Every New Thing

The context we work within is decisive in determining what is possible. An outdated view of what is going on increases the risk of being left behind. Based upon almost 20 years of ongoing research, we provide seven key principles and 40 key distinctions for re-defining the context in which your organization operates and your strategic plans for the future. The ‘Every New Thing’ program specifically enables you to leapfrog your competitors by developing new products and services.

The seven key principles for generating new products or services are:
Inform: tell me something
Electronify: make me electronic and let me do new things
Discern: work it out for me
Relate: work with me
Displace: free me from my location
Personalize: make it just for me
Virtualize: give me the effect without the effort

Note: 'Every New Thing' is an updated, revised and expanded version of 'Every New Product'. An updated version of 'Every New Thing' will be available online shortly.

Every New Thing - The Program

Depending on your intended outcome, this program is offered as either a open-ended or a specific program.

The open-ended program is a series of discussions designed to expand your awareness of the key technologies and opportunities in your business and in your industry. In this way we provide the fuel for you to create new products and services. The format is through workshop style discussions and experiential learning. This program is offered as a half day introductory workshop, a one or two day workshop, or as a program of sessions held over several weeks. This may be as a one-off series of events or to establish a Trendspotters group.

The specific program is directly geared to invent new products and services for your organization. This program is custom designed to suit your needs and budget and may include:
A series of workshop style discussions and experiential learning.
