Het ziet eruit als een jaartal op magere beentjes, maar als je't even anders bekijkt, heeft een elf wel vleugels. Daar willen wij alvast van uitgaan, want 2011 wordt de start van ons kersverse bureau Studio Spark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studio Spark is het nieuwe bureau van Bart Jansen, Tom Duhoux en Stefaan Vandist waarmee we organisaties helpen hun duurzame innovaties te ontwikkelen en te vermarkten. We zijn alvast gestart met leuke projecten in onder meer  de vakantie-, landbouw-, evenementen-, verf- en retailsector. We hebben alledrie een heel ander pad bewandeld de afgelopen jaren, maar het was onze gemeenschappelijke visie rond duurzaamheid die ons heeft samengebracht onder één dak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Om ons bureau en onze aanpak te leren kennen, neem gerust een kijkje op onze kraaknieuwe website:&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;"&gt; www.studiospark.eu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Studio Spark develops and markets sustainable innovations together with its clients. We don't see sustainability as a field full of restrictions, but as an opportunity for innovation, differentiation and positive growth. We work from an integrated and triple point of view: ecology, economy and buyology.

This little rocket pioneers the transition to EV driving and goes from 0 to 100 km in less then 4 seconds. Their would be eight of them in Belgium so far. Thanks again Serge for giving us the occasion to drive your little orange motherfucker!

It is a mix of articles on new eco-services, policies, practices, CSR-reporting, and a quick tour on what's happening on sustainability in the Belgian Business Community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things like CSR, energy-efficiency, carbon footprinting, Lifecycle analysis and fairtrade are instruments that a lot of professionals start to adopt today, and are familiar with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm very happy that De Tijd also provided a lot of attention to our Business Game "play-it-forward" that does not starts from a 'responsability' point of view, but which is more like a creative and innovation approach. The main idea behind the business game is that you can create sustainability by improving and altering your business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of that: it is a game. That means that people discover the power of business model innovation in an intuitive, creative and competitive way.

Houses would be build in a much cheaper, more energy-efficient, more standardized and maybe less polluting way. The only problem would be 'transportation'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But these days, we see a broad diversity of container houses popping up. The big advantage is that a container is a universal standard for shipping, train and road transport, so it is easy to personalize them in a factory and assemble them afterwards on the spot. Other nice thing: A container is a mass product, that can have a second life this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/TDLw7ORdv7I/AAAAAAAAIO4/QJUFgWAv92w/s320/6a00e0099229e88833010534a1330d970b-800wi.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490715795952353202" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 275px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#0000EE;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;One container might feel small, but if they're combined like lego blocks, they can turn into big living environments and even complete apartment blocks. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/TDLyLQS7mwI/AAAAAAAAIPA/9BHJmuI302Q/s200/18.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490717170884909826" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 153px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is fun to see that there is already a broad diversity of creative approaches if you visit websites like &lt;a href="http://www.habinet.org/"&gt;habinet.org&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.habintainer.net/"&gt;habintainer.net&lt;/a&gt;.

Het jaar daarvoor was ‘De Duurzame Drukker’ de eerste KMO (en drukkerij) die onder grote belangstelling van de pers een duurzaamheidsverslag op de wereld bracht. De analogie met een zwangerschap bleek uit haar getuigenis zeer terecht. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Duurzaamheidsverslaggeving is een heel intensief traject. Je komt jezelf tegen en je stelt de juiste vragen bij je rol in de samenleving. In een duurzaamheidsverslag communiceer je immers over alle duurzaamheidsfacetten van je bedrijfsvoering. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Het is een proces dat heel wat zaken die in de dagelijkse routine verborgen blijven aan de oppervlakte brengt. Je weet alle doorslaggevende paramaters te identificeren, kwantificeren, en je legt opportuniteiten bloot om economischer en ecologischer tewerk te gaan. Het proces lijkt dus veel belangrijker dan het uiteindelijke resultaat, het duurzaamheidsverslag zelf.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Strategische keuzes maken&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Eenmaal de hele totaliteit van je milieugerelateerde en maatschappelijke impact in kaart staat, is de vraag uiteraard wat je daar als bedrijfsleiding mee gaat doen. Voor heel wat bedrijven blijft de hamvraag welk strategisch belang duurzaamheid heeft voor zijn of haar organisatie. Waar is de milieu-impact het zwaarst?

De voorwaarde is dan wel dat je communicatie zeer waarachtig gebeurt. En daar zit een heikel spanningsveld met marketingcommunicatie, want wordt marketingcommunicatie niet ingezet om mensen te verleiden, en gaan we de zaken dan niet automatisch mooier voorstellen dan ze zijn? Je kan het de marketeers en reclamejongens alvast niet kwalijk nemen dat zij zijn opgeleid om dingen op een zo mooi mogelijke manier te vertellen. Daar betalen we ze voor, en ze worden afgerekend op het resultaat ervan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Greenwashing&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;De grens tussen waarachtige groene marketing en greenwashing (de zaken groener voorstellen dan ze zijn om zo de consument of de stakeholders te misleiden) is vaag. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Wat we heel veel zien in de marketing arena zijn campagnes die één groene eigenschap of product maximaal uitlichten, en zo de aandacht afleiden van de rest van de werkelijkheid. Ons medialandschap is echter niet meer van gisteren. Dankzij onder andere de kracht van de nieuwe media komt de waarheid vaak sneller dan verwacht aan de oppervlakte. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;En zelfs al is je verhaal authentiek, dan nog heb je er alle belang bij dat die geloofwaardig gebracht wordt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Drie mooie vuistregels om greenwashing te voorkomen zijn:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;·&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7pt;"  &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Probeer van een duurzaam bedrijf of product niet iets speciaals te maken. Probeer duurzaamheid vooral normaal te maken.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;·&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7pt;"  &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Zorg dat alles wat je communiceert een reële onderbouw heeft. Zorg dat je overal bewijsmateriaal voor hebt. Zorg dat je wat je zegt kan hardmaken met cijfers. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;·&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7pt;"  &gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;En voor mensen die het graag becijferen: wanneer je communicatiekost om de groene boodschap in de wereld te brengen groter is dan je werkelijke duurzame investeringen, dan kan je spreken van greenwashing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Duurzaamheid als business opportuniteit&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Je hoort verschillende redenen waarom duurzaamheid niet meer te negeren valt. Consumenten worden steeds kritischer en weten dat ze via hun winkelkarretje een enorm verschil kunnen maken. Ook op de arbeidsmarkt zou het groene imago van een bedrijf steeds belangrijker worden. Duurzaamheid is een opportuniteit om kosten te besparen en voorsprong te creëren ten aanzien van de competitie, zeker in sectoren waar wetgeving strenger lijkt te worden. Ongeacht waar het zwaartepunt of de opportuniteit zich bevindt, persoonlijk ben ik de gedachte genegen dat duurzaamheid voor voorsprong en volhoudbaarheid zorgt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Enkele weken na het rondetafelgesprek, zag ik mevrouw Halina Bletek opnieuw. Dit keer als gaste in een panelgesprek van Beco over duurzaamheidrapportage. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Een interessante boutade tijdens dat gesprek was dat duurzaamheidrapportage zorgt voor ‘overzicht, inzicht en uitzicht’. Dat leek me een perfecte titel en besluit voor dit artikel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="border-style: none none solid; padding: 0cm 0cm 1pt;"&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="border: medium none ; padding: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Stefaan Vandist is zaakvoerder van Trinity Planning (www.trinity-planning.be), en werkt als communicatiestrateeg gespecialiseerd in duurzame producten.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;Voor meer vragen over dit artikel kan u terecht op &lt;a href="mailto:stefaan@trinity-planning.be"&gt;stefaan@trinity-planning.be&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="NL" style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-2934337358098190876?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/2934337358098190876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/06/communicatie-over-duurzaamheid-zorgt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/2934337358098190876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/2934337358098190876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/06/communicatie-over-duurzaamheid-zorgt.html' title='Communicatie over duurzaamheid zorgt voor overzicht, inzicht en uitzicht'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/TCd7EcrbQsI/AAAAAAAAIOo/-yooduBnZkY/s72-c/Abdij.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-8454961090323016985</id><published>2010-06-25T20:36:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-25T21:15:24.404+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corporate encounters'/><title type='text'>For Enfinity, Solar is first and foremost a business case</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://themaffia.be/"&gt;Philip Maes (the godfather)&lt;/a&gt; and I today visited &lt;a href="http://www.enfinity.be/"&gt;Enfinity&lt;/a&gt; in their headquarters in Waregem to talk about their brand, their origin, their values and style.

Here it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The strategy behind this comes from BP realising that as a multinational company it has a role to play into preserving the environment (and thus its market). Today consumption rate of fossil fuel will not permit petroleum industries to last much longer moreoverso if public pressure prevents extraction from oil fields in deep sea and/or protected zones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;A first consequence is that humanity needs new and renewable energies and that these provide a great business opportunity. This is already the case but efforts in that direction must be strengthened. A second consequence is that BP has to value all its tremendous efforts in prospecting and valuing oil fields into new and longer lasting ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Thus by promoting renewable energy cars with all its lobbying power while investing to be a leader into these new technologies, BP will ensure its future. By promoting high quality/high value uses of petroleum and investing into transforming most petroleum components into these, BP will value its remaining fields over a longer period of time without losing too much money (smaller market but higher return).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Moreover, lowering extracting rate from oil fields will allow an increase environemental security of the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;   &lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-1478877218495998381?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/1478877218495998381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/06/if-bp-survives-oil-spill-what-would.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/1478877218495998381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/1478877218495998381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/06/if-bp-survives-oil-spill-what-would.html' title='If BP survives the Oil Spill, what would their best future be?'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/TBtXAFb2f0I/AAAAAAAAINk/Xsh8tno7LRw/s72-c/bp+oil+spill+logo.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-8269337659689474504</id><published>2010-06-11T16:16:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T16:57:45.421+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='presentations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication strategy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sustainable design'/><title type='text'>Pecha Kucha Maastricht in Hasselt was great!</title><content type='html'>Already some weeks ago, the 20th of May, I was the first to provide a talk on my work in the Pecha Kucha line-up at Hasselt. I chose to be the first so I could enjoy the rest of the show in a relaxed way. And I was really surprised by the quality of the talks. Moste were fresh, very passionate innovative and powerful. Not arty-farty or fluffy.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object id="flashObj" width="480" height="270" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/57825838001?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="flashVars" value="videoId=87206210001&amp;amp;playerID=57825838001&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true"&gt;&lt;param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com"&gt;&lt;param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="swLiveConnect" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/57825838001?isVid=1&amp;amp;isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=87206210001&amp;amp;playerID=57825838001&amp;amp;&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="480" height="270" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" swliveconnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The most charming talk of the evening was without any doubt Astrid Vyt (the youngest participant) who talks about her own ecodesign brand Bombasj, and how she keeps big memories on big moments like festivals alive.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then there was &lt;a href="http://www.pechakuchamaastricht.eu/page_content.aspx?id=83&amp;amp;bcpid=9489481001&amp;amp;bclid=87107554001&amp;amp;bctid=87219061001"&gt;Nik of Pantopicon&lt;/a&gt; inviting the audience trough a stroll in his hometown Hasselt, igniting people's imagination on how particular things would be in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also appreciated &lt;a href="http://www.pechakuchamaastricht.eu/page_content.aspx?id=83&amp;amp;bcpid=9489481001&amp;amp;bclid=87107554001&amp;amp;bctid=87801385001"&gt;the talk of Jan Keymis&lt;/a&gt; on why to 'go down' instead of going up in  architecture.

