IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS…
MY NEXT BOSS SHOULD BE
AN INNOVATION WARRIOR
AND ACT LIKE A…
FARMER
![Page 3: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

But like this modern guy…
![Page 5: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
BECAUSE….
HE FORECASTS
![Page 6: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
My farmer…
• LOOKS AT THE MARKET
–what can I sell best next year ?
• LOOKS AT THE EXISTING
–Will I have bad weather like this year?
• ESTIMATES EXTERNAL RISKS
–Is it going to rain even more next year ?
• DISCUSSES WITH HIS PEERS
–The power of networking
![Page 7: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SO MY FUTURE BOSS SHOULD KNOW….
– Where the market could be heading to !
– What is going to be hot next year !
– What customers are going to buy !
– What risks are attached to it !
– How much ressources he needs to make
things happen next year
– And the best mix between his different
portfolios
![Page 8: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
AND MY FARMER,
HE MASTERS
THE ART TO
FOCUS
![Page 9: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
My farmer…
• KNOWS WHAT TO PRODUCE AND WHAT NOT…– He doesn’t jump on everything that moves !
• HE CREATES FOLLOWING COLLECTED EXTERNAL DATA– Hours of sun… hours of rain… market needs
– He doesn’t invent a market…
• ONCE HE STARTS SEEDING… HE CONTINUES UNTIL THE END– The power of networking
![Page 10: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So MY FUTURE BOSS SHOULD KNOW….
– How to focus
– How to analyze market data and market
perceptions
– How to detect 2 or 3 products to leverage
risks
– Change but stay consistent in what he is
doing
![Page 11: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WHILE MY FARMER…
HE MASTERS
THE ART TO
SELECT
![Page 12: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• WHICH SEED SHALL I PICK ?
–What is the best way to seed it ?
• ON WHICH FIELD WILL I SEED IT ?
–Integrate limitations of the field(market)
• WHICH MIX
–Several seeds for several fields to createthe best mix for next year
![Page 13: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WHILE MY FARMER…
HE
THINKS
LOGISTICS
![Page 14: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
IT IS ALL ABOUT LOGISTICS
– Where do I buy the best seeds ?
– Where do I store it ?
– The best time to seed ?
– Does my ground need treatment before
seeding ?
– Are my machines ready to seed ?
– To who am I going to sell it ?
![Page 15: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

WHILE MY FARMER…
HE
INVESTS
![Page 17: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
My farmer
–He invests in tools to work more
efficiently… not in nice to have
–But also in basic technology to stay
connected with the market place
Looking to the rate of companies with less than
5 employees connected to the Internet…
Farmers are in the TOP 3, just behind IT/Web
companies.
![Page 18: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So my next boss
–Should invest in equipment so the job
can be done easier.
• No buzz… just efficiency
–Should understand that technology can
make a difference.
• Not buzz… just to stay connected with
reality
![Page 19: Why my next boss should be a FARMER](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051411/547c92af5806b503408b4749/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MY FARMER THEN….
HE
SEEDS
TO COLLECT

the most change to succeed

adds water or does extra irrigation

right time

(equipment + people + workflow)
– Gets the things done at the right time

• He then starts managing his project
–He monitors the product• How is it growing ?

right intentions and ressources
