Better By Design
The Design49
Tom
Peters/Auckland/30March2005
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
1. There are only 2 rules.
2. Rule #1: You can’t beat Wal*Mart on price or China on cost.
3. Rule #2: See Rule #1.
4. Econ Survival = Innovate and Sprint Up the Value-added
Chain … OR DIE!
5. DESIGN (WRIT LARGE) (“DESIGN MINDFULNESS”) IS THE
“SOUL”/ENGINE OF THE NEW VALUE-ADDED IMPERATIVE.
6. Design as Soul-Core Competence #1 is a “cultural imperative,” not
a “programmatic” or “process” or
“throw $$$ at it” issue!
7. CDEs (Culturally Design-driven Enterprises) use DesignExperiences-Dream Merchantry-Lovemarks as the Lead
Dog(s) in the OlympianInnovation-“Strategy”-Value
Proposition Struggle.
8. “Dream Merchant” makes as much sense for IBM or GE or UPS as
for Starbucks!
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
9. At CDEs, Design is the Heart of the “Emotional Branding”
Process.
10. CDEs wholeheartedly embrace ideas such as “mystery,”
“surprise,” sensuality.”
11. CDEs love “WOW!” and “B.H.A.G.” and “Insanely Great”
and “Gasp-worthy” and “Passion” and “Love”! (Axiom: Extreme
language breeds extreme products and services.)
12. Staff at CDEs laugh and cry a lot! (Axiom: “Calm” enterprise =
Crappy enterprise.)
13. CDEs love “strange” and “weird.”
14. CDEs scour the earth for “strange” and “weird” people. (CDEs
know: FREAKS RULE!)
15. CDEs are “extremists.” (KR: “Avoid moderation.”)
16. CDEs know that … EXCELLENCE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
(We must use non-linear measures!)
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
17. CDEs seek Discontinuities. (JG: “We don’t want to be the best of
the best, we want to be the only ones who do what we do.”)
18. CDEs are “respectful” of their customers, but not slaves to their
customers! CDEs … LEAD THEIR CUSTOMERS! (Axioms: “Listening
to customers” is over-rated! Focus groups suck!)
19. But: “Lead” customers are an entirely different matter!
20: Yet: CDEs turn “customers” into “Raving Fans.” (Think: “Tattoo
Brand”!)
21. CDEs abide by Phil Daniels’ Credo: “REWARD EXCELLENT
FAILURES. PUNISH MEDIOCRE SUCCESSES.”
22. At CDEs the Design Director is at least an Exec Vice President, a
Member of the Senior Executive Team, perhaps on the Board, and
has an office within 10 meters of the CEO (unless she is the CEO).
23. Design Directors at large companies not worth $5,000,000
per year aren’t worth hiring! (DD$21M.)
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
24. Great Designers are “10,000X” better than “good designers.”
25. At CDEs CFOs are never former CFOs! The CEO always doubles
as the Chief Innovation Officer.
26. CDEs are “Top-line Obsessed.”
27. CDE execs know there is a chasm between “excellent design”
and “game-changer design.”
28. Gasp-worthy design is a moving target!
29. No Broadway shows last forever. So too, great designers!
(Hire them! Pay them! Cherish them! Nurture them! Fire them!)
30. Great design wrestles incessantly with the issue of “cool”
and/versus “usability.”!
31. Designers “get” the stunning principles of Wabi Sabi. (Great
designers side with Chris Alexander against the A.I.A.)
32. CDEs “get” the “feminine side” of life.
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
33. CDEs Know I: WOMEN BUY EVERYTHING!
34. CDEs Know II: MEN ARE INCAPABLE OF DESIGNING PRODUCTS
FOR WOMEN.
35. CDEs understand that “We’re getting’ older”—and vigorously
embrace the Boomer-Geezer market.
36. CDEs understand: Boomers-Geezers have “ALL THE MONEY” …
are by and large healthy … and have 20 or so years left!
37. CDEs wonder: Can 28-year-olds design “experiences” for 68-yearolds?
38. CDEs seek the sweetest “sweet spot”: Woman-Boomer-GreenieWellness.
39. “Design-mindfulness” is as apparent in the CDE’s facilities as in
its products-services!
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
40. “Design mindfulness” is as apparent in HR and
Engineering and Logistics and IS/IT as in NPD.
41. CDEs will settle for nothing less then “beautiful,” “gaspworthy” Business Processes/Infrastructure!
42. CDEs obsess on K.I.S.S. (Beware creeping feature-itis!)
(450/8.)
43. “Design-mindfulness”/“aesthetic sensibility” is a requisite
for Every Hire—including waiters and waitresses in Fast Food
outlets and Housekeepers in hotels.
44. Gasp-worthy Design is as essential to “service
companies” as to “manufacturers.”
45. Gasp-worthy design can transform any “commodity,”
including ag!
Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
46. DESIGN MANIA IS A NATIONAL ECONOMIC ISSUE OF
THE FIRST ORDER.
47. “Small” is no disadvantage in an Age of Creativity!
48. There is no such thing as a “National Design
Advantage” unless the current school system is Destroyed
& Re-imagined—to emphasize creativity and risk-taking and
acceptance of failure. (Design Mindfulness … the
suppression thereof … typically begins at Age 4.)

