A Planner's Playbook - Everything I learned about planning at Miami Ad School...Sytse Kooistra
After being in advertising for 4 years, I needed some new guidance and inspiration as a strategist. And that is exactly what I found: I spent the summer of 2013 with 17 other (soon to be) planners from all over the world attending the Account Planning Bootcamp at Miami Ad School New York.
Thanks to the 38 industry heroes and instructors that shared their knowledge and coached us in those 3 months, I learned more than I ever could imagine about planning.
'A Planner's Playbook' is my attempt to summarize all that wisdom in 30 short nuggets (or plays, to stick with the metaphor of a playbook) and share it with you. I left out all the difficult frameworks and models and kept in simple by just stating, in my opinion (and in that of my instructors), what a planner should be and do.
Enjoy reading.

Innovation capability or the ability to reinvent yourself continuously and to combine existing technologies intelligently to create new products – and to do so faster than anyone else – is becoming essential for survival. This may appear from the perspective of a startup to be a challenge that can be mastered. What, however, does this requirement mean for “the old tankers” and large corporations that operate on the basis of “legacy structures” and so do not appear to be at all innovative, trusting more, as in the past, in the uncompromising drive to increase efficiency? As is our usual procedure, we do not speak ex cathedra from our own position, but ask renowned experts and top managers to report on their experience (eg. Thomas Sattelberger, Uwe Tigges, CHRO RWE, Tom Oliver, Tom Oliver Group, Prof. Thomas Edig, formerly chief personnel officer at Porsche, since 1 Octobre 2015 management board at VW Commercial Vehicles, Frank Kohl-Boas, Google; Thorsten Unger, Director of the GAME e.V., Dietmar Welslau, Group’s Officer for HR transformation at DTAG; Niall Dune, CSO, British Telecom; Georg Pepping, Managing Director HR, T-Systems International GmbH)
How to hire a CINO that can build lasting innovation capabilities.
The way businesses need to organize and behave has fundamentally shifted. Across industries, companies, and organizational functions, we have heard many of the world’s most innovative companies echo the same challenge: businesses must urgently embrace a more nimble and entrepreneurial approach in order to stay competitive. We call this challenge of how big companies can leverage scale while staying innovative “big entrepreneurship.” The Rising Billion is one of five pieces in our report, Big Entrepreneurship, aimed at deconstructing some of the complex challenges around big entrepreneurship and provide actionable insights for business leaders.
This report was created by Fahrenheit 212, a global innovation strategy and design firm. We define innovation strategies and develop new products, services, and experiences that create sustainable, profitable growth for our clients. We challenge the belief that innovation is inherently unreliable and have spent the last decade designing the method, building the model, and assembling the minds to make innovation a predictable driver of growth for our clients' businesses.
Being “Agile” has become one of the best misunderstood and misinterpreted concepts of the last five years. Most approaches lack a deeper understanding of the problems “agile management” was designed for: the constantly increasing complexity and uncertainty of businesses in digital, that is: exponential times. This presentation introduces the need for and concept of becoming a responsive business and outlines key lessons derived from our own transformation into a responsive, radically user and future driven, self-organized and agile company.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

7. In the next 10 years, almost
every theory we’ve learned about
“management” in b-school will be
retested.
8. Looking back the last 50 years we’ll quickly
realize that “management” was designed to
solve a very different kind of business
problem -to perform certain tasks in a
repetitive fashion and a controlled manner
while increasing scale and scope both
locally and globally.

10. Throughout history, seismic shifts have
wiped out market leaders and created
entirely new industries. Today, conditions
are remarkably ripe for innovation—capital
is ample and disruptive new technologies
are springing up everywhere.
10
11. Yet many businesses are missing out—
over-managing and under-innovating.
What these businesses need most is need
a new way of seeing.
They need to the ability to look
beyond the status quo and see the
seeds of opportunity—the
disruptive collisions that innovation
is built on. That’s what this
playbook is all about.
11
13. Why innovation?
Innovation is now the No.1 priority on
the CEOs' agenda. Whatever industry
you’re in, it’s gone from a quot;nice to havequot;
to a quot;must havequot;. And as it moves from
the fringes to the center, the way we
understand and approach it must shift
as well.
13
14. Why innovation?
Companies today gravitate towards one
of the two cultures, the innovation-driven
or the execution-driven. They need both
to succeed.
Forget innovation as a serendipitous art. It’s
time for innovation as a science—something
organizations can develop, execute and
measure like any other business initiative.
14
15. There's a common—and mistaken—belief
that innovation needs to be radical, edgy, a
little bit crazy. But in a business strategy
context, there’s nothing crazy about it. In
fact, it boils down to doing three things
well.
15
16. 1
Looking for great ideas that can be
brought to market in order to meet a set
of well-defined but previously unmet
customer needs
16
18. 3
Figuring out how to manage risks and
customer adoption and navigate through
different strategic options along the way.
18
19. Today, many organizations are feeling
inadequate. They desperately want to
innovate, but they’re not sure where to
start.
19
20. Here’s the good news—if your
organization has survived this long
you’ve probably innovated fairly recently
and fairly successfully.
20
21. The real issue, then, is not whether you
can innovate. Instead, it’s a question of
where you are positioned on the
innovation spectrum.
21
22. In other words, the fundamental
question you should be asking yourself
is not “how do we become serial
innovators?”. It’s “how do we take our
track record of innovation (however
modest it might be) and really crank it
up?”
22
23. Innovation is about discipline, but not of
the six sigma or process-centric
variety. It requires a different type of
training and different kinds of tools. It
requires a structured approach to
experimentation.
23
24. quot;I have said for 20 years that our success is not an entitlement and now it's
proving to be a reality. Let's be smarter about how we are spending our
time, money and resources. Let's get back to the core. Push for innovation
and do the things necessary to once again differentiate Starbucks from all
others.quot;
- Howard Schultz
24
25. Here’s some good news—the
process of creating purposeful and
profitable innovations is not as
inherently unpredictable as you
might think.
25
27. 1
You are the market leader
Sometimes a cause for celebration is also a
warning sign. Market leaders still need think and
behave like challengers—even if they are
dominant players in their categories.
27
28. 2
You generate 80% of your
revenue from your existing
product offerings.
Remember what they say about eggs and baskets.
28
29. 3
The word “Google” does not
show up in your strategic plan
If you’re not moving ahead, you’re standing still.
29
30. 4
The tenure of your average
CMO is 12 months
Scapegoats can distract you from the real

32. Watching for shifts

power of the double bottom line—with
shareholders and society as a whole sharing the
benefits.
