In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. Support the Show.

In his book “Crossing the Chasm”, Geoffrey A. Moore lays out a framework whereby mainstream consumers adopt new technologies. He segments buyers into “visionaries” and “pragmatists”, between which resides “the chasm” of adoption that all products must cross before fully entering the mainstream. Matcha visionaries went out of their way to source and prepare matcha. They tolerated inconveniences and lack of transparency, and paid the price for what is now considered an inferior quality product, after innovation in the mainstream worked its magic to make matcha better, cheaper, and easier to source and prepare. Matcha pragmatists come in many flavors. They're everyday consumers who don't like the taste of coffee and want another caffeinated beverage option. They're people who are more sensitive to the crash or jitters of caffeine and are looking for the functional benefits matcha offers. They're people who are looking to introduce better-for-you products. They're people that are really into tea.
Peter Christou had a water membrane epiphany in his garage in Edmonton. But a terrible timing and some financial difficulties of one of his investors basically turned him... homeless, and in the need to steal food to survive. As Swirltex has since soared and proved its worth, let's explore the full story!More #water insights?

Crossing the Chasm & Tech Adoption Revisited w/ Geoffrey Moore AZ TRT S05 EP11 (226) 3-17-2024 Things We Learned This Week • Crossing the Chasm book (1990) has become part of the lexicon for Tech Industry knowledge, mass influence on Tech CEOs last 25 years, constant references • Chasm – early market vs. mainstream market • 5 Stages of Adoption – Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Market Pragmatists, Late Majority, Laggards • Win tech ‘primaries', win some ‘beachheads' & create whole niche market – get mainstream market to create momentum to the point everyone wants the product • Legacy Co's fail to make tech turn, because they lose money in short term shifting to new disruptive tech away from mature industry that brings in bulk of profits $ Guest: Geoffrey Moore http://www.geoffreyamoore.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffreyamoore/ https://twitter.com/geoffreyamoore Bio: Managing Director, Geoffrey Moore Consulting Venture Partner, Wildcat Venture Partners Chairman Emeritus, TCG Advisors, Chasm Institute and The Chasm Group Member of the Board of Directors of several pre-IPO Companies Books – Crossing the Chasm, Zone to Win, Inside the Tornado, The Infinite Staircase, Escape Velocity & more… Geoffrey Moore is an author, speaker, and advisor who splits his consulting time between start-up companies in the Wildcat Venture Partners portfolios and established high-tech enterprises, most recently including Salesforce, Microsoft, Autodesk, F5Networks, Gainsight, Google, and Splunk. Moore's life's work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. His first book, Crossing the Chasm, focuses on the challenges start-up companies face transitioning from early adopting to mainstream customers. It has sold more than a million copies, and its third edition has been revised such that the majority of its examples and case studies reference companies come to prominence from the past decade. Moore's most recent work is the, The Infinite Staircase, a bold new book, high-tech's best-known strategist makes a seminal contribution to the search for meaning in a secular era. Two questions fundamental to human existence have always been the metaphysical “where do I fit in the grand scheme of things?” and the ethical “how should I behave?” Religion is no longer a source of answers for many people, and nothing has replaced it. Irish by heritage, Moore has yet to meet a microphone he didn't like and gives between 50 and 80 speeches a year. One theme that has received a lot of attention recently is the transition in enterprise IT investment focus from Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement. This is driving the deployment of a new cloud infrastructure to complement the legacy client-server stack, creating massive markets for a next generation of tech industry leaders. Moore has a bachelors in American literature from Stanford University and a PhD in English literature from the University of Washington. After teaching English for four years at Olivet College, he came back to the Bay Area with his wife and family and began a career in high tech as a training specialist. Over time he transitioned first into sales and then into marketing, finally