He argues that the best survival kit is not a set of tools, but the right mentality between your ears. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When it comes to mine, I talked about &lt;a href="http://www.pechakuchamaastricht.eu/page_content.aspx?id=83&amp;amp;bcpid=9489481001&amp;amp;bclid=87107554001&amp;amp;bctid=87194669001"&gt;how to fool the brain for sustainabilit&lt;/a&gt;y.

What started as a joke became as big as 100.000 followers sharing opinion, graphics, video and most important... information.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The reason why it grows is the lack of information, transparency and credibility from BP. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Only when it comes to the environment, criminals are the investigators of their own crimes. People sense the bullshit in this. It is not the good idea of BPGlobalPR that makes it big, it is the belief of the people who agree that makes it big. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And no, it doesn't stop the oil spill. But it helps gaining ground to think different by the way we make things and the way we harvest our energy (make-take-waste and brutal force)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lots to learn about how to become a change agent.

Good insight. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not that we should be careful with 'weather', 'stars', or 'pollen', but I really appreciate the sort of books that succeed to ignite marvel. What are the key elements to provide access to a new field of interest and create marvel among audience? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Interesting question.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A lot of answers are to be found in the BBC documentary series 'Life' that I really appreciate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;David Attenborough is really a skillful storyteller.

We're living a cosmopolitan life. A lot of people live disconnected from the countryside, hardly knowing where our food is coming from. Right now, a mass of people in France is heading down to Paris to see how the most mundane of all boulevards, Les Champs-Elysées are transformed into green.&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_k89ts8TdI/AAAAAAAAILU/RBqETPiDOuQ/s320/Picture+71.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474473852983332306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;More then 150.000 threes, plants and flowers and 8000 parcels of ground, 300 kilograms each are brought to Paris tonight to build a green, agricultural boulevard. it is the initiative of les Jeunes Agriculteurs (a member based organisation with more then 55000 young farmers) Their objective is to show the world what efforts are needed tot produce the food we eat. Their aim is to establish a dialogue with the public: They both want to express what they do, reconnect with citizens and ask what the general public expects from agriculture in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_k9S6Uf7ZI/AAAAAAAAILc/qtY8JcY2zPc/s320/Picture+70.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474474217147723154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To my point of view, a positive attitude, experience and conversation starter leading to a positive image. French Farmers go trough difficult times these days, and this big momentum is at least more remarkable and will generate more societal backup then just another strike.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

And it is exactly the opposite as everyone else. In this TED-talk, Simon Sinek explains you exactly the basic idea of reversing the order in how we communicate.&lt;br /&gt;He supports his view with examples like Apple, the Wright brothers and Martin Luther King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some smashing quotations:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it&lt;br /&gt;- The goal is not to do business with everyone who needs what you have, the goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe&lt;br /&gt;- If we communicate from the inside out, we talk directly to the part of the brain that controls behavior, and we allow people to rationalize with the tangible things we say and do&lt;br /&gt;- People who believe what you believe will take your cause for their own and share your believe with others&lt;br /&gt;- We follow those who lead, not for them, but for ourselves&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we match this with cradle-to-cradle for instance, as an example of a very successful philosophy, it makes sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_GQB4oSFfI/AAAAAAAAIK8/ypBGhokc1Hk/s1600/Picture+20.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_GQB4oSFfI/AAAAAAAAIK8/ypBGhokc1Hk/s320/Picture+20.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472313384287475186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It corresponds perfectly with 'not addressing the Captain Spock of our brain (the reflective system of the brain, the homo economicus), but addressing the Homer Simpson of our brain (the automatic system, the homo sapiens).

By the girl that's now working at the counter. It doesn't look like overproduced marketing. This is a message 'only here, and only now'... witnessing some of the EXKI empathy for local consumer behavior, partnering with UGC cinema right accross the street. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we look back at the early marketing of Starbucks, the chalkboard was (and still is!) one of its main communication channels. All new products and taste varieties were introduced on the chalkboard. First of all, it always looked "new", and was a trustworthy and real conversation starter. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Imagine Starbucks decided to launch all its new coffees into mass media (just like Mc Donalds does with every new burger), consumers would think that everyone has seen it on TV. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Asking: "do you know this new frappucino at Starbucks?" would feel a bit silly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It wouldn't be flattering anymore to talk about the new Komodo Dragon blend, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;or Caffè Verona you can discover just around the corner. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Therefore, reconsider the chalkboard. At least, it feels like someone really wants to tell you something.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-7574789256245534409?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/7574789256245534409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/05/power-of-chalkboard.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/7574789256245534409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/7574789256245534409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/05/power-of-chalkboard.html' title='The power of the chalkboard'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S-hM5ZG9VoI/AAAAAAAAIJc/Dhp8zV5k5ck/s72-c/IMG_0122.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-833058555771034091</id><published>2010-05-10T16:36:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-10T17:13:27.439+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication strategy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='models'/><title type='text'>The Green marketing triangle at the Recentre coaching sessions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S-gv7dozp_I/AAAAAAAAIJQ/BxkzII0P_98/s1600/Picture+27.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S-gv7dozp_I/AAAAAAAAIJQ/BxkzII0P_98/s320/Picture+27.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469674446056040434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table style="width:194px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/stefaanvandist/MilkTheGreenCow1005101758?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S-guSKkbx7E/AAAAAAAAIJM/-OClh747Gu0/s160-c/MilkTheGreenCow1005101758.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/stefaanvandist/MilkTheGreenCow1005101758?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;"&gt;Milk the green Cow 10/05/10 17:58&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Last week, it was the second of three coaching sessions of Recentre (centre for sustainable design) at the AINSI, a remarkable building in Maastricht. There I had the pleasure again to take a very diverse audience trough different techniques and strategies on how to gain ground for sustainable products and services. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; I took the participants trough a process stuffed with examples, riddles, kickstart questions and exercises that was all structured by a model that provides a certain logic, so participants can also us it in their own practice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here you'll find what I would like to call 'the Green marketing Triangle. A model that starts from the idea that there are always three communication agendas; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;the product experience, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the brand belief and &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the company credibility.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you confront these three levels with three strategic families:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Communicate an USP&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Share a big ideal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And challenge the status quo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;You end up with nine strategic angle points to turn your green alternative into a success. You can use it as the basis for a green marketing brainstorm session, just as we did last Thursday in Maastricht.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can still subscribe for the next and last session in June; this day will be focused on 'building boardroom buy-in'.

