To start off

Turn to your neighbour and discuss:

Have you ever written a marketingplan?

If yes, what was difficult?

If no, what do you think the difficulties are?

• Lack of chief executive support• No plan for the planning activity• Line management hostility• Lack of support, resources and skills• Confusion over technology, jargon and procedures• An emphasis on too much detail in a rigid one year planning

ritual• Separation of planning from other functional areas in the

business• Failure to relate marketing planning to corporate planning• The delegation of marketing planning to planners• Lack of knowledge and marketing skills• Confusion between the planning process and its outputs• Planning for planning’s sake

Source: McDonald, 1992

Marketingplanning difficulties (1990’s)

• Inadequate information• Senior managers lacking business skills• Management’s failure to see the whole picture• Lack of understanding of customers• Individual manager’s empire building• Top-down approach to planning• Time to conduct planning activities• Poor involvement of functions/teams• Current apparent business success/arrogance• Lack of enthusiasm amongst non-marketers• Staff: lack of and turnover• Resistance to changeSource: Simkin,2000

Marketingplanning difficulties (2000’s)

Introducing the method

– Choosing the Goal– Choosing the Strategic Issues– Choosing the Activities

10 experiences / lessons (1)

SMART?

• Realizing a growth in turnover of 10%

Same, but different formulation:• Selling 50 machines with a total turnover of € 60 mln in

2008

Goals: examples

• Realizing a growth in turnover of 20% within 1 year for product type A in the business segment of the market

SWOT

S trenghts

W eaknesses

O pportunities

T hreats

That looks easy!

S&W = internal

O&T = external

# elements in the SWOT source: Hill & Westbrook, 1997

Step 1:Identifying Opportunities & Threats

• Making a list of (minimal) 15 Opportunities and 15 Threats– Within your scope!!!

• External Analysis = what is happening outside!

– That looks easy……(but most of the time isn’t….)

OpportunitiesCorrectly formulated opportunities

Incorrectly formulated opportunities

Rise in consumer expenditures

If we advertise more, the consumer expenditures will rise

New market segments entering the market

Targeting new market segments

Segment A has a need for customized products

Offer customized products to segment A.

There is a customer need for….In the market ….

Do not start sentence with ‘we’….

Opportunities or options / actions?

From an actual case mentioned opportunities:

• Growing market and customer demand for added value products.

• Strengthening market share world-wide.

• Further roll-out in Asia and USA.

• Products developing better than plan.

• Entering new categories

Opportunities & Threats (in summary)

Which opportunities are really relevant?

• Which will certainly occur?

• And have big impact?

• Which are relevant within the scope of our plan?

• Which are specific / concrete?

Which threats are really relevant?

• Which will certainly occur?

• And have big impact?

• Which are relevant within the scope of our plan?

• Which are specific / concrete?

Strenghts & Weaknesses

• Internal!– “we are……”– “we have…..”

Example:• A “7” for math

– A 8 for history

– Which is the strength?

•Strengths: things we are better in than our competitors!

•Weaknesses: things we are worse in than our competitors!

•Everything is relative!!!!

Criteria of Strenghts

• What are real strengths? • Is the resource…

• Superior to the competition?• Important?• Non-copiable / non-imitable• Applicable• Immobile

Examples of Strengths?

• Brand awareness• Quality• Innovation power• Variation within portfolio• Global A brand• Market share

Let’s make some choices!

• Using the 10 point method to go from longlist to shortlist

• Each member has 10 points to give to:– The opportunities– The threats– The strengths – The weaknesses

• Eg. Opportunity #1: 5 points, Opportunity #4: 2 points, Opportunity #6: 2 poins and Opportunity #9: 1 point

• It’s about making choices transparant!

This is how it works

Teammember1 Teammember2 Teammember3 Teammember4 Teammember5 TotalOpportunity 1Opportunity 2 4 3 2 2 3 14Opportunity 3 2 3 2 2 9Opportunity 4 2 2Opportunity 5 0Opportunity 6 1 1Opportunity 7 2 1 3 2 8Opportunity 8 1 1Opportunity 9 1 1 2Opportunity 10 0Opportunity 11 1 1 2 2 2 8Opportunity 12 1 1 2Opportunity 13 0Opportunity 14 1 1 1 3Opportunity 15 0

Total 10 10 10 10 10 50

Objectivity by multisubjectivity

• It is not about the numbers!

• We use the numbers to identify– Which things we agree upon

• Agree that it is important• Agree that it is not important

– Which things we disagree upon

• Only focus on elements were there is a need for discussion!!

• You can adjust your score!

Role of the facilitator

• Make sure every team member scores individually

• Adding all individual scores on a flip chart

• Lead the discussion (or: watch how a team member leads the discussion....)