finding his niche in marketing consulting, working first at Regis McKenna Inc, then with the three firms he helped found: The Chasm Group, Chasm Institute, and TCG Advisors. Today he is chairman emeritus of all three. Notes: Crossing the Chasm book Crossing the Chasm, Take Two: Growing to Scale in B2B2C Markets Crossing the Chasm (1990) has become part of the lexicon for Tech Industry knowledge, mass influence on Tech CEOs last 25 years, constant references 5 Stages of Adoption – Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Market Pragmatists, Late Majority, Laggards Disruptive Innovation – is created & early adopters put the tech on the market Chasm – early market vs. mainstream market. Win tech ‘primaries', win some ‘beachheads' and create whole niche market – get mainstream market to create momentum to the point everyone wants the product – FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) i.e. – EV niche, the mainstream streaming video Tornado phase – run like hell to keep up with demand. 1999 – Salesforce – enterprise software in cloud, SAAS mass adoption by 2010 Mid market could not afford Oracle Cloud early on, with SAAS everyone can afford. Legacy Co's fail to make tech turn, because they lose money in short term shifting to new disruptive tech away from mature industry that brings in bulk of profits $ All companies are Tech companies now, and everyone needs to read Geoffrey Moore's work. Zone To Win book about Mature Industries invest in new tech – form new second operating model for new tech model within a mature company, meanwhile old model continues asa separate division selling current long term product Go out of business if do not make tech transition, disrupted so much by new tech, as old tech becomes obsolete (think VCRs) Apple, under Steve Jobs, did great R&D. Had first Mover Advantage disruptive technologies. Rare to be disruptive company – most are disrupters. Good enough, fast enough – get in the game, catch up and convince clients you're part of future. Talent costs money, startups attract talent. Very hard for legacy companies to attract talent because talent wants to work on new tech. Nokia lost way with disruptive smart phone. Blackberry, Blockbuster disappeared quick because of disruptive tech. Blackberry had Keypad – was disruptive tech and blown out also by smart phone spin off of new R&D tech. Kodak had digital film, invented it but could not move off of print film (legacy biz) and lost market share. Amazon has constantly disrupted itself and evolved. Fuji could not move off print film, but saved by coloring techniques. Infinite Staircase – book, passion project of Geoffrey Philosophical book – complexity and emergence stitch all the science stories of Big Bang Creation of the Universe to BRT podcast in 2022 and Moral Questions of life, Where do traditional values come from now? Let's hope AI does not take over Flashback to: Seg. 2 of 3/6/2022 MB on Disruption in Business & The Innovator's Dilemma book by Clayton Christensen Clayton Christensen's book, “The Innovator's Dilemma” Tech Disruption – technology changes and a small company startup can up-end big tech companies. Hence, disruption - the power of disruption, why market leaders are often set up to fail as technologies and industries change and what incumbents can do to secure their market leadership for a long time. Innovator's Dilemma – how can big companies stay up with tech changes and pivot without hurting core business? All businesses (including tech companies) have trouble with disruption. Example: Blockbuster – rented movies, DVDs, lost market share to Red Box (vending movie rental), then both disrupted by streaming movies. Music industry went from records to cassettes to CDs to streaming (Napster). MySpace taken out by Facebook in social networks. Yahoo search taken out by Google (controls 75% of the search market) Kodak afraid to get out of film business and passed on digital film, lost market share. To solve the Innovator's Dilemma, big companies acquire smaller tech companies; have in house R&D to be ready for next tech wave. Steve Jobs of Apple was very influenced by Innovator's Dilemma and took this idea seriously. If you do not try to put your company out of business (w/ disruption / new tech), someone else will. Jobs was not afraid to innovate, and cannibalize his own company and products to stay relevant. Apple created iPhone, and now computer is in your pocket Peter Thiel – “Zero to One” book - Great innovation is not A to B to C, it is vertical, jumps curves. Current smart phones have more computing power than a computer 20 years ago.

