Tom Peters’ Seminar2002:
We Are In A Brawl With No
Rules!MasterCard/Sevilla/28May2002
CONTEXT
Confusion Reigns.
“There will be more
confusion in the business world in the next decade than in any decade in history. And the current pace of
change will only accelerate.”Steve Case
The Destruction Imperative.
“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more
and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and
systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost
their positions of leadership.”
Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma
W.I.W.?

categories. (The “billion-dollar” problem.)

“Instead of having the brand be seen as good-better-best for the same type of clothing, they’ve
got to give it more uniqueness.” —David Martin,
Interbrand US, on The Gap’s problems
Deviants, Inc. “Deviance tells the story of every mass
market ever created. What starts out weird and dangerous
becomes America’s next big corporate payday. So are you looking for the next mass market idea? It’s out there … way
out there.”

eLiza!** “Self-bootstrapping”/ “Artilects”
“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
Case: CRM
“CRM has, almost universally, failed
to live up to expectations.”
Butler Group (UK)
CGE&Y (Paul Cole): “Pleasant
Transaction” vs. “Systemic Opportunity.” “Better job
of what we do today” vs. “Re-think overall
enterprise strategy.”
RESPONSE
The Heart of the Value- Added Revolution:
The “Solutions Imperative.”
Base Case: The Sameness Trap
“The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of
similar companies, employing
similar people, with similar educational backgrounds, working in
similar jobs, coming up with similar
ideas, producing similar things, with
similar prices and similar quality.”
Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale, Funky Business
“Customers will try ‘low cost
providers’ … because the Majors have not
given them any clear reason not to.”
Leading Insurance Industry Analyst
Getting Beyond Lip Service!
“No longer are we only an insurance provider. Today, we also offer our customers the products and services that help them achieve their dreams, whether it’s financial
security, buying a car, paying for home repairs, or even taking a dream
vacation.”—Martin Feinstein, CEO, Farmers Group
PSF Unbound+: It’s the
EXPERIENCE.
“Experiences are as distinct from services as services are from
goods.”Joseph Pine & James Gilmore, The Experience Economy:
Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage
“Club Med is more than just a ‘resort’; it’s a means of rediscovering oneself, of inventing an
entirely new ‘me.’ ”

“Guinness as a brand is all about community.
It’s about bringing people together and sharing
stories.”—Ralph Ardill, Imagination, in re Guinness Storehouse
Experience: “Rebel Lifestyle!”
“What we sell is the ability for a 43-year-old accountant to dress in black leather, ride
through small towns and have people be afraid of him.”
Harley exec, quoted in Results-Based Leadership
Bob Lutz: “I see us as being in the art business. Art,
entertainment and mobile sculpture, which,
coincidentally, also happens to provide transportation.”

Design’s place in the universe.
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
Bottom Line.
THE BASE CASE: I am a design fanatic. Though not “artistic,” I love “cool stuff.” But it goes [much]
further, far beyond the personal. Design has become a professional obsession. I SIMPLY BELIEVE THAT DESIGN PER SE IS THE PRINCIPAL
REASON FOR EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT [or detachment] RELATIVE TO A PRODUCT OR
SERVICE OR EXPERIENCE. Design, as I see it, is
arguably the #1 DETERMINANT of whether a product-service-experience stands out … or doesn’t.
Furthermore, it’s another “one of those things” that damn few companies put – consistently – on the
front burner.
KEY WORDS: Partners in creating Memorable, Value-added Solutions/ Successes/ Experiences for our Customers.
WHICH REQUIRES: Total Enterprise Responsiveness … beyond functional walls.
It all adds up to …
THE BRAND.
The Heart of Branding …
“WHO ARE WE?”
“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
put it bluntly, it is a matter of whether – or not – you want to be … UNIQUE … NOW.”
Jesper Kunde, A Unique Moment
“WHAT’S OUR
STORY?”
“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
“Apple opposes, IBM solves, Nike exhorts,
Virgin enlightens, Sony dreams, Benetton
protests. … Brands are not nouns but verbs.”

way, don’t buy for the same reasons.”

connections.”

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.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Resting” State: 30%, 90%: “A woman knows her children’s
friends, hopes, dreams, romances, secret fears, what they are
thinking, how they are feeling. Men are vaguely aware of some short people also living in the house.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Female hearing advantage contributes significantly to what is
called ‘women’s intuition’ and is one of the reasons why a woman can read between the lines of what people say. Men, however, shouldn’t despair.
They are excellent at imitating animal sounds.”

Connecting Your Female Consumers to Each

“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked,
‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every
detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ”

What If …
“What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women
interview and make a choice of car pool partners?”
“What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters
through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s
skills?”

brands. They join them.”

“Sony Electronics has a well-earned reputation for persistence. The company’s first entry into a
new field often isn’t very good. But,
as it has shown in laptops, Sony will keep trying until it gets
it right.”Business Week (5/01)
“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
“Fail faster. Succeed sooner.”
