“An experience strategy is that collection of activities
that an organisation chooses to undertake to deliver a
series of interactions which, when taken together,
constitute a product or service offering that is superior in a meaningful, hard to replicate way; that is
unique, distinct & distinguishable from that available
from a competitor.”
- Steve Batty, VP IxDA

OK to get ‘fired’Innovation subversives don’t all fit
The Association for Managers of Innovation studied why corporate innovation champions struggle to survive.! The study looked at what actions and behaviours put these managers at risk in their efforts to evangelise.! Of the 15 innovation champions in the study, 10 left their organisations and became consultants, 4 joined smaller or start-up companies, and 1 retired.
None returned to a Fortune 500 company.! Most of the consultants* have as their clients Fortune 500 companies and, in some cases, their former employers.
*consultant is not a ‘dirty’ word any more!
Eewei Chen / @ultraman / me@eewei.com
Believe
• Start small fires that make a difference in a big way. OK to fail.
• Persevere past early stage adoption till it becomes second nature.
• Pivot when it starts feeling out of date and make it more relevant.
