| | rantnrave:// You're a television company and looking to set yourself up for the future. What questions do you ask? If you had no rules. If you were to create your business from scratch and not be beholden to legacy constituencies. What would you do? How does the user experience of television need to change? How do we get MVPDs to concentrate on building a next-gen experience, ad targeting and sharing user data? How do we deal with and respond to binge viewing? Why do we only create 30- and 60-minute formats? What is your direct-to-consumer OTT strategy? What is your discovery strategy? Promotion? Do you continue to license to NETFLIX and AMAZON or keep your weapons for your own stockade? Or both? How do you extract additional revenue from your most passionate fans? What is your data strategy? Do your executives have the skills and background required to navigate the ever-changing media environment? Do you have a real strategy or just financial targets? Are you hiring young enough? How hungry is your team? How long ago did you implement your most radical and risky distribution and monetization strategy? Are you prepared to compete with companies that aren't afraid to fail? How do our own interests align with those of creators and audiences? Do we need to have a brand focused on youth demos? Where and how do you experiment? Do you have futurists and product people? Do your product, sales, and marketing people sit in on cable negotiations? Do your executives constantly review technologies and platforms that are disrupting your business and try to utilize the positive consumer benefits? Should TV EVERYWHERE be on FACEBOOK or TWITTER? How do the media consumption habits of your executives differ from your audience? Who will be THE YOUNG POPE in your org? The one to shock your team into uncomfortable change? And on and on and on... Where are you finding happiness and laughter each day?... "Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion in the senate..." If I give you the ball and you're not advancing the ball give me back the ball...
