El poder disruptivo de las preguntas | Armando Toscano | TEDxUNAMAcatlán


[Music]

Good Morning

Well I’m Tuscan brother I love you

tell a couple of things the first thing would be

tell them that question changes everything

especially we change ourselves or

It has changed me because because

some years ago let’s say about 20 years

I was afraid to ask questions

I do not know why but let’s say

ask the question the questions

they were in my head but lifting the

hand to address someone and do the

question eventually I was provoked a

feeling of fear

however, on occasion someone

he told me that finally we should

think that the question smelled the fact of

ask is one of the first acts

creative people

if we see little children

all the time they go and ask a question

what is this about

how the other works and in itself the

question implies on the one hand an act of

discovery and on the other hand an act

of invention in the image that you

can see backwards is the image of

a book called be questions by

robledo pivot in the proposal of that

book is very interesting is how the

Children can ask questions

scientists and scientists

they force to ask themselves they oblige

answer them in a creative way and it’s

it’s a way he’s going

building the world I told them that I

It’s scary to ask questions

the funny thing is that in the end my work

current depends largely on doing

questions and ask questions because the

question I want to think is something that we

forces us to think forces us to consider

towards the future because as I would say milan

kundera dreaming things that have not

past those that sometimes we do not even know

even if it exists there could not exist

it’s really one of our

deeper needs and to achieve

get to imagine what is necessary to do

some questions

asking questions is telling them it’s an act

creative is a criticism is an act

creative because finally the

creativity starts with curiosity

the more questions we ask ourselves between

different in the questions is much more

likely to go thinking about how

new relationships can be given

there are no new circumstances

learning another person another

researcher who also makes literature

Carlos Chimal in some way ends

of writing recently or relatively a

little a book called after the

traces of science and the approach

it also becomes very interesting

because he compares researchers

with the artists in some way and something

that brings us science and art go

together science and art are two forms of

address on the one hand the way

pose to the future

the way to ask ourselves how they could

be different things and at the same

time and building it back to me

I was afraid to ask , however,

the process

I was realizing that it was not

to always ask the same question if not

it was about finding new

questions

all the time to be able to find

new relationships that eventually we

will carry different solutions

we currently live in an era that

they call the era of big data not him

indeed a transformation of the

conditions in which we live where

it is possible to track as much of

data in the last 30 years has been

nothing produced such an amount of data

great that probably goes over with

a lot three or four times all the

Previous history of humanity

however also this does not locate us

before those before the idea that

large volumes of information not

necessarily mean greater clarity

that is, sometimes receive great

information information that fans

for a place that encourages for another

eventually

it leads us more to confusion and even

to paralysis

I had a boss who said that sometimes

we suffered from paralysis by analysis

because because what happened was that we

we went by asking questions

the funny thing is that in the end in that

conversation we say good is that there

to ask questions to go

clarifying the data

I would say that actually

questions are not only the questions

we do out but the

questions we also ask ourselves

in because in an era where it dominates

the big data in some way what

we need is not more data or if not

we are more data but what we are

above all it is a better interpretation

of the information we receive clean

things get things out that eventually

they are not serving and we can do that

do only the expert before the

questions told them

in addition to big data what

we need is to say it of some

way is to have big game have good for

you mean having the ability to think

and feel the image they see behind is the

image a the image of a

public facility that they call the

cnri thinking oo something like that

because what it is really about is

of how can we ask ourselves questions that

not only come from the head but

that even come from the heart already

from here I want to tell you three

stories about how this applies

creating moments of disruption at least

moments of disruption in communication

in particular in advertising

the first of these stories is a

very old story is about a

auto a car that today is very well known is

very sold the jetta brand in 1999 what

they release a new version of yeta the

context is very important context

from that time you probably

many of you will be even just

plans or even plans on in the in

the life of Christmas was this

world and ye

something very interesting happened with the

jetta

a previous generation that had been

very successful there were few car brands

it is important to point out and jetta was one

of the vehicles that more attractive

generated then when they launch this

new version of yeta generates a

awesome attractive

however he is released with a version

of vehicles that was the most expensive

market that had a series of

characteristics that make it much more

sophisticated and then that generated a

reaction in the audience that I wanted

buy a jetta as rejection because

they said good is that I was

used to a certain price or

even diet as was one of the cars

most attractive was beginning to steal

continuously or even the insurance that

you pay for that car was the most

tall and then in different stories

we were recording that the

people do not stop talking of eta

how nice it was that you want to

buy it

but at the same time generates a kind

of rejection of a kind of sensation

of why why I’m going to

bought or dialogues between

people like the kind of how are you going to

buy a jetta they will steal you

they are going to lower me they are going to kidnap things and

it was was it was a very curious thing

let’s say the question in this case the

we did ask a question

more towards us we said good what

