7 tips & tricksbefore I retire

Ex: IKEA and Swedish design in UK
2. Find the 3rd way
Ex: weekendesk / Bongo, Dulux – colour project
3. Find an other market
Ex: Playstation isn’t a game console, it’s home entertainment
4. Find a bigger meaning
Ex: Olive oil isn’t about oil, it’s about a healthy ‘ceasing life’-styleEurostar isn’t a train, it’s a destination
5. Look for ‘the other side’
Aka: what is surprisingly uncommon?
Ex: Dove – real women, Ebay – unwanted presents, Burger King – delist the Whopper
6. Use a distant parallel
AKA: steal great ideas« the Rolls Royce of beers », …
Ex: IKEA – shopwalk based on MoMA New York
7. First prove, then promise
AKA: if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist
Ex: Domino’s Pizza, MELK – Leon case, $73.000 bar tab
