The “How” Factor

We normally start campaigns, interventions and engagements with good intentions and objections.  The reality is that not all these activities deliver the desired outcomes or results.  The “what” is clearly outlined and defined, but the “how” factor have become the tipping point when it comes to potential results on your implemented plans.  “How” incorporates when, by who, timeline etc.  It’s possible that not enough attention and time investment is allocated to the “how” in what we do.  Yet, it carries so much gravitas.

Just think of the following:

  • How are you planning to do this?
  • How did you managed to achieve that?
  • How amazing was that commercial?
  • How do you expect to pay for the entire campaign?
  • How will these challenges be resolved?
  • How will you incorporate an integrated Communication and Marketing plan to deliver on our strategic objectives?
  • How will you secure the buy-inn from all stakeholders?
  • How do you measure the success of your campaigns?
  • How often do you communicate with your stakeholders?
  • How are our competitors doing with their latest campaign?
  • How did the market respond to the latest negative publicity?
  • How you feeling today?
  • Etc…

It is clear the “how” factor cannot be ignored or down played.  Some ideas look good on paper but “how” it materialise is sometimes a challenge.
