FrontPage vs the WebIn the early 2000s, the changing face of the web was starting to discredit Internet Explorer. How FrontPage Fell From FavorIt’s critical to understand that FrontPage was designed as the editor for Internet Explorer. Frontpage replacement for windows 10. Conversely, Internet Explorer was the only browser that could render pages that used FrontPage Server Extensions correctly.These Server Extensions were used to render basic interactive content, and without them, the sites couldn’t function as intended. The older the technology got, the less likely it was that hosts offered them, and the harder it was for users to keep their sites working properly. FrontPage users had to choose hosting companies that would offer that compatibility.Even when Microsoft was bundling FrontPage with Office, some hosts were not wild about its Server Extensions.

A quick reading of how the most powerful and influential companies combine ideals and business profitability. Moving.
A very good collection of real-life examples of companies that had to take a good look into their history and foundations to find their true ideological reason for existence - and how that, as a result, has unlocked their true potential. Turns out that just as it's hard to live your life without determining the general reason of why you wake up every morning, same way the corporations struggle to make profit when the only explicable reason of their existence is to [make X product to] make profit..more

Very interesting book. It starts with appealing branding concepts and follows with several interesting business anecdotes. I wish the book would have gone a little deeper into data but will assume that the author will follow it with further research now that he has left business to join the academic world.

It's not really a memoir, but there was a lot of ego involved in this book and much of Stengel's career is charted here. The examples were interesting, but the execution was a little dry, if that makes sense.

The book reflects on how human values should always be at the core of any successful enterprise, providing interesting examples.
Great read on how the top brands approach marketing. Very helpful guide!
Pursue a higher purpose; he provides a diagram where to plan, 5 purposes to chose from, and examples on how they work.
How data centric big companies lose their directions and how a machinery and financials become inefective without ideals.
If you've read anything about starting a business, you've see the terms 'mission statement' and 'vision statement'. And if you've run a business, you know that no matter how much effort goes into crafting a mission and vision, both are easily forgotten when the real work begins. Jim Stengel's Grow teaches about using ideals instead. The ideals statement is the driving force behind the brand and can serve as a litmus test for all decisions from customer service to marketing.

I read this book as audio book in the car on my way to work. This works fine, except that I won't recall all details of the book. Jim Stengel found in his years at Proctor and Gamble as marketing director how important brand is and in particular what he calls 'ideal brand'. He gives a lot of insight in how he used that (or better: how he got a better understanding of this concept) during his career with different P&G companies. I found this learning part most interesting. Someone may see it..more

There are a few interesting business stories in here mostly originating from authors experiences at P&G (Pampers, JIF Peanut Butter, various Czech P&G examples). The stories mostly come from a product marketing/branding perspective with sprinkle of management and customer relations (b2b and consumer). The underlying message is to find the 'brand ideal' to inspire employees and customers. It's a old idea I've heard packaged in many forms (finding 'noble purpose' is synonym from Lisa McLeo..more

It was a good book in terms of the general power of branding, but was misplaced in the cause and effect of that role in growth. Branding is huge in creating a successful business and when done by the best, the rewards of that effort are obvious. The problem I have here is that in terms of an economic indicator, this would be a lagging indicator. The power of a brand is an aftereffect of all the time, money, energy establishing that brand. So I would suggest the work spent cultivating the reliabl..more

I really enjoyed this, a worthwhile read. The content is excellent and I completely agree with his ideas. His impressive experience and thorough research substantiate the ideas well, he convinced me!
The style was frustrating at times. To broaden that point, the audience is very small and I'm not in it. It felt like Stengel was writing to fellow titans of industry, which is why to some Goodreads reviewers he came off as arrogant (understandably). I didn't mind that, but some will.

I was recommended to read this by a recruiter friend of mine after we'd been talking about types of companies that would be great to work for. Stengel takes his years of marketing experience and suggests an ethos for corporate success, namely that ideals are at the heart of sustained growth. He uses lots of interesting examples to demonstrate 5 core ideals and the key elements that must be in place to bring those - and ongoing profitable growth - to the fore. Unusually for me with a business boo..more
This book is a fantastic thought provoker and helps you really think about how you want to craft a business or product that actually means something. I am fully with Jim on his thoughts about business going forward. People are already selecting and will select products and services that go beyond just the product and the price. He talks about how people are looking to connect with a business at an emotional level.

A very intriguing book with some very interesting and thought provocative research/theories on why certain brands outperform the majority.
I did find the book sometimes monotonous and slow.
Jim Stengel was CMO at Procter and Gamble (P&G) and whilst he interacted with the best brands in the world, he was so fascinated as to why certain brands leap ahead of others. Jim actually left P&G and joined force with a group (Millward Brown) who specialises in rating the worlds best brands.

I didn't finish listening to this on audio because my loan ran out and I'm just not pulled in enough to check it out again. I love the message about choosing an ideal for your business to run from, but I wasn't even halfway through and it was already like beating a dead horse..there were repeated promises about sharing techniques, etc, but at that point I already didn't feel like I had taken enough away from it.

Stengel, former CMO of P&G, spearheaded an eye-opening 10-year growth study of 50,000 companies which reveals that those with a 'brand ideal' that is focused on improving its customers' lives in one or more of five ways outperformed the S&P 500 by 393%. His book, which will be out in December, details why and how.
An incredibly effective way to identify and realize your brand in a way that authentically engages your clients/customers; much more effective than branding around inanimate objects - i.e., 'We're like a Volvo..'

Some of the stories about companies and the way they hope to be seen by consumers were interesting. Here's a tip from the book. After meetings, ask yourself, “What did we learn? What could we do better? Are we excited about the outcome?”
thought this might be another collins book, but was pleasantly surprised by the depth of insight and transferable learnings. a gem that i'll surely return to study more thoroughly. must read for any brand marketer.

There are business books you skim, others you read, and others you read and keep as a reference. This book is the latter. A consummate handbook for building and maintaining brand strategy and reputation.

Author is quite proud of himself. I couldn't make it through this book or past him promoting himself and how smart he is. I punted after 100 pages and I rarely punt.
It's really an easy reading book and talks about how we need to do good central to what we do for our consumers and customers and make money out of it. Loved it.