“By making the Global Delivery Model both legitimate and mainstream,
we have brought the battle to our territory. That is, after all, the purpose
of strategy. We have become the leaders, and incumbents [IBM, Accenture]
are followers, forever playing catch-up. … However, creating a new
business innovation is not enough for rules to be changed. The
innovation must impact clients, competitors, investors, and society. We
have seen all this in spades. Clients have embraced the model and are
demanding it in even greater measure. The acuteness of their
circumstance, coupled with the capability and value of our solution, has
made the choice not a choice. Competitors have been dragged kicking
and screaming to replicate what we do. They face trauma and disruption,
Investors have
grasped that this is not a passing
fancy, but a potential restructuring
of the way the world operates and
how value will be created in the
future.” —Narayana Murthy, chairman’s letter, Infosys Annual Report

“THE GIANT STALKING BIG OIL: How
Schlumberger Is
Rewriting the Rules of the Energy
Game.”: “IPM [Integrated Project
Management] strays from
[Schlumberger’s] traditional role
as a service provider and moves
deeper into areas once dominated
by the majors.”
Source: BusinessWeek cover story, January 2008
A January 2008 BusinessWeek cover story informed us that
Schlumberger may well take over the world: “THE GIANT STALKING BIG
OIL: How Schlumberger Is Rewriting the Rules of the Energy Game.” In
short, Schlumberger knows how to create and run oilfields, anywhere,
from drilling to fullscale production to distribution. And the nugget is
hardcore, relatively small, technically accomplished, highly autonomous
teams. As China and Russia, among others, make their move in energy,
state run companies are eclipsing the major independents. (China’s state
oil company just surpassed Exxon in market value.) At the center of it all,
abetting these new players who are edging out the Exxons and BPs, the
Kings of Large-scale, Long-term Project Management wear Schlumberger
overalls. (The pictures in the article from Siberia alone are worth the
cover price.) At the center of the center of the Schlumberger “empire” is
a relatively newly configured outfit, reminiscent of IBM’s Global Services
and UPS’ integrated logistics’ experts and even Best Buy’s now
ubiquitous “Geek Squads.” The Schlumberger version is simply called
IPM, for Integrated Project Management. It lives in a nondescript building
near Gatwick Airport, and its chief says it will do “just about anything an
oilfield owner would want, from drilling to production”—that is, as
BusinessWeek put it, “[IPM] strays from [Schlumberger’s] traditional role
as a service provider* and moves deeper into areas once dominated by
the majors.” (*My old pal was solo on remote offshore platforms
interpreting geophysical logs and the like.)

Planetree:
A Radical Model for New
Healthcare/Healing/
Wellness Excellence
"All sane persons agree that 'healthcare needs an overhaul.' And that's where
the agreement stops. Healthcare issues are thorny, and system panaceas are
about as likely as the sun rising in the West. But there is good news here and
there--and great news courtesy the Planetree Model.
"In the midst of ceaseless gnashing of teeth over 'healthcare issues,' the
patient and frontline staff often get lost in the shuffle. Enter Planetree. While
oceanic systemic solutions remain out of reach, Planetree provides a
remarkable demonstration of what healthcare--with the patient at the center-can be all about; and is all about among Planetree Alliance members.
"I know this may sound ridiculous, but everything about the 'model' works. It
is great for patients and their families--and is truly about humanity and
healing and health and longterm wellness, not just a 'fix' for today's problem.
It is great for staff--Planetree-Griffin is rightly near the top of the 'best places
to work in America' list, year in and year out. And Planetree also works as a
'business model'--any effectiveness measure you can name is in the Green
Zone at Griffith.
"For 25 years my 'gig' has been 'excellence.' Put simply, there is no better
exemplar of customer-centered, employee-friendly excellence, in any
industry, than Griffin-Planetree. The Planetree model works--and in my
extensive work in the health sector, I 'sell' it shamelessly, and pray that my
clients are taking it all in."

