Growth adjacencies include:

New customer segments:
- Micro-segmentation of current segments
- Unpenetrated segments
- New segments
New geographies
- Global expansion
- Local expansion
New channels
- Internet
- Distribution
- Indirect
New products
- New to world
- Complements
- Support services
- Next generation
- Just new products / services
New Businesses
- New to world needs
- New substitutes
- New models
- Capability adjacencies
New value chain steps
- Forward integration
- Backwards integration
- Sell capability to outside