And it really makes sense. Er was een tijd dat je al je expertise inzette om een degelijke situatie-analyse te maken, de hele strategische oefening maakte om tot de juiste value proposition te komen, en tenslotte helemaal uiteenzette hoe die kan werken, op welk draagvlak, via welke kanalen, en wat het stappenplan was om dit uit te voeren.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Je deed dit werk grotendeels in een agentschap. Met collega's. En je kwam terug met een rapport. Een presentatie. Je klant zou je feliciteren met het degelijke werk. En je aanbeveling zou in een schuif belanden. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In bovenstaand scenario heb je op een bevlogen manier op de inhoud gewerkt. Buiten de grenzen van je klant. Buiten de relatie tussen je klant en haar klanten. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wanneer we dieper graven dan enkel 'de communicatiestrategie', is het meer dan ooit belangrijk om een verandering van binnen naar buiten te laten groeien, en niet andersom. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dan moet je de mensen die de verandering gaan moeten dragen vanaf moment één betrekken. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Op een kleinschalig niveau probeer ik dat ook tijdens mijn lezingen te doen. Ik probeer niet alleen een stukje inhoud over te brengen, maar ook te inspireren met succesvolle voorbeelden die relevant zijn voor de situatie van mijn publiek. Maar daar houdt het niet op.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In iedere voordracht wil ik het publiek ook graag een simpel instrumentje meegeven datze kunnen toepassen in hun eigen dagelijkse praktijk. 'The Seven sins fo Greenwashing', is tot hiertoe blijkbaar nog steeds het meest populaire voorbeeld. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style=" color: rgb(85, 85, 85);  white-space: pre; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="width:425px" id="__ss_3493580"&gt;&lt;strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/StefaanVandist/seven-sins-of-greenwashing-new-version" title="Seven Sins Of Greenwashing new version"&gt;Seven Sins Of Greenwashing new version&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=pomsevensinsofgreenwashingforweb-100321071805-phpapp02&amp;amp;stripped_title=seven-sins-of-greenwashing-new-version"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=pomsevensinsofgreenwashingforweb-100321071805-phpapp02&amp;amp;stripped_title=seven-sins-of-greenwashing-new-version" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="padding:5px 0 12px"&gt;View more &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/"&gt;presentations&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/StefaanVandist"&gt;StefaanVandist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vrijdag 12 Maart was ik uitgenodigd door de POM Oost-Vlaanderen en tegast op een netwerkmoment van ANSWER, Een Europees platform voor ondernemers en regio's die samenwerken rond duurzaamheid en energie-efficientie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Daar gingen we nog een stapje verder. Na drie korte presentaties rond greenwashing, groene marketing en nieuwe marketingtechnieken, deelden we het publiek in kleinere groepen om te werken rond enkele realistische cases. Op die manier wisten ze het geleerde ook toe te passen op een organisatie die nauw aansloot bij hun eigen realiteit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Zo werden den instrumenten, invalshoeken en tips uit de presentatie opeens bruikbaar. En niet meer van mij, maar wel van hen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het was voor mij de derde keer om het op die manier aan te pakken, en steeds ben ik ervan versteld hoe verrassend creatief mensen wel zijn, zolang je hen maar de juiste kickstart en instrumenten geeft. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-6734517547831267746?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/6734517547831267746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-het-proces-belangrijker-dan-de.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6734517547831267746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6734517547831267746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-het-proces-belangrijker-dan-de.html' title='Is het proces belangrijker dan de inhoud?'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-8155020200340869297</id><published>2010-03-21T13:32:00.003Z</published><updated>2010-03-21T13:48:14.434Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brand encounters'/><title type='text'>Hoe een provincie ons kan helpen aan groene energie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S6Yi__rDvMI/AAAAAAAAIEQ/23BqZq-RykY/s1600-h/image004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S6Yi__rDvMI/AAAAAAAAIEQ/23BqZq-RykY/s320/image004.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451082881797700802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  color: rgb(74, 68, 42); font-weight: bold; font-family:Tahoma, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Zonne-energie onder de grond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"    style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi- font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;color:#4A442A;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; "&gt;Ieder jaar verbrandt de mensheid naar schatting 100.000 jaar aan fossiele zonne-energie. Want dat is in feite wat fossiele brandstoffen zijn: koolwaterstofverbindingen, ontstaan uit resten van plantaardig leven van tussen de 359 en 0,8 miljoen jaar geleden.&lt;br /&gt;Het gevolg van deze verbranding is gekend. CO2 dat opgeslagen zit in deze brandstoffen komt ‘en masse’ vrij. Dat zorgt ervoor dat de koolzuurgasconcentratie in onze atmosfeer jaarlijks stijgt, en dat leidt tot klimaatsverandering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fossiele brandstoffen spelen echter een rol in alle mogelijke geledingen van onze economie. Transport, energie, voedselproductie, consumptiegoederen, kunststoffen, medische toepassingen, … er is geen enkel facet van onze economie denkbaar, of er komt petroleum, of oliegerelateerde producten bij te pas.&lt;br /&gt;Het is ontzettend zonde om dit waardevol materiaal te verbranden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  color: rgb(74, 68, 42); font-weight: bold; font-family:Tahoma, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Zonne-energie boven de grond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:13px;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Tahoma, serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ieder sprietje gras oogst zonne-energie op een veel eco-effectievere, efficientere en meer directe manier dan hoe wij het doen. Bovendien maakt het proces deeluit van het ecosysteem, en zet het zich daar niet buiten.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Door fotosynthese in het bladgroen wordt koostofdioxide omgezet in koolhydraten, en dat leidt tot een metabolisme dat niet destructief is maar constructief. Denk aan plantengroei. Denk aan waterzuivering. Denk aan voedselproductie en uitwisseling met andere soorten.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Als mens zijn we er nog niet in geslaagd dit metabolisme in haar totaliteit te kopiëren en toepassingen te vinden in onze eigen industrie en energieproductie. Maar met onze huidige zonnepanelen zijn we al halfweg, en weten we op een steeds meer rendabele manier zonlicht om te zetten in elektriciteit.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;In feite zijn alle&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;energiebronnen rechtstreeks of onrechtstreeks vormen van&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;zonne-energie. Wind, getijden, golven, biodiesel, … De zon bestaat in feite uit kernfusie. Maar zelf kernfusie imiteren en daar energie uit oogsten,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;da’s een verhaal waar we voorlopig nog niet helemaal aan toe zijn.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(74, 68, 42); "&gt;Decentralisatie/ Power to the people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Een centrale energieproductie zoals een kerncentrale, en een one-to-many energiedistributie met een paar grote spelers paste perfect in het industriële efficiëntie-denken van de afgelopen eeuw.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Het blinkt uit op vlak van efficientie (volume), maar het is een systeem met weinig veerkracht (weerbaarheid voor wanneer iets mis gaat)&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Maar mede dankzij de evolutie op het internet (2.0), de modelfunctie van het internet voor de ontwikkeling van een intelligent electricteitsnetwerk (the smart grid in de V.S), en de toenemende&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;‘do-it-yourself-mentaliteit’ in consumentenmarkten, wint het idee voor een gedecentraliseerde productie en distributie meer en meer terrein.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;(Google transition towns)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Een interessant gevolg daarvan is dat enkel de energie geproduceerd en gedistribueerd wordt die nodig is, op de plaats waar ze nodig is,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;op de manier zoals ze plaatselijk het meest gebruik maakt van beschikbare bronnen zoals zee, zon of wind, voor-en-door de mensen die ze nodig heeft, enzovoort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Infeite is de natuur zelf het beste model. De natuur beloont efficiënt gebruik en hergebruik, coöperatie (symbiose), diversiteit, succesvolle aanpassing aan lokale omstandigheden, …&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Bovendien draait de hele biosfeer (al wat leeft) op zonne-energie.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(74, 68, 42); "&gt;Marktsucces van het gedecentraliseerd model&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;In Nederland krijgen energieneutrale woonwijken steeds meer voet aan wal. De zuinigheidscultuur is daarbij een belangrijke succesfactor. Er bestaan uiteenlopende modellen, maar vaak zijn collectieve aankoop of bezit, financieringsproducten of inventieve product-service-combinaties de basis om daken van huizen allemaal te voorzien van zonnepanelen. Maar steeds vaker wordt er een energie-mix ontwikkeld bestaande uit een bonte symbiose van verschillende technologieën: energieproductie uit rioolwater, stadsverwarming uit asfalt, geothermische energie, etc…&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Maar de meest opmerkzame groei van zonne-energie vinden we in Duitsland. Dankzij een fiscaal aantrekkelijke maatregel is Duitsland de grootste markt in de wereld voor foto-voltaïsche panelen. Het hele succesverhaal is schitterend in beeld gebracht in “Here comes the Sun”, door documentairemakers van de VPRO voor het duidingprogramma “Tegenlicht”.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLHBFyfvK8A"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLHBFyfvK8A&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(74, 68, 42); "&gt;Een interessant rekensommetje&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;Opdat mensen of lokale gemeenschappen naast consumenten ook producenten zouden worden, zijn installaties nodig die geld kosten. Die investering is een drempel. Tenzij die vanaf moment één geld opbrengt in plaats van kost. Dat hebben enkele banken gedurende 2009 zeer goed begrepen, en hebben van zonn-energie een financieel product van gemaakt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Een ander vooruitzicht is dat vanaf 2012 elektrische wagens onze wegen zullen veroveren. Ons bewustzijn van wat een ‘kilowattuur’ is, zal sowieso groter worden. Dan wordt dat zoiets als de benzineprijs aan de pomp.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(74, 68, 42); font-weight: bold; "&gt;Hoe maken we dit soort transitie succesvol?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Een nieuwe technologie of nieuw model is niet het enige wat nodig is. Er is ook een culturele innovatie nodig met een breed maatschappelijke draagvlak.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Ook moeten mensen hun dak gaan zien als een nuttige ruimte. In het verleden zijn slimme marketingstrategieën erin geslaagd om van een badkamer een welness-ruimte te maken, en om van een tuin een volwaardig bijkomende ‘living room’ te maken. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Met een dak moet herbestemming ook mogelijk zijn.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"    style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi- font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;color:#4A442A;"&gt;Waarom de Provincie?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;De Provincies hebben een historische rol in de samenleving om oa. infrastructuren en diensten mogelijk te maken die de levensstandaard van burgers te verbeteren. Denk aan hun belangrijke bijdrage aan de distributie van drinkbaar water. Je staat er niet meer vaak bij stil, maar vandaag is stromend water een evidentie in de keuken en de badkamer, maar ooit was dat nieuw. Dankzij de provincie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;De provincie zou opnieuw deze maatschappelijke rol kunnen actualiseren en hard maken door deze maatschappelijke tendenzen met beide handen te grijpen. Bovendien wordt de reputatie van instellingen steeds vaker bepaald door wat je doet ipv. wat je zegt. De Provincie heeft er de perfecte rol, én de perfecte schaal voor.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL"   style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;De provincie kan energie-communities mogelijk maken, (voor)finaniering mogelijk maken, product-service-modellen ontwikkelen en aanbieden, publiek-private samenwerkingen aangaan, enz…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-8155020200340869297?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/8155020200340869297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/03/hoe-een-provincie-ons-kan-helpen-aan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/8155020200340869297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/8155020200340869297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2010/03/hoe-een-provincie-ons-kan-helpen-aan.html' title='Hoe een provincie ons kan helpen aan groene energie'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S6Yi__rDvMI/AAAAAAAAIEQ/23BqZq-RykY/s72-c/image004.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-1029870303271319152</id><published>2010-03-21T12:51:00.006Z</published><updated>2010-03-21T13:25:35.375Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication strategy'/><title type='text'>Van Iphone tot Brompton tot Kai-Mook: de reclame zit in het product.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S6Yd8lp31AI/AAAAAAAAIEI/GpgdLs_d07o/s1600-h/Picture+74.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S6Yd8lp31AI/AAAAAAAAIEI/GpgdLs_d07o/s400/Picture+74.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451077325715657730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Mensen vragen me soms wat mijn favoriete campagne is. Of wat een heel goed voorbeeld is van nieuwe marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Te vaak wordt er verwezen naar de Iphone. En inderdaad, de Iphone is een heel mooi voorbeeld van hoe de marketing ingebouwd is in het product, en hoe reeds in de ontwikkelingsfase is nagedacht over hoe mensen hun enthousiasme erover kunnen delen. Het zit in het ontwerp, de totaalervaring, de batch-value, de product-servicemodellen. Apple is een religie. Later hierover meer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar goed, die Iphone werkt in haar voorbeeldfunctie ook vaak heel verlammend, gezien niet iedere organisatie actief is in zo'n veelzijdige industrie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guillaume Van der Stighelen heeft het in zijn boek "Maak van je merk een held" ook vaak over de vouwfiets Brompton. Hij verklaart het succes aan de hand van een samenspel van drie dingen. Het is een unieke fiets waar mensen graag wat meer voor betalen. Bovendien is ieder vouwmoment een productdemonstratie in de juiste context (in het verkeer), en dit alles speelt een relevante rol in een grote maatschappelijke evolutie (onze zoektocht naar slimme mobiliteitsoplossingen)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schitterend voorbeeld van nieuwe marketing. De reclame ben je niet gaan kopen in de media. De reclame is deel van de productervaring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Een Jumbo-campagne&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik zou graag nog een mooi (en Belgisch!) voorbeeld geven:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een groot marketingsucces van het afgelopen jaar in België was ongetwijfeld het Kai-Mook-effect op de dierentuin. De manier waarop de geboorte van een olifantje de harten en betrokkenheid van het grote publiek heeft veroverd, is van een ongeziene omvang.&lt;br /&gt;Zonder klassieke media. Hier is geen campagne 'verzonnen'. Er is gezocht naar een interessant, bijzonder en emotioneel momentum in het product. In de dierentuin zelf. En dat werd gevonden in de zwangerschap van een olifant. De barrière tussen product en boodschap werd opgeheven. Er is niet alleen een nooit gezien bezoekersaantal (zowel in de Zoo als online tijdens de bevalling) gerealiseerd, maar ook is de juiste perceptie neergezet: De dierentuin is niet enkel een attractiepark, maar heeft ook een belangrijke taak in natuurbescherming en zoölogisch onderzoek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een interessante evolutie in reclame is die van fictie naar non-fictie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een campagne die opvalt, is tegenwoordig iets dat echt gebeurt.

