Gladwell’s Tipping Point in Haiku
By Luis Paez | March 27, 2009
As an homage to the insightful book, The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, I’m going to attempt to write a summary in haiku (Japanese poetry style consisting of three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively) that summarizes the essence of mastering a changing environment. All right, here it goes:
Talk to certain “Few”
Make sure they find Stickiness
Listen for changes
What do you think? Do you have any haikus you’d like to share? Haiku Battle!

Nice one Luis. You’ve inspired me to write a haiku as well:
Ears to the market.
Be patient but move quickly.
Find marketing zen.
Not bad for my first haiku, huh? Who’s next?

Here’s my haiku summary of the final episode of Battlestar Galactica (not the one with Lorne Greene):
Cavil met his doom
Roslin died, Adama cried
We are all hybrids

Real Value is key.
So Plan Before your Action.
Otherwise, You fail.
