Invitation

Anticipation & Disruption C O M M U N I C AT I O N S AT T H E C U T T I N G - E D G E Nearly 20 years from the first appearance of Clayton Christensen’s landmark theory of disruptive innovation - which investigated the challenges faced by companies who must anticipate future needs in order to survive and grow - we can now safely say that we are all living in disrupted times. By this I mean that the frequency of game-changing developments that affect our work, our industries and the way we live our lives is higher than ever before, and the differences between those who do anticipate future trends and those who do not are clearer than ever before. From the sharing economy to big data and the cloud, each day seems to bring a new challenger seeking to overthrow the status quo. For communicators who have to navigate this volcanic landscape, it can be the best of times and the worst of times. The opportunity to be the organisation’s weather vane, to sniff out potential changes, to weigh up the competition, to predict transformative innovations, to anticipate the future needs of stakeholders, and to head off crises while there are still small dark clouds on the distant horizon: these challenges offer the potential to transform the work of the communications function, and perhaps redraw the lines that define the role of the communications professional.

But, as the word connotes, “disruption” isn’t always good news. As old familiarities are overturned, new innovations bring new challenges. Although 84 per cent of respondents told the 2014 European Communication Monitor that new tools enrich their jobs, 73 per cent say their daily work pressure is increasing; suggesting that new innovations designed to help us work more efficiently actually have adverse effects, too. Either way, good or bad, challenging or rewarding, breaking crisis or innovative development, in 2015 disruption is a state of being. Communicators that are able to adjust to this state of affairs and learn to anticipate any disturbances in the force will be best positioned to lead their organisations forward. With that said, I’m proud to present this year’s programme which will not only explore the causes and consequences of disruption but also showcase the importance of anticipation in the ever-changing communications landscape. I sincerely look forward to welcoming you in Brussels on June 25th and 26th. Herbert Heitmann President European Association of Communication Directors

WHEN PUBLISHING OUT RULES MARKETING

DOING GREAT BUSINESS WITH POWERFUL STORIES

Volvo Trucks became the most awarded advertiser in the world in 2014 – without any money spent on advertising. Publishing has become the new marketing. Per Nilsson, Director Public Relations, will take you behind the scenes of the campaign that has changed the perception of B2B communication, and created a revival of Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Great stories have always engaged people. But what is a great story? It is something you can connect to, rely on and share with your network. Successful brands and businesses are built on powerful stories. Our story began when Karl Fazer decided to become a confectioner and travelled to Paris, Berlin and St Petersburg to learn the profession and get inspiration. Consequently, in 1891 he opened his French-­Russian café in Helsinki, the then poor capital of Finland.

THE ROLE OF ADVOCACY IN EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION

Could a town hall meeting be more effective than a twee in modern communication techniques? A major challenge for international organizations is conveying sometimes highly abstract messages. Over the past years, the International Criminal Court has developed innovative means of engaging with worldwide key groups to garner their support. What works and what are the pitfalls? There are some valuable lessons learned both from the Court’s failures and its successes.

Reactive issue management is a well accepted part of external communication, but what is the role of proactive advocacy? Is it the equivalent of agenda-setting, or does it entail more than that?

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS AS KEY LEVER

PURPOSE – DRIVEN COMMUNICATION

A company’s reputation is one of its most valuable assets, so it makes sense to manage and protect it. Reputation is the perception individuals or groups of stakeholders have of a company. That perception is created by interaction with the company whether through personal encounter, products and services or corporate communications. Corporate comms influences reputation by seizing the right opportunities.

As a consequence of various societal changes, the landscape of our profession is changing rapidly. How prepared are we to adapt to these developments? Are we challenged to redefine the purpose of our function? If so, in which direction should the profession head? Join us to discuss how we can adapt to and anticipate today’s challenges and disruptions for our practical work as we push forward with purpose.

WHAT BRAND & DIGITAL LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE IN 2015

SELLING THE BODY CORPORATE

How can today’s leading companies cope with the demands of the digital age and deliver purposeful brands that truly matter? In our latest European study we’ve identified today’s brand and digital leaders across the Euro100 and FTSE100. This seminar will show how companies, such as Shell, GSK, and Mace are embracing disruptive change and re-defining best practice in 2015.

The world’s leading brands are loved and admired, with an appeal that transcends cultures and geographies. The products those brands promote regularly make genuine improvements to people’s lives. But the companies responsible for these brands are misunderstood and frequently despised. Corporate communications is failing to arrest a decline in public understanding of the value of business. Isn’t time we took a new approach?

FROM MASS TO INDIVIDUAL COMMUNICATION

THE VALUE OF AN IDENTITY-BASED REBRANDING

More than 61% communication professionals in Europe are conducting influencer engagement programs in 2015. But, how can you build an efficient influencer engagement strategy? How should I identify those influencers who really matter? And finally, how may I measure the income being generated by your influencer programs? Here are several questions that will be fully addressed and properly answered during this workshop.

