SEEING THE WORLD AS IT IS CAN BE A CHALLENGE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE
The other day I was rewatching The Matrix – can you believe that was released in 1999?… but I digress.
One of the most interesting scenes is where Morpheus presents Neo with a choice of the red pill or the blue pill. What was Neo’s response to the offer?
As described by Morpheus: “You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill…you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Neo chooses the red pill and joins the rebellion.
What will your choice be – Red or Blue?
Yes, he chose to see the world as it really is, not as it appeared to be….
That’s a lot like the choice companies face now. Do they carry on living in the blissful ignorance of a collective hallucination from the industrial age, or do they see the world as it really is now.
Maybe I’m geeking out on this a bit…
But when you’re as immersed as I am into Outside-In and Customer Centricity you just start seeing these little lessons everywhere… even in popular films.
We do a lot more about moving beyond the hallucination during the ACX Masters 4 day program.

Do you want to embrace advanced Customer-Centric thinking and become Outside-In?
I was recently interviewed by BPMTips.com Zbigniew Misiak. It was a fun experience as he put me on the spot about a whole range of things including Ducks! Here is an extract and you can access the full interview below (with a useful bonus handout of the SCO Canvas!)
Zbigniew Misiak, Editor BPMTips.com
We shouldn’t be asking customers what they want because they will tell us.
Provocative? Maybe.
Making you think? Surely.
One of the common problems with processes is focusing on the wrong things.
We model processes that do not need to be modeled or in a way that does not create value.
We improve things in processes that customers do not care about.
But how are we supposed to know what should we focus on? Of course, experience helps, but what if you did not spend last 35 years doing BPM and Customer Experience projects?
No worries – you can listen to the BPM Tips interview with Steve Towers and benefit from the decades of his experience.
Steve tells about the difference between what customer wants and needs, and shares lots of actionable tips for anyone interested in processes, so grab a pen and notebook and listen to the interview:
