The Blue Ocean Shift ideology focuses on identifying untapped growth opportunities by moving from “red oceans” crowded with competition to “blue oceans” of uncontested market space and explosive growth.

M&C’s hotels have taken steps to implement various activities to support Kwek’s Blue Ocean vision. Activities include a monthly staff recognition programme where the most innovative idea wins S$100 (US$74). M&C’s hotels in Singapore include Grand Copthorne Waterfront, M Hotel, Orchard Hotel, Copthorne King’s and Studio M.
