As often as it is mentioned in business literature, the idea of corporate culture can still seem intangible, amorphous, and even mysterious. Customer Excellence Enterprises have mastered the craft of clearly defining, documenting, and embedding their distinctive cultures at the DNA level through well-crafted culture platforms: * A culture “platform” is the foundation of its identity, embodying the shared values, principles, and practices that guide how it operates and interacts with the world. * Like the DNA of a living organism or the operating system of a computing device, culture platforms define the unique traits and essence of an organization, making it distinct from others. * To remain relevant and effective, a Starbucks culture platform must evolve to bridge the gap between the present and future while preserving authenticity, and timelessness.

Experiential Commerce (n): A new era where experience itself has become a unit of value creation (or destruction). Since the mid-2000s, the World Bank has tracked this global shift from tangible to intangible value exchange. Experiential value now represents more than 80% of GDP in developed economies and 65% in emerging economies. In this landscape, differentiation comes less from what companies sell and increasingly from how they make people feel. This is the arena of Customer Excellence.
