FINDING THE WHITE SPACE: 

Vibrant businesses are constantly looking for new ways to deliver value.

They look for white spaces in the business ecosystem: opportunities that are just emerging and not yet clearly articulated.

Design thinking helps uncover business innovation.

So there, MBAs! Now you know! :)))
