The document discusses how society is shifting towards right-brain thinking that values creativity, empathy, and big-picture thinking over traditional left-brain logic and analysis. It summarizes research by Daniel Pink predicting the keys to future success will be developing senses like design, story, empathy, play, and finding meaning. The text also advocates developing intuition, balancing high-tech and high-touch approaches, and using technology to enhance cognitive abilities rather than replace human connections. It argues a society built on these concepts will flourish by creating opportunities for growth.

Brands And Digital Culture: It Doesn't Have To SuckAvin Narasimhan
Presentation I gave at the end of February 2011 at The Olin School of Business @ Washington University in St Louis. Part of a new marketing seminar series they've started with the goal of bringing different types of industry folks into their classrooms to give lessons of both success and failure to future brand managers and CMOs. My session specifically was around what role digital platforms can play for brands, and to discuss some broad ideas about how it works and doesn't work.
The three drivers demanding a change to the business of influence and the successful socialization of the enterprise. Recommendation to think in terms of the Six Influence Flows and adopt the Influence Scorecard approach to social strategy definition, mapping and execution.

I love Boston! My love affair with the city began in the late 1960s when I first heard the group “Beacon Street Union” playing on the banks of the muddy Charles. In 1971 I entered this business and the love affair grew into the early 1980s when we as “kids” whispered the names of legendary investors like Peter Lynch, Dean LeBaron, Paul Cabot, and David Babson while discussing markets at various Boston cocktail parties.
Keynote by Michel Lent for the DigitalAge 2.0 conference in Sao Paulo, August, 2010.
In an era of lots of content and not enough time, in the midst of the culture of ‘free’, a vital question worries the media outlets: if the traditional revenue streams for content have shrunk and there is still no alternative business models, how will media survive? And what’s our role as readers, brands, and advertisers in the future of the intellectual production?

Creative destruction versus Creative EvangelisationDinis Guarda
What is our human singularity? What is creativity in a digitalised, nano technology - IoT world?
Creative destruction refers to the incessant product and process innovation mechanism by which new production units replace outdated ones. It was coined by Joseph Schumpeter (1942), who considered it 'the essential fact about capitalism'.
What is Creative Evangelisation?
Preaching of the gospel or the practice of giving information about a particular doctrine or set of beliefs to others with the intention of converting others. Using digital tools and channels!