happens with people who despite not

he wants the vehicle or he says he does not

he wants the vehicle he kept talking

from you and me that reminded me of the time

high school, not when I saw my

companions and they said there is the guy

that is awful today is a co

hear what’s going on with that and then at

final said good as it reminds me

that what sometimes you do not stop thinking

although you reject them

it’s something that he brings in his head is not what

that finally through the question

the question was how is it possible that

people do not stop talking about the car if it says

they do not want it or and from there it was done

a campaign was a campaign very

successful for for this vehicle

let’s see if we can see it

what’s wrong with you but now I do not want that

light that burns us racionero little of

mother and teacher in the morning assured

not just as a model of more boxes

solid and so easy every year

probably many of you study

communication and they know that what is done

is a brief the brief for this campaign

it was this you have to tell people that

be fooled because actually

what he wants is a jetta not then

interesting the jump the jump

creative and they are fixed from the own

question from the fact of saying by

what happens to this the people already of

there you begin to glimpse the

creativity does not mean that we had

the answer the only thing that means is

that we were not asking a question

I was carrying a solution

years later in another experience the

working for another car brand in

another completely different context in

a context let’s say already 2007 ago where

the explosion in the in the options of

vehicles was completely different

happen we passed from that time when in

that after the announcement of eta is more

increases plus or minus 99 2000 had

about 25 car brands

competing in the market

good for 2007 we are talking about that

there were probably 150 brands

today there must be 250 competing in the

market no different brands

vehicles and toyota arrives in mexico

arrives in Mexico with a vehicle that

it is very interesting is the vehicle

corolla and they arrive doing

advertising saying is the car more

sold of the world and we say

Well, who is going to want a car more?

sold of the world that can have the

car that they want oy

differentiate yourself from the rest of the world

then we went to ask with

different people and we find ourselves by

there is a story of a lady who

I used to work as a controller as

accountant in a

a very large company was a part one

lady who would have around 50

years and said good I bought myself this

jet this corollary I bought it with my

savings is my second car but also

this study I need to have a car that

do not fail me because sometimes it’s my turn to

the end of the month ended very late and

I can afford to have the car leave me

Lying on the street

then we say good and it will not be or not

I know we should not think that

people prefer to have the car more

sold of the world get the car more

trusted the world and popped

this advertising we make it clear that

how did he know what happened to him

night

the pact is 30

Venezuela and Bolivia have grabbing

flight and there I did not let go and I could not

one of the things that become

hilarious to work advertising is

this to ask questions and realize

that things are changing the year

gone working now for a brand

of chewing gums we realize

they had a big problem the problem

is that the dwarves had grown

had come a competitor who had

a product that looked better than

it seemed bigger than it looks like and

that effect of looking bigger

generated like the impression that

the flavor lasted longer than the brand

I’m talking style and I made a

great effort to reformulate the

product to change the size for

offer a greater grammage and we say good

how are we going to communicate this we say

good the question wants

how can we do that could be more

interesting for people

the size of a chewing gum

it does not really matter and it all depends

the context is not actually as

the size may be more important

because when all else are reduced or

we say good that it reduces the space in

the minibus reduces the space in the

meter is sometimes reduced the salary is

reduce my time we told them in a

world a little the answer that

we find is in a world where everything

makes it smaller

If there is something that can be done more

big no

everything is done as a boy gets older

[Music]

I brought these stories to you simply

to share something that you have learned to

throughout losing the fear of

questions and especially to realize

that the questions have this

possibility of changing the reality not of

change the conditions in which in

which we can operate very applied

very applied advertising on issues of

communication

however I think there are three truth

is that I learned around the

questions the first one is that it is

important to resort to data but not

only one type of data must be used

many that’s because if for example

we only resort to data

statistics can happen to us what

says this former football coach not

the statistics are like

miniskirts give you good ideas but they go

to hide what is important in a world of

big data saying the different way in

a world of big data where all the

thought becomes statistical

mathematical somehow you have to

think beyond that you have to think

with the heart and you have to feel with the

head the second learning that to me

This has left me this process is that

how would you say

this thinker this former directors

founder of a large agency of

advertising

the bareback said that in the end the

knowledge and with knowledge referred

the information will be available

for anyone

today thanks to technologies we have

access to a lot of information all

the time

it’s more all of us can have

practically the same information

about different things in a way

simultaneous

however pass on the information or

to move from knowledge to an idea is

a quality of each one of us and

then that implies that we are capable

to make us inwards also

good questions and finally the

third the third learning this the

really do not even know where I

I heard but I think

interesting and at the end a question or

the correct question can change the

destination

I start to think that there are those

who are thinking if it would be possible

life on Mars there there is a one

possibility of asking a question that

maybe lead to original answers

for the future of humanity

well this is what I had for

share thank you very much and do

many questions