In this episode, we catch up with Geoffrey Moore, the best-selling author, consultant, and venture capitalist whose groundbreaking work has shaped how we think about innovation strategy. If you've ever talked about a technology "crossing the chasm" from the realm of early adopters into the early majority, or your company has put a high potential project into the incubation zone, you've been using language given to us by Moore. His best-selling books including Zone to Win, Inside the Tornado, and Crossing the Chasm — and lately, he's been publishing a series of insightful LinkedIn articles on topics including the future of the office…rethinking personalization… and why it's time to stop talking about generative AI and start doing something with it. Listen to the episode to hear the full conversation.

The backlog of data requests keeps growing. The dashboards are looking like they might collapse under their own weight as they keep getting loaded with more and more data requested by the business. You're taking in requests from the business as efficiently as you can, but it just never ends, and it doesn't feel like you're delivering meaningful business impact. And then you see a Gartner report from a few years back that declares that only 20% of analytical insights deliver business outcomes! Why? WHY?!!! Moe, Julie, and Michael were joined by Kathleen Maley, VP of Analytics at Experian, to chat about the muscle memory of bad habits (analytically speaking), why she tells analysts to never say "Yes" when asked for data (but also why to never say "No," either), and much, much more!

Why 54 tech titans failed (so you don't need to)Personal note from our host, Dom Hawes: "Hi folks... this is a very special episode for me and part of a personal mission to see 'Chasm principles' return to every day marketing parlance. In this episode Geoffrey details why tech titans, who ruled their day, faded away to nothing... all for the same reason. Moore's work is the definitive playbook for dealing with disruption.As a marketer who cut my teeth in the mid to late 1990s, this work was everywhere. Now it's not. And, as we are swimming in a sea of sameness, it's time to bring back a more strategic approach. That's where Chasm comes in and why I invited my all-time marketing hero to join the Unicorny project.I hope you enjoy this one... it really is a great show and I'm hugely grateful to Geoffrey for joining us."In this episode of the Unicorny podcast, author and speaker Geoffrey A. Moore draws on the feted work in his book Crossing the Chasm. Moore addresses the challenges encountered by B2B marketers and makes the case for marketing activities to be aligned to the technology adoption lifecycle. You won't find a better, clearer playbook for marketing than Chasm.About Geoffrey A.

He has a BA in American literature from Stanford University, and a PhD in English literature from the University of Washington, with a focus on medieval and Renaissance literature.Strategy and its execution have been the lifelong focus of Moore's work.