Liberty & Co Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity - Top 5 Trends 2014Shannon Lewis
As ever, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity was a marathon of ideas and insights. Now into its 61st year, this action packed festival, set along the French Riviera, attracted over 12,000 people from 94 countries. There was no shortage of data or points-of-view.
Liberty & Co. took a few steps back to distill for you what we found to be the key, and consistent, themes.
The Use-Case-Based AI Transformation Canvas is a strategic tool inspired by Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas, designed to identify potential use cases within companies that can be transformed through the implementation of digital and AI processes. This canvas aims to provide a structured approach for organizations to envision and plan their AI transformation initiatives. By systematically examining the current setup, desired outcomes, and the transformation process, companies can gain a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved in leveraging AI technologies.
In der heutigen schnelllebigen Geschäftswelt ist die Nutzung der Kraft der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) für Organisationen, die Erfolg erzielen und sich an der Spitze halten möchten, von entscheidender Bedeutung. Aber wo fängt man an? Folgen Sie diesen 10 Schritten, um die Kraft der KI zu nutzen und ihr Potenzial für Ihr Unternehmen zu entfesseln.
Markenabteilungen und Nachhaltigkeitsabteilungen ziehen nur selten am gleichen Strang. Vergleicht man die Markenstrategien verschiedenster Unternehmen mit deren Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien, so findet man hier nur selten Anschlussfähigkeit oder gar Kongruenz. Nachhaltigkeit und Marke sollten jedoch zusammengedacht werden. nouvé berlin bietet hierfür einen innovativen Managementansatz.
Suchen Sie nicht nach Bedürfnissen im Markt, die Sie erfüllen können. Schaffen Sie einfach ein Bedürfnis, das nur Sie erfüllen können!
Es gibt im Innovationsbereich einen sehr verbreiteten Ansatz: Unternehmen gehen auf die Suche nach Bedürfnissen, um diese dann mit neuen Produkten und Services zu befriedigen. Dieser Ansatz ist nicht nur wenig kreativ, er ist auch nicht sonderlich effizient und bringt vor allem kaum nennenswerte Innovationen hervor, meist eher kleinere Verbesserungen. Denn wenn man Leute fragt, was sie wollen, wollen sie meist genau das, was sie bereits haben, etwas schneller vielleicht, etwas billiger, etwas leichter zu bedienen und so weiter. Wenn man sich die großen, revolutionären Innovationen der letzten 20 Jahre genauer anschaut – das Internet, das Handy, Suchmaschinen, Navigationsgeräte, das iPhone, Facebook, Cloud Computing etc. –, stellt man fest: Sie sind nicht einfach nur Weiterentwicklungen bestehender Dinge. Sie machen eine neue Kategorie auf (W. Chan Kim und Renée Mauborgne nennen sie ‘Blue Oceans‘), kreieren Bedürfnisse, die es vorher so nicht gab – und die zunächst nur durch sie selbst gestillt werden können. Niemand äußerte das Bedürfnis zu Kopien, bevor es Kopierer gab, niemand redete über GPS-Navigation im Auto, bevor es die Technik dazu gab, niemand hatte das Bedürfnis, das Leben seiner Freunde in Echtzeit verfolgen zu können vor Facebook, und wenige glaubten, unbedingt von überall auf ihre Daten zugreifen zu müssen, bevor sie von Cloud Computing gehört hatten. Woher kommen solche revolutionären Ideen? Oft sind sie schon lange da, sind bereits imaginiert, ohne erfunden worden zu sein. Science-Fiction-Filme und -Romane zeigen uns oft eine Zukunft, die nur noch wenige Jahre vor uns liegt. Unternehmen sollten solche Zukunftsszenarien daher durchaus auch strategisch nutzen. Denn: “The future is already here – it’s just unevenly distributed” (William Gibson). Wie das geht, zeigt unsere Präsentation "FRONTLOADING FOR INNOVATION".
Die Marke ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der Unternehmensstrategie. Viele Mittelstandsunternehmen sehen sie jedoch nur als nachgelagerten Marketingaspekt – und verschenken dadurch wertvolles Potenzial.
Marken sind komplexe Sinnsysteme, die die Aufgabe haben, die Komplexität, in der wir leben, zu reduzieren. Sie geben uns als Verwender Orientierung und Sicherheit, motivieren uns als Mitarbeiter zu Höchstleistungen und liefern uns als Managern eine klare Entscheidungsgrundlage. Starke Marken bieten nicht nur Image und Identifikationsangebote für die Markenkommunikation, sondern essenzielle Aussagen für die Produktentwicklung, das Innovationsmanagement und das Service Design. Dass eine Marke nach diesem Verständnis nicht Anhängsel des Marketings sein kann und darf, versteht sich von selbst. Vielmehr geht es darum, die Marke möglichst hoch im Unternehmen anzusiedeln. Nicht umsonst sagt man, Markenmanagement sei Chefsache. Unternehmen, die markenorientiert denken und planen wollen, sollten daher zunächst ihre langfristigen Marken-, Design- und Innovationsstrategien aufeinander abstimmen. Gemeinsam bilden diese das Fundament und die Koordinaten für das Markenmanagement. Wie Sie Ihr Unternehmen markenorientierter machen können, erklärt Ihnen unsere Präsentation „MARKENBASIERTE UNTERNEHMENSORGANISATION“.
Bekanntermaßen werden Strategien entwickelt, um konkrete Ziele zu erreichen. Was aber, wenn das Ziel der Strategie die kontinuierliche Veränderung ist? Dann sprechen wir über Transformation.
Den Begriff der Transformation versteht man am besten durch sein Gegenteil: die Stagnation. Zu stagnieren, sich also nicht weiterzuentwickeln, bedeutet oft das Todesurteil für eine Marke oder ein Unternehmen. Das war schon vor 100 Jahren so. Heute haben die Veränderungen um uns herum allerdings ein Tempo erreicht, das Innovationszyklen immer weiter zusammenschrumpfen lässt – bis hin zur kontinuierlichen Erneuerung. Unternehmen, die bei diesem Tempo mithalten wollen, brauchen entweder einen guten Herzschrittmacher – oder ein neues Selbstverständnis: Weg von der Stabilität, hin zur Agilität. Wenn wir bei GREENKERN über Transformation sprechen, dann geht es uns nicht nur ums Finden der nächsten stabilen Marken- oder Unternehmenskonfiguration, sondern darum, eine Marke bzw. ein Unternehmen in die Lage zu versetzen, sich kontinuierlich und optimal seiner sich verändernden Umwelt anzupassen. Transformation ist für uns maximale Performance durch vorausschauende Anpassungsfähigkeit. Um diese zu ermöglichen, braucht es ein neues Verständnis von Markenführung, adaptive Businessmodelle und eine Organisation, die auf permanente Anpassung justiert ist. Erfahren Sie mehr darüber in unserer Präsentation "From Configuration to Transformation".
Das Problem ist nicht der Mangel an Daten, es ist das fehlende Verständnis dafür, wie man diese Daten nutzbar machen kann.
Das Sammeln und Verarbeiten von Daten war bis vor Kurzem noch mit einem enormen Aufwand verbunden. Das Web 2.0 hat uns alle zu Produzenten von Inhalten und damit zu Teilnehmern an einer gigantischen, globalen Konversation gemacht. Erst jetzt ist es möglich geworden, (eigen- und fremd-) markenbezogene User-Aktivitäten mit digitalen Tools in Echtzeit zu verfolgen, ihre Essenz zu filtern und für das Markenmanagement nutzbar zu machen. Die heutigen Analysemöglichkeiten gehen dabei weit über die einfach ersichtlichen Kennzahlen wie z. B. Webseitenbesucher, Facebook-Fans oder Bannerklicks hinaus. Im Fokus moderner Analysetools stehen Stimmungsbilder rund um die Marke (Opinion Mining, Sentiment Analysis), die Früherkennung möglicher Probleme (Issue Detection) und die Erfolgsmessung von Aktivitäten (Campaign Monitoring). Damit ist das Interesse aller Beteiligter an der Markenführung die wichtigste Voraussetzung für die Entwicklung eines solchen Marken Steuerungstools. Die Präsentation „MARKENFÜHRUNG IM DIGITALEN ZEITALTER“ stellt Ihnen unseren Ansatz des Brand Performance Measurements vor und gibt Ihnen einen Einblick in die Funktionsweise unseres Brand Performance Cockpits.
Die digitale Welt endet nicht an der Grenze der Wirklichkeitsnachahmung oder -simulation.
Vielmehr sehen wir, dass die neuen technologischen Möglichkeiten unsere Sinne nicht einfach nur „reizen“ (über unsere Perzeption), sondern dass sie tatsächlich auch gänzlich „neue“ Sinneserlebnisse ermöglichen (durch Assoziation oder Evokation).
Das Digitale wird damit zu einem Katalysator für die Erweiterung unserer sinnlichen Fähigkeiten.
Unternehmensvisionen sind wichtig. Sie sind die Grundlage jeder Unternehmenskultur. Aber es reicht nicht, nur eine Vision zu haben – man muss sie auch leben. Eine inspirierte, inspirierende Unternehmenskultur ist das Ergebnis guter Führung; eine ambitionierte Markenführung mit Gespür für die wesentlichen, erfolgskritischen Details das Resultat guten Managements.

