Seth Godin is one of my favorites and his message is always so simple… Today he reminds us that we really need to focus on the most important part of our business which is PEOPLE… thanks for being OUR PEOPLE!
Do you have a people strategy?
Hard to imagine a consultant or investor asking the CMO, "so, what's your telephone strategy?"
We don't have a telephone strategy. The telephone is a tool, a simple medium, and it's only purpose is to connect us to interested human beings.
And then the internet comes along and it's mysterious and suddenly we need an email strategy and a social media strategy and a web strategy and a mobile strategy.
No, we don't.
It's still people. We still have one and only one thing that matters, and it's people.
All of these media are conduits, they are tools that human beings use to waste time or communicate or calculate or engage or learn. Behind each of the tools is a person. Do you have a story to tell that person? An engagement or a benefit to offer them?
Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