The reality is constructed in levels. While it may initially sound peculiar, the concept of distinct levels permeates every aspect of our world—be it culture, biology, physics, or even business. This concept takes the spotlight in the latest book, 'The Infinite Staircase' by Geoffrey Moore, the featured guest on the 24th episode of Belkin's Growth Podcast. Known for his impactful works such as 'Crossing the Chasm' and 'Zone to Win,' Moore, a renowned author, speaker, and advisor, engages in a compelling conversation with Michael Maximoff to explore business and life philosophies that might even change your mindset and values. Tune in and explore the depths!Watch this episode to:
Crossing the Chasm has gone through 3 editions, over 1 million copies sold and has been named as one of Inc. Magazine's top ten marketing books of all time. Praise for Crossing the Chasm is not hard to find. The author of Crossing the Chasm, Dr. Geoffrey Moore, dropped by to discuss his book and why it endures in popularity and effectiveness with early-stage high technology companies including medical device startups. 77 years strong, our session was his THIRD podcast of the day!
Chapter 1 What's Crossing The Chasm"Crossing The Chasm" by Geoffrey A. Moore is a book that focuses on the challenges faced by technology companies when trying to bring their products or innovations to the mainstream market. The book provides a framework for understanding the different stages of technology adoption, and specifically addresses the "chasm" that exists between early adopters and the early majority. Moore suggests strategies for successfully crossing this chasm to achieve mass-market success, including the importance of understanding the needs and concerns of different customer segments. The book has been widely influential in the technology industry and is often referred to as a key resource for entrepreneurs and business leaders.Chapter 2 Why is Crossing The Chasm Worth Read"Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey A. Moore is considered a seminal book in the field of technology marketing and has been widely acclaimed for its insights and practical guidance. Here are some reasons why it is worth reading:1. Unique Framework: The book presents the "Technology Adoption Life Cycle" framework, which helps businesses understand the distinct stages of market adoption for new technologies. This framework helps companies identify their target customers and market segments, navigate product launch challenges, and develop effective marketing strategies.2. Challenging the Status Quo: Moore challenges the common assumption that a successful product can effortlessly transition from early adopters to the mainstream market. He argues that there is a significant gap, called the "chasm," between these two groups, and businesses must address specific challenges to successfully cross it.3. Insights for Technology Startups: "Crossing the Chasm" provides invaluable insights for technology startups, highlighting the critical importance of early adopters and explaining how to identify, engage, and convert them into advocates. The book also explores sales and marketing tactics tailored to the unique needs of tech startups.4. Practical Strategies: Moore offers practical strategies and tactics for marketing disruptive innovations, emphasizing the need for a "whole product" solution that addresses customers' pain points comprehensively. He also explores different marketing messages and methodologies at each stage of the technology adoption life cycle.5. Real-world Examples: Throughout the book, Moore uses real-world case studies and examples to illustrate his concepts, making it easier for readers to apply the concepts to their own businesses. These examples provide concrete evidence of the strategies' effectiveness and help readers connect the theoretical concepts to practical implementation.6. Long-lasting Relevance: Since its publication in 1991, "Crossing the Chasm" continues to be relevant and widely referenced in the technology industry. The book's principles have stood the test of time, making it a valuable resource for technology marketers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.Overall, "Crossing the Chasm" is worth reading due to its groundbreaking framework, practical strategies, real-world examples, and long-lasting relevance in the technology marketing domain.Chapter 3 Crossing The Chasm SummaryGeoffrey A. Moore's book "Crossing The Chasm" explores the challenges that technology companies face when trying to transition from early adoption to mainstream market success. The book argues that there is a significant gap, or "chasm," between the early adopters of a new technology and the mainstream market. Moore suggests that the strategies and tactics that work during the early adoption phase are not effective in crossing the chasm and capturing the larger...
In the universe of value-based care transformation, there has been one disease that represents a metaphorical black hole, where the gravitational pull of fee-for-service is so strong that nothing can escape. These patients experience the fullest depths of pain and despair, and this chasm is so deep and wide that there is only darkness. You may have guessed it, but we are talking about chronic kidney disease, a condition that impacts 37 million people in the U.S. The suffering of those inflicted with CKD is so immense, yet the Medicare reimbursement system is designed to fail this patient population. In fee-for-service medicine, we wait until patients succumb to end-stage kidney disease, where they crash and burn and need costly dialysis to stay alive for a little while longer. Because of this flawed reimbursement model, Medicare pays over $125 billion for people with all stages of renal disease, which is around 20% of all Medicare spending! Unless we go upstream and start engaging patients prior to kidney failure, success in value-based kidney care will be limited. We must “give life” to this patient population in the Race to Value! The giving of life and that is what DaVita Kidney Care is doing. In fact, the name DaVita is an adaptation of the Italian phrase for giving life. In value-based care, DaVita works with healthcare payers and providers to develop and implement care delivery models that focus on improving outcomes and reducing costs for CKD patients. And I am excited to share with our listeners, that our guest this week is Dr. Adam Weinstein, the Chief Medical Information Officer for DaVita. Dr. Weinstein works across numerous lanes helping bridge the intersection of IT, clinical nephrology, and healthcare policy. He is focused on delivering IT tools that take advantage of DaVita's clinical data and help nephrologist and DaVita teammates deliver the best care possible. A kidney doctor from Maryland, Dr. Weinstein is passionate about slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients. This was such an outstanding conversation with one of the true innovators in technology and clinical care!

