NEW PARADIGM Sell your idea first Find your actors (audience) first Size does not matter - Plenty Offish Reduce risk by pushing control out Value creation increases at the edge Decentralize authority, process, and IP Transparency creates value Truth travels fast Price alone is not sustainable Reengineer your value chain

Skip intermediaries wherever possible Reinvent your business models Change the status quo

Democratization of 4Ps paradigm Citizen branding Collective collaboration Collective risk sharing Collective product innovation Collective IP ownership

Citizen marketers will sell “remarkable” ideas Innovators should adopt the 1% rule

If you don’t find the “sneezers” or connectors, the 80/20% rule won’t matter Work backwards

Build your brand around your idea first. If the community you are targeting does not coalesce and rally around the idea, continuing to build the product is irrelevant

Create your own “blue ocean” If you play it safe and go by the rules of your industry, value chain, and business

model – you’re dead! Most industries and markets are saturated and highly concentrated.

NEW PARADIGM

NEW VALUE INNOVATION PARADIGM

IT’S ABOUT SOCIAL BEHAVIOR It’s not about a cheaper product or your idea. Try to change

customer behavior. It’s not about better coffee – it’s about the place I am not looking for a ¼” drill bit – I need to make a hole It’s not about the hog, it’s about a lifestyle It’s not about the sound – it’s about how it makes me feel It’s not about the sound – it’s about being hip It’s about my space It’s about my video It’s about my opinion It’s about the experience It’s about your choices, places, and time
