Blue Ocean Stragegy - Defying Conventional Wisdom: Driving to the treadmill

Blue Ocean Strategy is all about challenging conventional wisdom – questioning taken-for-granted assumptions, and overstepping industry boundaries. It’s a frame of mind of continuously questioning and searching for a different angle and fresh perspective. You can draw inspiration from everyday life, and train your mind by having a discerning view of the world around you.

It must mean that getting exercise on the way to and from exercising is considered a bit excessive.
