes within a system boundary.
  3. Once CATWOE has been used to define the system’s root definition or core purpose it’s time to think about the activities required to realise it. Once the activities have been identified, and only at that stage, the human and other resources required can be estimated. When that has been done it will be possble to work out the costs involved. In this way, CATWOE can be mapped onto the Business Model Canvas. Articulating or defining the value proposition using CATWOE will make it easier to articulate benefits to the potential customer and thus make it easier to estimate a price for your product and then the total revenue for the business.
  4. This definition omits the actors to make it easier to take in, but it was found that only one person in the company had the right level of knowledge and experience to deliver the service, so it realised it had to deepen the expertise/comptence of its Actors.
  5. Again it was convenient to leave out the actors here but again the process of creating the root definition helped the MD and other directors to appreciate that expertise was not in making (production) but in designing for manufacture, a competence that lay primarily with the ageing MD.
  6. This case appears in the work of Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad on Core Competency and Strategic Intent. The treatment here is not the same as the original in which there’s no reference to CATWOE or systems thinking of any kind, even though it is implicit (if you know systems thinking). The basics of this story appear in the book ‘Competing for the Future (1994) and an accompanying video from Harvard Business School.
  7. This slide illustrates the avalanche of inventions and innovations that colgate (proctor and gamble) delivered following the relaisation that its toothpaste manufacturing business was in fact an oral hygiene improvement business. All these products are designed to improve oral hygiene which keeps teeth and gums healthier for longer, so helping you keep your good looks for longer.
  8. Ditto, a revenue stream based on educating dentists.
  9. Some fun. The value proposition is not a simple idea, and it is perfectly obvious that companies have manipulated the value proposition so providing only the promise of use-value. The y-fronts example comes from a book on commodity aesthetics by W.F. Huag written many years ago. Every reader will know how product design, packaging and promotional text boost expectations and the promise of use-value or utility, only to disappoint in use. The wondabra is my best example.
