Thieves Steal To Help Create the
World They Desire

To Be.

Normative Thinking.
133
Normative Thinking Means Exploration
134
Exploration is Messy
135
But real insight occurs when you
make a mess
(the kind that enable true reframing)
136
Mess > Magic

141
Selling is Good
142
Sharing is Better
143
Transforming is Best
144
How Do You Steal Things and
Transform Them?
145
Open Source Your Methods
(don’t just sell them or share them)

Bazzar

the Poor
154

155
IAs Steal From Everyone To Rapidly

Always Be Briefing (insights are for closers)
160
A Planner is NOT Their Brief
161
A Planner IS Their Briefing
162
In a 2.0 world where everything is in Beta
163
Your Methods Become Your
Briefing
164
You need method innovation to stay relevant in a world where everything is
free
165
So take a page from Information Architecture
(and Robin Hood)
166
Be a great thief
167
Don’t be afraid to get messy
168
Think normative (like Robin Hood)
169
Share what you steal (let others steal from you)
CHANGE

Methods Are The Man Behind The
Curtain.