It became Nopenhagen.&lt;div&gt;Somehow, it is not a big surprise. &lt;div&gt;Always believed that the environmental crisis will not be solved in the land of efficiency (rules and regulations, measures and things...), but in the land of effectiveness (the land of harmony, interdependence, creativity and innovation) Different approach. Different brain. Different thinking. But of-course, necessity is the mother of all innovation, and it is a pity that it is not stimulated via new measures, so new markets can flourish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The presentation above shows that the pathway to green in  big companies processes more or less trough similar steps. From the land of efficiency to the land of effectiveness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe creatives should finally take-over from policy-makers. Maybe that's where it should go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-7190573426502741483?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/7190573426502741483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/12/from-grey-to-green-in-seven-steps.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/7190573426502741483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/7190573426502741483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/12/from-grey-to-green-in-seven-steps.html' title='From grey to green in seven steps'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-5829583997685708489</id><published>2009-10-17T16:44:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-10-17T17:01:16.244Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='columns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wake up call'/><title type='text'>Silicon Valley in Antwerpen!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/Stn23EQLQkI/AAAAAAAAHdI/Bd4ZeKMKKfY/s1600-h/ademloos.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 183px; height: 183px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/Stn23EQLQkI/AAAAAAAAHdI/Bd4ZeKMKKfY/s400/ademloos.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393613454647706178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;België als logistiek centrum…&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;De lange wapper zou de snelst inzetbare manier zijn om de files op te lossen en goed zijn voor de ontwikkeling van de haven, dus goed voor de economie.

Is ‘logistiek’ voor de Belgische burgerbevolking het meest leefbaar, voor werknemers het meest werkzeker,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;en voor jonge ondernemers met gezonde ambitie de meest rooskleurige toekomst?&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Als logistiek onze grootste troef zou zijn, vind ik dat geen groot compliment.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Ik vind het zelfs een weinig ambitieus project voor een bevolking waar doorgaans een hoog opleidingsniveau op te meten is, waar veel mensen twee tot drie talen spreken, waar veel universiteiten zijn, en die gekend is voor haar harde werkijver. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Silicon Valley in Antwerpen!&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Heeft er ooit iemand het rekensommetje gemaakt of België, Vlaanderen of Antwerpen (kies gerust zelf) per vierkante kilometer economisch het meest gebaat is bij havenuitbreiding en een grotere doorstroomcapaciteit voor vrachtvervoer, of bij het verder doorontwikkelen van echte groeisektoren zoals bijvoorbeeld de kenniseconomie, clean tech, de creatieve sector, …&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Met alle respect. De Antwerpse haven doet het economisch niet bepaald goed. Ook voor de crisis wist het nooit op haar maximumcapaciteit te draaien. Deurganckdokken enzo, daar hebben weinig mensen ooit echt het belang van begrepen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Stel dat we al die open bedrijventerreinen in het noorden van Antwerpen nu eens aanwenden om nieuwe sektoren zoals kennis-, creatieve en clean techbedrijven optimaal de kans te geven? Stel dat we met het machtige havengebied terug aansluiting vinden bij de stad (met de ontwikkelinge van den Dam en het eilandje zit dat al aardig in de goeie richting). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Mensen zouden dicht bij hun werk kunnen wonen, en met een krant en een bakje koffie over rails of zelfs over het water naar hun werk kunnen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Sillicon Valley aan de Schelde.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Kantoor met zicht op water.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;En een job waar je trots op kan zijn, en werk voor mensen met ambitie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Enkele uren verwijderd van Londen, Parijs, Keulen, Amsterdam en Brussel. Dichtbij alle grote universiteiten en business centra van Europa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;De brug onder de grond stemmen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Morgen zou een burgerbeweging een project van de betonlobby en een kringetje conservatief politiek establishment onder de grond kunnen stemmen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Woonde ik nog in Antwerpen, ik had er graag aan bijgedragen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Wat kan je vandaag doen om te voorkomen dat een gezonde stadsontwikkeling letterlijk wordt doorgesneden? Vandaag zet de BAM een callcenter op om 1000'den Antwerpenaren te bellen om te overtuigen ja te stemmen. Doe niet hetzelfde. Als iedereen 10 mensen belt om te overtuigen nee te stemmen, en die bellen ook 10 mensen, dan houdt het nee-kamp stand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Btw. je bent geen nee-kamp. Je bent een ja-kamp. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Nog 70 keer slapen en de VN klimaatconferentie gaat van start in Kopenhagen (Cop15).&lt;br /&gt;Spontaan vraag ik me af hoe creatieve marketing kan bijdragen tot het welslagen van de conferentie, en uiteraard ben ik niet de enige.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Geneva;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Om regeringen wereldwijd onder druk te zetten, riep de VN de grote reclamegroepen op &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;de wapens op te nemen ter verdediging van de klimaatskwestie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Zo nodigt de Hopenhagen-campagne het publiek uit om de klimaatspetitie te tekenen op &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hopenhagen.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:windowtext;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;www.hopenhagen.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, en hun hoop voor de toekomst uit te drukken.&lt;br /&gt;Verder is het een website gestoffeerd met een nieuwssectie, enkele basis-sociale netwerkfunctionaliteiten (zet het op je Facebook) , wat duiding, en heel wat visuele sfeer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;De campagne werd ontwikkeld door het reclamebureau Ogilvy &amp;amp; Mather en wordt in de hele wereld geactiveerd via zijn netwerk. Daarnaast beloven nog heel wat grote communicatienetwerken met hun agentschappen op de kar te springen: de Omnicom Group, Interpublic Group, Interbrand, de Publicis Groupe, …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Allen nemen ze deel aan deze wereldcommunicatie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Het probleem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Klinkt veelbelovend. Laat ons hopen dat Hopenhagen of aanverwanten nog heel wat in petto hebben, want zoals het er nu bijstaat stelt het me eigenlijk een beetje teleur.Naast een hoop functionele ergernissen, blijft de Hopenhagen-campagne naar mijn gevoel te veel hangen in het model en de campagne-toon van ‘activisme’: mensen vanuit de zijlijn naar binnen laten roepen om verandering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Heel wat generaties zijn op de barricade getrokken voor allerlei nobele zaken, gewapend met polsbandjes, spandoeken en petities, schreeuwend om verandering. We hebben gedanst voor ‘t klimaat. The big ask. Again and again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;En uiteraard ben ik daar heel blij om. Activisme zal er altijd zijn, en dat is maar goed ook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Alleen is er vandaag bij de burgerbevolking al een behoorlijk groot draagvlak, en dat behoeft helemaal geen ‘change the world-campagne’ meer die wordt ingeleid met beelden van verdrinkende ijsberen en global Somalia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;De oplossing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Wat we wel nodig hebben is een campagne die gestoeld is op een co-operatief model.&lt;br /&gt;Een offensief dat de burgerbevolking centraal stelt in plaats van de politiek, en hen het goede gevoel geeft dat ze niet veraf staan, maar actief participeren aan Cop15.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Dan is de vraag aan reclamebureau’s niet: “create awareness and make people sign the petition“, maar wel: ‘hoe laten we burgers samenwerken voor het algemeen belang’?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Hoe halen we de bevolking uit die zijlijn, en hoe waarderen we ze, actief in het midden van iets? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;En laat ons daarover een campagne maken. Er zijn bestaande voorbeelden genoeg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Greenpeace, die ‘activisme’ nogthans diep in haar genen heeft, hanteert al geruime tijd de kracht van co-operatie en communities. Denk aan de ‘Green my apple’ campagne, waar Mac-fans werden betrokken bij een creatief offensief om Apple te overtuigen een groenere Mac te maken. Bleek doeltreffend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Wecycle is ook een bijzonder initiatief in Nederland, waar afgedankte electrische apparaten ondermeer worden verzameld via de scholen aan de hand van aantrekkelijke incentives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Benjamin Franklin zei ooit: “tell me and I will forget, show me and I might remember, but involve me and I will understand. En dat is exact wat rond Copenhagen in België moet gebeuren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In plaats van ‘Hopenhagen’, hebben we een campagne nodig die ‘Kopenhagen in België’ zou kunnen heten. Ondersteund door (media)partners en mogelijk gemaakt met sociale media motiveer je allerlei organisaties in het sociale weefsel (scholen, jeugdbewegingen, gezinnen, collega’s, …) om hun eigen Copenhagen te houden, en het resultaat ervan onder elkaar te delen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Alles wat je nodig hebt om daar een zinvol moment van te maken, wordt voorzien online.&lt;br /&gt;Mensen zouden er een heel democratisch gevoel bij hebben, zich betrokken voelen, en inzicht hebben in de bijdrage die ze zelf kunnen leveren. Mensen zouden het resultaat van de optelsom kunnen zien van al die bijdrages, en… op ‘t einde van de rit zou de druk op COP15 misschien wel groter zijn dan met een petitie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Als je kijkt naar de moslimwereld - en niet in ’t Middenoosten dit keer, maar wel in ons eigen landje - dan is er duidelijk iets heel bijzonders aan de gang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Als ons beeld van de Islam de komende jaren zal wijzigen, dan zal het niet dankzij onze media, onze overheid of ons eigen politiek correct fatsoen zijn, maar wel dankzij een hele generatie Belgische moslima’s die iets willen bereiken. Ze zijn 100% vrouw. Ze zijn scherp van tong en weten heel goed wat ze willen. Ze willen geen scholen boycotten, maar studeren. Ze willen naar de universiteit en daarna een nobele rol bekleden in de samenleving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Je kan het al een tijdje zien. Je ziet het op TV als er weer eens een debat is over integratie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Twee maanden per jaar sta ik ‘s avonds les te geven in het volwassenenonderwijs, en daar zie je het heel duidelijk. Je ziet het aan wie gedreven is. Je ziet het aan wie afstudeert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Precies daarom vond ik het ontzettend onrechtvaardig, maar vooral heel dom toen ik hoorde dat er een hoofdoekenverbod werd aangekondigd in de Antwerpse Athenea. Onrechtvaardig omdat je mensen kwetst, en een belangrijk onderdeel van hun ontwikkeling en identiteit afneemt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Dom omdat je zogenaamde onderdrukking niet kan oplossen met een ander soort onderdrukking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Onbegrijpelijk trouwens dat het onder het voorwendsel van ‘emancipatie’ gebeurt. Beste schooldirecteuren, die emancipatie waar jullie blijkbaar zo bezorgd om zijn, die vormt zich momenteel bij de Moslima’s zelf. En die mag je niet fnuiken. Die moet je van binnenuit de kans geven om te groeien. En ja; met hoofddoek. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Want een onderwijsinstelling zou haar leerlingen net moeten klaarmaken voor een toekomst waar culturen steeds dichter bij elkaar komen te staan. Een schooldirectie mag daarom de verschillen niet wegmoffelen, maar ons daar net het goede van laten inzien, en ons daar mee om leren gaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In plaats van me er nog langer aan te ergeren, heb ik overleg gepleegd met Olaf en Gertjan, copywriter en art director bij 10 Advertising. We vonden immers dat &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;in een stad van iedereen, je op je kop mag zetten wat je wil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; We namen contact op met de dames van &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;BOEH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;! (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.baasovereigenhoofd.be/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;www.baasovereigenhoofd.be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;), en waren het er snel over eens dat we een positieve en grappige actie moesten ontwikkelen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Een campagne die op zich groter is dan een ja-nee spelletje. Want dit beperkt zich infeite niet tot de Islam, maar gaat over het recht om met trots je overtuiging en religie te beleven. Het gaat over recht op je persoonlijkheid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Het is nu uitkijken naar 1 september, een dag waar we hopen dat we met humor zoveel mogelijk publieke opinie kunnen winnen. Laat ons hopen dat humor de absurditeit van het hoofdoekenverbod zal aankaarten voor heel wat mensen. Ik sta zelf in ’t onderwijs, en heb er eigenlijk nooit een moment bij stilgestaan of je nu betere of slechtere schoolresultaten zou boeken met een hoofddoek.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Je kan BOEH steunen.

Een herkenbaar paneeltje aan de deurbel wijst erop dat de bewoner (of het gehuisveste bedrijf) deel uitmaakt van de zonne-community van dat merk. Wat op zich ook goeie reclame betekent. Het brengt immers het juiste &lt;u&gt;verhaal&lt;/u&gt; op gang als gasten aanbellen. En is mond-aan-mond-reclame niet de beste reclame? Daarna zouden de gasten bij het aperitief met &lt;u&gt;bewondering&lt;/u&gt; kunnen kijken naar een hip meettoestelletje in I-pod design op de salontafel.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language: NL-BE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Het zonne-energiebedrijf kan in haar reclame-campagnes het zonnetijdperk aankondigen en in schil contrast met het ‘passé’-tijdperk van fossiele brandstoffen stellen. Zo creeërt ze niet alleen zichzelf, maar ook haar&lt;u&gt; vijand&lt;/u&gt;. De vijand wordt zowaar ontmaskerd als een monster dat de mensheid al jaren onfair behandeld heeft. Zo hebben klanten een goed gevoel over zichzelf, voelen ze zich &lt;u&gt;superieur&lt;/u&gt; en in verbondenheid met het merk ten opzichte van &lt;u&gt;ongelovigen&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language: NL-BE"&gt;Want net zoals een religie hoort een merk te communiceren vanuit een sterke&lt;u&gt; wereldvisie&lt;/u&gt;. Ze moet een formule aanreiken hoe u en ik kunnen toetreden en &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;toewijden&lt;/u&gt;. Het merk heeft ook concrete zaken te vertellen: bijvoorbeeld hoeveel kilowatt-uur, hoeveel vierkante kilometer of hoeveel daken er nodig zijn om onze hele wereld te voorzien van zonne-energie.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language: NL-BE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Een belangrijk evangelie om gelovigen te winnen is de terugverdien- of investeringsformule. Dit overtuigend rekensommetje is de &lt;u&gt;doctrine&lt;/u&gt; die voor de consument de bevrijding van hun aloude elektriciteitsleverancier inluidt. Dit evangelie moet goed vormgegeven zijn, want het stelt gelovigen in staat om andere gelovigen voor het ideeëngoed te winnen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language: NL-BE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Het merk moet er voor zorgen dat zich dagelijks een interessant &lt;u&gt;ritueel&lt;/u&gt; bij de klanten voordoet. Dat mensen op hun hippe meettoestel kijken hoeveel ze produceren en consumeren en zo iedere dag opnieuw hun geloof in duurzaamheid bevestigd zien.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language: NL-BE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ik kan nog een tijdje doorgaan, maar voeg tot slot een bijkomende, heel sterke analogie met religie toe. Het merk van zonnepanelen creëert best &lt;u&gt;gewijde plaatsen&lt;/u&gt;. Ze zou ze het dak van bekende en zichtbare gebouwen een kroonlijst met zonnepanelen moeten geven. Of wat dacht u van gekende voetbalstations? Zo zal het merk in het stadsbeeld op monumentale wijze aanwezig zijn. Mensen zullen omhoog kijken. Het merk wordt een religieuze grandeur aangemeten.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-6683196083172670506?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/6683196083172670506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/08/religie-toegepast-op-een-merk-van.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6683196083172670506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6683196083172670506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/08/religie-toegepast-op-een-merk-van.html' title='Religie toegepast op een merk van zonnepanelen'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-5136268247791307422</id><published>2009-07-01T09:58:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T10:19:53.727+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='columns'/><title type='text'>In iedere tuin een wormentoren</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Een nieuw idee komt nooit uit jezelf. “Het komt naar je toe” hoor je vaak zeggen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Je moet er gewoon voor open staan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Zo zat ik op één van de eerste zonnige lentedagen in onze tuin wat voor mij uit te staren en in mezelf te mijmeren. Het moet een pauzemoment geweest zijn op een dag waar ik me bezig hield met het zaaien van Rucola, Kamille, het planten van Rozemarijn, Tijm, Bieslook en ander lekkers. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Kijkend naar het plompe kompostvat vond ik het gek dat wereldwijd landbouwgronden uitputten, terwijl wij mensen er toch voor zorgen dat er veel organisch afval voorhanden is.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Een half uur daarvoor was ik in het lokale tuincentrum nog onder de indruk van al die rijen roze en blauwe synthetische meststoffen die op het schap staan. Een teken dat ze in flinke rotatie verkocht worden. Ook vreemd als je weet hoeveel GFT-zakken wij met zijn allen wekelijks op de stoep zetten. Zakken vol nutriënten die we mits een juist procedé kunnen gebruiken om onze bloemenperkjes, borderplanten, heesters, fruitbomen, groenten- en kruidentuintjes mee te voeden.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ik denk spontaan aan regenwormen. In een hoopje omgewoelde aarde zie ik een regenworm zijn weg banen. Een dier waarvan ons op de lagere school werd verteld welke belangrijke rol zij vervult in het omzetten en distribueren van voedingsstoffen in de bodem. Uit een brochure van de Ovam herinner ik me de werking van een wormenbak. Letterlijk een bak met wormen. Alle tuin- en keukenafval kan erin. Je laat de wormen hun werk doen, en na verloop van tijd kan je onderaan een rijke, vloeibare wormencompost tappen. Je mag het gerust als de kaviaar van de organische mest beschouwen. “Vraag maar aan mensen die rozen kweken”.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Maar het is niet alleen de mest van wormen op zich die zo verrijkend is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;De beestjes zorgen ook voor meer zuurstof in de bodem, voor een betere doorsijpeling van regenwater, een hogere capaciteit van de bodem om vocht vast te houden en voor een rijkere diversiteit aan micro-organismen. Zo voorkomen wormen zelfs ziektes. Ze zorgen voor een gezonde weerstand van de bodem.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Wormen hoeven helemaal niet in een bak denk ik dan. Daar is enkel hun metabolisme van belang, maar niet de optelsom van hun spierkracht en hun ijver de weerstand van de grond te trotseren. Die kunnen beter in de grond blijven zitten, talrijk worden en graafwerk doen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wormen, maar dan met vrije uitloop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Het enige wat ik moet doen is ze rechtstreeks voederen. Ik moet zorgen voor een ondergronds metrostation voor regenwormen. Inclusief restaurant waar hen allerlei hapjes kan worden toegediend. Een kompostvat, maar dan smaller. Maar vooral dieper. Het moet tot een meter onder de grond zitten. Het moet via honderden kleine gaatjes de hele wormenwereld op een uitnodigende manier toegang verschaffen tot alle lekkernijen die ik er bovenaan ingooi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Omdat ik echt niets ken van biologie heb ik geen flauw idee of het zou werken. Ik kan het alleen weten wanneer ik een testopstelling in de tuin zet.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ik ga de doe-het-zelf-zaak binnen en koop er de breedste PVC-rioolpijp die ze hebben. Bijna anderhalve meter lang. Zo één die verbreed bovenaan, als koppeling met een andere pijp. Ik koop ook een deksel dat erop past.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Thuisgekomen boor ik de onderkant vol gaatjes. Iedere centimeter een gaatje, breed genoeg om een flinke worm toegang te verschaffen. De bovenste helft blijft gaaf. Ik boor enkel wat verluhtingsgaatjes bovenaan en zet er een afsluitdeksel op om indringers buiten te houden.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Ik plaats mijn wormentoren strategisch tussen de aardperen, mijn kruidentuin, mijn veldbloemen en de plek waar binnenkort mijn tomatenplanten gaan komen. Ik vul iedere dag met wat etensresten, en moet na enkele dagen vaststellen dat het werkt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Net zoals één op drie huishoudens een Senseo op de keukenkast heeft, en een afwasmachine laat draaien, vraag ik me af of je van een wormentoren een success zou kunnen maken. Een nieuw product moet een goeie naam hebben. Wormtower vind ik al mooi in de buurt komen. Het klinkt robuust. Het klinkt alsof er heel wat bedrijvigheid in gangbaar is. Het klinkt als een baken in je tuin. Terecht.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Om me te onderscheiden van plompe compostbakken mag het er ook heel goed uitzien.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;De wormtower mag een strakke elegante vorm hebben die niet misstaat in de achtergrond van stammetjes, struiken, sierplanten of bloemenperken. Ee soort wolkenkrabber zoals je ze al gezien hebt op foto’s van Dubai. Het mag ook niet misstaan in een kruidentuin of moestuin. Het mag zelfs een monumentaal karakter hebben. Het maakt immers deeluit van je tuin haar (hum) “life support system”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Het moet ook makkelijk te bedienen zijn. Breed genoeg van boven. Makkelijk te openen en te sluiten. Geurvrij. Er mage en bijsluiter bij. Een soort Ikea-plan. Niet om je wegwijs te maken doorheen een bouwpakket, maar een schematische uitleg van hoe het werkt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Kan het ook uitgevoerd worden in een gerecycleerd plastiek? Ge-upcyclede PET-flessen? Kunnen we hem hebben in verschillende kleuren?&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Het zou nog veel tests, onderzoek en gesprekken met een bioloog, ecoloog, aankoopverantwoordelijke en productontwikkelaars vergen. Maar in mijn tuin werkt het. En het heeft allesinds geen kwaad gedaan, getuige de hoogte van de omliggende aardpeerplanten en de explosieve groei van de veldbloemen eromheen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Krijgen we hem voor maximaal 30 Euro in de winkelrekken? Bij de Bio Planet? In de tuincentra? Bij de doe-het-zelf-zaak? Wie tips of advies heeft van enige aard is vanharte welkom op &lt;a href="mailto:stefaan@trinity-planning.be"&gt;stefaan@trinity-planning.be&lt;/a&gt;. Laat ons een keten sluiten. Begin vanachter in je tuin.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-5136268247791307422?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/5136268247791307422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-iedere-tuin-een-wormentoren.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/5136268247791307422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/5136268247791307422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-iedere-tuin-een-wormentoren.html' title='In iedere tuin een wormentoren'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-4622469327851681432</id><published>2009-07-01T09:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T09:57:43.529+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='columns'/><title type='text'>Wat we kunnen leren van religie om duurzaamheid succesvol te maken</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level:1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;Afgelopen week vond het Internationaal Reclamefestival in Cannes plaats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Dit festival is voor reclamemensen ongeveer wat de Oscars voor filmregisseurs en acteurs betekent. Een soort internationale hoogmis waar vakgenoten uit alle uithoeken van de wereld elkaars creatieve werk lauweren.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Er worden sinds jaren campagnes geëerd omwille van de durf, het innovatief karakter, het verrassende creatief idee of het esthetisch vernuft waarmee het voor de dag komt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Maar liefst vinden juryleden al deze troeven tegelijk terug in ieder streepje reclamegeweld.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; Laatste jaren is er echter een trend op til. Wat opvalt is dat reclame minder en minder op reclame begint te lijken. Campagnes hebben steeds vaker iets weg van culturele innovatie, ‘sociale bewegingen’, of noem het maar gewoon ‘dingen die echt gebeuren’.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Van reclamereservaat naar sociaal weefsel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; In het reclamereservaat blijven hangen lijkt geen goeie strategie meer te zijn om mensen hun harten te veroveren.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Dat uit zich nog het meest in de jongste prijscategorieën. Naast de klassieke categoriën Film, Press of Outdoor worden er sinds kort naar hartelust Gouden Leeuwen en GrandPrix uitgereikt in nieuwe categorieën die geïntegreerde campagnes erkenning geven. Campagnes waar één idee zich moeiteloos door alle geledingen van pers, media, internet en burgerbevolking weet heen te weven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Waar vakjury’s op verlekkerd zijn geworden is niet zozeer de cosmetische aantrekkelijkheid of de verrassende invalshoek waarmee reclame onze aandacht onderbreekt. Vandaag zijn ze hongerig op zoek naar ideeën die levensvatbaar zijn in de schoot van het sociale weefsel zelf. Daardat ze gewoon heel interessant zijn. Doordat ze het waard zijn met elkaar te delen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ideeën die niet bedacht worden om uitgezonden te worden, maar wel om opgepikt worden.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Een gekend voorbeeld van eigen bodem is misschien wel de “Zonder Haat Straat campagne” van 2006, waar&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;meer dan 100.000 straatnaambordjes hun weg vonden naar vensters van mensen tegen zinloos geweld. (En sommige hangen er nog). 99% naamsbekendheid, 80% waardering. 0% klassieke reclamemedia.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Bedient de reclamesektor zich dan van een nieuw model? En wat werkt voor vakjury’s, werkt dat ook voor doelgroepen? Want bestond reclame niet in de eerste plaats om mensen te overtuigen, of toch op zijn minst ‘de juiste verwachtingen te scheppen?’&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Uiteraard evolueert de fylosofie van reclamemakers mee met de manier waarop mensen media en ideeën consumeren. Bij Saatchi &amp;amp; Saatchi zullen ze u vertellen over hun model Lovemarks, en bij Duval Guillaume zal men het hebben over een gelijkaardigheid tussen succesvolle merken en helden. Kijk voor de aardigheid maar eens naar www.heldenmerk.be&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Van reclame naar religie&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Maar het meest indrukwekkende ‘recept’ komt ongetwijfeld van onderzoeker en marketingguru Martin Lindstrom. Voor zijn boek “buyology” voerde hij het grootste neuromarketing-onderzoek ooit, in samenwerking met multinationals, geleerden en universiteiten. Gewapend met MRI-scanners keek hij mee in de hersenen van proefpersonen naar het effect van marketing, logo’s en reclame-uitingen. Met het resultaat wist hij van heel wat klassieke marktonderzoeksconventies brandhout te maken.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;In 2006 deed hij aan de universiteit van Montreal bij een reeks proeven een zeer opmerkelijke ontdekking: &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;De manier waarop wij de uitingen van geliefde merken ervaren is gelijkaardig aan de manier waarop wij religie ervaren&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Religies verschillen veel, maar ze hebben ook een tiental pijlers gemeen. Dingen zoals een diep gedeeld gevoel van ‘erbij horen’, een duidelijke werkelijkheidsvisie, een superioriteit ten aanzien van vijanden van het geloof, een zintuiglijke aantrekkingskracht, sterke verhalen, grandeur, een evangelie, symbolen en tekens, mysterie en rituelen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;En laat dat nu toevallig de elementen zijn waar een nieuwe generatie marketeers en merkenbouwers zich mee bedient om op een geïntegreerde manier succes te bouwen. Je ziet het bij Apple, je ziet het bij Starbucks, je ziet het bij Nike, en bij Obama.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Obama’s Grand Prix&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Op het reclamefestival van Cannes, werd in de category ‘Integrated’ dit jaar een Grand Prix gewonnen door de Obama/ Biden presidential campaign. Terecht kan je stellen. Het resultaat zit nu in het Witte Huis. Je kan voor de aardigheid het hele rijtje pijlers van religie invullen en interpreteren.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Als geen ander was het een campagne die gedragen werd door de burgers zelf. Mensen werden in staat gesteld ritueel aan de campagne bij te dragen wanneer ze dat wilden: online, of zelfs met hun GSM via my.barackobama.com. Ruim 13 miljoen Amerikanen waren via deze toepassing actief verbonden met de campagne en met elkaar.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Het symbol van de campagne was een rijzende zon over Amerika. En infeite was het dat wat Obama belichaamde.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;De visie was duidelijk. Als we geloven in onszelf, en de mogelijkheid komaf te maken met het oude estabisment, dan lukt dat ook (yes, we can).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;De beweging rond Obama zette zich als believers ostentatief af tegen de cynisci. Het was ‘Positive Change over America’ versus het Amerika van Bush.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Visuele kunstenaars zoals Shepard Fairey en popsterren zoals Josse Stone brachten hun artistieke bijdrage aan de campagne. Zo wist men een generatie te bereiken die daarvoor nooit politiek actief zou geweest zijn. Heel opmerkelijk waren ook interactief pionierswerk op Facebook en in populaire games. Het sterkste verhaal was natuurlijk Obama zelf. Een ongekende, jonge en zwarte senator met drie jaar ervaring in Washington schopt het tot presidentskandidaat. Maar daarnaast was iedere redevoering een vernuft staaltje copywriting in de traditie van leiders-predikanten zoals M.L.King.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Publieke vertoningen evolueerden in crescendo tot gewijde momenten die meer leken op popconcerten dan op pakweg een Democratische conventie of inauguratie zoals we die daarvoor gekend hebben. Het was U2 die Obama zijn sacrale soundtrack leverde: City of blinding lights.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; En zo kan je nog een tijdje doorgaan.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Mensen doen geloven in duurzaamheid&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;Een foute conclusie zou zijn dat we van duurzaamheid een religie of doctrine moeten maken. Maar de Grand Prix van Obama toont wel aan hoe we een pleidooi voor transitie succesvol kunnen maken met een recept dat doorheen de geschiedenis, en ook nu in het heden haar diensten meer dan ooit bewezen heeft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Een heel uitdagende vraag is: Hoe kunnen we de ingrediënten van religie toepassen op zonne-energie? Op biologische landbouw? Op cradle2cradle? Op electrisch rijden? Op urban farming?&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat mensen het er graag mee eens zijn en er graag willen bijhoren?&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Ofwel, hoe zorgen we ervoor dat mensen erin geloven? &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

De opeenstapeling aan grote uitdagingen is nog nooit in de geschiedenis zo groot geweest. Armoedebestrijding, Mondiale voedselvoorziening, Een groene economie ontwikkelen, vul het lijstje gerust zelf aan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "&gt;En intussen blijven wij ongebreideld consumeren.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Crisis of niet: wij Westerlingen zitten op een hoop geld en weten er geen blijf mee. Het jeukt in onze zakken, en uitgeven lijkt wel uitleven.Want dat geld, daar hebben we hard voor gewerkt. We hebben daarvoor gedaan wat onze baas ons vroeg. We hebben compromissen gesloten, en ons met vervelende dingen bezig gehouden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Vorige week nog hebben we vijf dagen opgesloten gezeten in een kantoorgebouw terwijl het buiten mooi weer was. Logisch dat we dat geld willen inruilen voor dingen die ons iets waard zijn. En liefst snel!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;En omdat ‘waarde’ voor ieder individu iets anders is, ga je meteen begrijpen waarom je mensen de gekste dingen ziet doen met geld: 4X4’s kopen om mee door een dure winkelstraat te rijden, een verzameling aanleggen van dieren in geslepen glas, GSM’s kopen met mogelijkheden waar je nog geen fractie van zal gebruiken. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Dingen kopen die net een beetje beter zijn dan die van anderen. Het levert ons sociale status. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;We spiegelen ons aan mondaine mensen, sterren en stijliconen. En als we dat niet kunnen bereiken, kopen we dingen waarvan we denken dat ze ons in de buurt brengen. We kopen dingen waarmee we onszelf graag zien. We willen geld omzetten in dat soort “waarde”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Die waarde is subjectief. En we zullen altijd makkelijk rationele argumenten vinden om andere mensen hun waardepallet te veroordelen.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Maar wat we ook kunnen doen, is daar het goede van inzien. Want er is goed nieuws.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Onze waarden veranderen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Bijna de hele geschiedenis loonde het om slecht te zijn. Heel wat bedrijven boeren goed dankzij roofbouw, ongelijkheid en misbruik. Hele naties zelfs. Wij hebben honderden jaren aan een stuk ontdekt, veroverd, geplunderd, beroofd en onderdrukt in de naam der beschaving. Zonder enige schaamte. Het heeft geloond. Eeuwenlang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Het loonde om te liegen over de schadelijkheid van sigaretten, het loonde om te liegen over mensenrechten, het loonde om te liegen over global warming. Het loonde om belastingen te ontduiken onder het mom van ‘iedereen doet het’. Niemand was verplicht op de hoogte te zijn. Tot op heden. Vandaag zorgt de technologie en de nieuwe media voor volledige transparantie. Alles komt aan de oppervlakte en niets kan verborgen blijven.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#948A54"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; "&gt;Grootschalige fraude komt aan het licht doordat mensen communiceren over het web. Arthur Andersen is verdwenen door slecht gedrag, en twee Belgische politici namen eind vorig jaar ontslag nadat op Youtube filmpjes verschenen waar je hen rascisitsiche liedjes zag zingen. Opgenomen met een GSM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Als de beelden van represailles in Iran ons niet bereiken via journalisten, dan komen ze wel op onze televies terecht dankzij Twitter, Facebook en Youtube.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Big Brother blijkt een klein broertje te zijn dat vanachter zijn scherm je balans, milieurapport, je afspraakje met je minares en je cholesterolgehalte kan nagaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Als het slechte niet verborgen kan blijven, dan het goede ook niet&lt;span style="color:#948A54"&gt; .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Leiders van bedrijven, organisaties en naties over de hele wereld, zullen bij het besturen eindelijk hun geweten kunnen volgen. Want het zal opbrengen. Ze zullen ervoor bewonderd worden, en anderen zullen er een voorbeeld aan nemen. Barack Obama werd president door bruggen te bouwen tussen mensen en hoop te verspreiden. Hij voerde geen campagne. hij stelde de mensen in staat om de campagne te voeren. Zo kreeg hij een warme beweging op gang die de hele natie heeft bevrijd van de koude greep van het oude establishment.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Er zijn meer voorbeelden. Ze volgen elkaar in een steeds groter wordend tempo op.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Het ziet er naar uit dat Shai Agassi (van Project Better Place) de wereld gaat veroveren met zijn electrische auto. Voedingsconcerns proberen verpakkingen te ontwikkelen die volledig composteren en die zaadjes bevatten van wilde bloemen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;Anita Roddick is multimiljonair geworden door de hele cosmeticawereld een groene schop onder de kont te geven met haar Body Shop. L’Oréal heeft voor haar zaak een onwaarschijnlijk fortuin neergelegd.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Omdat het stillaan begint op te brengen om goed te zijn voor de wereld.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Twee categoriën in de supermarkt doen het nog steeds heel goed ondanks de crisis: Bio en Fairtrade.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Het is alsof&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;iemand het licht heeft aangestoken in een donkere tunnel. Tot voor kort waren we bang van elkaar, en kon je je maar beter aansluiten bij de slechterikken om je veilig te voelen. Nu is het ochtend en wat blijkt?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We hebben allemaal een warm hart en willen een mooie toekomst voor ons nageslacht.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Deze evolutie gaat ondanks de crisis ongetwijfeld de komende jaren doorwerken in het waardenpatroon van ons, kleine individuën.

