“The corporation as we know it, which is now 120 years old, is not likely to survive the next 25 years. Legally and
financially, yes, but not structurally and economically.”
Peter Drucker, Business 2.0 (08.00)

thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old
ones out.”Dee Hock

“Mr. Foster and his McKinsey colleagues collected detailed
performance data stretching back 40 years for 1,000 U.S. companies. They
found that none of the long-term survivors managed to outperform the market. Worse, the longer companies had been in the database, the worse
they did.”—Financial Times/11.28.2002

“Ebusiness is about rebuilding the organization from the
ground up. Most companies today are not built to exploit the Internet.
Their business processes, their approvals, their hierarchies, the
number of people they employ … all of that is wrong for running an
ebusiness.”Ray Lane, Kleiner Perkins

DREAM: “A dream is a complete moment in the life of a client.
Important experiences that tempt the client to commit substantial resources. The essence of the desires of the consumer. The
opportunity to help clients become what they want to be.” —Gian Luigi

6. The [Mostly Ignored] “Soul” of “Experiences”:
Design Rules!

All Equal Except …
“At Sony we assume that all products of our competitors have basically the same
technology, price, performance and features. Design is the only
thing that differentiates one product from another in the
marketplace.”Norio Ohga

“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s
vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the
meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul
of a man-made creation.”
Steve Jobs

“Most companies tend to equate branding with the company’s marketing. Design a new marketing
campaign and, voilà, you’re on course. They are wrong. The task is much bigger. It is about fulfilling our potential … not about a new logo, no matter how
clever. WHAT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE? WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE? HOW DO
I MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE? The brand has to give of itself, the company has to give of itself, the management has to give of itself. To

“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and myths. Companies will need to understand
that their products are less important than their stories.”
Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies

Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers;
favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power
as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity.

“Men seem like loose cannons. Men always move faster through a store’s
aisles. Men spend less time looking. They usually don’t like asking where things are.
You’ll see a man move impatiently through a store to the section he wants,
pick something up, and then, almost abruptly he’s ready to buy. For a
man, ignoring the price tag is almost a sign of virility.”

“It is obvious to a woman when another woman is upset, while a man generally has to physically witness
tears or a temper tantrum or be slapped in the face before he even has a clue that anything is going on. Like most female mammals, women are equipped with far more finely tuned
sensory skills than men.” Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps

“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes
to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest. This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub,
but can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”

and purchasing power – is the strongest and most dynamic force at work in the American
economy today. Dare I say it as a long-time Palo Alto resident … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN
THE INTERNET!Tom Peters

Notes to the CEO
--Women are not a “niche”; so get this out of the “Specialty Markets” group.--The competition is starting to catch on. (E.g.: Nike, Nokia, Wachovia, Ford, Harley-Davidson, Jiffy Lube, Charles Schwab, Citigroup, Aetna.)
--If you “dip your toes in the water,” what makes you think you’ll get splashy results?--Bust through the walls of the corporate silos.--Once you get her, don’t let her slip away.--Women ARE the long run!

“Advertisers pay more to reach the kid because they think that once someone hits
middle age he’s too set in his ways to be susceptible to advertising. … In fact this notion of impressionable kids and hidebound geezers is little more
than a fairy tale, a Madison Avenue gloss on Hollywood’s cult of
youth.”—James Surowiecki (The New Yorker/04.01.2002)

“Marketers attempts at reaching those over 50 have
been miserably unsuccessful. No market’s motivations and needs are so poorly understood.”—Peter
Francese, founding publisher, American Demographics

“Households headed by someone 40 or older enjoy 91% ($9.7T) of
our population’s net worth. … The mature market is the dominant
market in the U.S. economy, making the majority of
expenditures in virtually every category.” —Carol Morgan & Doran Levy, Marketing to
the Mindset of Boomers and Their Elders

“The mature market cannot be dismissed as entrenched in its
brand loyalties.” —Carol Morgan & Doran Levy, Marketing to the Mindset of Boomers and Their
Elders

“Focused on assessing the marketplace based on lifetime
value (LTV), marketers may dismiss the mature market as
headed to its grave. The reality is that at 60 a person in the U.S. may enjoy 20 or 30 years of life.” —Carol
Morgan & Doran Levy, Marketing to the Mindset of Boomers and Their Elders

“While the average American age 12 or older watched at least five
movies per year in a theater, those 40 and older were the most
frequent moviegoers, viewing 12 or more a year.”—Carol Morgan & Doran Levy, Marketing to the Mindset of Boomers and Their Elders
![Page 134: Tom Peters’ Extreme Business! Re-imagining Century21 Enterprise Home Depot/Atlanta/12.17.2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815bf2550346895dc9e2d9/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
“Women 65 and older spent $14.7 billion on apparel in 1999, almost as much as that spent by 25- to 34-year-
olds. While spending by the older women increased by 12% from the previous year, that of the younger group increased by only 0.1%. But
who in the fashion industry is currently pursuing this market?” —Carol

Discovery Process.

Leaders-Teachers Do Not “Transform People”!
Instead leaders-mentors-teachers (1) provide a context which is marked by (2) access to a luxuriant portfolio of meaningful opportunities (projects) which
(3) allow people to fully (and safely, mostly—caveat: “they” don’t engage unless they’re “mad about something”) express
their innate curiosity and (4) engage in a vigorous discovery voyage (alone and in small teams, assisted by an extensive self-constructed network) by which those people (5) go to-create places they (and their mentors-teachers-
leaders) had never dreamed existed—and then the leaders-mentors-teachers (6) applaud like hell, stage
“photo-ops,” and ring the church bells 100 times to commemorate the bravery of their
“followers’ ” explorations!

“If Microsoft is good at anything, it’s avoiding the trap of worrying about criticism. Microsoft fails constantly.
They’re eviscerated in public for lousy products. Yet they persist, through version after version, until they get
something good enough. Then they leverage the power they’ve gained in
other markets to enforce their standard.”Seth Godin, Zooming