People don‘t like ads. The more access people have to technology, the more they will use it to skip advertising. When you as a consumer want content, you just want content. You don‘t want to be interrupted! The sole role of future advertising will be to drive traffic to the websites – where people can dive into a broader brand experience...
Service design is getting hot as a topic. What we miss in most discussions are the future and brand aspects of great service designs. Because really outstanding services are not only fulfilling existing needs, but are inventive and creating new needs.
In studies of the networks of citations between scientific papers, Derek de Solla Price showed in 1965 that the number of links to papers—i.e., the number of citations they receive—followed a Pareto distribution or power law. Recent interest in scale-free networks started in 1999 with work by Albert-László Barabási and colleagues who mapped the topology of a portion of the Web, finding that some nodes, which they called "hubs", had many more connections than others and that the network as a whole had a power-law distribution of the number of links connecting to a node...

kind of person with a certain kind of mind... computer
programmers who could crank code, lawyers who
could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch
numbers. But the keys to the kingdom are changing
hands. The future belongs to a very different kind of
person with a very different kind of mind - creators
and empathisers, pattern recognisers and meaning
makers. These people - artists, inventors, designers,
storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers
- will now reap society's richest rewards and share
it's greatest joys." Daniel H. Pink, A Whole New Mind

and a new approach to life – one that prizes
aptitudes like 'high concept' and 'high touch.'

