ITIL – The Industrialisation Of IT
„ITIL is to the IT industry what Henry Ford did to car manufacturing“ – that’s how a campaign strategy workshop started yesterday which I moderated for Glenfis AG, with the goal of promoting their ITIL jobs portal. It was a fascinating workshop that gave me new insights in how IT is going to change during […]

«Tricks für ein besseres Klima» – How Campaigning Can Achieve Behavioural Change
Despite of being on a holiday in Melbourne, I wrote an article on the pro:campaigning-Blog on important scientific findings for change management (how to make people change their behaviour).

Wenn der Fisch den Köder selbst entwickelt, beissen auch andere Fische darauf an
Was man beim Aufräumen alles findet… Getreu nach dem obigen Motto entwickelten Markus Sorg und ich vor fünf Jahren ein Workshop-Konzept, das es ermöglicht, Kampagnenstrategien durch die Zielgruppe für sich selbst entwickelt zu lassen.

Prämiert wurden die besten Slogans. 62 Texter und ein Campaigner hatten von ihnen entwickelte Slogans eingereicht. Der Campaigner (ich) gewann dann mit „Der Jungbrunnen aus der Flasche“ den […]
World Campaigning Forum: Learning from one another. To make our world a better place
During my career as a campaigning consultant and agency owner I came across a couple of books that marked milestones in the development of strategic thinking and the way business developers, marketers, strategists and communication specialists address change. I am thinking of people like: Marty Neumeier, author of The Brand Gap Alexandre Robert, co-author of […]