font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;Ogilvy and Mather, the advertising, marketing and PR group, is set to launch a new unit, Ogilvy Earth, which will be based in 30 offices around the world and focus on issues relating to sustainability, as its seeks to move beyond its current role and become a "business accelerator". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;The company, part of the WPP Group, was recently appointed to develop a campaign heightening awareness of a UN conference that is to be held in Copenhagen later this year, aiming to galvanise consumers, the private and public sectors to take a more active role in countering climate change. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;It has also previously worked on environmentally-focused communications such as "Beyond Petroleum" for BP, the oil giant, and "Smart Planet" for IBM, the solutions and services provider. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;According to Miles Young, the agency network's chief executive, the move is intended to position Ogilvy as "business accelerators", a role that agencies have surrendered in recent times. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;Young argued that the "industry as a whole has slightly dumbed down, so at one point management consultants were making serious attacks on some of the roles of communications agencies." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;However, as "their attacks have receded," there are now "opportunities to make incursions into their territory" and "move back to being a partner at an intellectual level with our clients." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;O&amp;amp;M's new approach has also been prompted by broader changes in consumer behaviour, as the "view of taking a message and shooting it at people is shifting to a new world where communications is about content and content knows no boundaries." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Monaco"&gt;Data sourced from Financial Times;

That saves 840 Euro's a year and 1,84 tons of CO2.&lt;br /&gt;They're looking for Leasing companies that want to add "tire pressure control" into their service packages. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-6125672858857878178?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/6125672858857878178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/04/e-co2be-increasing-fuel-efficiency-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6125672858857878178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6125672858857878178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/04/e-co2be-increasing-fuel-efficiency-with.html' title='E-co2.be: increasing fuel-efficiency with tire pressure control'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/Sd2_sB9ZvSI/AAAAAAAAGtg/U0vG2AhxFns/s72-c/eco2_W.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-1870201187328656753</id><published>2009-04-01T18:13:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-04-01T18:14:02.391Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='triple bottom line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sustainable design'/><title type='text'>There comes the new economy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_1227966"&gt;&lt;a style="font:14px Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;display:block;margin:12px 0 3px 0;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.slideshare.net/onsustain/learnigns-from-silicon-valley?type=presentation" title="Clean-tech &amp;amp;

Both virtually and in real life. This is a digital campaign of an &lt;a href="http://www.ecolifeunderwear.com/"&gt;underwear brand called Ecolife&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After downloading the software for $4.99, you dig a virtual hole by creating a digging motion with your iPhone until your seedling appears. Then you plant it.&lt;br /&gt;Not only might the gardening bring happiness to you, The Conservation Fund also benefits. For each virtual tree planted, the fund will plant a native tree in real life--starting with the restoration of vulnerable wildlife habitats along the Gulf Coast in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;But even if your garden is virtual, you'll have to be a constant gardener to make your iPhorest tree grow. Shaking your phone produces rain to water your seedling, and when the virtual sun shines, your tree begins to grow.&lt;br /&gt;You can plant additional trees in the forest view screen by clicking on the shovel, and send your tree to others.

It is not about problems-problems-problems, but the focus and editorial foundation is about solutions. It appeals our fascination for technique and nature just as National Geographic does, and it inspires with insights and creative idea's on how to solve the major problems of our time.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;find more info on the content, here:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.SciAmEarth3.com"&gt;www.SciAmEarth3.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-6255752645805157243?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/6255752645805157243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/scientific-american-earth-30.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6255752645805157243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6255752645805157243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/scientific-american-earth-30.html' title='Scientific American Earth 3.0'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/SZvHAQoGp0I/AAAAAAAAGrE/SJOcb7zAXeQ/s72-c/se_2008-12.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-4312736223982969005</id><published>2009-02-17T13:29:00.006Z</published><updated>2009-02-17T14:05:00.989Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how cause new marketing?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication strategy'/><title type='text'>How to gain share of heart among the broad public with the Smart Grid?</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NK59Beq0Sew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NK59Beq0Sew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Electricity companies don't fall into the most exciting advertising categories.&lt;br /&gt;On top of that, a "Smart Grid" is not the easiest thing to explain to consumers or to gain "share of heart".&lt;br /&gt;But it needs goodwill, as the American powergrid was not renewed since 112 years and needs a make-over in the perspective of cutting down greenhouse gasses and Repower America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This General Electric campaign introduces its Smart Grid technology and is using an &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;exciting augmented reality function&lt;/span&gt; to bring the idea to life, in a continuation of the consistently excellent Ecomagination campaign.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The statistics and benefits were brought to life through data visualisation, a film and 3D augmented reality experience designed to turn consumers into Smart Grid advocates at the stunning and informative &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plugintothesmartgrid.com/"&gt;www.plugintothesmartgrid.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The augmented reality component allows users to manipulate 3D models of wind and solar power using only a webcam and a solar panel marker, a distinct symbol that activates the hologram.

Beleidsbabbel is een aangenaam gevatte newsletter en interessant instrument om op de hoogte te blijven van de milieu-actualiteit in België.

