We are living through the
disorientation that comes from
including 2 billion new participants
in a media landscape previously
operated by a small group of
professionals.

Change is hard
Employees are fearful

There are no directions

Learning to change
Dif culties mastering new technologies
Finding time to keep up
Questioning whether we can adapt
Enduring inef ciencies due to old systems
Not getting the talent right
Finding reliable sources of information
Learning to collaborate across disciplines
Undoing titles and staf ng plans
Confronting close-minded leadership
Getting training and education
Resolving culture clash of old and new


Focus on innovation

solution

I feel like I've been whipsawed around the globe this morning. I started off in
the future and was then jetisoned back in time 20 years.

A few weeks ago I was asked to kick off the Crowdsourcing track at Social
Media Week which was today in Milan, Italy. I wasn't keen on traveling so I
did the talk via Skype. At 6 this morning I kicked off the event. I talked for a
bit then answered a few questions. It was a great experience and, despite the
distance, I felt like I was there.

My talk ended in time for me to have breakfast with the boys and walk them to
school.

I love the future.

A couple of hours later I got dragged back in time.

I met a film crew at my office to record a question, one simple question, that I
was supposed to ask John Seifert, Steve Simpson and Lars Bastolm, the
leaders of Ogilvy, in a session they are running at Advertising Week entitled,
Inside a Big Dumb Agency.

I applaud John, Steve and Lars for hosting a panel with such a provocative
title. I'm sure the session will be a big hit. But, I did find it more than ironic
that instead of using modern technology, like Social Media Week did, Ogilvy
had a crew of 3, a ton of equipment and spent 2.5 hours to professionally set
up and record my 30 second question. I had already recorded a perfectly good
question on my iPhone4 but I guess rapid moves to the future can be hard
when you are used to big production budgets.

II
My head still hurts from being transported so quickly from the future to the
past.

And, my question? You'll have to attend the session
