Top Tens

Pine & Gilmore Top Ten lists first made their appearance at the inaugural thinkAbout in 1998 and have been an integral part of the event ever since. To close the show each year, ten experiences that embody outstanding elements of exemplary experience staging are unveiled. A question inspired by the experience is then posed to participants encouraging them to consider its broader implications for their own business.

Now presented as a dedicated offering, customized Top Tens are a highly tailored opportunity to learn about – and learn from – today’s leading practitioners in the Experience Economy.

Top Tens begin with an hour-long phone consultation with either Pine or Gilmore to discuss your organization’s unique challenges, market dynamics, and strategic goals. We’ll then tap into our unrivaled knowledge of leading-edge experiences as well as conduct additional research to uncover further provocations. A countdown of ten custom-selected experiences will be presented for you and your staff to experience firsthand in order to gain insights about how to stage more compelling experiences in your enterprise.

Each exemplar is also accompanied by a description of why it holds important lessons for your organization; a discussion question specifically crafted to stimulate thinking in your organization; and a website link.

This Top Ten material can (and should!) be shared throughout your organization to initiate discussion, spark debate, and jumpstart the creative process that leads to breakthrough thinking. For a separate fee, Pine & Gilmore personally will develop a set of their own ten ideas for your business, inspired by each of these experiences, that is sure to further provoke and inspire. Additional levels of interaction with Pine & Gilmore are also available based on specific goals.

Strategic Horizons Top Tens. . . two fistfuls of provocative insight customized just for you to stir imaginations and serve as the starting point in the search for bold market leadership opportunities.

“Dramaturgs should not try to have all the answers but to apply their expertise to crafting provocatively useful questions.”
