This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstates[Spotlight] Integrating Tech and Iron With Chris Dempsey of CNH[Spotlight] How Case IH Turns Customer Insights Into Farm EquipmentWhere Tech Meets Tractor With Joe Miller of CNHStrategic Investing in Ag Technologies With Michele Lombardi of CNH VenturesAs part of this quarter's sponsorship, Case IH has given me access to some of their key people to learn more about what goes into developing the tractors and equipment that farmers use every day. This is our third and final installment of that series, so if you haven't already listened to the first two with Dan Klein and Chris Dempsey, I highly recommend you go do that after listening to this spotlight. Today's interview features Scott Harris, who at the time of this interview was the Brand President at Case IH. In the time since the interview took place, it was announced that Scott took on the role of president of CNH North America, so congratulations to Scott on that. Scott told me he feels like he was destined to work in the ag industry but his story began as a secondary education teacher in Applied Technology. From there he spent over 20 years in the automotive and finance industries, and says he found his calling when he joined CNH Industrial in 2006. Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs, engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor. The new Magnum is purposefully designed to answer farmers' needs in every design and engineering choice. Improved horsepower for pulling heavier loads, faster. Bundled, integrated and ready-to-go precision tech for greater accuracy in the field. And a transmission farmers can tweak for improved control and performance in different tasks. That kind of design thinking is exactly where the future of ag is headed, and that's why you'll be hearing me talk to the folks at Case IH at different points throughout this quarter about what they do and how they're working to push the ag forward.

In season two of The Future We Want, we're shifting from philosophy to practice and spotlighting the leaders and brave ideas that are reshaping our world and creating a radically better future for food, fashion, retail, education, the outdoors and more. Join us for a new conversation with leaders who won't wait on the things that can't. See you in the future.

All of us are going through unprecedented transformations; the way we communicate, the way we shop and connect with others have changed. And even when we are longing for life to go back to normal, most likely, many things will not go back to the way they were before the pandemic. The same goes for companies and brands. Reality forced them to change the way they do business, and they had to adapt to people's new habits and preferences. Those who identify the best path of adapting will be the fortunate ones, the ones that will emerge victorious in the post-pandemic world. Almost one year after our first interview, Marc Cloosterman is with us again to talk about the future of branding in the world during and after the pandemic. Marc is the Founder and CEO of VIM Group; he is an accomplished speaker and blogger on various global platforms. He is co-chair of the Page working group on Corporate Brand, country chair of Page in Germany and The Netherlands, and ambassador of the working group on Brand Leadership of the European Association of Communication Directors. He is also the author of Future Proof Your Brand. In this episode, we talked about Marc's observations on what changes we can expect from consumers in the following years. Since many people have relocated during the pandemic, Marc kindly shared how he thinks cities will re-arrange after the pandemic. We also talked about the future of the real estate industry and how companies are shifting into inbound marketing. Marc shared many interesting insights about interface power and how new platforms adapt to the imminent interface changes. Tune in and listen to Episode 37 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe to hear Marc's masterclass about the future of branding in the forthcoming years. Some Questions I Ask:What have you learned from working with these various corporations managing your own company in this situation?

In this last episode of the 3-part series: three keys to building a successful brand, today's episode is centered on leadership. No doubt you saw this one coming, but you may be surprised by the 3 pieces of leadership Robert Kiyosaki shares that are required to help build your brand. The first piece of leadership is being visionary. We have talked about this one in the past, so this piece probably isn't much of a surprise to you. Inherently you probably already have a vision for your business. You know where you want to go, where you want your business to be in 5 years, 10 years, etc. Our responsibility as leaders is to be visionary and to share that vision with our team. Are you sharing your vision with your team? The second aspect of leadership is being a cheerleader. To me, this one was a no brainer as well. Of course we need to cheer on and encourage our team. If they receive praise, they understand what good performance looks like versus bad performance. They understand the behaviors you want them to model in order to be seen as a successful employee in your business. Praise, encouragement, and cheerleading help our teams perform correctly, perform well, and it propels them forward. Are you doing this regularly? Now, the third role that a leader must play within their team is being a pitbull. And yes, this is the one that got me. I had to read that one twice as I read Robert's article. But when I digested it, it made sense. I knew the concept, but hadn't named it as aptly as he has. So what is it? Robert Kiyosaki says we as leaders have to be pitbulls when it comes to keeping our teams focused on the the mission. We cannot allow our teams to get distracted by other issues. As you move forward throughout the day today, your challenge is to think about your leadership through the lens of building your brand. Do you display this combination of leadership at a high level? Are there one or more pieces you need to be more purposeful about in your leadership? (For me, now that it has been named, I am going to be more of a pitbull about keeping my team focused. I do this already, but maybe not as aggressively as I should have been. Digesting this information has given me permission to be appropriately aggressive.) Spend the time today to self-reflect, create a plan on where you will focus more of your efforts and energy, and move forward being a stronger leader in these 3 areas in order to build your brand.

