"There is a simple psychology model often referred to as the “3 As,” which stands for awareness, acceptance, and action. This way of understanding the steps a person must go through to make lasting change can guide us to what needs to happen collectively when a retailer embarks on the journey from good enough to remarkable. Before it can follow individual steps, a company has to change its corporate mindset—and that can be the most difficult obstacle of all....We may not like gravity. We may find it rather inconvenient at times. We might even think gravity is an outdated concept. It doesn’t matter. Gravity doesn’t care. Gravity always wins....The sad irony is that while many a retail manager has been sacked for failing to meet a quarterly or annual sales or profit plan, plenty of leaders stay in power doing the same old things over and over again, treading water while a new tranche of customer and shareholder value is created by industry insurgents who either steal share from the defenders of the status quo or seize new opportunities that were there for the taking simply by redefining the way existing or emerging customer outcomes could be addressed....his complete disregard for reality is obvious and pathetic....It’s been said that hope is not a strategy. But this is what passes for an innovation program at many companies. Even if a company is not entrenched in defending the status quo, many are living a fantasy, spinning what amounts to a fairy tale of a growth strategy."
