  metacool: Cranium Wisdom from Richard Tait
Attended Stanford’s EDAY over the weekend, and had my hat knocked in the creek by the event’s final speaker, the Grand Poo-Bah of Cranium, Richard Tait.
Tait’s spiel focused on his own version of the 4 P’s: Passion, Productivity, Profitability, and Play.
To his credit, Tait acknowledged that for routine work (a concept I borrow from Bob Sutton, another EDAY speaker) like day-to day accounting, finance, and operations, you should go for experience.

  BUILD A BRAND FOR THE BRAIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
When Richard Tait and his partner, Whit Alexander, started Cranium in 1998, the two Microsoft alums had a simple goal: to lighten and enlighten people’s lives by building a “brand for the brain.” Their flagship product is the Cranium board game—and their loyal fans are called Craniacs.
Even in the early stages, Tait and Alexander had a very clear vision of who their most logical first customers were - educated, affluent, "dating yupsters" - and when Richard looked up, he saw them all waiting in line for coffee at Starbucks.
Tait and Alexander selected Starbucks, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble as ideal pioneering partners, and decided that if they were to partner with them, it would guarantee the company's success.

 Inside the Smartest Little Company in America
Cranium is the first start-up for Whit Alexander and Richard Tait, but they have approached the venture as a game of skill, not luck, and are planning every move with a deliberateness and stated ambition rare even in serial entrepreneurs.
Tait and Alexander had learned from industry experts and from their own focus groups -- at which participants tried to take the product home -- that people who play a game are more likely to recommend it, so they gave Starbucks sample copies for store employees and patrons to play.
Instead, Tait and Alexander, both of whom are fathers, recast the Cranium experience through a youthful prism.

Philip lost his first toss of the season but The Ship were asked to bat anyway and the ongoing search for a reliable opening pair is set to continue as this week’s offering of the father/son combination of Richard and Jamie Keen managed to compile a stand of a paltry two.
For a while it looked as though the advancing tide was going to save the visiting team but they had not reckoned on the spell of intimidatory bowling from the unlikely source that was Tait or on the athleticism of keeper Richard Keen.
Tait’s rather mechanical donkey drops dazzled the batsmen into giving Keen plenty of chances to display his catching ability and Tait finished with figures of 5 for 5 and Keen with 5 catches.

 Salesprocessdiva: Cranium's Richard Tait - Secret Sauce re-posting
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate to hear Richard Tait speak again at a luncheon meeting honoring businesses on the Eastside (East of Seattle, for those of you located elsewhere).
Richard is an ex-Microsoft guy who co-founded the great game company, Cranium.
This presentation was no different - I was amazed as Richard spoke of how he and co-founder Whit Alexander had "laser focus" - then used the analogy of "peeing in a bottle" to graphically illustrate just how focused they were to succeed in a business others told them they were doomed to fail at.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | City diary: Richard Adams
· Meanwhile, insightful analysis of the BSkyB succession from Richard Tait, director of Cardiff's Centre for Journalism Studies and a former editor of ITN.
There were, wrote Tait, "clear indications from BSkyB's chairman, Rupert Murdoch, that the best candidate is Murdoch's 30-year-old son, James." Brilliant, and hardly marred by the fact that these pearls appeared in the FT on Tuesday, when the front page of that publication read "Murdoch son lands BSkyB job".
