What role does timing play in strategic thinking — for an organization's growth, but also for you and your career? New York Times best-selling author Daniel Pink says it can play a big part in how successful your strategy will be. “I think people underestimate timing,” he tells Dear HBR hosts Alison Beard and Dan McGinn. “We're very intentional in our lives about what we do. But when it comes to when we do things, we don't take it seriously enough. We're not intentional. And it has a material effect at very many levels of peoples' work lives.” In this episode, taped live in Washington, D.C., Pink discusses what to do when your company is slow to seize a market opportunity or the right career opportunity arrives at the wrong time. Whether an opportunity is for your company, your team, or your own career, timing really is everything.

Tras el éxito de su podcast insignia ‘IdeaCast’ ‘Harvard Business Review’ lanzará dos nuevos podcasts. Entérate de las tendencias del podcasting en cinco minutos. NotiPod Hoy: Tu resumen diario para mantenerte al día con el podcasting Tendencias ‘IdeaCast’ lleva doce años produciéndose y recibe más de un millón de descargas mensuales. ‘Women at Work' (‘Mujeres en el trabajo) y 'Dear HBR' (‘Querido HBR’) son los nuevos podcasts. Según El Blog MediaPost la revista quiere explorar a los podcasts como un medio de ingresos viable a medida que se mueve más a la esfera digital. ‘Women at Work’, que se lanzó esta semana, es una serie emergente que cubre el género y el lugar de trabajo, ‘Dear HBR’, es un programa de consejos que cubre los dilemas del trabajo y se lanzará el 6 de febrero. ↳ Lección: La popularidad de artículos en un blog nos puede indicar la necesidad de un nuevo podcast. ‘Mujeres en el trabajo’ surgió cuando Maureen Hoch, editora de HBR.org, notó que algunos de los artículos más leídos en el sitio eran sobre investigaciones relacionadas con el género en el trabajo. Después del auge del movimiento #MeToo, Hoch pensó que podría haber una audiencia para un podcast sobre este tema. ¿Cómo aplicar las 4P del marketing a un podcast? Las tradicionales 4P de la mezcla de mercadeo han sido: Producto (¿Qué beneficios ofreces a tus clientes?), Precio (¿Qué valor tiene lo que provees?), Punto de venta (¿Qué canales de ventas y formas de comercialización utilizaras?) y Promoción (¿Cómo vas a dar a conocer tu producto o servicio?). El blog de ‘Zencastr’ explica en un artículo cómo aplicar estas 4P de marketing para comercializar un podcast. Pero cambiaron la “P de producto” por la “P de podcast”. También añadieron otras tres extendiéndolas a 7Ps. Las 3P adicionales son: personas (¿Cómo te vas a relacionar con los oyentes para que regresen?), procesos (¿Cuales son los procesos que usarás para minimizar los costos?) y Posicionamiento de marca (¿Cómo conseguirás que los oyentes relacionen tu marca con el tema del podcast?) Tonia Maffeo, directora de marketing de la nueva empresa ‘Voxnest’ aseguró a NotiPod Hoy que los podcasters que usan ‘Spreaker’ y ‘Blog talk Radio’ no tienen porqué preocuparse. Tonia dijo en el audio de nuestro podcast que ‘Hive’ es un CMS mucho más complejo que lo que conocemos y permite gestionar grandes cantidades de contenidos. Dice Tonia: “Hive es una herramienta mucho más profesional pensada para los publicadores o los grandes productores de contenido”. ¿A quién pertenece tu podcast? en un artículo del Blog ‘Pacific Content’ (una empresa que produce podcasts para terceros) analizan por qué deberías repensar el flujo RSS de tu podcast. Recomiendan hospedar el feed del podcast en una URL que poseas y controlas. Ellos aseguran que no es difícil mantener la propiedad del flujo del RSS de tu programa. Pero requiere trabajo adicional. En ‘Pacific Content’, usan FeedPress para alojar las fuentes de los podcasts de sus clientes. Luego, utilizan el nombre de host personalizado de ‘FeedPress’ para habilitar las redirecciones ‘CNAME’ del dominio propiedad de sus clientes a ‘FeedPress’. ↳ Algunos podcasters lo configuran a través de ‘FeedBurner’ de Google habilitando su función ‘MyBrand’. Esto es muy riesgoso porque el futuro a largo plazo de ‘FeedBurner’ es incierto. Mantente al día. El mundo del podcasting está cambiando diariamente.
