T.T.D.s The 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.) Tom Peters
21
T.T.D./True or False: “incrementalism” VERSUS “innovation”?
22
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!
23
Seminar Y2K Brand Everything : Distinct or Extinct!
24
Brand It! Now, More Than Ever! “The increasing difficulty in differentiating between products and the speed with which competitors take up innovations will assist in the rise and rise of the brand.” Gillian Law and Nick Grant, Management [New Zealand]

Forget > Learn “The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.” Dee Hock
28
“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
29
“Acquisitions are about buying market share. Our challenge is to create markets. There is a big difference.” Peter Job, CEO, Reuters
30
“We chose not to do a discounted cash flow analysis of their future earnings. We wanted their talent and we wanted their intellectual property.” Art Reidel, CEO, Pharsight
31
“Our ideal acquisition is a small startup that has a great technology product on the drawing board that is going to come out in six to twelve months. We buy the engineers and the next generation product. …” John Chambers, Cisco

37
Notes Page 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.
38
T.T.D. Evaluate your portfolio of projects [and people]: Are you placing enough interesting [long shot?] bets?
39
Notes Page Be brutally honest! Hint: This holds for you and me as individuals as well as for our unit.

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.” Fast Company (03-00)

T.T.D. Discuss: Is my “90% in 10+ years” extreme?
61
Notes Page 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.

T.T.D. Does your vision involve a critical position in the industry’s Spider’s Web?
68
Notes Page 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?

87
“You really got to me. So many of our information technology projects take on a life of their own, and I know they’ll never end up as more than ‘mediocre successes.’ ” CEO, F100 financial services company (10-98)

WOW Project Anatomy I. Create! II. Sell! III. Implement! IV. Exit!

I. Create! Reframe! THERE ARE NO “SMALL” PROJECTS! Observe & Record!! Head for the trenches! You gotta love it! Measure: WOW!, Beauty, Raving Fans, Impact! Build a no-baloney Business Plan Create community. Now! Obsess on … the End User. Now!
90
Reframers’ Rules: Rule 1: Never accept an assignment as given! Rule 2: You’re never so powerful as when you are “powerless”! Rule 3: Every “small” project contains the entire enterprise DNA!
91
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?
92
Notes Page 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”?
93
Measures –WOW! –Beauty! –Raving Fans! –Impact!
94
E.g.: WOW Scale 1. … Dull as dishwater. 5. … Gets the job done. 7. … “Good work!”. 10. … A serious “Braggable”!
95
T.T.D. MEASURE … NOW … P-L-E-A-S-E!
96
Notes Page NO BALONEY: THIS IS MY #1 GOAL FOR THE WHOLE DAMN SEMINAR … THAT YOU [AND YOURS] WILL MEASURE EVERY PROJECT AGAINST MY FOUR KEY CRITERIA: WOW!, BEAUTY, RAVING FANS, IMPACT. [P-L-E-A-S-E.]

WOW Project “Acid Test” Can you explain it - with zest - to your 14-year-old?
101
“Every project we take on starts with a question: How can we do what’s never been done before?” Stuart Hornery, CEO, Lend Lease
102
II. Sell! Master “The Pitch”! Build Buzz. Consciously. Network maniacally! Preach to the choir! Forget your enemies. [Surround and marginalize!] Money kills! SELL, SELL, SELL!
103
III. Implement! - Live, eat, sleep … Quick Prototype! - Play! - Keep on recruiting! (Sell!) - Obsess on the End User Community! (Sell!) - Become a Milestone Maniac! / a Timeline Tyrant! / a List Freak! / find Ms. Last 2%! - Appoint a Marketing Director! - Keep the WOW! front and center!
104
Culture of Prototyping “Effective prototyping may be the most valuable core competence an innovative organization can hope to have.” Michael Schrage
105
“You can’t be a serious innovator unless and until you are ready, willing and able to seriously play. ‘Serious play’ is not an oxymoron; it is the essence of innovation.” Michael Schrage, Serious Play
106
Think about It!? Innovation = Reaction to the Prototype Michael Schrage
107
T.T.D./ Prototyper’s Laws Define 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.]
108
Notes Page The idea is to establish a “rhythm of prototyping” that defines every project.
109
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”!
110
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!
111
K2K
112
IV. Exit! “Sell out!” / Embrace “The Suits”! Recruit a passionate Ms./Mr. Follow-up! Seed your freaks into the mainstream! Celebrate! Exit!
113
SOOOO … HOW MANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE “BACK HOME” AT WORK ON NO-BALONEY … WOW* PROJECTS! * WOW = Will be remembered fondly/ bragged about 5+ years from now
114
Epitaph from Hell … Joe T. Jones 1942 - 2000 HE WOULDA DONE SOME REALLY COOL STUFF BUT … HIS BOSS WOULDN’T LET HIM!

