Rishad—I would push brand further. The participation we seek from ‘consumers’ turns brand into a stage for relationship more than experience. A shared purpose opens the room for co-creating value. Experience is not enough.

Love this. Wish every CMO or company leader had a version of this by their laptop. I think the content section is especially useful. There's a relentless push for more efficiency overall, and too many brand builders forget to consider effectiveness of their content, too. That is, it's got to be good, not just efficient.

A very useful guide. Thanks, Rishad.

Could you expand on the need for enterprises to be “schizophrenic”? I take from this piece that it’s about being willing to have a collective beginner’s mind, but I’m not sure I grasped it.
