Did the second worker motivate himself, or was he inspired by his boss? (Receptionist) (Cleaners) (Maori storyteller)
People are meaning makers and meaning seekers (CFO)
Purpose is the most powerful motivator in the world. The secret of passion and energy truly is purpose A cause to stand for unleashes energy, no matter if its one about creating incredible experiences for people who give you business or one that involves saving the world When you shift from self-centredness to a heart-felt commitment to serve, your life cannot help but explode into success ROBIN SHARMA
My proposition is that an organisation with a big ideal, a higher purpose, a crusade Is more attractive to customers/prospects Is more motivating to employees Who act out of instinct and not just the rule book To deliver a better and differentiated customer experience Information economy to purpose economy (emerging)
But, does purpose make money?
A partnership between Jim Stengel (global marketing officer for P&G and Millward Brown Optimor (world s largest brand equity database) Wanted to understand what drove the world s fastest growing businesses 50,000 brands over 10 years, covering boom and bust times Drilled down into the top 50 to understand what the world s best brand value builders had in common (Read Chapter 2 of Grow for detail) The team was totally unprepared for what they found
The world s fastest-growing enterprises were organised around ideals of improving people s lives and activated these ideals through their business ecosystems. Ideals-driven companies inspire their consumers, inspire their employees and outperform their competitors. I ve studied this, I ve seen it, I ve experienced it, and I believe it s the only way forward. JIM STENGEL
The world s best brands are built around a big ideal. They serve a bigger purpose that extends beyond the category. Their brands are committed to making a difference in the lives of their customers. They tap into universal human values. They have a point of view and they invite consumers to share in their point of view.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FROM THE HEART IDEAL
VS A SOULLESS EXPEREINCE
THE BIG QUESTION: How does (could) my organisation make a positive difference in the lives of my customers (in a way my competitors don t?)
What grieves us about how... market is currently served? What do we believe about the industry, what s our point of view? What do/could we stand for? Against? Really? What could we change or put right? How could we make a difference?