This episode will take you through 4 ways to architect your brand strategy.  Almost every organisation gets this wrong at some point in their journey.  In fact, we look at how leaders like Coke or BMW have made great decisions and bad decisions over the years in managing their brand. This episode covers the four primary methods of brand architecture:1/ Parent led2/ Family of leaders3/ Parent endorsed4/ Lead individual  We look at examples of each type of architecture and discover how some of the best brands in the world have set up their strategy for success or failure. Learn from the best and apply this to your business. Find our more at www.blirt.co

Darrell Bazzell serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at University of Texas at Austin. Two decades in public service taught Darrell Bazzell a few things. His experience working with governors and policy makers helped him navigate government and thus how to move projects forward in academia. “I think the thing that really carried forward was the ability to think broadly, to quickly diagnose an issue,” says Bazzell. “I understood how fiscal and administrative matters worked on a policy level. … being a creative problem solver is the skill that translated the most.” This week on the show, Bazzell tells of his work navigating the waters of shared governance in light of decision making and leadership. He shares observations to help new CBOs around autonomy and ownership, and how to learn your institution’s inner workings in an effort to get things done as your portfolio — inevitably — grows!

"Digital is content, content is stories." Listeners of the podcast know that I am a big fan of storytelling as a brand building tool. And I'm not alone. David Aaker has had a storied career in branding and marketing, as both an academic at UC Berkeley and Vice-Chairman of Prophet. He's also the author of 17 books including his latest, Creating Signature Stories. We discussed all of this and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About David Aaker David Aaker, the Vice-Chairman of Prophet and Professor Emeritus of Marketing Strategy at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, is the winner of four career awards for contributions to the science of marketing (the Paul D. Converse Award), marketing strategy (the Vijay Mahajan Award), the theory and practice of marketing (the Buck Weaver Award), and Brilliance in Marketing (NYAMA Marketing Hall of Fame). He has published over 100 articles and 17 books including Strategic Market Management, Managing Brand Equity, Building Strong Brands, Brand Leadership (co-authored with Erich Joachimsthaler) Brand Portfolio Strategy, From Fargo to the World of Brands, Spanning Silos, Brand Relevance, Aaker on Branding, and his latest book Creating Signature Stories. His books have sold well over one million copies and have been translated into eighteen languages. Named as one of the top five most important marketing/business gurus in 2007, Professor Aaker has won awards for the best article in the California Management Review and (twice) in the Journal of Marketing. A recognized authority on brand equity and brand strategy, he is. A regular columnist for AMA’s Marketing News, he writes regularly at Linkedin and davidaaker.com. Episode Highlights Branding doesn't start and stop with your advertising. "Brand has to permeate everything. The most effective thing they (VPs, CMOs) can do is stimulate conversation." Breaking down organizational silos is key to building a standout brand. "Digital is content, content is stories." As the saying goes — facts tell, stories sell. As David's new book Creating Signature Stories explores, if you wrap what you have to say in a story it persuades people and is recalled more effectively. Which brands are effective storytellers? David shared how story helped Barclays rehab their reputation after being the least-trusted brand. He also points to soap brands Lifebuoy and Dove for their ability to tell bigger stories. "That emotion gets transferred to the brand." Looking back on a long career in marketing, what would David say to marketers today? "The principles are the same — segmentation, positioning, putting consumers first. The levers are different. Social media has changed everything. That's a problem and an opportunity." What's one key skill that marketers today need? "I was a statistician for the first 15 years and there's a lot of potential there today with analytics. And if you have a flair for strategy and creativity." What brand has made David smile recently? "Knoor Soup did this marvelous promotion all about flavor." The soup company hypothesized that people with compatible flavor profiles have a better chance of falling in love. Talk about telling a bigger story!

They can provide clarity and inspiration. The challenge is to find, evaluate, refine and leverage great stories. In this interview you will learn: How stories persuade more than facts How higher-purpose signature stories inspire individuals in their professional and personal life Why a story with intriguing, involving, characters and plot can be an energy source How signature stories add visibility and energy to you or your brand.