The Patient-Family Experience
“Patients are stripped of control, their clothes are
taken away, they have little say over their schedule,
and they are deliberately separated from their family
and friends. Healthcare professionals control all of the
information about their patients’ bodies and access to
the people who can answer questions and connect them
with helpful resources. Families are treated more as
intruders than loved ones.” Putting Patients First

Satisfaction
Source: Putting Patients First, Susan Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel
“There is a misconception that supportive interactions require
more staff or more time and are therefore more costly. Although
labor costs are a substantial part of any hospital budget, the
interactions themselves add nothing to the budget.
Kindness is
free.
Listening to patients or answering their
questions costs nothing. It can be argued that negative
interactions—alienating patients, being non-responsive to their
needs or limiting their sense of control—can be very costly. …
Angry, frustrated or frightened patients may be combative,
withdrawn and less cooperative—requiring far more time
than it would have taken to interact with them initially in a
positive way.” —Putting Patients First, Susan Frampton,

“How will you know when the healthcare industry has
finally entered the 21st century? When error rates at
hospitals are close to zero. When doctors and nurses
use evidence-based protocols in your treatment. When
you can decide how much to spend on treatment, and
you have the information and the opportunity to
determine the best value. When your primary care
physician is in charge of your extended care team,
operating as your command central. When all members
of the medical community—nurses, doctors, pharmacists
and specialists—work together seamlessly on your
behalf. When their combined efforts are tracked,
measured, and reported on—and the insurance
reimbursements awarded to them are based on
performance. When you see that hospitals, pharmacies
and doctors are working harder in all aspects to
make sure you are an informed consumer who has
trust and confidence in the services they offer and the
prices they charge.” —John Hammergren & Phil Harkins,

staph infections are M.R.S.A. [up from 2 percent in 1974]. Hospitals in Denmark,
Finland and the Netherlands once faced similar rates, but brought them down to below
1 percent. How? Through the rigorous enforcement of rules on hand washing, the
meticulous cleaning of equipment and hospital rooms, the use of gowns and
disposable aprons to prevent doctors and nurses from spreading germs on clothing
and the testing of incoming patients to identify and isolate those carrying the germ. …
Many hospital administrators say they can’t afford to take the necessary precautions.”

“Experts estimate that more
than a hundred thousand
Americans die each year not
from illness but from their
prescription drugs. Those deaths, occurring
quietly, almost without notice in hospitals, emergency rooms, and

Up To 500,000 Lives: “The medical
system has been unable to turn proven
remedies into everyday care.* Half the people
who need to be treated to prevent heart
attacks are not treated and half who are
treated are treated inadequately. Patients go
home with the wrong drugs or the wrong
doses or misimpressions about the
importance of taking their medications.”
*More: 55% chance of “receiving the best
recommended care—which means getting scientifically
appropriate, evidence-based medical treatment”
—The New York Times, from John Hammergren &
Phil Harkins, Skin in the Game:How Putting Yourself
First Today Will Revolutionize Healthcare Tomorrow
“The private insurance industry
has little incentive to see people
live healthy lives beyond 65 when
their customers automatically
drop out of the employer-based
system and enter the
government-based system.”
—John Hammergren & Phil Harkins, Skin in the Game:
How Putting Yourself First Today Will Revolutionize
Healthcare Tomorrow
“How will you know when the healthcare industry has finally
entered the 21st century? When error rates at hospitals are
close to zero. When doctors and nurses use evidence-based
protocols in your treatment. When you can decide how
much to spend on treatment, and you have the information
and the opportunity to determine the best value. When your
primary care physician is in charge of your extended care
team, operating as your command central. When all
members of the medical community—nurses, doctors,
pharmacists and specialists—work together seamlessly on
your behalf. When their combined efforts are tracked,
measured, and reported on—and the insurance
reimbursements awarded to them are based on performance.
When you see that hospitals, pharmacies and doctors are
working harder in all aspects to make sure you are an
informed consumer who has trust and confidence in the
services they offer and the prices they charge.”
—John Hammergren & Phil Harkins, Skin in the Game: How Putting
Yourself First Today Will Revolutionize Healthcare Tomorrow
“ … 25 to 30 percent of our $2.2 trillion goes to
wasted care in the form of preventable errors,
incorrect diagnoses, redundant treatment,
unnecessary infections, and extra time spent in the
Team-based medicine, barcode prescription scanning,
evidence-based medicine—all of
these are systems and innovations
that are being put into place to
eliminate waste so that we can
re-apply the money.”

“Rikyu was watching his son Sho-an as he

enough,’ said Rikyu, when Sho-an had finished
his task, and bade him try again. After a weary
hour, the son turned to Rikyu: ‘Father, there is
nothing more to be done. The steps have been
washed for the third time, the stone planters
and the trees are well sprinkled with water,
moss and lichens are shining with a fresh
verdure; not a twig, not a leaf have I left on the
ground.’ ‘Young fool,’ chided the tea-master,
‘that is not the way a garden path should be
swept.’ Saying this, Rikyu stepped into the
garden, shook a tree and scattered over the
garden gold and crimson leaves, scraps of the
brocade of autumn! What Rikyu demanded was
not cleanliness alone, but the beautiful and the
natural also.” —Kakuzo Okakura, The Book of Tea
