Great quote! So true when you're attempting to set a new course into a blue ocean kind of strategy.

Sorry - it smells funny. Coming from a direct marketing background, you test. Too many will read Martin's quote and think "Just do it!" If you have a fiduciary responsibility to the organization, you damn well better figure out how to quantify success.

I disagree, Pat. I think we're entering a new era in marketing where innovation is going to be the norm and those who can't take bold chances will be left behind. There isn't much security in the tried and true anyway...I've seen many a marketing department get the boot when new campaigns don't produce results - whether they are based on accepted methods or not.

While I do think you should test as much as possible, and think logically-I agree-this is a great quote! Who would have guessed that so many popular things today would have lasted?

The quote is true to some point for me.Innovation is important part of our lives nowadays and without it we can't progress.But some old things would be better to stay the same like-our insurance,our dog and other simple things. :)
