Can you develop an “Excel Love Language?” Maggie Gross, head of strategy and brand practice leader at Deloitte Digital, says it's an increasingly effective way for CMOs and senior marketers to communicate the benefits of brand building to the C-suite. By crafting a homemade Excel Love Language, marketers can meld soft metrics, such as brand awareness and brand recall, with hard metrics demanded by the company's CFO like lead-gen revenue and new acquisitions.Gross joins host Matthew Schwartz to discuss how marketers speak the “Excel Love Language” and provide some strategic thinking for how marketers change the conversation about branding.
Do you bear the curse of the Mummy manager? As managers, we're wrapped up with scraps of lessons and experiences we've picked up from colleagues, mentors and other managers throughout our careers, applying them to our management practices in the hopes they'll help us lead our teams successfully. Yet 82% of managers have had NO formal management or leadership training, and only 27% of workers believe their boss is highly effective. This curse of ineffective management is being passed down from manager to manager, as many default to adopting a command-and-control approach because they think that's how they should behave. Much like an ancient Egyptian Mummy, these managers can break free from their outdated wrappings, and it's needed across the board because organisations are still suffering from poor engagement. Only 23% of employees are engaged globally, and seeing as 70% of the variance in team engagement is attributable to their manager alone, a new approach to management is now critical. The curse of poor management It's a fact that good managers engage their people, and bad managers don't. As the saying goes, 'You don't quit a job; you quit your boss.' Anecdotally, it's something we all know to be accurate; we all remember that one boss who nurtured us and encouraged us to find our voice, and conversely, we never forget the micromanagers who made our working lives miserable. But, while in the past employees were more likely to 'put up and shut up' if they had a bad manager, Gen Z, and young Millennial employees are more inclined to vote with their feet if the workplace doesn't live up to their expectations - and research suggests that this demographic is currently the least engaged at work. A 2024 CNBC survey found that almost half of Gen Z workers say they're just 'coasting' at work, with 42% claiming they're just working for the paycheck. This is particularly worrying, as by 2025, Gen Z workers will make up 27% of the workplace. Employers simply can't afford to ignore them. What's clear is that Gen Z individuals want to work for organisations that align with their values around inclusivity and equal opportunities for all. Research by Deloitte Digital found that Gen Z employees place a high value on empathy from their bosses - indeed, they consider it a prerequisite in the workplace. This means that the traditional 'command-and-control' approach to management is becoming as ancient as the Mummies we referenced and simply has no place in the modern workplace. A new, more human-focused approach is needed - one that actively inspires and encourages employees of all demographics, not just Gen Z, to operate at their highest level of potential. Management should be about enabling, not instructing. Operational Coaching: An Enquiry-Led Solution Enter Operational Coaching, an innovative approach to management that has the potential to revolutionise leadership dynamics. At its core, Operational Coaching emphasises building respectful relationships between managers and their teams. This new style of management encourages the greater use of an inquiry-led approach (built around embedding more of a coaching mindset), which fosters more open communication and collaboration. One key aspect of Operational Coaching is its ability to enable team members to step up and develop their independent problem-solving skills. When Mummy managers revert to a command-and-control approach, whereby they fix and solve staff problems by telling them what to do based on their previous knowledge and experience, they take away the learning opportunity for staff to find solutions, inevitably stunting their development. Conversely, when managers adopt an Operational Coaching approach, which involves learning to ask more powerful, insightful questions that stimulate the thinking of others, they invite employees to identify and take action for themselves, drawing on their skills and experience to begin to solve the problems they're faced with. Managers who pr...
Six months ago conversational commerce wasn't really on the radar of Deloitte Digital's National Partner Lead Leon Doyle. Now Doyle is reorganising his entire content team around it – and believes it's coming at the $200bn content industry like a freight train. AI-powered chatbots and the speed at which all major platforms are developing and deploying, particularly on messaging apps, are accelerating – ultimately they're heading to full-funnel capabilities where in travel, for example, discovery to purchase is completed in a single conversational thread. Doyle says brands must prepare for far more content governance to clear “content debt” fast. I.e. start writing not only for humans, but commerce-enabling AI applications which will ingest forgotten, incorrect, outdated or even misleading corporate information and content lurking in digital corners that the bots will otherwise scrape to build their customer responses from. That means restructuring content architecture and taxonomies and focusing on “conversation design, not just content design”, says Doyle “This is what my team are doing. They're thinking about AI conversation strategy … rather than design just for one platform, they're actually thinking about how they structure content in modules for conversations across multiple modes - website, app, chat.” While Doyle cites a handful of brands including Commbank and Qantas aiming for early mover advantage locally, Deloitte Digital's Global Marketing and Commerce Lead, Nick Garrett, says conversational commerce is “exploding in every market”. He thinks the impact on content economics is seismic – with everything that existed pre-AI at risk of obsolescence. “If $200 billion is moving into play …. no client, no organisation, could not be looking at this at a forensic level.” As Doyle puts it: “If you're not thinking actively about your content debt, your content supply chain, start right now. Because the machines are here, they're learning from your content, and we need to be good teachers to them.” What does it mean for the broader content supply chain? Disruption for all but absolute tier one providers, per Garrett. “If your bread and butter was making [content at] scale and you're dependent on bums and seats, a little bit of automation and a bit of offshore, you're probably staring into a pretty uncomfortable place right now.” For pretty much everyone on the brand-side, it means content creation is moving into a risk management business. Doyle's advice for CX's next big overhaul? Keep it “simple, human and trustworthy”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode features an interview with Jacqueline Woods, CMO of Teradata and David Chan, Managing Director of Deloitte Digital. Jacqueline is an executive with 30 years of experience leading marketing efforts at Fortune 100 companies including IBM, GE, Oracle, and Verizon. David has spent his career partnering with clients to digitally transform their organizations by enabling key CX capabilities to creatively solve complex business problems.In this episode, Kailey sits down with Jacqueline and David for a panel discussion on the top CX trends, AI predictions for the year ahead, and omni-channel, real-time personalization.-------------------Key Takeaways:According to Jacqueline, data is more like water than oil. In order for AI to have real impact, your data needs to be clean with a traceable lineage.While real-time personalization is important to customers, what matters most is the messages being delivered to them are contextually relevant to their experience.With the world going cookieless, you should measure how much your business relies on third party cookies and then figure out how much to invest in first party data services to support the gap.-------------------“I often talk about data – it's not like oil. To me, it's more like water. You have a lot of water that's not usable. You have a lot of things in data today that aren't usable. Now, in order for AI to be really impactful in your organization, it has to start with data. Do you have clean data? Is that data pristine? Do you know the lineage of the data? Because, AI is nothing if it doesn't have clean data to essentially build intelligence off of, particularly when you talk about generative AI.” – Jacqueline Woods“Everyone wants real-time personalization. What that means is the data has to be real-time collected. Data has to be real-time processed. Data has to be real-time curated to be made of some sort of business sense to then activate on in real-time. To me, what matters more is less about whether it's real-time, because just faster is not always better. It's about how contextually relevant the message is being returned to the customer from the brand. That is more meaningful.” – David Chan-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(03:44) - Jacqueline and David's career journeys*(07:27) - AI trends in 2024*(26:43) - The need for omni-channel, real-time personalization*(34:57) - Trust and privacy*(44:05) - 2024 CX predictions*(52:22) - Jacqueline and David's recommendations for staying ahead of the CX curve-------------------Links:Connect with Jacqueline on LinkedInConnect with David on LinkedInConnect with Kailey on LinkedInLearn more about Caspian Studios-------------------SponsorGood Data, Better Marketing is brought to you by Twilio Segment.

Talking with Nick Garrett from Deloitte Digital, Worthington speaks with his characteristic style about ideas and the importance of working with people who can bring them to life. “Everyone has great ideas, but they don't often have people around them who can recognise them and know what to do with them once they've been had” he says. “Ideas need to be born into a fertile environment.” Worthington also explains his guiding principles for brand-building success, and how they are allegorical to an agency's ambition.

Saagar Bains is a fractional product leader and product advisor who started out digitally transforming his family's wholesale business and launching its e-commerce site before moving into consulting and into startups. One of those startups was The Body Coach, started by celebrity fitness guru Joe Wicks, where Saagar had the job of translating their vision into scalable reality. For this episode, we travelled to Saagar's hometown of Birmingham for a LIVE interview and Q&A about the pros and cons of building for celebrity creators. Episode highlights: 1. Being an early entrepreneur can really help your product management game Product managers often get tied up in the craft of product management and the latest frameworks, but Saagar started out working for his family business and had to work out everything as he went. This gave him an incredible bias for action, to do things that don't scale and to get scrappy where needed. These are traits that many PMs should develop rather than getting precious about process. 2. Product Management is all about the "Why" Saagar spent some time working for Deloitte Digital and, in many cases, building stuff without being told why it was being built. This left him feeling unsatisfied, and like he wasn't doing "Proper Product". Luckily, even though The Body Coach started building with an external agency, the "why" was so strong from the founders that Saagar could take over something that made sense. 3. Creator-led businesses have a built-in audience, which means that "move fast and break things" doesn't work If you have millions of users with a direct relationship with the brand upfront, you can't just throw anything out the door. There's an incredible amount of brand equity and trust that needs to be satisfied, and there is a higher quality bar. That said, you still have to pick your battles, and there's still good product prioritisation work to be done. 4. All founders are going to come with feature requests, and smart PMs are going to do some of them When you have an incredibly well-respected founder who lives and breathes the product, you're going to get requests. Some of them will even make sense. But, product people who don't have evidence against the requests, or a better plan in general, are going to get overridden and they only have themselves to blame. That said, it's important not to rail against feature requests just because they're from a founder. 5. Building proper, trusting relationships with the founders is incredibly important When working with creators with a massive following, who have invested so much of themselves into a company, the worst thing you can do is just walk in expecting them to bend to the awesome power of product management. Saagar spent several hours walking and talking with the founders before even getting the job, to understand their motivations and forge a bond. This ultimately helped him be more successful.

Amelia Dunlop is Deloitte Digital's Chief Experience Officer and the author of Elevating The Human Experience. Amelia writes and speaks regularly on the topics of human experience, design, and customer strategy. In this episode of Love in Action, she touches on the three paths to elevate the human experience involving self love and worthiness at work and in life. Quotes:“So many traditions and philosophies teach that the fundamental human condition is one of suffering. There are many things you and I may not have in common, but [we can understand] that feeling of suffering we share.” [9:30] Why is elevating the human experience so necessary? Amelia shares the importance of helping people feel loved and worthy and the impact it has at work.“If you're not putting human needs at the center, you feel burned out; if you're not feeling heard, you feel gaslit, if you're not feeling included, you feel excluded.” [12:43] There are many ‘trends' of focus in the workplace right now, and as Marcel points out, burnout, loneliness, and isolation are not new concepts. Amelia turns these problems around and focuses on the cause: human needs and the human experience.“The first path is the path of the self where we learn to see ourselves as inherently worthy of love.”[16:15] How often do you share love with yourself? Amelia explains the system of external affirmations in society through grades, gold stars, etc. It is the self love that comes from within that allows us to see that we are worthy. She challenges listeners to write down the reasons they are loveable and explore those answers.“You could argue that doing the work on yourself is selfish. No, doing the work on yourself is critical as a leader in particular. You now have to mirror back the worth into somebody else, and that's the second path.” [29:20] Amelia quotes Ian Forrester when she says, only connect. She explains how we cultivate worthiness as leaders within our employees. We can do this by showing up as allies at work: As a friend, as a mentor, as a sponsor, and as a benefactor. Consider not only who those people are for you but also who you are to others. “What does it mean to leave someone better off, no matter how brief the interaction?” [37:37] As Amelia begins to discuss the third path, cultivating love in the community of work, she places importance on acknowledging the system that is there; even though it is invisible, it can be deconstructed and redesigned to support our human needs.“The journey element is key, there is no point of arrival…we are always a work in progress." [41:48] Marcel and Amelia wind down there discussion on the three paths to elevate the human experience. Amelia notes that these paths are not always sequential and require a lifelong journey of work. “We have about 40 years of research from Gallup that says [recognizing your employees' contributions improves employee engagement]; it does something special to the human spirit when somebody lifts and builds you up through gratitude.” [43:30] Closing out their conversation, Marcel notes research that backs up Amelia's tip for leaders: Catch your employees doing good work and let them know!Mentioned in this episode:Amelia Dunlop | LinkedInMarcel Schwantes

