In recent years, the fashionable suggestion has been that companies sell experiences and solutions, solving the needs and aspirations of customers. Companies, indeed, do all of these things. But increasingly, what companies sell are projects. To understand the difference, think of an athletic shoe company, such as Nike or Adidas.
