Better make it real

Better Make It Real: Creating Authenticity in an Increasingly Fake World describes the importance of authenticity as a core business strategy for achieving market dominance and customer loyalty. Positioning authenticity as the filter through which all organizational decisions should be made, the book offers a transformational process based on the four "Ps" and perception, products/services, people, and place and that will enable leaders to identify exactly how they want to transform their organizations to more authentically represent their values, beliefs, mission, and service philosophy.Drawing directly from the case files of Kahler Slater, an award-winning, interdisciplinary design enterprise of architects, designers, and consultants, the first four chapters of the book provide an overview of the author's "total experience design philosophy," which explains why it's essential to integrate organizations according to the four "Ps." The next five chapters outline methodology and the author's "total experience design process" utilizes the five "Ds": discover, dream, define, design, and deliver. After reading this book, leaders of all stripes will be better equipped to transform their organizations in truly beneficial ways.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Philosophy, Nonfiction, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.
