In this quick take, we discuss how to take special experiences in business, such as conferences or executive retreats, beyond pleasant memories to create lasting impact that can shape the future of your company. We also offer three immediately useful ideas for keeping the impact of special experiences alive long after the moment has passed.

Recently, we visited a shopping mall (yes, they still exist) near where we live in Northern New Jersey, only to discover that a space that had formerly been a major department store is now a business called “Dopamine Land,” a special drug-free multi-sensory experience dedicated to increasing happiness.  In fact, from indoor skydiving to escape rooms, to rage rooms where you can break things, we’re seeing many more businesses around us that are part of the growing “experience economy.”  Rather than simply offering goods and services, these businesses offer special experiences that can appeal to all age groups.

The “experience economy” can also exist at work.  Maybe you’ve had your own exhilarating experiences  — it could be a breakthrough idea at a conference, or the rush of team-building at a retreat. You might even have a special innovation room to increase creativity.  In the moment, it can feel transformative. But then… daily demands set in, and the energy can fade.  Here’s our question: What can you do to keep the impact of special experiences like these from slipping into memory and instead turn them into lasting value for yourself and your company?

In this Quick Take, find out what we recommend for keeping the impact of special experiences alive. We discuss why the energy of unique experiences, particularly in business settings, can fade away.  We also share three immediately useful ideas for keeping the energy alive long after the moment has passed. These strategies can help you not only capture the value of insights and inspiration but also expand them through dialogue with others and apply them in ways that create meaningful, lasting impact for you and your company.

Special experiences don’t have to fade into pleasant memories. Capture them, share them, and act on them to create value long after the experience has passed. – Pam Harper
