31. What do I say?
Chip Heath’s research focuses on two general
areas: What makes ideas succeed in the social
marketplace of ideas, and how can people
design messages to make them stick?
Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Stanford Graduate School
of Business. . Prior to joining Stanford, Professor Heath taught at
the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and the
Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. He received his
BS in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University and his
PhD in Psychology from Stanford.
32. What do I say?
Human decision making is like a
tiny rider on a massive
elephant. The rider may think he’s
in charge, but the elephant’s will
always wins. Both are imperfect –
the rider over-thinks and over-
analyzes. The elephant acts on
passion and emotion.
33. Heath’s advice for causing change was three-pronged:
1. Direct the rider
2. Motivate the
elephant
3. Shape the path
34. What do I say?
Direct the rider:
Humans obsess about problems. You have to give them
clarity and consistency. Your purpose and your values and
the messages you want to convey must be carefully
planned out and executed on schedule.
35. What do I say?
Motivate the Elephant:
The elephant is all about emotion and instant gratification - you
have to motivate the elephant to get people’s attention.
People often react better to a good story than heaps of data. Tell
a story and allow your listeners to draw their own conclusions
(which ideally match up with yours).
36. What do I say?
Shape the path:
Make the situation and the environment such that the
desired behavior is frictionless.
“What looks like a people problem is often a situation
problem,” Heath explained. If you remove every single
barrier between people and the actions you want them
to take , it makes it easier for them to act.
37. Social Media is just one part of marketing…
…it cannot happen in a vacuum.
40. • If you don’t talk to your customers, someone else will.
• People are talking about you, whether you choose to listen
or not. Its better to be part of the conversation than to be
unaware.
• Your greatest asset is your reputation. It can be your
greatest downfall if neglected. You have to protect it and
nurture it.
• Now more than ever before we have the tools to really
listen to our customer and understand what they want.
