Citation preview
The future
…of leisure, travel, tourism, recreational fishing & hunting, and everything discretionary in your life
Socrates said…
!! The quality of your future is based on the quality of your questions
Bellwethers…
!!How do we reward ourselves?
!!How do we nurture ourselves?
Leisure marketing… !! Competes against a wide range of competitive
alternatives to fun and discovery !! Very vulnerable to consumer values shifting !! Discretionary spending highly reactive to
economic changes !! To win leisure dollars in 2009, new languages
of ‘inviting’ must emerge
Today
…what leisure values will your companies face tomorrow?
Growing consumer “vulnerability”
!!What’s happening? !!Why me? !!Really?
We’re all connected
!! Sneezing in China !! Sub-prime fall-out !! Gas prices !! Cost of closet renovations
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac …
!! You thought Freddie and Fannie were wealthy
!!…now they need to sleep on your sofa !!Stated income mortgages !!Bear Stearns !! You’re connected, sorry…
Consumer moods we track
!! Perceptions of volatility !! Feelings of being powerless !! Self-definition changes during
recessionary times
An era of continuous volatility?
“It’s always darkest
before it’s pitch black.”
Volatility
!! It forces new choices in front of your customers, listening for more relevant people listen—a benefit
!! Where are new solutions? !! What management styles need to
change? "! Resilience "! Responsiveness "! Flexibility
Powerless-ness = Cynicism
!!Reliable home valuations? !!Guaranteed financial instruments? !! Politician deceptions? !!Stable oil prices? !!BIG anything? Q. How do you listen for cynicism?
Responses to cynicism
!!Avoidance—drink more !! Pull my own strings
"! How am I responsible? "! What are my options? "! Education please?
Outer defined —> Inner defined
!! I am not my designer labels, my car make, my outside stuff.
!! Entering the post-materialist culture !! “Let’s see how little we can spend.”
Influences on leisure choices
!! Everything does… !!Rapidly !! Fundamentally !!Wide-ranging Q. How do you listen to choice change?
Forward listening
The value of questions rather than answers
It’s easy to recognize a crisis
Crisis —
!! Crisis decisions are often make/break decisions
!! “No response” is not an option !! But your options are limited, and
reactive, determined by what others have done
Before a crisis, a problem?
Crisis —
Problem —
!! Most companies make decisions when an issue has already become a problem
!! But every crisis was first just a problem
Before problems, an opportunity? !! Opportunities lie in early
identification of what will become “problems” if they’re not addressed
!! Exercise: take “a problem” and ask:
!! What were the early warning signs, or weak signals, that this was going to grow bigger in impact? Crisis —
Problem —
Opportunity
The danger of status quo
!! Today’s uncertainties favor organizations with agility, sensitivity and the ability to listen and respond quickly to the marketplace
To paraphrase Shakespeare…
!! The difference between a comedy and a tragedy is…
!! In a comedy, you discover reality in time to do something about it
!! In a tragedy, you don’t
Drivers to question for
!!Directionality—where is this going? !!Momentum—how fast? Urgency?
