John Roth’s Dogma [Nortel]
1. Our strategies must be tied to leading-edge customers on the attack.
2. Time cannot be sacrificed for better quality, lower cost, or even better decisions.
3. It doesn’t matter whether you develop or acquire leading technology. Our job is to provide the technology
and products our customers need.4. Success is achieved by leading change,
not waiting for it.5. We are paranoid about our leadership – willing to cannibalize our own products to maintain our edge.

“You must realize that how you invest your human capital matters as much as how you
invest your financial capital. Its rate of return determines your future options. Take a job for what it teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a potential employer asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’
you’ll ask, ‘If I invest my mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will they
appreciate? How much will my portfolio of career options grow?’ ”

“Where do good new ideas come from? ...
That’s simple! From differences. Creativity comes from unlikely juxtapositions. The best way to

Nicholas Negroponte

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century. Mighty is the
mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the blemished, the
rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps
isolation. It spawns creativity, nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth
and empowers nations.”

“Capitalism and the conditions for creating wealth have changed in ways that play to the strengths of hybrid
individuals, organizations and nations. And those that wish to profit from changing economic conditions must view hybridity as their first and best option. This bold
claim warrants an explanation. The ability to apply knowledge to new situations is the most valued
currency in today’s economy. Highly creative people … are misfits on some level. They tend to question
accepted views and consider contradictory ones. This appreciation defines the mongrel mentality. Strangers
instinctively question things that natives take for granted. Many things strike them as odd or stupid. …”

Brand It! Now, More Than Ever!
“The increasing difficulty in differentiating between products and
the speed with which competitors take
up innovations will assist in the rise and rise of the brand.”

Brand = Trust!
“Most buyers do not have a clue whether anybody else makes a better microprocessor, but ‘Intel Inside’ has become a ‘trust mark’ - a trademark that consumers put their faith in.”

What Can [Can’t] Be Branded?“Branding is not a problem if you have the right mentality. You go to your team and
you pin up a $200 Swiss Army Watch. Competing in the ridiculously crowded
sub-$200 watch market, they made it into a brand name, named after the most
irrelevant and useless thing in history [the Swiss Army]. And you say, ‘Gang, if they
can do it, we can do it.’ ”
Barry Gibbons

“Salt is salt is salt. Right? Not when it

“Corporate Religion is a completely new way of thinking about companies. Today, the product is still the main communication
highway in the company. When companies make the shift to selling solutions, brands and attitudes … communicating the company’s
attitudes and values becomes the decisive parameter for success. It
demands that you find out who you are as a company.”
Jesper Kunde, Corporate Religion

“A Great Brand taps into emotions. Emotions drive most, if not all, of our decisions. A brand reaches out with a powerful connecting experience. It’s an
emotional connecting point that transcends the product.
“A Great Brand is a story that’s never completely told. A brand is a metaphorical story that
connects with something very deep - a fundamental appreciation of mythology.
Stories create the emotional context people need to locate themselves in a larger experience.”

“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and
myths. Companies will need to understand that their products are less important than their stories.”
