Al trabajar con recursos limitados, ¿cómo puedes motivar a tu equipo para innovar más allá de la norma?

Encourage your team to see constraints as opportunities for creativity by framing challenges as chances to think outside the box. Foster a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives are valued and experimentation is celebrated, even if it leads to unexpected outcomes.

So much creativity does not need a budget! Often, with collaboration, you and your teams can come up with new and better ideas. Find a theme and base your engagement around that. Find a new voice and let them encourage other new voices. If you can challenge yourself to come with new angles, the engagement tends to follow...just to see what you'll come up with next!

Hay una frase que me encanta que dice "Hacer marketing con plata es fácil". Lo interesante y justamente lo desafiante, es aceptar las limitaciones de presupuesto, tiempos, estructura, etc y trabajar con ellos. Creeme que no hay nada mas motivante que lograr MUCHO con poco. Al menos los que vivimos en países como el mio (Argentina) estamos acostimbrados y eso nos hace tener un ejercicio increíble para adaptarnos a todo tipo de proyectos, campañas y marcas.

Be honest with your team, tell them what’s what. Ask them for their ideas, and encourage their creativity. If you have complete buy in from everyone. The outcome will be positive regardless of the budget.

Leading by example, show them that you are in the trenches with them, and that you've been there before and lived. Also making the challenge not seem as daunting. There is a way to break it down so the team is not solely focused how much work it takes to get there. Focus on what is right in front of you. And have fun. Seriously, laugh your way through it where you can. Don't wait for that "someday we'll look back and laugh at this" trope. laugh at it now.

Scarcity helps in collaboration, Leadership takes an important role here Team need to be brought with Case Studies which gives a confidence that if someone in past have some they can do it even a notch better. Other way is also to share other side of the story that what comes in for them when we would over pass this scarcity. Third as leader leading by example i.e working in scarcity by himself would further boost confidence of the team

My approach to motivating a team with limited resources centers on creating a culture of creativity and collaboration. By jumping into the challenges faced by each team member, I craft appreciation messages that highlight their contributions. This fosters a sense of purpose and motivation. Celebrating small wins and recognizing their efforts can boost morale and encourage continued innovation without getting demotivated.

Encourage cross-functional collaboration to bring diverse perspectives together, which can spark new ideas. By promoting a culture of collaboration in limited resources in diverse perspectives and skills to work together, you create an environment where unique and brilliant ideas can emerge from any member. This inclusive approach not only fosters creativity but also empowers your team to contribute and inspire your team to achieve more with less.

When resources are limited it is always important to play off one another's strengths. Creating an environment where you foster collaboration, you will help cover the shortfalls of each person and help fill the gaps that there might be.

My view about experimentation is to drive a mindset of not getting attached to your pet projects. Projects come and go, and to get attached and agonize over something that has a high chance of being fleeting, kills the joy of doing experiments.

Encouraging experimentation is key to driving innovation, especially when resources are limited. When the team is empowered to test new ideas without fear of failure, they are more likely to discover creative solutions that push boundaries. Small-scale experiments can lead to unexpected breakthroughs, helping the team to maximize the use of available resources. This approach fosters a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement, where every challenge is an opportunity to explore new possibilities and innovate beyond the norm.

Limited resources shouldn't come with a limited mindset. Experimentation helps with generating the data you need to multiply your results. From a marketing perspective, fear of failure is damaging to creativity. Running a variety of thoughtful A/B tests, being comfortable with discomfort, and moving quickly onto the next strategic play are all ways to generate the results. Build upon the data you're gathering.

Experimentation is essential for innovation. I have learned that if we plan experiments carefully with clear goals, it helps us not be afraid of mistakes. Learning from what works and what doesn’t can help us grow and improve.

Experimenting creates learning opportunities to discover what works and what does not. Brands don’t get better without evolution and you can’t grow without being comfortable questioning the norm and assuming some sort of creative risk. Trial and error teaches and informs. Learn from what bombs, celebrate the creative wins, and extract the creative gold found in the data.

