From Coyhaique to Puyuhuapi to Laguna San Rafael (geo-referenced)Gerard Prins
Geo-referenced images of our travels from Santiago de Chile to Coihayque and the surrounding areas and a boat trip from Puerto Chacabuco to Termas de Puyuhuapi, from there to the San Rafeal Lagoon and back to Chacabuco between Oct 17 to 21, 2008.
[Presented at 7th International Penguin Conference, Hobart, Tasmania, September 2007]
The distribution of prey for penguins is often a result of physical oceonographic processes. This is particularily so for penguin species breeding in isolated oceanic areas like sub-Antarctic islands. Snares penguins are primarily planktivorous foragers that find their food in a pelagic environment where prey distribution is a product of currents and frontal systems. During the incubating phase of breeding, Snares penguins have been found to forage at the Subtropical Front which is located some 200 km east of the Snares. However, after the chicks have hatched the penguins' foraging ranges are restricted by nesting duties so that the penguins must find food closer to the island. A possible destination could be to the north of the Snares where a warm current transports nutrient-rich and productive water east towards the Subtropical Front. We examined the foraging and diving behaviour of female Snares penguins during the chick-guard stage using GPS dive loggers and combined geographical and dive data for spatial analysis. The results show a strong correlation of dive behaviour and sea surface temperature and underline the importance of warm water of sub-tropical origin for chick rearing Snares penguins.

Seven principles for survival in the XXI CenturyGerard Prins
A call to action to young people today. We need your brains, energy, skill and creativity.
We understand old-school leaders may frustrate you, but fear not. They are coaching and protecting you in their own, particular manner.
Incorporate these seven, simple principles and be on your way.
Keep in mind though, that even if they may sound simple, they're hard to practice.
Good luck!
Simple Idea evaluation. New, Attractive, Feasible Model (NAF)Gerard Prins
New, Attractive, Feasible (NAF) A simple method to score ideas according to these three criteria, essentially based on “gut-feeling”. The primary objective of NAF is to determine the probability of implementation, because if an idea is neither new nor appealing, but still very feasible, the likelihood of its implementation is low, which rules it out as a candidate for a short-list of potential break-through ideas.

The creative process, six common creative techniques and examplesGerard Prins
Applied Creativity is a process that starts with problem definition, followed by analysis, followed by creative production (cyclical divergent and convergent thinking), followed by execution.
In this presentation I briefly describe the steps that could be taken and a few useful tools to make this process more structured and - hopefully - productive.
For your edutainment, I also describe six of the most common creative techniques used in advertising, each illustrated with examples of what I consider good to excellent creative work.

Building Competitive Advantage. Model & ExamplesGerard Prins
A model for creating a Unique Value Proposition, based on attributes.
The objective of Competitive Strategy is to Contribute to the creation of Competitive Advantage.
Competitive Advantage can (among other ways) be built by carefully selecting specific product/service attributes which, in turn, may lead to a Single Minded, Unique Value Proposition.
The UVP is a relevant, attractive and distinctive advantage of a product/service, seen through the eyes of the consumer; i.e.: worded in such a way that the target audience can positively relate to it.
In this presentation I propose a model aimed at helping the planner or strategist to arrive at a UVP by systematically reviewing and selecting proper attributes vs. those of the competition, starting out from the supposition that a Customer Problem has been clearly defined.
Of course, achieving the latter is a chapter in itself.

La globalización, la competencia y el futuro. ¿Por qué hay que ser creativo?Gerard Prins
Charla desarrollada para los alumnos de publicidad, marketing y gestión de negocios de la Universidad de Concepción, campus Chillán, patrocinado por la Facultad de Administración y Negocios y auspiciado por CQ Group, Chillán.
Predice que los alumnos de hoy trabajarán en industrias aún no inventadas, que la educación como la conocemos hoy en 2030 ya está obsoleta y que en 2045 o antes estarán en competencia con niños con un implante computacional en el cerebro.
Contiene varias sugerencias para que los jóvenes anticipan el futuro, para estar más preparados para competir.
(ACTUALIZADO) Creatividad en el contexto social de las organizaciones. Los ef...Gerard Prins
Distintos estudios globales indican que los lideres corporativos no incentivan ni modelan activamente los comportamientos estimados necesarios para fomentar la innovación en sus organizaciones.
Asimismo, este estudio entre 50 líderes corporativos chilenos confirma, en gran medida, lo que se constata en el ámbito global.
Aunque el 65% de los lideres corporativos declaran que la innovación es una prioridad, sólo el 34% lo tiene en su agenda estratégica, mientras solamente un 22% de sus subordinados considera que la innovación es una prioridad en su organización o de su liderazgo.
Parece que, más que la imposibilidad para aprender a ser creativa, es la rigidez organizacional y –más en particular– la poca habilidad de los lideres corporativos para fomentar la creatividad y crear entornos auspicios para ella, que está bloqueando la vía hacia organizaciones más creativas y –por ende– innovadoras.
En "Imagina lo Imposible" propongo un modelo y una serie de métodos y herramientas que pueden ayudar a los líderes del Siglo XXI para crear entornos auspicios para la creatividad, e inspirar el espíritu innovador en sus colaboradores.

