PART II

PHASE 5

CELEBRATE AND INNOVATE

You need stories, numbers and insights. Celebration and innovation are about capturing them and using them powerfully.

It’s far too easy to plough ahead into the next campaign without savouring your wins and learning from your failures.

Celebration and innovations are about publicly sharing your campaigns’ success, rewarding the people who made it all possible and looking for ways to make it better next time.

Instead of rushing straight into the next campaign, you must complete this final phase. You need to hunt down the stories, capture the numbers, interrogate the data – then learn, share, congratulate and reward those involved.

TELL YOUR STORIES

People buy because of the emotion and the passion that comes through in our story.

SO MANY GREAT HIDDEN STORIES

Great, memorable stories don’t need massive, blockbuster tales to be powerful; they simply need to be authentic and human.

Your job is to drill deep into a story, find the background, ask what impact the story has on the future, and examine the finer details.

Your job is to capture it in writing, video, or audio and make it available online. When you go looking, you’ll discover your business is full of stories.

THE DEBRIEF

After we’ve finished an event or an important campaign day, we pull up a circle of chairs, and we debrief. We do this while the events of the day are fresh in our minds.

Everyone in the circle gets a say–volunteers, staff, directors, guest speakers and suppliers.

If you’re there, you’ll get asked to join the circle. We go around and have people answer six questions:

  • What would you score our team performance on a scale from 1 to 10 and why?

  • What do you think we did well?

  • What could we have done better?

  • What tools or assets do we wish we had at this event?

  • What was a magic moment you noticed?

  • Anything else?

PART III YOU, YOUR TEAM AND THE TIMES WE LIVE IN

Key Takeaways

  • If you’re not yet oversubscribed, you might not be telling enough stories.

  • Small moments of triumph create great stories. Seeing people achieve a personal victory or hit onto a real emotion generates more interest than some huge story that doesn’t connect with the heart.

That’s it for today. We finished reading PART 2. Tomorrow, we will read PART #3: YOU, YOUR TEAM AND THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.