DESIGN
Not just function but also DESIGN. It’s no longer sufficient to create a product, a service, an
experience, or a lifestyle that’s merely functional. Today it’s economically crucial and personally
rewarding to create something that is also beautiful, whimsical, or emotionally engaging.

STORY
Not just argument but also STORY. When our lives are brimming with information and data, it’s not
enough to marshal an effective argument. Someone somewhere will inevitably track down a
counterpoint to rebut your point. The essence of persuasion, communication, and self-
understanding has become the ability also to fashion a compelling narrative.

SYMPHONY
Not just focus but also SYMPHONY. Much of the Industrial and Information Ages required focus and
specialization. But as white-collar work gets routed to Asia and reduced to software, there’s a new
premium on the opposite aptitude: putting the pieces together, or what I call Symphony. What’s in
greatest demand today isn’t analysis but synthesis—seeing the big picture, crossing boundaries,
and being able to combine disparate pieces into an arresting new whole.

EMPATHY
Not just logic but also EMPATHY. The capacity for logical thought is one of the things that makes us
human. But in a world of ubiquitous information and advanced analytic tools, logic alone won’t do.
What will distinguish those who thrive will be their ability to understand what makes their fellow
woman or man tick, to forge relationships, and to care for others.

PLAY
Not just seriousness but also PLAY. Ample evidence points to the enormous health and professional
benefits of laughter, lightheartedness, games, and humor. There is a time to be serious, of course.
But too much sobriety can be bad for your career and worse for your general well-being. In the
Conceptual Age, in work and in life, we all need to play.

more significant desires: purpose, transcendence, and spiritual fulfillment.

INTUITION
Intuition does what the intellect alone cannot: sense truths that do not follow directly from old
assumptions, old logic, or old programming. Intuitive thinking is therefore the only way to reliably
come up with anything truly new because it gives you newfound vision. It is your internal compass
magnetized to absolute truth.

valuable in the new information
society precisely because there
is so much data. John Naisbitt

BALANCE
High touch becomes essential in an age of high tech. Technology will play an important role but it
cannot displace fundamental human connections. In a complex knowledge economy, old forms of
organization are not suitable any more. Formal and informal networks become major players in the
knowledge economy. In this digitally networked world, meeting face-to-face will become
increasingly important. In this context, the ability of cautiously establishing a high tech / high
touch balance is key.
19. The more technology we
introduce into our lives, the
more we seek a high touch
balance. John Naisbitt: High Tech – High Touch

ENHANCEMENT
The use of digital technology allows us to access cognitive power beyond our innate capacity.
Because of technology, our thinking will benefit from unprecedented, instant access to ongoing
worldwide discussions, all of recorded history, everything ever written, massive libraries of case
studies and collected data, and highly realistic simulated experiences equivalent to years or even
centuries of actual experience.

21. By extending our
minds into the
machine world,
The digitally enhanced person who will emerge from these developments, homo sapiens digital, differs
from today's human in two key aspects: He or she accepts digital enhancement as an integral fact of
human existence, and he or she is digitally wise. Digital wisdom is exhibited both in a considered use of
digital enhancements to complement innate abilities and in the use of enhancements to facilitate wiser
decision making. In an unimaginably complex future the unenhanced person, however wise, will not
have the tools of wisdom that will be available to even the least wise enhanced human.

Digital has been a major driving force in accelerating
innovation to an entirely new level. Surfing this particular
exponential wave requires people who are able to be
optimally creative, independent, responsive, energetic,
spontaneous, problem-solving, lateral-thinking,
iconoclastic and agile.
23. We believe that a society which is built on these
concepts will flourish and prosper and create the
substance for personal and economic growth in
the future.
