Process? Yawn…
#ipamodernbriefing
— We’re getting bogged down in the debate between open vs. prescriptive, ideas vs. execution, proposition vs. engagement.
— We need a new way of working, not just a new brief / briefing.
— If collaboration’s too difficult, you’re doing it wrong.

— “How can I write a brief when the answer could be anything from an app to an ad?”
— You’re trying to use Waterfall to solve business problems/opportunities.
Planners need to stop trying to prescribe solutions to business problems through documentation.Instead be part of an Agile team iterating towards a solution.

Participation
Patricia McDonald
Isobar UK, Executive Planning Director@PatsMc
#ipamodernbriefing
#ipamodernbriefing
We may well debate the commercial merits of participation
#ipamodernbriefing
And some of our efforts may bemuse our consumers
#ipamodernbriefing
Nevertheless, for more and more of our consumers, participation is a way of life
#ipamodernbriefing
More and more of the content they see is filtered by friends’ participation
-17% of users consume news stories based on friends’ recommendations-28.8% watch online videos based on friends’ recommendations
Source: Global Web Index So if we want our content to be seen at all, we need a measure of participation
#ipamodernbriefing
More importantly, participation disrupts business models
#ipamodernbriefing
Participation disrupts business models
Disruption of supply
#ipamodernbriefing
Participation disrupts business models
Disruption of pricing models
#ipamodernbriefing
Participation disrupts business models
Disruption of distribution
#ipamodernbriefing
So how do we get better at briefing for participation?
#ipamodernbriefing
1. A business problem is a behavioural change in disguise
2. Think about network insights, not (only) consumer insights
3. From “the single thing we want to say” to “the single thing we’re going to make or do”
3 key themes:
#ipamodernbriefing
1. A business problem is a behavioural change in disguise
3 key themes:
#ipamodernbriefing
At the heart of every business problem today is an opportunity to change consumer behaviour
- Even in those areas we previously struggled to impact
#ipamodernbriefing
Start with a clear, simple, granular problem (N.B. these aren’t easy to get to)
-We need our 1m light usersto buy 1 more pack a year each
-Rate of sale is sky high but ourdistribution is a barrier to growth
THE PROBLEM
-Delivery costs are stripping the margin from our business
#ipamodernbriefing
Then identify the behaviour you need to change to make that happen
-We need each of our 1m light users to buy 1 more pack of butter a year
-Rate of sale is sky high but ourdistribution is a barrier to growth
-We need to create one additional baking occasion a year for these users
-We need our fans to become our distribution channel
THE PROBLEM THE BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
-Delivery costs are stripping the margin from our business
-We need to incentivise users to pool their delivery slots
#ipamodernbriefing
Move from “nice” sharing to, as Clay Shirky puts it “jackhammer sharing”
#ipamodernbriefing
1. A business problem is a behavioural change in disguise
2. Think about network insights, not (only) consumer insights
3 key themes:
#ipamodernbriefing
#ipamodernbriefing
Thinking about network insights ensures we understand why our target might participate with our platform
#ipamodernbriefing
It ensures we know how to properly balance effort and reward
#ipamodernbriefing
And it ensures we know how to design experiences to maximise the participation we need

1. A business problem is a behavioural change in disguise
2. Think about network insights, not (only) consumer insights
3. From “the single thing we want to say” to “the single thing we’re going to make or do”
3 key themes:
#ipamodernbriefing
The heart of the traditional creative brief:
What is the single thing we want to say?
#ipamodernbriefing
But we’ve established….
Participation disrupts business models
Consumers ability to participate has the power to impact ourclients’ businesses in more profound ways than ever before
The solution to a much more diverse range of business problemslies in changes to consumer behaviour
If we want to change behaviour, we’re probably not going to betalking at people……
#ipamodernbriefing
Put another way:
“Behaviour is motivation filtered by opportunity”
Clay Shirky, SxSW
#ipamodernbriefing
#ipamodernbriefing
What are we going to make or do that will enable the behaviour we need to see?
#ipamodernbriefing
In summary
1. A business problem is a
behavioural change in
disguise
2. Think about network insights,
not (only) consumer insights
3. From “the single thing we
want to say” to “the single
thing we’re going to make or
do”
What do we need people to do?
Why would they do it? -what are their network motivations?
What are we going tomake or do that will enable them to do it ?
