dispatches from the new world of work

Excellence, Version 2007!
A Seven-part Harmony!
The Best I Can Do!

Since my last speech, on June 3rd, I have, for the most part, been ignoring one and all. The reason is a project I finished this morning. I have thoroughly (more thoroughly than in years) revised the Master Presentation. Literally thousands of small edits, a substantial body of new slides, and reorganization have been chalked up.

The result is a seven part presentation—including roughly 2,700 slides.

The parts are:

Part One: Context. Excellence. "Must dos."
Part Two: Innovation. The case. Tactics (e.g., SAV—Screw Around Vigorously).
Part Three: Climbing-clawing Up-up-up-up the Value-added Ladder. Solutions-The Essential Professional Service Firm model-Experiences-Dreams-Lovemarks.
Part Four: Staggering "New" Market Trillion-dollar opportunities—still neglected. Women. Boomers & Geezers. Women. "Best fit" as Tomorrow's Leaders.
Part Five: "People." Brand You imperative. "Talent," best Roster wins. Leadership for Excellence by Passion & Persistence.
Part Six: Key Lists (E.g., "The Irreducible 209." "Us"-"Them.").
Part Seven: The "Talent 50," The Leadership 50."

I may subsequently add a few light annotations ... but this is "it" ... all of it ... my best shot ... for now. I hope it's useful; it exists for you to steal!

Remember:

Excellence.
Always.

These take time to download. The status bar at the bottom of your screen will read "done," but you must wait a minute or so for the file to finish downloading. When you see a PowerPoint slide on your screen, you have sucessfully downloaded one of the sections of Tom's Master Presentation. They're worth the wait.

Oh, and now we know what Tom does on his breaks.

You can steal a quote or an idea from Tom, but you can't replicate him. My guess is that Tom increases business by giving out his powerpoint presentations! When brand imitators only make the real thing look good, that is a mark of excellence! Keep up the good work Tom!
