The document discusses the Pakistani economy and business environment in 2017. It notes that there were 80,000 companies registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) by June 2017, and the SECP intends to add 5,000 more companies that year. It also discusses the establishment of business hubs and chambers of commerce in major cities, retail banking offerings to attract retailers, efforts to increase the number of quality business schools, beautification projects for city landscapes, and the presence of sports clubs. There is also a brief discussion section that raises questions about the SECP's ability to add enterprises, prospects for increasing export services, and reasons for banks closing in Pakistan.
To achieve buy-in, budget approval, or a project green light you must first engage. As marketers we study the art of engagement. We develop programs, content, and analytics to maximize engagement with our prospects, customers, and channel partners. We recognize that we must deliver content that educates, nurtures, and motivates. As marketers we recognize that we must deliver the right content, to the right people, at the right time, and through the right channel. And as marketers we understand that the most effective form of engagement results from storytelling.
So why do we fail so miserably at engaging our internal audience? More than any business unit, marketing should have perfected the business presentation. And yet, we often fall back into the bad habit of bullet-point heavy PowerPoint presentations, charts and graphs, and messaging that focuses on what’s missing versus what is possible.
In order to succeed you must create an internal environment for success. To do this you must guide the company to the realization that the initiative is a change for the better and that they are a part of that positive change. And much like engaging with your external audience, engaging with your internal audience requires preparation, analysis, relevant content with context, and storytelling.
