I have a wish…

To support as many corporations as possible in the

transformation process from PUSH PROGRAMS to PULL PLATFORMS

“Pull platforms harness their participants passion, commitment, desire to learn, thereby creating communities that can improvise and innovate rapidly.”

Push and PullPush Programs Pull Platforms Demand can be anticipated Demand is highly uncertain Top down design Emergent design Centralized control Decentralized initiative Procedural Modular Tightly coupled Loosely coupled Resource centric People centric Participation restricted Participation open Few participants Many diverse participants Efficiency focus Innovation focus Limited number of major Rapid incremental innovation re-engineering efforts Zero sum rewards Positive sum rewards Extrinsic rewards dominate Intrinsic rewards dominate

All about Intrinsic growth

‘Self Actualization is the intrinsic growth of what is already in the

organism, or more accurately, of what the organism is’

Maslow

‘Non-zero-sum games increase the rewards for all those who commit to participate in the exchange over a long

period’

Robert Wright

Contributing to “the group”

Play, Purpose and ProfitIn a connected world everybody needs to chip in to make “the group” stronger

A connected world creates a level of comfort to focus on play

In a connected world profit motivation does not benefit all

Part 3

Industrial age…the lead character was the mass production worker

Information age…the lead character became the knowledge worker

Conceptual age…belongs to the creator, the empathizer, the pattern

recognizer and the meaning maker. In other words all who master R-directed thinking.

“Far more powerful and enduring is to align people with a purpose beyond profit. A hope that their endeavours at work are

meaningful in the big scheme of things. It's not as if we are short of opportunities to

make positive changes to our world, is it!”

Tom Peters 

Purpose Driven Innovation

ContributionMarketing

Holism

Three tools to change

1. Purpose Driven InnovationProduction is oriented on input/output. It basically answers the “what” question. In the current meaning seeking market as a corporation you first need to answer the “Why?” question. The why gives purpose.

Be honest. What would your customer think of your answer? The formulation of the “why” answer should take into account all stakeholders.

It requires that the creators look beyond the traditional profit or growth motivation.

CorporationConsumer

Answer the “why” question!

Products do you want?Trends do you follow?Channels do you shop?Category do you fit?

Are you here?Do want my time?

Do want my money?

The analysis of data will not by itself produce new ideas – Edward de Bono

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit “Aristotle

2. Contribution marketing1. Wish2. Choose your “object” of excellence3. Create a Purpose Statement4. Believe your Purpose Statement5. Facilitate on open platform(s)6. Co-create

Marketing as a Service“We need to use marketing as a chance to do something for people,

not an excuse to say things to them” - Zeus Jones

3. Holism

"We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered is the Earth.“Bill Anders (Apollo 8)

About meAfter more than 10 years in the consumer marketing & sales space working for several large retailers, Nokia Networks, Nokia Mobile Phones and KPN, it was time to spread my wings. From this summer I started Mobminds. A micro agency focusing on Strategic Innovation. That is my passion. Change that matters!
