Simply Brilliant: How Great Organizations Do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways

Product Information

Offer outrageous value - so many businesses in the book had outcomes that were not only better than standard for their industry but were exponentially better, to the extent that their results would be thought impossible if they weren't getting them actively and consistently. USAA, the legendary financial-services brand for soldiers, teaches employees to relate to their customers by immersing them in military culture. It’s more than just a company, it’s a cause. An entrepreneur is someone who does more than anyone thinks possible with less than anyone thinks possible Cosmedix Simply Brilliant Serum ingredients work in synergy with the skin. By avoiding harmful additives that lead to irritation and can compromise skin barrier function. Short-term skin benefits should not come at the cost you pay for long-term healthy, beautiful skin. An award-winning hospital and healthcare system in Anchorage that has produced remarkable health outcomes among the long-troubled Alaska Native population. The secret is not advanced technology, but a renewed sense of humanity.

Businesses differentiate by doing things differently, not by attempting to do the same things as everyone else better. This can be applied to any industry. The example used in the book was cross-country bus routes, which was a stagnant/ dying industry. Megabus is certainly not a dying company. Miami Beach’s dazzling 1111 Lincoln Road reimagined the humble parking garage as a high-profile public space that hosts weddings, yoga classes, and celebrity gatherings.

Far away from Silicon Valley, in familiar, traditional, even unglamorous fields, ordinary people are unleashing extraordinary advances that amaze customers, energize employees, and create huge economic value. Their secret? They understand that the work of inventing the future doesn’t just belong to geeks designing mobile apps and virtual-reality headsets, or to social-media entrepreneurs hoping to launch the next Facebook. Some of today’s most compelling organizations are doing brilliant things in simple settings such as retail banks, office cleaning companies, department stores, small hospitals, and auto dealerships. Let's start with the main ideas - stand out, take care of your employees and be truly client-oriented - that we see in almost every second marketing book, which makes every subsequent one more boring and boring. The author offers us companies that stand out among the competitors and treat both their employees and customers with respect. This may or may not be the case. We don't know for sure because the author gives very superficial information. Maybe it is, as the author writes, or maybe it was something else that was a factor of success. Alas, but this is a frequent problem of such literature. That's why I'm not surprised anymore when a company, which was written about so much, becomes bankrupt. The halo effect often shines directly into our eyes, which is why we do not see the true reasons for success. Therefore, the book is more for business literature fans, but not for narrow specialists in marketing or management. Bill Taylor has done it again.
