...hierarchies are being flattened and value is being created less and less within vertical silos and more and more through horizontal collaboration.

DIGITALIZATION


GLOBALIZATION

It was far too common in the past for a successful corporation to identify closely with a "home base," a company headquarters, or a corporate "home town”, but it was outdated if the corporation saw the world as its

marketplace. … The world has already attained the position of being effectively without borders.

What is “marketing yourself”?


What is marketing, anyway?


You don’t need to be the best, You don’t need to be better. You just need to be different


It’s better to be a little bit different than to be a little bit better
