10:00 am Monday morning on a foggy November day in Vienna. Large conference room. About 50 managers waiting for me to open the conference and expecting (probably) the usual welcome blablabla. Instead I went on stage and hit the play button on my iPod. What music you’re wondering? Nine Inch Nails, “Terrible Lie”.
Can you imagine their faces? I sure had their attention thereafter! I had their attention after this.
Of course I explained myself, illustrating what NIN has to do with business model innovation.The conference was a showcase for a large group event we developed to develop ideas for new business models.
