3Good management was the most powerful reason
leading firms failed to stay atop their
industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested
aggressively in technologies that would provide
their customers more and better products of the
sort they wanted, and because they carefully
studied market trends and systematically
allocated investment capital to innovations that
promised the best returns, they lost their
positions of leadership.Clayton Christensen,

40WHATS OUR STORY?
41EXACTLY HOW ARE WE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT?
42We 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.Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen

have to define yourself based on a point of view
you care deeply about. Tom Chappell, Toms of

50Men seem like loose cannons. Men always move
faster through a stores aisles. Men spend less
time looking. They usually dont like asking
where things are. Youll see a man move
impatiently through a store to the section he
wants, pick something up, and then, almost
abruptly hes ready to buy. For a man, ignoring
the price tag is almost a sign of
virility.Paco Underhill, Why We Buy (Buy
