Susan: Your posts are like magnets! :) I am getting hungry for a hamburger now. I have to swing by Australia... ;) The folks at Paul's Famous Hamburgers are thinking like Apple; they don't "think" about their competitors. They know their "why" they are in business.

Hi Martin,

Susan,

This is a great way of describing the phenomenon. I don't know how many meetings I have attended in which discussions on simplifying a marketing approach took place only to have suggestion after suggestion on how to add some extra unnecessary step into the mix. Like the line from "The Godfather: Part 3": "Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in."

Hi Heather,

I love that line from Godfather 3 and it is so true isn't it. I feel for you and the people attending the meetings probably don’t even know they are adding complexity.