Rebranding is a delicate exercise that can sometimes end up in total failure. An approach based on organizational identity, which favours an inside-out process has the advantage of identifying the root of the problems and working below the tip of the iceberg. The project presented is the result of a Swiss NPO’s mandate (Pro Senectute) given to an EMScom consulting team and has won the Burson-Marsteller award for best consulting project in 2014.

Disruptive Innovation: Shaking up the Status-Quo By foreseeing new technologies, by creating new business models and by adapting existing technologies, disruptive innovation is triggered. Impulsive change develops new markets by discovering new categories of customers. Seizing the opportunity to facilitate this kind of disruptive change so that the organisation can achieve leadership is a real challenge. What role does the communicator play in fostering disruption and in creating an environment of innovation? And how can disruptive behaviour benefit the corporate character? In this session, we will explore disruptive business models, and look into the character of disruptive ideas.

Changing our mind

Our brain constantly makes decisions based on current inputs. Those inputs lead to future actions and behaviors. In theory, this would mean that we predict in full a person’s action simply by looking at the brain in a single moment or by following sequence of steps that correlate with certain behavior. However, within that same brain lie a very unusual and surprising ability. The ability to change our mind, to act in a probabilistic fashion that escapes even our own predictions. We decide to wake up in the morning, and change our mind when the alarm buzzes. We decide to approach a person, and stand still in embarrassment. We plan to move left, and in the right moment go right. What part of our brain navigates this unusual situation, and does our brain contain a mechanism to change it’s own decisions? It’s own mind? If so - where does this mechanism sit, and can we explore it? And what does it mean to have a systematic machine that still operates in some sense using random occurrences that are inaccessible to itself. In this session we will discuss how changing one’s mind works in our mind, and whether our mind can change its own mind.

Creating a better future: Using technology to break down barriers and inspire action

Dare to share: How BlaBlaCar transformed travellers’ habits and a complete industry

In this era of relentless and disruptive change, there’s never been a more exciting time to be a communicator. Technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, enabling people to connect and share innovative ideas with virtually anyone. Gabi Zedlmayer will discuss how leaders and communicators have an exceptional opportunity to use the power of technology to break down barriers, bring clarity and inspire actions to solve some of the world’s toughest business and societal challenges. Gabi will share real-life examples of companies and organizations, like Conservation International, that are using technology in new and innovative ways to advance business and social agendas.

Ten years ago the founders of BlaBlaCar dreamt of building an affordable people-powered service, connecting drivers with empty seats and people travelling the same way. They believed they could address the inefficiency of cars driving empty when millions of travellers were not fully satisfied with the expensive or unreliable transport systems. Today, BlaBlaCar has become one of the most active collaborative consumption community in the world, with over 10 million members in fourteen countries. Nicolas Brusson, COO, will share how BlaBlaCar turned this vision into a reality, disrupting travellers habits, and bringing affordable and friendly mobility to millions of users.

NEVER WASTE A GOOD CRISIS

USING COLLEAGUE ENGAGEMENT TO CHANGE CULTURE

A crisis in any organization opens doors for change. Communications is usually part of the solution. At the Global Fund, a crisis in confidence in 2011 was provoked by what at first appeared to be a corruption scandal, but was really at root a communications crisis. The solution was Change Communications.

Over the last two years I have led an innovative, exciting and all-encompassing engagement programme to change the culture in Lloyds Bank. The engagement programme brought to life the business strategy through a series of targeted communication interventions for very segmented audiences. Over time we have changed behaviours: our Colleague Engagement and Net Promoter Scores have increased as has colleague involvement.

DISRUPTIVE STRATEGIES: LEADING IN TIMES OF TECTONIC CHANGE.

Digital is saturating nearly everything around us, including our newsrooms. Journalists are rethinking how they approach news and as a result are becoming “story producers,” responsible not only for words but also pictures, graphics, and social media. They need to be more technically proficient - and technologists need to understand how to tell a story. Join us as we explore this important new trend - and what it means for communications professionals.

Christopher Storck will talk about how to use stakeholder research to inform corporate strategy finding in a situation when new players are going to fundamentally change a market or system. Based on this he will demonstrate how to position a company as a catalyst of change by providing a compelling story for a game which rules are going to change fundamentally.

Crisis Management: The Case of Japan

China is on the way to becoming the biggest economy in the world and globalisation has been strongly affecting the country’s digital landscape. Today more than 500 million Chinese people are online spending more time on the internet than watching TV, listening to the radio, or reading printed media. Search engine giant Baidu is one of the fastest growing companies in one of the world’s most dynamic industries and operating at the heart of China’s digital landscape. Kaiser Kuo, Director of International Communications at Baidu, will share insights into the preferences of Chinese search engine users and the company’s international communications strategy.

