Christopher Simmons - http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/what-design-cant-do If you want to be a brand, you have to work from the inside out. A great logo isn’t going to make a shitty product any less shitty, any more than a hard worker is going to make a bad boss a compelling leader.’

strategy is simple 1. Have a vision of a future state 2. Set goal to help achieve vision 3. Work out plan to achieve goal 4. Execute plan 5. Celebrate

coming up with a strategy is the easy part. 1. Being brave enough to share a vision (that might be wrong) 2. Being brave enough to set a goal (and stick to it long enough) 3. 4. Be able to maintain focus on executing strategy (allowing for feedback to correct path but not be distracted) 5.

‘With respect to the definition of business purpose and business mission, there is only one such focus, one starting point. It is the customer. The customer defines the business’ - Peter Drucker Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

What the customer thinks he or she is buying, what he or she considers value is decisive – it determines what a business is, what it produces, and whether it will prosper. And what the customer buys and considers value is never a product. It is always a utility – that is, what a product or service does for him or her. And what is value for the customer is anything but obvious. - Peter Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice
