INSIGHTS ARE ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS

Great presentation from Jon Steel, taken from a recent event called Planning at 40, hosted by JWT.

As he starts to define his own feelings about planning or the challenges planners face.  There’s a great line that “insights are all about connections.” In a world where the idea of insights and objectives is thrown around, I like the simplicity of this phrasing. 

Also he brings up the idea of “grounded creativity” as a direct challenge to planners and agency to adopt and get to through the collaboration of planners and creatives.
