Summary of Re-Imagine! (Tom Peters)
Book Presentation: Re-Imagine! by Tom Peters
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
“It is the foremost task – and responsibility – of our generation to re-imagine our enterprises and institutions, public and private.”
– Tom Peters
Business is cool – or at least it can be – but to take advantage of all that the changing world offers, you must be willing to reinvent and update your business model to harness all the new opportunities to create value which are now becoming available. In other words, it’s now time to re-imagine and update your entire way of doing business. Why? Because more discontinuous change is imminent, and this will require revolutionary new approaches rather than upgrades of what worked in the past.
More and more, the business model of the future will be built around the concept of “virtual organizations”. The basic building block for a virtual organization is the “Professional Service Firm” (PSF) – an individual business free agent who is highly skilled, highly motivated and willing to be paid on the output produced rather than the number of hours taken. Ultimately, the advantages of PSFs will become so obvious most employees will end up becoming their own 1-person PSF and hiring themselves out to the highest bidder. Each PSF will function autonomously (free of the traditional office politics) and leverage whatever can be done to world-class standards with passion. And each PSF will be responsible for regularly adding value to what is produced, thereby commanding a better return from the marketplace.
In short, the business environment of the future will be strikingly different from anything which has gone before. As a result of these dramatic changes, a new and improved business model will become established. With everyone focusing on delivering exciting world-class services from their own PSFs, creativity and inventiveness will flourish.
“Business is cool. It’s about Creativity and Invention and Growth and Service. At its best, it’s about building things that make life less burdensome than it was in medieval times. About getting us beyond – far, far beyond – the quasi-slavery of the Middle Ages, the indentured servitude of the first 150 years of the Industrial Revolution, and the cubicle slavery of the last three-quarters of a century. I honestly believe you’d have to be a fool not to see that we’re in the midst of something big, VERY BIG. And, to reinforce the obvious: Very Big Problems call for Very Big Solutions.”
– Tom Peters

Context
All bets are off when it comes to looking to the future
“We act as if the dot com crash signaled the end of the New Economy. But we are, in fact, on the verge of the biggest and most profound wave of economic change in a thousand years.”
– Tom Peters
