Introducing the “Think Different” campaign, what Steve Jobs said in 1997 is still valid today. But values that cut through the noise are not imagined in a workshop… they come from within the company.
To avoid vague terms that could mean anything and nothing, look back into the past for inspiration:

• A difficult conflict: What was essential to find a solution?
• An act against the company’s interests: What made you do it?
Together with your team, try to look for patterns and similarities.