Josh and Jason catch up on fatherhood, what led Josh from a big 4 consulting career to becoming a founder and geek out on a shared love of music."Be diligent with it, give it time."Josh Fuller is the founder and CEO of Matic Digital, a digital strategy and talent growth agency that surpassed $1.5M in new business in 2021, its first year – despite a personal health bombshell, a client payment delinquency of nearly $500k, and post-covid economic uncertainties.With just four full-time employees and about 50 independent contractors in Matic's stable, Josh has a lot to say about finding what drives you, trusting your gut, pivoting with resilience and humor, discovering & shaping talent, and defending the value of your work, your experience, your time, and your people.Since 2000, Josh has been an unpaid intern, a designer, a creative director, an agency owner, a Big 4 “creative consultancy” leader, a startup entrepreneur, and a mentor to hundreds of successful creative professionals. He's been in the trenches, rising and falling right along with his teams, and he shares the kind of stories that make people think (and rethink).Josh has founded 2 agencies to date, served as creative leadership to global brands such as Deloitte both in the U.S. and Amsterdam, been employee 1 for an acquired startup, and built dozens of creative teams over his 20+ year career for projects, clients and employers.Prior to founding Matic Digital Josh started a successful web design shop called TrebleRed. A decade later, he wanted to see how bigger agencies operated. Josh quickly acclimated to this new level as Creative Director for Denver's SpireDigital (formerly SpireMedia) in 2011. After working with clients like Dish, TomTom, and 50 Cent at Spire, he decided to go even bigger – joining Deloitte Digital in 2014 and working with billion dollar brands on the daily.Find the show at all of the cool spots below and find us at jasonfrazell.com/podcasts.

Nigel is the Managing Director for Insurance at Google Cloud, responsible for leading the firms approach to Insurance, leveraging the best in market capability from Google's Cloud proposition, addressing mission critical Insurance challenges, from claims and underwriting to leveraging our AI and ML know how - driving better business outcomes. Nigel also works with the broader Alphabet companies to bring their experience and insights to partner with our existing insurance customers. Prior to this, Nigel was a Partner in Deloitte Digital where he led on a number of areas for the firm including Global Future of Insurance and InsurTech. He has contributed to a number of books on insurance and technology including The InsurTech Book and the AI Books published by Wiley. He also co-authored a report on the Sharing Economy and the opportunity for Insurers for Lloyds of London. He has a background in end to end technology transformation from core systems through to digital transformation initiatives including helping clients to identify and launch new products to market and establish new businesses from scratch, for insurers and more recently non insurers. You can find Nigel talking about Insurance regularly online as Co Host for InsurTech Insiders Podcast - here, through his articles and PoV on LinkedIn here, or regular conversation on all things Insurance & InsurTech on Twitter here. Highlights from the Show Nigel sees his role at Google as being at one of the largest companies on the planet with the task of changing one of the most important industries on the planet There's a pressure to move forward faster in the industry, and occasionally it's driven by major forces, like COVID, that show us the need but also our ability to actually do it Many companies now have digital indigestion, where we raced forward so quickly but didn't learn how to keep moving forward Nigel sees knowledge and innovative moves like milk – you can put it in the fridge, but it still has a shelf life; you can't just buy it once and expect it to be good for ever It doesn't mean what we've done is wrong, but there might be opportunities to do things in enhanced or different ways Sometimes, we focus on digitizing something we do that we fail to ask if we need to do that thing in the first place How to achieve this is a question of what's the inside-out view to see what could be done, but that can be limiting You might find something that's possible to do, but isn't fit for the market necessarily, where Nigel uses an example of trimming so many questions in an application that the prospect is left questioning whether your price and coverage is actually appropriate for them Nigel shared an experience where he was asked questions during the quote process that were not only burdensome, but he was not positioned to answer them, such as the value of the battery in your EV, the type and age of locks in your home, etc. This information may be necessary for pricing the risk, but is the customer actually positioned answer it correctly, and then are you using this flawed data in your pricing? We end up doubly worse off for the bad customer experience and bad underwriting decisions made from it This is ultimately a question of self-service It's a great thing that can be a much-preferred, simpler customer experience But self-service can't mean doing other people's jobs for them Five years ago, Nigel thought InsurTechs were poised to dramatically disrupt insurance as has been the case in other industries More recently, he thinks there are pockets where there is room for a lot of change (especially in commoditized products) But overall, he sees more room for collaboration or learning from each other and moving the whole space forward Going a step further, with reinsurance capital directly connected to distribution, especially since they don't have the agent or broker relationships they need to be careful about He thinks about how this all links back to societal changes around car or home ownership, etc., and that is very different in different countries This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance thought leadership series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.
