Davidow had a first-row seat during the crisis: Former Intel CEO Andy Grove chose him to lead the operation that would get Intel out of its slump and pave the way for its explosive growth as it went on to secure deals with multiple large clients, including IBM.<\/p>\n<p>Though Davidow had already dedicated an entire chapter to this story in his 1986 book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marketing-High-Technology-William-Davidow\/dp\/1451697589\"><em>Marketing High Technology<\/em><\/a>, Doerr shared new, behind-the-scenes information that is of significant interest to tech innovators looking to thrive in today\u2019s complex business world.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-operation-crush\">Intel vs. Motorola: Operation Crush<\/h2>\n<p>Intel\u2019s 8086 16-bit microprocessor chip was introduced in 1978 and, according to Davidow, \u201cquickly gained the top position in the market.\u201d The chip captured the lead from older, less capable products that Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor supplied. However, it took two years to achieve wide use, and during this time, Motorola produced a competing product\u2014the 68000\u2014that was faster and easier to program. Clients noticed the difference and were eager to switch from Intel to Motorola.<\/p>\n<p>Motorola was much bigger than Intel and had more than enough resources to push Intel back and grab the lion\u2019s share of the market. Intel was in troubled waters. According to Davidow, several of Intel\u2019s multimillion-dollar businesses depended on the success of the 8086. If it failed to secure its market share, the microprocessor division was at risk, and so was Intel as a whole. This fight-for-survival situation led to the creation of a special operation at Intel: Operation Crush.<\/p>\n<p>Unwilling to settle for incremental gains, Intel\u2019s management team decided to set an incredibly high goal: 2,000 design wins over the following year. This correlated to one new sale every month for every salesperson.<\/p>\n<p>The sales team was dumbfounded.<\/p>\n<p>Doerr recalled the reaction to the news: \u201cManagement was asking our field reps to triple their numbers for a chip so unpopular that longtime customers were hanging up on them. The salesforce was beaten down and defeated, and now it stared up at Mount Everest.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"'intel-growth-strategies&quot;\">Intel&#8217;s Growth Strategies<\/h2>\n<p>Little did he expect, though, that by the end of the year, Intel would surpass this goal, bringing in 2,300 design wins and recapturing 85% of the 16-bit microprocessor market. And all of this would be achieved without creating\u2014not even modifying\u2014a single product.<\/p>\n<p>At its core, Operation Crush was a massive relaunch campaign of Intel\u2019s existing product line. A thoughtful read of Doerr\u2019s and Davidow\u2019s books reveals that the campaign\u2019s success was built on three fundamental strategies. Each strategy promises as much to present-day tech innovators looking to bring new products to market as it did to Intel in the 1980s\u2014and potentially even more, considering today\u2019s increasingly competitive market.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"strategy-1-implement-okr-framework\">Strategy 1: Implement an OKR Framework<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cAs my dad used to say, no one becomes an astronaut by accident.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013Keith Ferrazzi, author and entrepreneur<\/p>\n<p>What are your top-level goals? Have you broken them down into smaller, measurable pieces with a fixed deadline? Those are the central questions Doerr asks in <em>Measure What Matters<\/em>. He has evangelized objectives and key results (OKRs) for years\u2014a framework for defining and tracking objectives. From startup founders to CEOs of large corporations, many have been inspired to adopt the methodology. Today, the list of OKR believers includes Amazon, Google, Juniper Networks, VMware and more.<\/p>\n<p>An OKR framework has four superpowers, according to Doerr<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Focus and commit to priorities<\/li>\n<li>Align and connect for teamwork<\/li>\n<li>Track for accountability<\/li>\n<li>Stretch for amazing (doing more than we thought possible)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although OKRs may seem simple, their implementation comes with some risk. To this end, Doerr provides useful guidelines and examples to help management teams implement the framework.<\/p>\n<p>Both Doerr and Davidow are adamant that Operation Crush would have failed without OKRs; they were the secret sauce that allowed Intel, then a billion-dollar company, to get thousands of employees to change course and work in an entirely new direction in (almost) perfect synchronicity\u2014all in a two-week timeframe. \u201cIntel Corporate Objective\u201d is an example of Operation Crush\u2019s corporate OKR for the second quarter of 1980, as provided in Doerr\u2019s book.<\/p>\n<p>In five short, declarative sentences, Intel stated its top-level objective and called out core tasks for four major departments, incorporating deadlines and measurable targets where appropriate. Department managers had no escape from Operation Crush\u2019s OKRs.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Develop and publish five benchmarks showing superior 8086 family performance (Applications)<\/li>\n<li>Repackage the entire 8086 family of products (Marketing)<\/li>\n<li>Get the 8MHz part into production (Engineering, Manufacturing)<\/li>\n<li>Sample the arithmetic coprocessor no later than June 15 (Engineering)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In terms of Doerr\u2019s aforementioned list of superpowers, it\u2019s easy to see how the OKR framework brought focus, alignment and accountability to the team. In the end, OKRs gave Intel\u2019s cargo ship the agility of a laser sailboat.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"strategy-2-change-positioning-and-messaging\">Strategy 2: Change Positioning and Messaging<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cI would rather be different than better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013Bill Davidow<\/p>\n<p>Examining Intel\u2019s OKR list, we notice that the second key result, \u201crepackage the entire 8086 family of products,\u201d is the only one without a deadline or measurable goal. It\u2019s also a bit of a mystery. What exactly does it mean to <em>repackage<\/em>? Doerr and Davidow both provided ample explanation. In fact, if there was one key result they insisted on as they described Operation Crush, it was this.<\/p>\n<p>Intel knew that Motorola\u2019s 68000 was a better device. The company also knew it would lose if it kept the discussions happening at the microprocessor level. This forced Intel\u2019s management team to spend significant time and resources to find a way to change the 8086 product\u2019s position and message\u2014to repackage it.