“As marketing leaders, we have to give up control.” As CEO of Marketing Insider Group, author Michael Brenner knows a thing or two about marketing and leadership. With a career ranging from startups to SAP and Nielsen, Brenner helps organizations understand how they can build a better brand by answering the tough questions on strategy and leadership. We discussed all of this and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast.   About Michael Brenner Michael Brenner is a globally-recognized keynote speaker, author and the CEO of Marketing Insider Group. He has worked in leadership positions in sales and marketing for global brands like SAP and Nielsen, as well as for thriving startups. Today, Michael shares his passion on leadership and marketing strategies that deliver customer value and business impact. He is recognized by the Huffington Post as a Top Business Keynote Speaker and by Forbes as a top CMO Influencer. Episode Highlights What big issue to marketing leaders face today? “I sense a lot of fear. Coca-Cola got rid of their CMO role recently. I joke sometimes that marketing has a marketing problem. We do better through leadership and innovation. And innovation doesn’t always come from the marketing department.” Mind = Blown. “Can I blow your mind for a second? As marketing leaders, we have to give up control.” Because human interaction is so important in brand building today, “We’re seeing HR become the new marketing department.” Your employees are the best way to tap into your customers. Speaking of your employees … “The average employee has 10 times as many connections as any brand. Plus, 3% of your employees are responsible for 30% of your website traffic.” What happens when you amplify this? Michael’s NPS for employee engagement. Everyone knows the Net Promoter Score or NPS. Well, Brenner has developed something similar to offer insight on employee engagement. “You have to ask employees if they feel that their ideas are encouraged. There’s a 100% correlation between employees having their ideas heard and having more loyal customers.” What brand has made Michael smile recently? “Amazon has changed my life.” Whether it’s delivering toilet paper to his house with four kids (as someone with five kids, I understand paper consumption) or helping his mom find an iPhone case, Amazon makes Michael — and many of us — smile on a regular basis.

For brands to remain top of mind, relevant, and increase sales, they must be innovative and create that “must have” factor. Brands that ignite a spirit of disruptive innovation place themselves at a huge advantage over their competition. BrandingBusiness Founding PartnerAlan Brew sits down with well-known author and branding guru, and Vice Chairman of Prophet, David Aaker, who shares examples of brands that have displayed such innovation and have left their competitors in the dust. Take for example Chrysler who in 1982 came out with the minivan. The brand invested 2/3 of a billion dollars into the minivan subcategory, sold 200,000 in the first year and went 16 years without any competition. Tune in to hear of other brands who have taken a risk to stand apart from the competition.

“A brand is not just to make marketing better. It’s to lead the company into the future.” Erich Joachimsthaler of Vivaldi Partners has a decidedly global perspective on brand building. The author of Brand Leadership and the new Hidden in Plain Sight has spoken at conferences and corporate events around the world in English, German, and Spanish. We discussed the most recent developments in brand strategy and evolution on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Erich Joachimsthaler After a career of 15 years in academics and extensive professional work experience in several large multinational companies, Erich Joachimsthaler founded Vivaldi Partners. He is actively engaged in many consulting projects for leading companies and brands. In addition to his consulting work, Erich does extensive research on global brands and the formulation of corporate and business-unit level strategies. A sought-after speaker, he also conducts executive-level conferences and workshops around the world in English, German, and Spanish. Erich is a published thought leader and his book Brand Leadership, co-written with David A. Aaker and translated into 14 languages, is considered a groundbreaking discussion on the recent developments in brand strategy. He has just completed a new book, Hidden in Plain Sight, that focuses on the role of brands in creating economic value and growth for firms. Erich is also the author of more than 40 articles and case studies in leading academic and business journals, including Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, and Business Week. Erich has held academic faculty positions in the US and Europe and taught in various executive programs in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. He holds masters and doctorate degrees from universities in Germany and the U.S., and completed his education with a Post-Doctorate Fellowship at Harvard Business School. Episode Highlights “Brand has evolved significantly.” With social media, we can create “feelings and thoughts in our consumers’ minds. In the future, we’ll have an inner sanctum — an inner circle — of brands” who we rely on more and more. Branding on the front end and the back end. “The ‘60s was all about the golden age of branding … TV ads. In the ‘90s we started getting smarter about framework. On the front end, you have the brand. On the back-end, you have the overall business strategy.” What kind of education does a brand manager today need? “A CMO I knew once in Munich ended up running the firm’s financial operations in Asia. He then came back as CEO” with a better idea on the overall brand vision and direction. Brand thinking requires a broad business perspective. What is social currency and how has social media impacted brand building? That’s the focus on Erich’s latest work at Vivaldi Partners. The firm’s new study Business Transformation Through Greater Customer Centricity: The Power of Social Currency. View the report. What brand has made Erich smile recently? One of Erich’s favorite brands was recommended by his daughter. He likes GoPro because “they’ve leveraged their social currency so well.” To learn more, go to vivaldigroup.com.
