Time
to Spit
on the Table
Being Functionally Appropriate
by Being Culturally Inappropriate


Dan Willis, Sapient                 IA Summit March 21, 2009
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbV4KcVu9VQ
“We don’t know who
 discovered water ...




 ... but we know it
    wasn’t a fish.”
            --- Marshall McLuhan
“Hunting Lice by Candlelight” by Andries Both
“The group’s initial
 fixation on statistical
anchors ... was in step
   with the analysis-
  oriented corporate
         norm.”
“One way past this dysfunction
was to give the meeting attendees
 permission to ESCAPE from the
   Hairball of their history ...”

              Jared Spool, Founding Principal,

   functionality

Results
 ‣ Investors became participants
 ‣ Investors had fun
 ‣ Investors gained a deeper
   understanding of the product than with
   traditional materials
WARNING

Audience participation required in 5 slides
Inappropriate tips
‣ Inappropriate doesn’t always
  mean rude
‣ Understand the existing
  culture; gauge the ROI
‣ Get tactile
‣ Get personal
‣ Use the humor, but
  constantly track the
  discomfort in the room
WARNING

Audience participation required in 2 slides
Risks
‣ You may get fired
‣ You may be taken lightly
‣ Being inappropriate takes
  more energy than
  maintaining the status quo
Inappropriate stories, issues, or
          questions?
