Goods and services are no longer enough. As authors B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore have pointed out in the book The Experience Economy, today more than ever, women, men, boys and girls are seeking out a new genre of Economic Offering...Experiences! Creatively conceived, carefully crafted and expertly staged experiences stand out in the minds--and reside in the emotions and memories of the growing number of consumers willing to "purchase" them.
Welcome to the "Experience Guru" - a place that points out and acknowledges people and businesses that are exemplars at staging outstanding and memorable Experiences. Our "Guru team" is comprised of CEs, EMA and EXPY winners--as well as educators, consltants, business owners and executives who are on the lookout for any and every Experiential offering they can find.
As you visit the site, keep in mind that your own ideas and suggestions are welcome. Our intent is to provide insight and information that will shed light on this rapidly-expanding genre of Economic Offering, and what means to stage Exceptional Experiences--hitting the "Sweet Spot" by including the four basic "realms" of an Experience: Entertainment, Educational, Esthetic, and Escapist .
We encourage you to interact with this site on a regular basis. You may choose to passively absorb the information--or you may wish to actively immerse yourself in many of the Experiences described on these pages. Regardless of your approach...enjoy the journey! -Steve Dragoo-
