| | | | |  | | | Tom Peters Times--April 2008 | | Real People: The Latest from Tom
In Search of Excellence flipped the conventional wisdom of its day. Instead of characterizing strategy as all-important and implementation as a by-product, the book told stories of "'excellence in execution-implementation,' with 'strategy' secondary." Thus Tom introduces "Real People," his latest entry on our Free Stuff page at TomPeters.com. He goes on:
[I]t's the numbers and the plans that are "soft." (And this was pre-Enron, pre-super-derivatives.) And it's the people and the relationships throughout the "supply chain," from receptionist-to-bench scientist-to-customer-to-vendor-to-community, that is the truly "hard stuff"--that is, the Bedrock upon which all else stands, including any damn strategy you care to concoct. You can get the rest of Tom's "Real People" manifesto by downloading the PDF (552 KB). |
 | Most Popular Blog Entries
Tom loves a good debate. At Tom's blog on tompeters.com, we're fortunate to have a growing community of commenters adding their voices to the conversation. With this in mind, we decided to try out a new feature in the TP Times: The Most Popular Blog Entry. This past month, the blog entry that gathered the highest number of comments, that is, provoked the most discourse, is Tom's "Ten Years in the Making!" announcing his Healthcare PPT, with Madeleine McGrath's "So, Work Really Does Matter..." coming in a close second. Read these entries now to see if you think they're worthy of the attention they got. And add a comment if you'd like to join the crowd. |
| Tom Day in London, 28 April
Though Tom Day in London is sold out, there may be a chance to attend depending on possible cancellations. That's why we want to give TP Times readers a final heads-up for what is the only London public event in Tom's 2008 speaking schedule. It will take place at the QEII Conference Centre on Monday, 28 April, and Tom will be sharing the stage with Kjell Nordstrom, of Funky Business fame. You might remember him as a Cool Friend along with coauthor Jonas Ridderstrale.
"Look Beyond Change" is the theme for the day, and it should be a lively event. Details can be found on benchmarkforbusiness.com, or email us at team@tompeters.co.uk if you have any other questions. |
| Web Seminar in May
If you miss Tom Day, there is another chance for you to hear his message, albeit without Tom himself. The next free Web Seminar from TPC!UK will be taking place on 22 May at 12 midday (British Summer Time) and 12 midday (Eastern Daylight Time), titled "Navigating in Turbulent Times." If you'd like to keep your organization on track for future success, or maybe you are struggling right now to find some smart moves for these tough times, conventional management thinking might see these as conflicting agendas. In Tom Peters Company, we don't!
Over many years of working with Tom Peters and his evolving prescription of business excellence, the Tom Peters Company has developed what we call our Future Shape of the Winner framework. We have also developed something new and exciting to accompany it, the Navigation Aid. In times of uncertainty and change, we have always believed that the best way to predict the future is to invent it for yourself. With this new combination, we can help you to do just that.
By assessing results of Navigation Aid survey results within the framework of Future Shape of the Winner, leaders and executive teams can make informed decisions about their priorities for change that are consistent with their picture of what future excellence looks like for their business. Sound like nirvana to you? Why not check it out for yourself?
You can find out much more by investing 60 minutes of your time in attending our free Web Seminar on 22 May. Sign up by email to team@tompeters.co.uk. More information can be found on futureshapeofthewinner.com.

| People Are Twittering about Tom's Daily Quote
Have you signed up yet? On April 10th we sent out the first Tom Peters Daily Quote. At the urging of a reader who missed the quotes that had rotated on our TP.com banner, we put them back. But the space available on the front page of TP.com is limited, so in order to bring you larger doses of Tom's wisdom, we have implemented a new subscription-only feature in the form of a quote-a-day. Recent evidence is that people are sending these quotes to each other by means of Twitter, a "social networking and microblogging service utilizing instant messaging, SMS, or a web interface." In our estimation, when we've made an impact in an arena that defines itself with at least three hot buzz words, we have a success! You can subscribe now to get the Tom Peters Daily Quote delivered to your inbox. |
