These economic times call for adaptive and creative business leaders to deliver a clear vision of what they believe they can achieve . . . however, many executives still ponder whether to hire talent or to hire knowledge? . . . take a cue from Albert Einstein:
" Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge tells us what was, whereas imagination tells us what will be."
So: 
• Hire knowledge if the goal is to keep the business stuck where it was, -OR-
• Hire talent and imagination if the goal is to drive the business forward with vision and a keen sense for detail ... to start planning for growth and the company's future ... to start innovating to contribute to PROFITS!
IdeationPro uses Marketing Building Blocks as an effective Risk Management technique to fortify the portion of a business that generates revenue and growth. The measurable goal is to improve business profits. How? By helping clients evaluate the connection between where the business is today and where it is going, then to plan for their desired future. Only then can clients work ON their business, spending each successive day moving the business closer and closer to the plan of where it should be . . . instead of leaving their future up to chance.
• Who needs Marketing & Risk Management?
. . . is like asking, "Who needs profit?"
• Who needs Business Development?
. . . the 90% of businesses who fail!
But isn't "Marketing" an extra overhead? . . . the first department to be cut during difficult economic times?
• NO ! "Marketing" is not merely advertising or PR.
Instead, take a lesson from "America's Most Admired Companies". If these Top 20 companies have only one thing to teach less admired companies, it's to "keep right on investing in innovation even when times are tough". "A difficult economic environment argues for the need to innovate more, not pull back," says American Express CEO Ken Chenault. (March 2008)
These Top 20 Companies "are no slouches at creating new markets and disrupting old ones either. Many of the innovations that the Most Admired bring to the market are incremental - small steady improvements that take a product that is already good and make it better." (FORTUNE Magazine, March 17, 2008, page 65)
This is the essence of Marketing Management, planning for growth and the company's future. Using innovation to contribute to PROFITS, not to overhead.
Consider this: Many businesses respond to market conditions rather than plan for them. Typically the business owner is very good at their profession, trade or craft. However, their focus is on the commodity . . . the commodity being produced is the business. Day after day management fights the same battles doing it in the same way as before. Working even harder IN the business is the general response to most market conditions. Relying on luck, speed, or a possible technical break-through is the norm. The problem is, growth and the company's future is left primarily to chance.
In contrast, successful businesses realize that someone else will always be luckier, faster, or have better reflexes. Instead, and in response to market conditions, they plan for growth and the company's future. The business is the business. Battles are fought by working ON the business utilizing the tools of Marketing Management and Business Development. Why are these important? To deliver Innovation and Creativity . . . that spirited ability essential to out-think the competition and to out-perform the marketplace during these tough economic times!