116
Notes Page DO IT! NOW!

Personal “Brand Equity” Evaluation –I am known for [2 to 3 things]; next year at this time I’ll also be known for [1 more thing]. –My current Project is challenging me … –New things I’ve learned in the last 90 days include … –My public “recognition program” consists of … –Additions to my Rolodex in the last 90 days include … –My resume is discernibly different from last year’s at this time …

127
Notes Page Soooooo … perform a PBE evaluation. VERY CAREFULLY! Do alone. With spouse or best pal. With an informal group of colleagues. As boss: Make this a regular, major exercise; perhaps include [or make centerpiece of] the formal HR evaluation scheme. My categories are not sacrosanct, merely suggestive. [Hint: This process is proven!]
128

Notes Page So … how is it? MY 18-YEAR-OLD SON HAS ONE! It’s fly-phat.
136
R.D.A. Rate: 15%?, 25%? Therefore: Formal “Investment Strategy”/ R.I.P.
137
R.I.P. 10 … Major job change [new area of concentration]; major offsite educational investment; extensive sabbatical [oddball learning experience of > 2 months]; exceptional community project [presidency of fundraising drive, run for school board].
138
R.I.P. 5... Extensive course work in oddball area of passionate interest; major off- the-job activity [community involvement, learn to play the cello, study Chinese]. 1 … Company training, as directed.
139
T.T.D./Your R.I.P. IS IT … FORMAL? IS IT... WOW!?
140
Notes Page We think “R.I.P.s” are imperative! So … please take these two questions seriously and literally!
141
T.T.D./R.I.P. Use by yourself. Use with your mates. Use [quantitatively?] as a measure of departmental/ P.S.F. renewal. Use in formal eval process.
142
Notes Page The whole idea is to make “R.I.P.s” a/the centerpiece – formally – of measuring unit “freshness.” E.g.: SCORE EVERYONE’S “R.I.P.” ON ITS BOLDNESS/WOW.
143
Training Y2K Anytime, anywhere! Whatever! Concocted by the employee [“Training Account”]
144
Tapping into Intrinsic Motivation “If you, David Weinberger, want to make your customers happy, it’s more to demonstrate that you’re a capable dude – not because you’re concerned for your client’s mental state.” from The Cluetrain Manifesto
145
“The pursuit of working free is not the pursuit of freedom from responsibility or from the demands of bosses, companies or customers. It is about choosing to work in a way that is truly responsible to yourself – a way that is in synch with your own choices, values and concerns.” Tim Gallwey, The Inner Game of Work
146
Self-control = Engagement = Effectiveness* * “How Pilots Fly the Plane Varies a Lot from Airline to Airline” (WSJ/031400); PD on mbo
147
“Everything can be taken from man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one’s own attitude in any set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Victor Frankl, Auschwitz survivor
148
T.T.D./So…. HOW DO WE TURN THIS INTO A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL GREAT ABOUT THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE?
149
Notes Page If our Cluetrain Manifesto pals are right, a lot of the “do or die for the customer” stuff is pure hooey. What we need is folks out to improve – daily! – on their Personal Bests. WHAT CAN WE DO TO FOSTER THAT? Hint: this rings true to me as a seminar giver in 2000 and a waiter back in the 1960s. A “great night” had lots more to do with “satisfying me” than “serving the customer.”

“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
