CBHR- HR on the Roads - Our First Initiative

Very recently I read about the nudge theory which impacts the behavior of Individuals . The theory in simple terms means "Small activities or triggers can influence behavior of individuals or collective group"For example a simple LED directional arrows in walking path can direct humans to walk in a straight line in a much crowded environment . This shall have significant impact in crowd management etc.

As founder of CBHR - Chennai Beyond HR - An initiative to take HR Beyond Organisations , an initiative  was taken for road discipline to make a statement that HRs can do beyond organisations and make small impacts.
The first meeting for this year was organised on 16-06-2018 and we had CBHR members participating in it. To know more about CBHR first meeting and details please visit CLICK HERE
As a first step we have launched this CAR stickers which shall be pasted on the cars of CBHR preferred members . As a leader I have pasted it in my car as below to initiate it .
In the last two days there has been a diffrence in my behavior and I am also able to see the difference in the behavior of vehicles which comes behind me. I am sure this is just a pilot and with more vehicles in Chennai having this sticker it will make a statment and govern self discipline and there by influence road discipline.
As I always say " If HRs can direct employees to the organisation's vision they are the best to direct the citizens to the nation's vision".Without knowing the science behind "nudging behaviors" i started this initiative and I am sure it shall slowly make some impact.
Lets keep nudging and moving....

Airtel TV commecial- A blend of Emotions and Benefits

The recent Airtel Commercial where a grandson meets his grandfather is a perfect blend of emotions and benefits. If we read the book “ Ogilvy On Advertising” written by David Ogilvy he says about the commercials which has above average performance in making customers shift brands. In that he lists commercials, which gives fun, testimonials, product usage, emotions etc have the capability to shift Brand preference. Generally emotions are used in cases where you can’t explain the benefit of a product like cigarettes, beer etc. Here in this new Airtel commercial the emotional distance between the grandson and grandfather is broken by the network coverage capability of the airtel network. If we closely watch, the grandfather’s residence will have a village set up which shows the network extension of Airtel to even villages. It also suits the Indian culture and current trends of Indian families where the modernization and lifestyle has lengthened the road of emotions but a parents mind a

Suicidal Branding

Over years we have seen Corporates talking more about Branding.I see three faces broadly here in an Organisation's growth Path. Stage One: Company in its Start up stage wants to differentiate itself from its competitors and give extremely good Service levels to its customers to kill competition.There is a continous focus on Innovation ,Value Addition etc.Most of the time size is also small and it is quite Manageable.In this phase most of the time branding evolves through automatic route merely through customers Word of Mouth(WoM).Most of the companies later dont realise it is this Fundamental "quality of Service-Innovation-Value addition " is the core of Branding. Stage two: The second Phase is when a company is in Matured/Post Growth state where it looks for Market Expansion.Now Company thinks about Branding investment because it understands that WoM Cant cut across geographies/industries effectively.Capitalising on the WoM and Branding Initiatives companies Grow More an

GLOBALISATION –REDEFINE YOUR MARKETING WORLD

It happened recently when I went to my uncle’s house in Chennai that his one year old daughter stopped crying when she listened to Jennifer Lopez and started dancing itself within the small arena built for it, the cradle. If I have to approve the definition for globalization in wikepedia I would say this is the perfect one. Yes, friends the impact of globalization is felt in each and every corner of this world but as a management student and more precisely a marketing student I was giving a thought is there this globalization has something to change with our traditional marketing views and concepts. I felt yes and it forced me to fill my pen once again. If I have to see globalization I would see it as “Dealing with Differences”.oh! That’s a great task for every marketer you know. Anything in this world is termed difficult when it has uncontrollable in it. These uncontrollable play a very important role and this makes a marketer to see globalization as a threat. The uncontrollable comes
