brain works to leverage that
knowledge into business
growth.
1) What creates disruption?

2) How the human brain works

3) Power of implicit codes


(live practice)
What creates disruption?

How the human brain works
Brain Stem

“Old Brain”

Controls a lot of automatic functions,


(“autopilot“), breathing, blood pressure,
heart beat, motor control, etc
Cerebellum
“Little Brain”

Motor Control, automatic behavior,


200 x more powerful nerve connection
compared to cerebral cortex, 75% of
the „power“ of the cerebral cortex in
50% of the size

“System 1“ according to Daniel Kahneman


Limbic System
“Mid Brain”

Emotion, Motivation, Behavior, Drive,


Addiction, produces endorphins

Thalamus, Hypothalamus,
Corpus callosum, Amygdala, et al

“System 1“ according to Daniel Kahneman


Cerebral Cortex
“New Brain”

Needed for perception, cognition,


thought, language, real calculations,
and math.

“Gray Matter,” only 2-mm (¼ inch) of


the brain’s surface.

“System 2” according to Daniel


Kahneman
System 1 = Autopilot
System 2 = Cognitively Exhausting
Is the “old brain” always faster?
“70% of all decisions are made unconscious.“

Wrong.

It’s 100% - but some decisions will be


‘post-rationalized‘ more than others.

Relevance -> Resonance

“That is made
for me.”
Jeff Bezos:

“Ask yourself what is not going to


change over the next 10 years”

20.000 Years FTW!!1


Assignment:

Conduct a five-second test


to identify which implicit
codes your website sends.
Five Second Tests

1) Print out your website

2) Find five people that do not know it

3) Show it to them for five seconds

4) Ask them about their first associations, what did

they see? Record that.


BONUS: Visualize results with a limbic map.
