“By definition they
are not obvious. In
fact, they seem
insane. If they didn’t
seem insane at the
time, they wouldn’t
be breakthroughs” Source: http://ilovefaygoslushies.deviantart.com/art/Insane-Base-415796210
5. PETER DRUCKER,
“BECAUSE THE PURPOSE OF BUSINESS IS TO
CREATE A CUSTOMER, THE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
HAS TWO – AND ONLY TWO – BASIC
FUNCTIONS: MARKETING AND INNOVATION.
MARKETING AND INNOVATION PRODUCE
RESULTS; ALL THE REST ARE COSTS.”

12. ARIE DE GEUS,
“RESILIENT, LONG-LIVED COMPANIES ARE
THOSE THAT EXHIBIT CERTAIN OF THE
BEHAVIOURS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF
LIVING ENTITIES.”
✤ Strong sense of community and
collective identity around a set of
common values
✤ Community where all members know that
they will be supported in their
endeavors to achieve their own goals – as well
as the global goals of the community
✤ Openness to the outside world, tolerance for the
entry of new individuals and ideas – in
essence a manifest ability to learn
and adapt to new circumstances

WITH NEW EYES”

WHAT BUSINESS ARE WE IN AND IS IT THE RIGHT BUSINESS?!
!
CAN WE CREATE FUNDAMENTALLY NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES?!
!
CAN WE REDEFINE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
AND SERVICES SO THAT NEW NICHES EMERGE? !
!
CAN WE STRUCTURE OUR ORGANIZATION AROUND BUSINESS
PROCESSES THAT REFLECT A CUSTOMER VIEWPOINT RATHER THAN THE
INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL DEPARTMENTAL STRUCTURES?!
!
CAN WE REDESIGN BUSINESS PROCESSES IN A WAY THAT WILL
INCREASE THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTION AND REDUCE COSTS?!
!
CAN WE REPLACE OUR ORGANIZATIONAL HIERARCHY WITH A
NETWORK OF SELF-ARRANGED TEAMS?!
