If you want to be a brand, you have to work from the inside out
 A great logo isn’t going to make a shitty product any less shitty,
         any more than a hard worker is going to make
                 a bad boss a compelling leader.’
        Christopher Simmons - http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/what-design-cant-do
To know what a business is we have to start with its
purpose. Its purpose must lie outside of the business itself.
In fact, it must lie in society, since business enterprise is an
     organ of society. There is only one valid definition of
            business purpose: to create a customer.

         - Peter Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice
What the customer thinks he or she is buying, what he or
   she considers value is decisive – it determines what a
 business is, what it produces, and whether it will prosper.
And what the customer buys and considers value is never a
 product. It is always a utility – that is, what a product or
    service does for him or her. And what is value for the
             customer is anything but obvious.
         - Peter Drucker, Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice
business strategy is UX strategy
UX as Facilitator
    “one who contributes structure and process to
 interactions so groups are able to function effectively
           and make high-quality decisions.
A helper and enabler whose goal is to support others to
           achieve exceptional performance”

Harry Beckwith- Selling the Invisible




      why are companies terrified of a clear value proposition
    look up the positioning quote from selling the invisible and put
       it here - the bit about saying what you are is saying what
                                you’re not.
