The Ten Most Important Ideas of 2004:
Business & the Economy
The Ten Most Important Ideas of 2004:
Business & the Economy
02/05/2005 09:32 PM

This is the second installment
of my three annual 'top 10 ideas' lists. The list for Blogs and the Internet is here;
the one for Politics &
Society will be out later this month. Here are my nominations
for the 10 Most Important Ideas of 2004: Business & the Economy:
- The
Wisdom of Crowds: The idea:
The
best answers to business problems are found by canvassing groups (the
larger the better) of reasonably informed, unbiased, engaged people;
the group's answer is almost invariably much better than any
individual
expert's answer, better than the answer of the experts as the group,
even better than consultants' or management's experienced judgement.
The evidence is in James Surowiecki's book of
the same name. I've written about this a lot in the last year.
- Personal
Productivity Improvement: The
idea:
The best way to improve business productivity today is bottom-up, by
analyzing one-on-one your front-line employees' technology,
information, learning and workflow
management
impediments to productivity, and coaching them to overcome them.
Almost
everyone wants to work more effectively, but top-down training,
centralized databases and complicated, unintuitive tools aren't
working. Personalized help with managing information overload, solving
the "I can't find it"
problems, and organizing and prioritizing workload to Get Things Done,
is what
is needed. Four years ago Peter Drucker said
this would be the greatest business challenge of the century, and
we're only just starting to realize he was right.
- The Recognition of Corporatism's Excesses: The idea:
The corporation is the very foundation of our modern economy, and the
overwhelmingly preferred form of business, but there is a growing
public backlash against the corporation's amorality and single-minded
pursuit of short-term profit at any cost. Books
like The Corporation,
The People's Business and
People Before Profit
prescribe solutions that would dramatically affect the behaviour of
corporate managers, boards and shareholders, but these solutions
may
be essential to save the reputation of business as a whole and restore
the integrity of our increasingly entangled and dysfunctional economic
and political systems.
- The Importance of Courage: The idea:
We live in a time of risk-aversion, brought on by the consequences of
spectacular corporate failures and embarrassing scandals and swindles,
and this mentality will continue to paralyze innovation and progress
until business leaders and individual workers start to exhibit some
much-needed courage
. Fear of failure, of inefficiency, has brought about a kind of corpora
te anorexia
that manifests itself in outsourcing and offshoring, in massive serial
layoffs, in making decisions that are long-term dysfunctional out of
cowardice to tell investors to be patient. Courage is not about making
decisions that are foolhardy, it's about taking calculated
risks, about daring to experiment, and about learning quickly and
inexpensively from failure as well as success. Without such courage a
business is lame, inflexible, vulnerable.
- The Search for Elegant
Simplicity: The idea:
Technology has given us the ability to build enormous functionality
into almost everything we build, but the very best desi
gns are simple, do one thing very well, and are almost austere.
Like nature's finest creations, the products of Apple and Google
search pages conceal their astonishing complexity where the user can't
see it, and the result are things of great beauty and utility. By
contrast, today's cellphones now have user manuals twice the size and
weight of their products -- monsters of over-engineering. In a world
of
too much unnecessary complexity, consumers and employees are beginning
to make it clear in many ways that less is more, smaller is better,
and
as Einstein said of scientific
theories, business products "should be as simple as possible, but no
simpler."
- An Economy Dependent on Living Beyond Our Means: The idea:
Consumption by the end-consumer underlies the entire now-ubiquitous
capitalist economic system, but increasingly consumption, by
individuals, corporations and governments is fueled by spiraling and
unsustainable
levels of debt, and the taking from the Earth of vastly more than it
can replenish. The result is a deficit economy that is staggeringly fragile,
dependent on everyone's willingness to incur more and more debt, to
fund others' ever-shakier debt loads, and to demand very modest
interest rates in return. It's a Ponzi
scheme,
and eventually those of us who are wise will get out before the crash,
and leave the naive and foolish holding the bag, and bankrupt. It's an
extremely unhealthy way to try to make an unsustainable economy carry
on, quarter by quarter, devoid of fundamental support, with everyone
wondering who's going to blink first.
- Role Models Instead of
Leaders: The idea:
In an age when almost everyone's job is unique, and each of us
uniquely
know what needs to be done in our job and how to do it, we don't need
or want business leaders who tell us what to do, or tell us what our
values should be, but rather leaders who show us how to get things
done
-- models of productivity, of courage, of responsibility.
Leaders are
role models whether they want to be or not, and their
success depends increasingly on what they show, not what they say.
Drucker's eight recommended principles
for role model leadership are shown in the chart
above.
- The Co-opting of the Counter-Culture: The idea: Not only are
counter-cultural movements, from rap music to eating organic and
botanic foods not
disruptive or effective at 'sticking it to the man', much of the
modern economy depends
on business' substantial competence at co-opting such counter-cultural
movements, which obsolesce old products and create huge demand for
'what's cool' far more effectively than old 'planned obsolescence'
schemes ever did. For marketers, this means that viral marketing (one
of the top ten ideas on my list last year) can do much of their job
for
them. For those that want to undermine the old economy with a
counter-cultural one, better think
again.
- Marketing: Two Kinds of Free Stuff: The ideas:
(a) More and more businesses are finding the most successful model for
new market penetration is to give a basic product or service away
free,
and to charge for extras that 'improve the user experience'; (b)
Useful, insightful small ideas that solve a problem that's peripheral
to what your product is all about can dramatically differentiate, add
value to, and get people talking about your product, and generate
additional revenues with almost no incremental cost to the company.
Two-tier pricing isn't new, but when the lower tier price is zero
(which is what file-sharing has led to) it can be alarming to the
owner
of the property. The answer isn't to sue the customers, or otherwise
try to get blood out of a stone, but rather to use the free first-tier
products to generate buzz for the second-tier products, so that not
only do they cover the losses from the first tier, they attract a huge
price margin. But you can't cheat: 'Limited time' freebies and those
that don't even do the basic job will rightfully be seen as coercive
and devious, and can backfire. The second kind of 'free' stuff is free
to the producer, not the consumer. Seth Godin's new book Free
Prize Inside explains how to do it, and he's even developed a
tool, Edgecraft<
/a>, to exploit it.
- The End of Oil: The idea:
Yes, I know we've all heard it before, but we're running out of oil.
Deny it all you want, call it scare-mongering, the facts are that at
current rates of consumption there will be no oil left to extract,
even
at an absurd price, by the latter part of the century. Many experts in
economics and in new energy technologies agree
that the huge existing oil-dependent infrastructure simply cannot
migrate to new energy sources fast enough, and those new energy
sources
cannot be made commercial even for the very rich, in time avoid a
catastrophic 'adjustment' (depression). Think about what a sudden
quadrupling of the cost of all the materials used to make your
product,
and of the cost of living of all your employees, would do to your
business. And consider that the only thing between today's $45/barrel
oil and $160/barrel oil is a tenuous agreement between OPEC not to
charge much more for its increasingly scarce resource, and the world's
only superpower not to invade the rest of the OPEC countries as long
as
they keep the price low.
I would have liked to have put Natural Capitalism, Natural Enterprise, and The End of Work
on the list, but it would be wishful thinking to believe these ideas
have yet begun to permeate the business and economic world. Maybe next
year.
