Idlers, Isolators and Integrators

In the data driven era, the definition of creativity is evolving according to IT and the latest innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI). McKinsey’s research of 450 Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) allowed to set three behaviours among them: Idlers, who wait and see, Isolators, who deny any relationship between data and creativity, and Integrators, who use data to “raise the bar on creativity”. After the two pannelists who unveiled the research by the management consulting firm, incorporating data and analytics into the creative process improves the customer experience and doubles revenue growth.

Global profit pool of 1 trillion $

A majority of CMOs belive that data is actually enhancing creativity and blending AI and creative into briefs is bringing a modern consumer insights capability and new ideas. After McKinsey, early adopters of AI should share a global profit pool valued at one trillion dollars. Brian Gregg and Jason Helle unveiled their recipe for growth: integrate data and creativity, be agile and hire whole-brained talents.

Marketing and IT people have to collaborate – as quickly as possible – on a shared vision, in flat team, an organization structure with few or no levels of management between management and staff. Decision-making should be made with less supervision but emphasis on employees increased involvement in the process.

In a world hyper-connected with cellphones, internet, data silos packed with information keep teammates from communicating effectively, and work collaboratively towards common goals. In an agile business, sales and marketing have to work seamlessly together. Finding the gaps and conflicts between groups, is help teams to have same agendas, cultures and processes.