The 2014 Elections in India, where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a massive landslide victory, offers many lessons for communications and brand professionals. Nobody imagined that the use of technology and social media as part of the communications strategy would touch the lives of common man. Many dismissed technology and social media feeling that they were best suited for the elite and upper class, making what happened a real eye opener. In his talk, Sumeet Chatterjee, will discuss the power of social media to reach out to all levels of the Indian society, using the elections as a case study.

While we will have reflected upon disruption in our industries and its impact on our daily work, on day two we will focus on how we, as communicators, can anticipate future societal and economic trends and implement these in our organisations. Karin Helmstaedt Moderator

We will begin the morning with our keynote speaker Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Professor of Internet Governance at the Oxford Internet Institute, showing us the impact of Big Data on the future of our profession as communicators before our second Main Session will deepen the discussion with input Tom Betts, Financial Times, Markus Weldon from Alcatel-Lucent and Tony Bosma from Extend Limits. Of course, we will have ample opportunity to engage with our peers who will present the very best practices from across the continent. We look forward to seeing you!

Keynote

LOOKING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL? BIG DATA AS GAME CHANGER IN COMMUNICATIONS Viktor Mayer-Schönberger Professor of Internet Governance Oxford Internet Institute

DAY TWO 9.15 – 10.00

Can we anticipate the spread of the flu, who we fall in love with, the next video going viral, or when our business model requires drastic change? Much has been said about Big Data, but perhaps its most potent feature is to foretell the future. How this works, and how we can use this power to anticipate and facilitate change, as well as its inherent limitations and dark sides will be covered in this keynote peppered with stunning real world examples. Learn what this can mean for a companies’ reputation and the trust of potential customers as well as which role classic communicators play in this.

Viktor Mayer-Schönberger is Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford. His research focuses on the role of information in a networked economy. Previously, he spent ten years on the faculty of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He has published seven books, as well as over a hundred articles (including in Science) and book chapters. His most recent book, the award-winning ‘Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age’ (Princeton University Press 2009) has received favorable reviews by academic (Nature, Science, New Scientist) and mainstream media (New York Times, Guardian, Le Monde, NPR, BBC, Wired) and has been published in four languages. Ideas proposed in the book have now become official policy, e.g. of the European Union. 21


DAY TWO

10.00 - 11.15

Looking forward: Anticipating communications As the world is rapidly changing, more and more communicators are challenged to function like an early warning system anticipating societal, economic and political developments that shape the environment in which their organisation exists. Communication professionals need to ensure that they are playing a valuable part in their respective organisations by increasingly employing analytical, evaluation and measurement skills. Is the narrowly defined role of a communicator replaced by that of a generalist expert considering the big picture and contributing to the overall business strategy? How can communicators envision trends that are crucial for their organisation’s development?

The role of great communication when changing the game

Marcus Weldon President of Bell Labs and Corporate Chief Technology Officer Alcatel-Lucent

Marcus will discuss the role of great communication in aligning all the stakeholders in a high tech company around a vision and strategy, as well as the need to employ a similar strategy with customers, analysts and the media in order to drive the right investments at the right time. He will also explore the conundrum of whether a B2B company needs to also employ a B2C communications strategy as a key part of ‘changing the game’.

With a dramatically falling oil price and geopolitical tensions rising within Europe’s core, the changes in the energy landscape seem more profound than ever.

Due to the explosion of channels and touch points that are involved, the processes involved in rebranding have become much more interesting. Not to mention dimensions other than the visual, such as tonality, smell, touch and sound - which constantly offer new opportunities for better brand experiences and customer journeys.

As corporations become increasingly multicultural, transcending the boundries of geography, language, and customs, amongst other things - it is more important now than ever to understand the consequences of growing corporations for the communications function.

Still banging on about employee engagement? According to Gallup, only 30% of your people are engaged – a figure that’s not budged for 12 years. But shift really can happen. Think differently, take risks, change your methodologies, get buyin from your leaders, you can change your business. So be the change.

Warm-up for the Summit This year the European Association of Communication Directors will celebrate the second annual EACD Kick-Off Day, which will take place on Wednesday, June 24th at the Square Meeting Centre in Brussels. We cordially invite our members and peers to join our events and warm-up for two exciting Summit Days. The programme starts in the afternoon with our many Working Group meetings. These workshops bring together EACD members, communication experts and other interested peers to discuss the latest trends and methods in various industries and fields of expertise, ensuring a lively peer-exchange. Shortly after the sessions end, the EACD General Assembly will commence and all full-members are invited to join and reflect on our association’s activities. Afterwards, we invite everyone to a networking reception with drinks; an evening that will undoubtedly prepare us for two very eventful Summit days.
