There’s an information 
explosion! 
• Knowledge is 
doubling every 12 
months, maybe 
faster. 
• People need help 
navigating to things 
that are meaningful 
Reference: "Knowledge Doubling Every 12 Months, Soon to be Every 12 Hours," Industry Tap, David 
Russell Schilling, April 19th, 2013, http://www.industrytap.com/knowledge-doubling-every-12- 
months-soon-to-be-every-12-hours/3950
You can’t even trust a 
trusted source! 
• Information 
professionals need 
to deepen skills and 
tools to differentiate 
content 
Reference: Anne R. Kenney, Cornell University Librarian 
#LibrarySuperPower 
@KarenAPerry
This world’s got a big 
skills gap! 
• 1/3 to 2/3 of adults - 
depending on the 
country - lack the basic 
skills necessary for 
learning and working in 
modern economies 
• Problem-solving in 
technology-rich 
environments, literacy, 
and numeracy 
• Libraries to the rescue 
with literacy, online, in-person, 
and partner 
learning opportunities

It’s driven by how well the experience you deliver 
meets your customers’ 
ever-changing emotional needs and wants.

Editor's Notes

  1. Lew Carbone has been a leader in the experience management revolution for over two decades. He has done more than anyone to decode how great experiences are made. And this is what he has to say … (Invite one of the staff to read) What do you think this means?
  2. Lew Carbone defines three main types of “clues” to a customer experience – and all need to work together. The product or service provide what Carbone calls functional clues. How well a product or service works, is an example. These clues are interpreted at the rational or conscious level. The environment offers mechanic clues. How the space is laid out. What it smells like. People give off humanic clues. Whether someone smiles and greets you, for example. And both mechanic and humanic clues have strong emotional / unconscious impacts. Great experiences need to consider all of them.
