What is your SEX sorry SEK !!

As they say 'Hidden is beautiful' and that seems to be the mantra driving marketers worldwide. Early in the morning was watching a short film titled ' Jab Naam Hoga , Tab Kaam Hoga' and while I was completely soaked in the style and content of storytelling I realized that it was also trying to talk about Asian Paints, in an extremely social and shuttle manner.

In my numerous conferences where I do keynotes or attend hearing marketing wizards like Harish Bizoor and Ambi Parmeshwaran, one common marketing theme or challenge is always discussed which is  to double guess the thinking process or behavioral pattern of an individual or individuals and accordingly lay down a treasure hunt leading to brand goals.

Visualizing oneself as someone who can lay down a Treasure Hunt is very stimulating because you can at every stage predict outcome and most importantly can place bets of what's going to happen next. This is a more integrated thought than thinking of FB , SEO , Google etc which are more of Knowledge devoid of Skills & Experience.

So what is your SEK ( Skills, Knowledge, Experience) and how does it map to your current profile as when you have a seamless blend of these 3 aspects Magic happens.

As a Business Transformation specialist with 17+ years of experience I tried doing a bit of soul searching on my SEK as well and sharing with you so that it can help you to do yours as well and do share once you have found yours as well....

Skills : Communication, Presentation, Problem Solving, Perception Building ( Attributed primarily to my upbringing and my sign of being a LEO :) )

Knowledge : Maths, Computer Science , Management ( Attributed primarily to my Graduation, MCA and MBA degrees)

Experience : Retail ( Attributed mainly to my consulting , technology and marketing exposure in this vertical for close to 10 years now)