Scott Rechler, CEO of RXR Realty and Board Member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, discusses how 20% of extant office buildings may now be obsolete in the post-COVID era and how investors can transition to a new “regime” of real estate investing. https://www.afire.org/podcast/202306cast/ Real estate is going through a significant transition beyond the usual ups and downs of the economic cycle. The risks are changing. The opportunities are changing. And office buildings in particular—historically favored by institutional investors looking for safe, long-term investments—are changing, too. When it comes to office: How can investors transition their investment asset management strategy to cross the chasm from where we were just a few years ago to where we will be over the next decade? Scott Rechler, CEO of RXR Realty and Board Member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sat down in April 2023 with AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson to talk about how he is working through his own portfolio to find ways to meet the future on its own terms. Depending on the asset, Rechler says, everything from conversion to disposition must be considered, and whether an office remains an office, or becomes something else altogether, crossing the chasm to the future will not be easy. But success will start with transparency and meaningful leadership.

Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore is a classic for good reason. The principles are as relevant today as they were 20 years ago. And while the companies continually change, the need to understand that our marketing, sales, and product development need to adapt in order to meet the needs of the right group of customers at the right time will always be constant. It's easy to get lost in our current customers, especially for early technology products. But by keeping the chasm in mind, and understanding we need to adapt our products (and companies) to cross the chasm and reach the mainstream, we can avoid becoming another body in the void.

In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment.
On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, Matt Johnson and I have a conversation about the book that changed my life. In my case, it was two books in particular that changed my life. We look into them through a category lens perspective in Matt Johnson's new podcast, One Book That Changed My Life Podcast. Matt Johnson is the founder of PursuingResults.com. Matt and his firm were the original producers of my original Oddcast back in the Legends and Losers days, and he's taught me a ton about podcasting. He's got a legendary podcast called MicroFamous. Of late, he started a new podcast called one book that changed my life. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Matt Johnson & Christopher Lochhead on how the two books made a difference After a brief introduction of who Christopher Lochhead is and his works, Matt Johnson starts the discussion on the book. Particularly on the topic of what the situation was when he was reading the books for the first time, and how it affected Christopher and his views. Christopher then talks about his background when he was first starting out his business as an entrepreneur and still learning the ropes. While there were a lot of books on marketing available, there was something about the 22 Immutable Laws the made him think, “this is the one.” “I started to read them early on, and, and it immediately spoke to me. What their work really spoke to was, if you want to stand out, if you want to be super successful, and you want to make a big difference, you got to do it by being kind of radically unique in some way.” – Christopher Lochhead Matt Johnson & Christopher Lochhead on the 22 Immutable Laws Of the topic of the 22 Immutable Laws book, the one law that really stood out to Christopher was the 2nd law, which is the Law of Category. It states that, “if you can't be first in the category, then set up a new category that you can be first.” Looking back, that law describes Category Design quite nicely. Christopher also brings up the idea of the importance of solidifying and codifying your ideas and defining them as a category, rather than just sharing new thinking without establishing it first. Because it leaves others the chance to improve upon it and move into the category before you, and by then you've lost the category despite being the actual first to think about it. Matt Johnson & Christopher Lochhead on Crossing the Chasm As for Crossing the Chasm, Christopher explains that the book presents a great framework for understanding how new markets in tech, and in these days, pretty much all digital-related markets. The book explains how new market categories develop. It has a standard kind of bell curve which introduces a non-obvious problem that anybody who's introduced a new tech category has experienced, but had no lens or way of understanding the concepts. On the side of the rising bell curve, you have the few innovators, followed by the slowly increasing number of early adopters. At the peak, you have the early majority, who mostly benefit from the experiments and not repeating the same mistakes as early adopters might have incurred. Then you have the downward slope, which features the late majority and the laggards who are late to the party.
