Key takeaways — Abundance
- ✓ Gamitin ang Incentive Prizes at Gamification upang pabilisin ang pananaliksik at pag-unlad ng iyong organisasyon, na nag-aakit sa pinakamahusay na problem-solvers mula sa hindi tradisyunal na mga larangan sa iyong mga stratehikong hamon.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang Dematerialization, na nagpapakita na ang teknolohiya ay nagbibigay-daan upang makapaghatid ng mga serbisyong may mataas na halaga (tulad ng kamera o GPS) na halos walang karagdagang gastos sa pamamagitan ng pag-transform nito sa software.
- ✓ Ituon ang misyon ng iyong organisasyon sa Pagsusulusyon sa Malalaking Hamon, na nagtutugma sa paglago ng iyong kumpanya sa mga pinaka-urgent na pangangailangan ng 'Rising Billion' para sa isang malakihang estratehikong epekto.
Key takeaways — Misbehaving
- ✓ Isaalang-alang ang pag-iwas sa pagkalugi: mas matindi ang takot ng tao na mawalan ng 100 dolyar kaysa ang pagnanais na kumita nito.
- ✓ Pagandahin ang ‘architectural choice’ sa produkto at opisina upang mahikayat ang mga tao sa tamang desisyon bilang default.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang mental accounting ng mga kliyente para sa mas epektibong pagpepresyo at marketing.