These are my learnings from leading a 10+ member team of creative strategists for over 3 years: 1. It’s important for the team to be seen and heard and that comes from acknowledgment. Small efforts lead to big results and it all starts with empowering your team to take complete ownership of all aspects of a project. 2. If a person has played a crucial role and has gone above and beyond their scope of work, they need to be acknowledged for their efforts, irrespective of the outcome. 3. It would also be hugely effective if a complete de-briefing session with the team were organised that enables the exhange of shared learnings for future projects.

Showing appreciation for your team's hard work and ideas is really important to keep everyone motivated. It's not just about big wins, but also about recognizing when people try their best. This helps everyone feel valued and keeps them excited about coming up with new ideas.

Play hard work hard, but also play together work together, have fun together, cry together, celebrate, and mourn together. Key is together or sharing. Inequalities will ruin the community so involve and make people understand why things happen. Find common and individual goals to embrace growth.

Everyone deserves to be recognized for their individual strengths. By recognizing strengths, celebrating them, and providing a foundation for teammates to use these strengths even deeper, you can show that person that motivation comes from within and all the necessary tools are already on their tool belt.

The resource that limits innovation is fire: no 'fire in the belly'. The right people, provided with the right care and respect will be energised by their work. That's where you get creativity, which is where you get innovation.

1. Stating the obvious here - try to see things from the customer’s perspective. True innovation often lies hidden here - in plain sight 2. Encourage creative freedom - Let your team experiment and make decisions on the fly. The trick isn’t to avoid failure but to fail in new and low-cost ways. These small experiments can lead to big discoveries 3. Tap into yoyr network’s collective genius - Push your team to leverage external contacts - business partners, customers, agencies etc. Outside-in perspectives can make all the difference

1. Trust Strengthens Team Spirit: By giving the team the freedom to manage projects independently, we foster trust and motivation. Everyone feels that their contribution matters. 2. Promote Self-Confidence: Empowering team members to make their own decisions boosts self-confidence and encourages personal growth. Employees learn to take responsibility and tackle challenges. 3. Overcoming Limits Together: In times of limited resources, our true strength is revealed. Together, we find innovative solutions and grow as a team, surpassing our own limits.

Providing autonomy can significantly boost motivation and innovation. When team members are trusted to manage projects and make decisions within a structured framework, they gain a sense of ownership. This freedom encourages deeper engagement and fosters creative solutions, especially when navigating resource constraints.

Ser líder é como ensinar a andar de bicicleta sem rodinhas...e quando você soltar a mão e deixá-los andar por si só, terá uma bela vista! Quando confiamos nos nossos colegas profissionais e no que eles se propõem a fazer, o resultado é como ver várias faces do sucesso. Mude seu POV, let it go!

Use your free resources called: Strong words, Relevance, Ideation and Excellent execution. When budgets are big most professionals can make a splash. When they are not, that is when the creative and gutsy players get a chance to step up and shine! I have many times worked up an organizations up from scratch - some more successful than others - and that is when resources are limited, no team, no budget... just you, yourself and a head full of ideas to validate. It is not for everyone, but this can be a lot of fun and imagine the feeling of accomplishment when on a dime you make an organization famous!

Learning doesn't always come from something new, but it will always come from review. It is easy to skip past this step when a project has constraints because the simple response is "if we had this, it would have turned out better." Review each project within the same constraints, and you will learn to work even better when the constraints inevitably come into play again.

Support a culture of continuous learning to keep your team engaged and energized. Encourage self-directed learning in various subjects, beyond their usual expertise. Provide access to online courses, workshops, and industry events. Promote an outside-in mindset by exploring trends and best practices from other industries. This broadens perspectives and sparks new ideas. Balance formal and informal learning to keep engagement high. Investing in their growth keeps the team inspired and innovative. Continuous learning fuels creativity and sustains long-term productivity. Start fostering a learning culture, and watch your team's creativity and innovation soar.

When you're working with a tight budget, you know there aren't going to be any bonuses for your hard work (and so does your team leader). So the best thing to do is to make sure you learn something out of it. It can be a case study, audience derivation or a tactic but add something to your team that will be more valuable than money. A good example of this was when a team leader showed us the pros and cons of hiring a celebrity for brand endorsement. Something that I have always kept in mind as I went further up in my career.