Het nucleair forum gooit er maar liefst 2 miljoen euro tegenaan. Veel subtiliteit hebben die miljoenen alvast niet opgeleverd. Kernenergie is goed, en met hernieuwbare energie gaat het licht uit. Daar komt het zo’n beetje op neer. Dat is er zodanig over dat het zelfs niet evident was om iemand te vinden die de spotjes wou inspreken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zo stapte acteur Koen De Bauw de studio weer uit, toen hij de teksten voor de neus kreeg: "Vanuit mijn vak ben ik het gewoon teksten te analyseren. Zeker op papier was het duidelijk dat dit pure manipulatie was en het bewustzijn groeide dat ik dat niet over mijn lippen kon krijgen.” (DM, 4/2/09) Goed bezig, die communicatiejongens van de nucleaire industrie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geheel toevallig vond de Nucleaire Afvalinstelling (NIRAS) het nodig om tegelijk een consultatie over het hoogradioactief afval te starten. BBL ontving een uitnodiging voor de eerste vergadering vandaag (4/2). Toch wel vreemd allemaal. NIRAS zit via Belgoprocess in het Nucleair Forum dat de burger probeert warm te maken voor kernenergie. En zij voelen zich geroepen om een neutrale consultatie over het afval te houden?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-5103949335515521165?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/5103949335515521165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/nucleaire-wanhoop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/5103949335515521165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/5103949335515521165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/nucleaire-wanhoop.html' title='Nucleaire Wanhoop'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-6380932245432417092</id><published>2009-02-02T22:57:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-02-02T23:01:30.998Z</updated><title type='text'>Vandaag was de Joodse gemeenschap boos</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZgFcQ7-IYs8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZgFcQ7-IYs8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vandaag kwam Claude Marinower zijn beklag doen in het &lt;a href="http://phara.canvas.be/"&gt;praatprogramma Phara&lt;/a&gt;, over een item in "het gesproken dagblad", een satirische rubriek in het human interest programma "Man bijt hond".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het is jammer dat Claude Marinower blijkbaar de essentie van humor niet begrijpt. In het filmpje waar de draak werd gestoken met de regelmatige verontwaardiging van de Joodse gemeenschap, lijkt me geen gevaar voor normenvervaging te schuilen. In tegendeel, het heeft zelfs iets heel bevrijdend.&lt;br /&gt;Zelfs al zou auteur Stijn Meuris de lichtgevoeligheid van de Joodse gemeenschap aan de kaak willen stellen, dan heeft hij dat naar mijn indruk met een treffend bewustzijn, stijl en subtiliteit weten neerzetten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satire, overdrijving en stereotiepen zijn stijlfiguren van humor. Het heeft temaken met goed vakmanschap: En dat hebben ze bij Man bijt Hond. Ze hebben humor die mensen in hun waarde laat en een ode brengt aan menslievendheid zowaar uitgevonden in België. Jammer dat dat niet zo gezien wordt door sommigen. Volgens mij is de kans op normenvervaging miniem. Groter is de kans dat de heer Marinower het beeld schetst dat Joden geen humor hebben, wat uiteraard ook het geval niet is.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-6380932245432417092?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/6380932245432417092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/vandaag-was-de-joodse-gemeenschap-boos.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6380932245432417092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/6380932245432417092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/02/vandaag-was-de-joodse-gemeenschap-boos.html' title='Vandaag was de Joodse gemeenschap boos'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-5328276343861036456</id><published>2009-01-30T00:07:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-01-30T00:20:24.404Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='triple bottom line'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mindfucks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='why &apos;cause new marketing&apos;?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wake up call'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cause new insights'/><title type='text'>Consuminderen versus vooruitgangsoptimisme</title><content type='html'>Deze week had ik drie keer een gelijkaardige discussie over duurzaamheid. Eén aan de toog, één aan telefoon, en één online.&lt;div&gt;Telkens met een ander persoon, en telkens in een andere context. Maar steeds ging het over plichtsbesef versus opportunisme, consuminderen versus consumanderen, temperen versus doorstarten in een transitie, of noem het dark-green versus blue-green.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of is er realiteit versus dromen? Vast staat dat er niet één 'duurzaam denken' meer is. Er zijn er vele. Dat zou het moeilijker kunnen maken, maar ook rijker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In een discussie die zich voordeed in de 'Cradle to Cradle group op linkedIN, deed zich de laatste discussie voor, waarin ik mezelf haast betrapte op pleitbezorgerschap van doorgedreven consumptie. Lees hieronder even mee. Benieuwd wat jullie stelling is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&amp;amp;key=23953461&amp;amp;authToken=RrQM&amp;amp;authType=name&amp;amp;goback=%2Ehom%2Eanh_76411%2Eana_76411_1233273607926_1"&gt;Joeri Verschaeve:&lt;/a&gt; ecologisch denken : het prille begin&lt;br /&gt;Enkele jaren geleden startte ik met enkele vrienden Krentenier op ( http://users.pandora.be/jove/Krentenier.htm ), een vereniging met een andere kijk op consumptie en een waarschuwing tegen verspilling en roekeloze overconsumptie. Destijds werden we met argusogen bekeken en zelfs uitgelachen en belachelijk gemaakt als een stelletje geitewollesokken en dromers die er alleen op uit waren de economie onderuit te halen. We konden moeilijk de mensen aan het verstand brengen dat we gewoon een andere aanpak van economie en consumptie trachten te bereiken, maar helaas....Krentenier is intussen ten ziele gegaan en enkele jaren later gonst de wereld van het eco-gedachtengoed....zelfs de meest notoire multinationals, die decennialang de duurzaamheid met voeten hebben getreden, staan nu vooraan met hun groene vlag te zwaaien als redders van de wereld....het kan verkeren...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(mijn antwoord)&lt;div&gt;Beste,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik vind het jammer dat ik krentenier nooit gekend heb, en da's mijn fout. Maar misschien (zoals de naam doet vermoeden) was krentenier opgevat vanuit een de donkergroene gedachte dat we moeten consuminderen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat je vandaag ziet is dat bedrijven het heil zoeken in een soort vooruitgangsoptimisme. Of noem het consumanderen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En dat vinden ze fijn uiteraard, want dan kunnen ze innoveren, zich onderscheiden en de kassa ringkelt door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De eerste 'sustainability wave' gebaseerd op consuminderen heeft slechts een marginaal effect gehad, want consuminderen is gewoon niet fijn. Je voelt je schuldig mens te zijn. Je zou je schuldig voelen geboren te zijn.&lt;br /&gt;Slechts een kleine minderheid mensen (die al overtuigde fanatici waren) werden bereikt met de gedachte van consuminderen. Dat is volgens mij omdat de mens jammer genoeg niet zo niet in elkaar zit. Je gaat nooit een kritische massa overtuigen om pakweg hun gsm en auto in te leveren, en daar heel blij mee te zijn. (probeer maar eens, pakweg zaterdagmiddag op de Meir ; - )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bovendien zit niet alleen de mens, maar heel de natuur zo niet in elkaar. Ecologie is gebaseerd op consumptie. Permanent eten en gegeten worden. Dat zie je op microbiologisch niveau, in ecosystemen allerlei, dat zie ik dagelijks in mijn aquarium (vissen zijn permanent aan het eten, of worden gegeten, algen groeien permanent door zich te voeden), dat zie ik in mijn wormenbak, dat zie ik bij mijn potplanten en in mijn groententuin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit is geen pleidooi voor ongebreidelde, zielloze inhaligheid, verbrassing, en decadentie (we zien momenteel in de financiële sektor wat dat heeft opgebracht), maar ik wil het graag naar voor brengen als inzicht dat het een tegennatuurlijke beweging zou zijn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het verschil is dat "afval" of "verspilling" in de natuur NIET bestaat. Wat wij als afval zien, is infeite "een grondstof die zich op de verkeerde plaats, of zich in de verkeerde vorm voordoet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afval is het resultaat van slecht design of slechte organisatie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De natuur heeft ieder stukje materie in de biosfeer door evolutie de juiste rol gegeven.&lt;br /&gt;Daar kunnen we ontzettend veel van leren. In verhouding tot ons verplaatst een wesp zich ontzettend snel, autonoom, in 3 dimensies met behoorlijke wendbaarheid en precisie, zonder ergens tegenaan te knallen en dus veilig, zonder kerosine, zonder ontploffingsmotor, zonder een stalen carosserie, enz...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De brandstof bestaat uit suiker (of confituur) en haar prestaties zijn het gevolg van "nagenoeg perfect design".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denk nu terug aan die file auto's waar we met zijn allen in zitten. Dan is er nog een lange weg te gaan. Dan dient er zich een totaal nieuwe ontwerpintentie aan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar wanneer wij als mensen dingen ontwerpen (pakweg een koffiepot) hebben wij enkel nagedacht over het direct nut voor ons zelf (koffie warm houden en uitschenken).

It reminds me of Joseph Jaffe's free chapter "&lt;a href="http://www.lifeafter30.com"&gt;fixing the agency mess"&lt;/a&gt;, of his well-known book "life after the 30-second spot". But besides that, I believe this is very useful and fresh material for smart and flexible agencies that are willing to keep pace with the post-mass-media-era.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.futurelab.net/?p=content&amp;amp;id=42&amp;amp;m_sid=29"&gt;You can download presentations and reports on the publication page of their website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-3099334845883444934?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/3099334845883444934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/01/bridging-brand-agency-devide.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/3099334845883444934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/3099334845883444934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/01/bridging-brand-agency-devide.html' title='Bridging the Brand-Agency Devide'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-1382211624260871285</id><published>2009-01-26T23:49:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-01-26T23:49:50.142Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy 2.0'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sustainable design'/><title type='text'>Welcome to Masdar</title><content type='html'>&lt;script src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=int&amp;vid=/video/international/2009/01/25/grant.uae.green.city.cnn" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;Embedded video from &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/video"&gt;CNN Video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8701017850233612779-1382211624260871285?l=cause-encounters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/feeds/1382211624260871285/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/01/welcome-to-masdar.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/1382211624260871285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8701017850233612779/posts/default/1382211624260871285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cause-encounters.blogspot.com/2009/01/welcome-to-masdar.html' title='Welcome to Masdar'/><author><name>Stefaan Vandist</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16182199134570592219</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wLCbp4N0ZWo/S_F--mXXQ1I/AAAAAAAAIKc/LU5zRegyHGM/S220/stef-trinity.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701017850233612779.post-6268715660848816705</id><published>2009-01-12T09:38:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-01-12T09:51:59.048Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consumers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eco-branding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communication strategy'/><title type='text'>The 10 Environmental worldviews</title><content type='html'>This is an interesting overview that maps the attitude towards the environment in 10 segments.

Waarnemers verwachten niet dat zwaarlijvige stocks in kledingzaken in de nakende koopjestijd snel zullen verdampen, zelfs niet aan ongeziene bodemprijzen. De zwarte doos die het menselijk handelen stuurt (of stoort) werkt in de regel bijzonder rechtlijnig en voorspelbaar in tijden waarin de toekomst zich financieel en economisch wankel toont. Mensen geven minder geld uit, behalve dan aan SMS-berichtjes en goede doelen. Je zou van dit 'genoopt' consuminderen verwachten dat het milieu er beter van wordt, maar dat blijkt buiten de waard gerekend. In plaats van theaters, filmzalen, cafés en restaurants te vullen, blijven we vaker thuis, worden woonruimten langer verwarmd en wordt de stroomvoorziening vaker aangesproken. Inmiddels blijven kookpitten in grootkeukens, warmtebronnen in theaterfoyers en beeldprojectoren in filmhuizen onveranderd op volle kracht draaien, of er nu voor tien of voor driehonderd man vermaak en smaak moet worden geleverd. Ogenschijnlijk vallen ook de overvolle parkings in de buurt van winkelcentra niet te rijmen met onze koopkracht in vrije val: we kopen niet per se minder, we geven gewoon minder geld uit en dus nemen we meer de tijd om aantrekkelijke spullen aan aantrekkelijke prijzen te zoeken ... Winkel in, winkel uit, auto in, auto uit, parking op, parking af! Gelukkig zijn de brandstofprijzen het laatste kwartaal met 35% gedaald, zo kunnen we nog wat verder tuffen, tot zelfs over de grens om er koopjes te doen... Meer groen dan de lach op het gezicht van eco-strijders levert dit in ieder geval niet op!&lt;br /&gt;De strijd tegen milieuverpestende auto’s wordt niet alleen meer door fundi’s gestreden, maar steeds meer door brede en brave civiele groepen, die hun ongenoegen graag op een onschuldige edoch trefzekere wijze laten blijken. Zo heb je in Griekenland de Street Panthers, die oranje zelfklevers uitdelen aan bewoners van rustige wijken rond winkelbuurten en shoppingcentra. De stickers dragen de schaamteloze boodschap “Ik ben een nietsnut. Ik parkeer mijn wagen waar het me goed uitkomt!” en worden geacht op de voorruiten van verkeerd geparkeerde wagens te worden gekleefd. Op vijf maanden tijd hebben naar verluidt een kwart miljoen plakstroken een doelwit getroffen. Ook in Toronto vorderen stedelingen onder de vlag van de ‘Urban Repair Squad’ hun straten opnieuw op door eigenhandig met spuitverf fietslanen aan te leggen. De Central City Neighborhood Partners maken het in Los Angeles nog bonter door op openbare parkeerhavens met wat potplanten, afgedankte meubeltjes en een draagbare espressomachine publieke ontmoetingsplaatsen te laten verrijzen. Er is absoluut geen sprake van burgerlijke ongehoorzaamheid: het parkeergeld wordt braaf betaald en iedere 180 minuten wordt het exterieur verplaatst naar een andere vrije parkeerplaats.
