T.T.D.sThe next slide is the first of many
“T.T.D.” activities. I.e.: Things To Do. These are by and large shorthand forms of training exercises I use.
Also: Most of these T.T.D. slides have accompanying Notes.(See following slide.)

T.T.D./True or False:
“incrementalism”
VERSUS
“innovation”?
![Page 22: Distinct or … Extinct Tom Peters Seminar2000 Boston 21 June 2000](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56812f4e550346895d94df90/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Notes Page• This is a daunting issue. There is no “right answer.”
But it merits constant, conscious debate. Consider the value of incremental change. [Kaizen, etc.] And discuss whether or not this thwarts “BIG” initiatives aimed at wholesale reinvention.
• Also: Consider … “Can we do both?” [I’m not sure.] P.S.: This crucial issue holds for Finance Departments as much as Product Divisions. And it holds for the smallest and newest of businesses! THIS DEBATE IS WORTH LOTS OF TIME! KEEP IT PRACTICAL!

“But what if [former head of strategic planner at Royal Dutch Shell] Arie de Geus is wrong in
suggesting, in The Living Company, that firms should aspire to live forever? Greatness is
fleeting and, for corporations, it will become ever more fleeting. The ultimate aim of a
business organization, an artist, an athlete or a stockbroker may be to explode in a dramatic
frenzy of value creation during a short space of time, rather than to live forever.”

Built to Last v. Built to Flip
“The problem with Built to Last is that it’s a romantic notion. Large companies are
incapable of ongoing innovation, of ongoing flexibility.”
“Increasingly, successful businesses will be ephemeral. They will be built to yield
something of value – and once that value has been exhausted, they will vanish.”

Gather “found” materials … on the [very] cheap.
Find a/one partner-“customer” who’ll provide a test site.
Set a very tight deadline of about 5 days for the next concrete step.

“You must realize that how you invest your human capital matters as much as how you
invest your financial capital. Its rate of return determines your future options. Take a job for what it teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a potential employer asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’
you’ll ask, ‘If I invest my mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will they
appreciate? How much will my portfolio of career options grow?’ ”

“I make 1/3rd more money than my husband does. I have as much financial
‘pull’ in the relationship as he does. I’d say this is also true of most of my women
friends. Someone should wake up, smell the coffee and kiss our asses long enough
to sell us something! We have money to
spend and nobody wants it!”

entrepreneurs because it is the thing to do, or even the right thing to do.

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

Drop-dead Charm!
“The new Beetle fails at most categories. The only

Object of Desire!
“Every now and then, a design comes along that radically changes the way we think about a particular object. Case in
point: the iMac. Suddenly, a computer is no longer an anonymous box. It is a
sculpture, an object of desire, something that you look at.”
Katherine McCoy, Michael McCoy, Illinois Institute of Technology

Design as Soul
“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

Brand = Trust!
“Most buyers do not have a clue whether anybody else makes a better microprocessor, but ‘Intel Inside’ has become a ‘trust mark’ - a trademark that consumers put their faith in.”
The Economist

What Can [Can’t] Be Branded?“Branding is not a problem if you have the right mentality. You go to your team and
you pin up a $200 Swiss Army Watch. Competing in the ridiculously crowded
sub-$200 watch market, they made it into a brand name, named after the most
irrelevant and useless thing in history [the Swiss Army]. And you say, ‘Gang, if they
can do it, we can do it.’ ”
Barry Gibbons

“Salt is salt is salt. Right? Not when it

“Consumers don’t simply buy products, they buy attitudes as well. When confronted with proliferation and
diversity, choices become increasingly informed by belief. [Consumers] want to
know who is behind the products that they buy. They want to know the
company. They want to know what you think.”

“A Great Brand taps into emotions. Emotions drive most, if not all, of our decisions. A brand reaches out with a powerful connecting experience. It’s an
emotional connecting point that transcends the product.
“A Great Brand is a story that’s never completely told. A brand is a metaphorical story that
connects with something very deep - a fundamental appreciation of mythology.
Stories create the emotional context people need to locate themselves in a larger experience.”