<\/p>\n<p>Davidow recalled hiring Silicon Valley\u2019s top marketing consultant at the time to help drive this process. Out of intense strategic sessions came a realization: While Intel looked bad from a pure microprocessor standpoint, it had several advantages over Motorola from a system-level standpoint, including a broad product family, better system-level performance, and a better-trained technical salesforce. The net result for customers, the team asserted, was a reduced risk of integration problems, faster time to market, and a more efficient engineering team. The team was on solid ground to create a new narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Intel not only changed its positioning and messaging, but it also changed to whom it promoted its new message\u2014the company stopped selling to programmers and started selling to CEOs. This was essential to Operation Crush\u2019s success, as most programmers had little interest in the new features and benefits Intel was about to offer.<\/p>\n<p>What mattered then continues to matter today: Repositioning a product for a higher-level audience is a powerful, strategic move for technology innovators to capture new growth. In fact, redefining the industry buyer group is one of the six paths to growth in another <em>New York Times<\/em> bestseller, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blue-Ocean-Shift-Competing-Confidence\/dp\/0316314048\"><em>Blue Ocean Shift<\/em><\/a> by W. Chan Kim and Ren\u00e9e Mauborgne.<\/p>\n<p>One caveat to remember is that successful repositioning requires properly segmenting the market. \u201cIn actual practice, a marketing department that talks to enough customers will gather sufficient data to define enough markets to guarantee confusion and paralyze any management team,\u201d Davidow wrote. The solution, he insisted, is to \u201cidentify the dominant characteristics in a customer population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly establishing Intel\u2019s differentiator, this breakthrough system-level positioning formed the basis of a new message and value proposition that the company relentlessly marketed over the following months. \u201cWe had been playing to competitors\u2019 strengths, and it was time to start selling our own,\u201d Davidow wrote. This was the turning point for the Intel team, and they never looked back.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"strategy-3-align-campaign-blueprint-with-buyers-journey\">Strategy 3: Align Campaign Blueprint with Buyer\u2019s Journey<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cPeople don&#8217;t want to buy a quarter-inch drill; they want a quarter-inch hole.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2013Theodore Levitt<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with a new value proposition, Intel\u2019s management team organized the company to deliver the message. Whereas the repositioning and messaging effort required a lot of thinking and brain power, this last strategy is about taking massive action. A campaign blueprint is the guiding map to ensure all actions are aligned with one another.<\/p>\n<p>This step is thoroughly described in Davidow\u2019s book, wherein he strongly advocates for a systematic approach to marketing campaigns. This starkly contrasts the collection of disjointed activities he witnessed at other high-tech companies. Rather than random acts of marketing, Davidow favors an approach that relies on systems that are subject to quality control.<\/p>\n<p>Inherent to this approach is the need to break down the path leading to a sale. The result, often referred to as the \u201cbuyer\u2019s journey,\u201d describes the key learning elements clients need to evolve in their journey from suspects to prospects to qualified prospects and, finally, to clients. For most technology innovators, the buyer\u2019s journey can be broken into three main stages: awareness, consideration and decision. Rather than trying to take a shortcut and go straight to the sale, \u201cOperation Crush Campaign Blueprint\u201d shows how the company aligned with each stage of the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sheer complexity of technology products is often a trap,\u201d according to Davidow. \u201cTime and again, a high-tech company will try to tell its customers everything about its complicated product in a single promotion. The resulting copy is impenetrable, the headlines are long and arcane, and the graphics are incomprehensible. It is always easier to tell a lot about a product than to tell just a little. But simplicity is the key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though they were proud of their new product and eager to inform the market, Intel knew that most customers would not care about their new datasheets and demos\u2014at first. To get there, Intel had to warm them up.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, Intel first directed prospective customers to their awareness-level content. The goal was to make them realize they had a problem and recommend seminars to learn about Intel\u2019s top-level solution. After the seminar, prospects went through a qualification process and then were offered the opportunity to attend a users\u2019 forum during which more in-depth information was provided. Only then were they exposed to demonstrations and product-focused technical information.<\/p>\n<p>Like a trail of breadcrumbs, this alignment of content to the buying process allowed Intel to gradually build trust and guide buyers on their journey from prospect to client.<\/p>\n<h2>Motorola\u2019s Billion-Dollar Mistake<\/h2>\n<p>As with all principles, these strategies aren\u2019t applicable only to major corporations and product relaunches. Tech companies of all sizes regularly apply these principles to launch new products, whether they\u2019re medical devices, industrial systems, telecommunications equipment, or consumer electronics. Regardless of the industry or product, the principles remain the same\u2014it\u2019s their implementation that varies.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Intel versus Motorola, the result was far from inevitable. Motorola could have used these same strategies to its own advantage. \u201c(Motorola) had the opportunity to consolidate its victory, yet instead, it fell into the trap of confronting our strengths head-on,\u201d Davidow explained. \u201c(The company) could have been different, but it chose to be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than defending against Intel\u2019s strategy by calling it out as an act of desperation, Motorola legitimized Intel\u2019s efforts by going toe-to-toe\u2014but with an inferior imitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad Motorola chosen to remain aloof from our challenge, I think Intel would have been in deep trouble,\u201d Davidow wrote. And this is a great reminder that if you don\u2019t have a strategy, you\u2019re probably part of someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how Intel used
