“T.T.D.” activities. I.e.: Things To Do. These are by and large shorthand forms of training exercises I use.

T.T.D./True or False:
“incrementalism”
VERSUS“innovation”?
![Page 19: Tom Peters’ Y2K Lessons in Leadership Baltimore 02-25-00](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011722/5a4d1ae57f8b9ab059978dee/html5/thumbnails/19.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!

Q: What do you do when you are a big,
dopey company and out of ideas?
![Page 28: Tom Peters’ Y2K Lessons in Leadership Baltimore 02-25-00](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011722/5a4d1ae57f8b9ab059978dee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A: You merge with another big,
dopey company that doesn’t
have any ideas either.

“When asked to name just one big merger that had lived up to
expectations, Leon Cooperman, former cochairman of Goldman
Sachs’ Investment Policy Committee, answered: ‘I’m sure there are success stories out there, but at this moment I
draw a blank.’ ”
Mark Sirower, The Synergy Trap

“I feel betrayed. I bought stock in a company that was going to change the world. I didn’t buy a big, fat, stupid conglomerate. And now
I’ve got one.”Alan Towers, consultant, quoted in Business Week

Notes Page
• Discuss the idea of “learning” versus “forgetting.” I THINK THIS IS A LOT MORE THAN A “SEMANTICS DEBATE.” Assuming you agree with me, what – very specific – steps are you taking to move beyond the Assumptions du Jour? Hint: This holds for a 1999 dot.com startup as much as for an elderly company.

• What do “G.M.s” do? [Invite one to talk to your group.] Do you do what they do? If not, why not? How about a “G.M. Strategy”?
• Repeat the above for the Life of a Venture Capitalist.

• I admit that some say I’m over-the-top here. I honestly don’t think I am. Try and imagine your HR/Whatever Dept. fully automated with numerous tasks outsourced … to India or Ireland.

• Try to depict your industry … or your department … with all its interconnections. E.g.: What if every task you perform became a “for profit” task in which you became an “industry expert”? E.g.: As an HR Dept. in the utility industry, what if you started the premier dot.com industry Talent Bank?

T.T.D.Examine that “small”/
“annoying” project you’re working on. Can it be re-cast as
a WOW/ Culture Change Project? What are the hidden
assumptions about customers/ suppliers/ employees?

• I am adamant: Every project can be made into a “big deal” if your head is in the right place. So … now … COMPLETELY RE-INVENT THAT “SMALL” PROJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON! No bull! E.g.: What about a “Memorial Day Employee Picnic that signals a whole new attitude toward our staff”?

Culture of Prototyping
“Effective prototyping may be the most valuable core
competence an innovative organization can hope to
have.”Michael Schrage

T.T.D./ Prototyper’s LawsDefine a small, practical test of something on a
page or less of text. Now.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.Conduct the test! Debrief A.S.A.P.
Set the next test date. Now. [No more than 5 days hence.]

Notes Page
• The idea is to establish a “rhythm of prototyping” that defines every project.

T.T.D./ Secret No. 1: Go horizontal: Find a (one!) “line” ally in “the Boonies”
Secret No. 2: “Powerless” allies are Cool!
Secret No. 3: Passion Rules!Secret No. 4: Become a Prototyping
Maniac! Secret No. 5: Embrace Politics /
“Community Organizing”!

Notes Page• Main Idea: YOU ARE NOT “POWERLESS.” Seek
out allies in strange places … and get going! DO NOT WASTE TIME “SELLING UP.”
• Attitude: You are the Gandhi/King of your “mission.”
• So: IDENTIFY THE FOLKS YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH RE THAT INCREDIBLY COOL IDEA YOU HAVE!

They can post creative, informative pages that express their interests, correct the mistakes in the official technical documentation or point to
the industry analyst’s report the company doesn’t want anyone to read. They can write a ‘zine that parodies the company line savagely,
play backgammon on line or blow up their colleagues in a ruthless game of Quake. …”

aisles. Men spend less time looking. They usually don’t like asking where things are.

man, ignoring the price tag is almost a sign of virility.”

And Tomorrow …
“Fifteen years ago companies competed on price. Now It’s quality. Tomorrow it’s
design.”Robert Hayes

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

Jerry Hirshberg, Nissan Design International

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
![Page 323: Tom Peters’ Y2K Lessons in Leadership Baltimore 02-25-00](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022011722/5a4d1ae57f8b9ab059978dee/html5/thumbnails/323.jpg)
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

“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

“Corporate Religion is a completely new way of thinking about companies. Today, the product is still the main communication
highway in the company. When companies make the shift to selling solutions, brands and attitudes … communicating the company’s
attitudes and values becomes the decisive parameter for success. It
demands that you find out who you are as a company.”
Jesper Kunde, Corporate Religion

“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.”
Jesper Kunde, Corporate Religion

“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.”

“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.”

“If you want to be persuasive, you have to generate a high level of energy. It’s energy that makes you visible, that gives you
presence. I call it ‘performance energy,’ and it’s the basis of dynamic leadership.
There is nothing artificial about it. Performance energy is an authentic part of who you are. You
just have to access it.”
