The Transformation Economy

Guiding Customers to Achieve Their Aspirations

By: B. Joseph Pine II

Narrated by: Mike Lenz, B. Joseph Pine II

A new fundamental economic shift is emerging: an economy based on transformative experiences that guide people to change, achieve their aspirations, and become who they want to be.

Welcome to the Transformation Economy. Creating transformative experiences offers businesses the largest opportunity for creating economic value today, particularly as goods and services become increasingly commoditized. Enterprises can create no greater value than to help customers achieve their aspirations—whether improving health, increasing wealth, developing wisdom, or finding purpose. These aspirations speak to our customers' greatest desires, their dreams, and their conceptions of who they are and who they strive to be.

Bestselling author B. Joseph Pine II builds on his iconic work on the Experience Economy to explain what this new shift means for companies looking to stand out and gain competitive advantage. Using examples from organizations across industries, Pine provides proven frameworks for organizations to design, create, and guide transformation offerings that help customers reach their greatest aspirations.
