The Membership Economy Manifesto
By Robbie Kellman Baxter
"We hear the stories. Cornered by a passionate friend, we are regaled with tales of binge-watching House of Cards on Netflix, or the virtues of the Paleo diet combined with Crossfit, or a new recipes and decorating tips found on Pinterst. Certain organizations are winning the hearts and voices of their customers, and building the kind of loyalty that traditionally was reserved for family, community, and church. The secret that these organizations know is that people are craving membership. Organizations that build their businesses around people's need to belong, to be connected, and to be admired, organizations that are focused on relationships over products, are winning in today's economy."

Built to Reinvent: The Ten Commandments of Today's Sustainable Company
By Nadya Zhexembayeva
"Ask any manager on planet Earth, 'What is your key challenge. ' and among many different responses one will strike you with remarkable consistency: Staying afloat. The fast-moving roller-coaster economy we live in today makes this task increasingly difficult. Just as we handle one crisis, another looms around the corner. How can we sustain—and even thrive. The answer is the one you've heard before: We must consistently remake who we are, what we offer, and how we deliver our offerings to the world. Put it simply, we must reinvent. What you may not have heard before is this: Today, the frequency with which our reinvention must take place is staggering. Essentially, we must become a new company every three years. In fact, we must reinvent so frequently and so radically that the traditional roles and processes inside of an organization cannot keep up. It's time to make reinvention into its own profession. The Ten Commandments are here to help you with this task. Spoiler alert: all hail the Chief Reinvention Officer.
