The Snowflake Effect: UNIQUE is what we seek!

• You’re a Snowflake Just like every other snowflake

• Moreover so too is every situation, every project

• If this has always been the case and is SO obvious then why do we live in a world that assumes the opposite?

The RIGHT BRAINED ECONOMYDesigning from the Right Side of the Brain:

• The left brain is necessary but NOT sufficient

• Well captured by Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the Future” Automation taking over most of the left side roles and jobs The rising “Economy of Abundance”

putting a whole new emphasis on design and in particular on the appeal to the senses such as with “emotional design”

Long Tail•The future of business is selling less for more

•The economics of abundance§Creative squandering§Don’t do one thing; do it all, Don’t store some; store it all; don’t sell one piece of content, sell it all

•Market of one is the biggest of all?

•The “getting small” of business:Combine enough non hits on the Long Tail and you've got a market bigger than the hits!

"The biggest money is in the smallest sales.“ Barnes & Noble carries 130,000 books More than half Amazon sales from OUTSIDE top 130,000

The market for books not sold in the bookstore is larger than those that are!

Google makes most of its money from small advertisers eBay the same Children today will grow up never knowing the meaning of “out of

print”
