Redscout presents SPUR Episode 2: Talent

By asking our interviewees what qualities they think make a good planner as well as what they look for in a new hire or colleague, we uncover what's changing in the demands of the role and how the so-called Rockstars are setting the bar high.

The validity of the title "planner" is under fire in a world where hybrids and tech specialists push the boundaries, but a common theme we (in the brand-driven innovation space as opposed to a more pure communications house) found especially interesting.

Gaining extra credit means literally DOING more today; seeing ideas through and making things happen. Planning and strategy cannot be thinking and information alone, perhaps we are best placed to articulate ideas and shepherd the process after all.
