Joe Pine – Architect of the Experience Economy
B. Joseph Pine II is widely recognized as the authority on business innovation, customer experience, and economic value creation. As coauthor of the landmark bestseller The Experience Economy, he redefined how companies compete and grow. The book introduced a fundamental shift in thinking: economies evolve from goods and services to experiences, where businesses stage memorable events that engage customers in a personal way.
For decades, this framework has shaped strategies across industries, influencing how leaders design offerings, build brands, and create lasting customer relationships. Joe Pine’s work continues to guide organizations that seek to move beyond traditional models and instead create distinctive, experience-driven value.
The Transformation Economy
In his latest book, The Transformation Economy: Guiding Customers to Achieve Their Aspirations (February 2026), Joe Pine introduces a bold new stage of economic progression. While experiences engage, transformations change. The true competitive advantage today lies in helping customers become who they want to become.
This new perspective challenges companies to rethink their purpose and their offerings. It is no longer enough to deliver excellent service or memorable experiences. Organizations must design transformation offerings that guide customers toward meaningful, lasting change. In his keynotes, Joe Pine explores how businesses can systematically create this kind of value and position themselves for long-term relevance in an evolving marketplace.
