This business book is different, going beyond digital disruption and business transformation.
The authors introduce Distinguishers – people, brands and businesses that win customers at speed, scale and lower costs. Distinguishers displace mature, stale brands & enterprises – who the authors call Extinguishers.
Distinguishers change consumer behaviour, delivering better outcomes for an expanding customer stakeholder universe. They open up space and create wealth using less resources better, that last longer. They use the technology differently. They know that customers won’t pay for baggage that adds no value or humanity.
It examines over 100 cases from all over the globe, revealing the recipe on how to become a Distinguisher. The formula they offer is practical, potent and progressive:
