🤔 The Rise and Fall of Starbucks' Olive Oil Coffee: A Lesson in "N of 1" Innovation First let me say that I love olive oil. Especially Pompeian and their amazing team of marketers and innovators (I'm looking at you Michael Vercelletto and Casey Smith). Disclaimer aside, Starbucks just announced they're discontinuing their Oleato drinks - the olive oil-infused beverages that launched with great fanfare less than a year ago. While the company initially called it "one of the biggest launches we've had in decades," the product is now being pulled from US and Canadian menus. This serves as a fascinating case study in "N of 1" innovation - when products are developed based on one person's passion or insight without sufficient validation from the broader market. The origin story is telling: Former CEO Howard Schultz discovered the concept after learning about the practice of consuming daily olive oil. He loved it personally and pushed to make it a major initiative. Despite the company claiming "success" and "excitement," customer reactions ranged from mixed to negative, with some even reporting digestive issues. This is, once again, a good reminder that: 😻 Personal passion ≠ market validation 🙉 Listening to your instincts is great, but not at the expense of hearing what consumers have to say 🚮 Be willing to admit when something isn't working — and do something about it The best innovations often come from considering all of the stakeholders, not just the ones with the C at the start of their title.
