TRAINING | Exploring Archetypes
How they (and persuasion) drive perceptions and narrativeFrits Spangenberg [Motivaction International]; Roel Schoemaker [Motivaction International]; Sander Kluiters [Motivaction International]
Workshop overview:
Descartes, Kant and more specifically Carl Gustav Jung made the distinction between empirical and basic intellect. The distinction was made to better understand the complexity of human behaviour. Empirical intellect can be observed and measured, but the basic intellect does not visually exist, yet is present in all cultures, it changes slightly in interpretation over time and in its context.
The patterns are always there and play an often underestimated role in our personality development and decision making.
Today storytelling and developing Persona's has become popular in our industry, but the much more extensive usability of the archetypes is unknown and for that reason not popular among (qualitative) market researchers. Good quality storytelling and persona's all find their basis in these archetypes.
During this workshop, we will discuss how the 12 archetypes can and should be used by brands, companies but also by public personalities or politicians. Using examples and hands on exercises, we will illustrate how a strong archetype can give clear direction and consistency to business and social institutions.
We will also look at the subject of persuasion tactics. Archetypes and persuasion tactics are related. There are 17 persuasion tactics which can help brand, business and society to make a clear case and convince others of their thinking or product.
In this highly interactive session learn what archetypes and persuasion can mean to you, your clients and your business.

KEYNOTE | Why Ideas Matter More Than Ever
Alastair Donald [Institute of Ideas]
"The evidence shows..." has become an increasingly common term over recent years. Where political vision or moral conviction might once have been valued, today we seem to be drowning in evidence bases, statistics and spreadsheets. Big Data and behavioural economics are fashionable, while in the so-called post-truth society corporations, policy makers or public agencies seem ever more reluctant to take decisions or even make statements without citing ‘the evidence’ or ‘the science’. But as the dominant role of experts comes in for criticism, are there dangers of succumbing to a statistics led approach to the future? What is the place for ideas, debate, political engagement and contestation?

Deep Design to the Rescue
Solving wicked problems of the futureSharanya Sitaraman [Quantum Consumer Solutions]
We have harnessed technology and automation to reach the peak of solving for external problems, such as convenience and efficacy. Paradoxically, as the external world neatens, we have seen the rise of inner entropy, with an increased articulation of unhappiness, disillusionment, and disconnection. This chaotic modern narrative highlights the limited powers of the automated world, and the urgent need for a new design and way of thinking...