Como construir ventaja competitiva a través de atributosGerard Prins
Aunque todo el mundo, especialmente el académico, habla de los llamados "insights", considero que la gran mayoría de las propuestas de valor válidos se construyen sobre atributos, los que - correctamente analizados - se traducen en la muy olvidada, pero no por esto menos válida propuesta única de venta o, en inglés, USP.
De hecho, creo que el concepto del "insight" es tan mal entendido, definido, enseñado y aplicado que prefiero lejos el USP para llegar a propuestas de valor únicos, relevantes y atractivos para los grupos objetivos.
Los alumnos, al menos, entienden esta lógica con mucho mayor facilidad que el siempre esquivo insight (a veces confundido con hallazgo) que cada uno enseña a su antojo.
Life, fire and water in the Atacama. The driest desert in the worldGerard Prins
A photo essay spanning some 25 years of occasional shooting in the world's driest desert, Atacama, in the Chilean north.
Surprisingly, water is quite abundant in select places, and so is wild life.
Humans have also been living here for many centuries and done quite well.
The local Lican Antai people have exclusive water rights and distribute it between family groups or so-called Ayllú, often using channel systems that date back to pre-colonial times.
However, today, big mining and tourism suck up underground water like the proverbial sponge and one day soon the show may end, for both the locals and wild life.
The mining companies, on the other hand, will still be here, even in the absence of virtually free water.
They will pump it up from 50-million dollar desalinization plants on the coast, money they made by ripping off the desert - and the local people - in the first place.
¿Está EE.UU. financiando su propia destruccion?Gerard Prins
Un análisis del efecto de las narco-guerillas, el comercio ilícito de drogas, el crimen organizado y de las políticas exteriores de Venezuela en la seguridad interna e intereses de la nación de Estados Unidos, efectuado en 2010.
Concluye que - con un efecto económico negativo estimado en el orden de 250 mil millones de dólares - EE.UU. está, una vez más, efectivamente financiando a sus propios enemigos.
La Historia se repite. Los motivos y maniobras de Putin para quedarse con la ...Gerard Prins
¿Por qué Putin está tan determinado a mantener a Ucrania dentro de la esfera de poder de la Federación Rusa (ex-USSR) y por qué se ha movido tan decididamente a efectuar la anexación de la Crimea a mano forzado?
Este análisis estratégico efectuado en 2011 a partir de la "Primavera Árabe", explica al menos una parte de sus maniobras geo-estratégicas y -políticas.
Asimismo, si sale con lo suyo debido a la respuesta débil de la UE y EE.UU., el próximo paso sería - probablemente - aumentar la presión sobre los estados Bálticos: Estonia, Letonia y Lituania.
Imagina lo Imposible. Manual Práctico y Caja de Herramientas para la Innovación.Gerard Prins
Presentación extendido posteriormente, pero originalmente creada para la defensa de tesis de grado para el Magíster en Estrategia U. Mayor / Escuela Militar del Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins (Chile).
Propone lo siguiente: "Ya no es suficiente Imaginar el Futuro o Visualizar Posibilidades,
es cada vez más necesario “Imaginar lo Imposible” para impulsar el éxito de las organizaciones del Siglo XXI".
Investiga dos hipótesis:
1 - Se puede aprender a ser creativo
2 - Se puede "Creativizar" a las organizaciones
Concluye, entre otros, que es el liderazgo y la rigidez organizacional que están obstaculizando la "Creativización" de las organizaciones.
Esta tesis es el anticipo del libro "Imagina lo Imposible" donde, además de esbozar el entorno competitivo en cambio híper acelerado, se describe el proceso creativo "PEPCI" (Planificación Estratégica y Producción Creativa Integrada) – de 7 pasos – y se sugieren metodologías para mejorar el desempeño creativo / innovativo de las organizaciones.
Documenta y describe 230 herramientas para el análisis, el pensamiento estratégico, creativo, ideación y ideación colaborativa, selección de ideas, educación creativa y la psicología de la creatividad.
La Vida y Muerte de las Marcas. ¿Dónde están Ahora?Gerard Prins
Sobre como las marcas en los entornos competitivos modernos de cambio acelerado deben reinventarse permanentemente para responder a las necesidades cambiantes de sus clientes y las condiciones variantes en sus mercados.
Abre con un recorrido de las marcas famosas de antaño que ya no están entre nosotros, para luego analizar las herramientas que pueden ser útiles para la exitosa gestión de marcas.
Describe, finalmente, los tres factores que el autor considera esenciales para impulsar la innovación en las empresas: Liderazgo, Colaboración y Creatividad.
Grandes Ideas, Grandes Marcas. Herramientas para la Gestion de Marcas.Gerard Prins
Sobre la gestión de marcas, con un especial énfasis en las empresas medianas y chicas.
Desarrollado originalmente para un curso de Prochile orientado a empresas exportadoras, contiene un esbozo de las herramientas disponibles para una efectiva gestión de marcas, como, por ejemplo: "Brand Key", Mapeo y Análisis de Entornos Competitivos, también llamado Mapeo del Ecosistema y Pensamiento Sistémico, entre otros.
