ePatient 2009: Boomers in the Fourth Turning

Recently I had the honor of presenting at the inaugural ePatient 2009 conference. I have to say it was one of the best conferences I’ve been to in or out of Pharma. I was part of the “Pecha Kucha” session, so my deck is 20 slides and 20 seconds a slide, per the proscribed format.

I’m posting with my script so it makes some kind of sense. Thanks to Melissa Love, a talented RTCRM Art Director for the fabulous mood boards.

Everything is Connected

Everything is connected if you can see what's not being said, what's missing, and read between the lines. Understanding those connections not only makes us people, but better marketers. In the end, it's all about understanding how what you are doing is relevant to someone else.

My job is to understand those connections and be able to help you to not only be able to see them, but also use tthose connections to improve the world around you. Sometimes it's just why someone would care about your product. Sometimes its understanding how services like Twitter are help return a lost sense of community.

Either way, it's about making connections.
