You'LL Learn

  • Decode M measures cultural relevancy using the concept of momentum
  • Momentum is mass (volume of conversation) x velocity (speed at which the conversation travels) Velocity is where the how people share the brand, talk about it and engage with it. It is where the emotion is
  • Momentum begets momentum – if you have it, it takes you forward, to maintain it you need to continue to transform or it will stop – go to the next thing whilst still ascending
  • Brands that succeed in right now recognise that the future has changed and there is no going back – they realise they have to adapt and innovate to maintain or build momentum. Companies have to ask how can we uniquely meet the needs of their clients/market?
  • With the shift to working from home we are wrestling with boundaries - where does work life stop and family life begin?
  • When using data be clear how you are going to use it and where you want to go with it, try and be pragmatic – look at those data points that tell and story and lead to a decision
  • Today’s leaders need strong analytical skills - understand how it works, how to crunch it and how to use it. Data science is as important as the other functions in the business
  • Its important to hire people with diverse views and skills and allow them to bring strong opinions forward
  • The concept of momentum applies to our life, we have to build personal momentum, continuously transform in different areas of your life – always look for the next thing to keep the momentum going
