TED.COM – MALCOLM GLADWELL ON BEING EXTRA CHUNKY

A year ago, my fellow blogger Nick Corsi, showed me this great clip of Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce.

Malcom makes a great point through out this piece.  The food industry really can’t ask you everything you want in a series of .  People don’t know what they want. This however, does create a opportunity for marketers, developers, designers.  Sometimes, it is what lies just behind our questions that will actually allow us to reach our market.

Next week, I will continue to speak about this line of thought.  In addition encourage you to bring up points that you agree or disagree with in Gladwell’s analysis.
