Topic outline
Challenge your B2B insights
In the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, marketing – the link between businesses and their customers - is more relevant than ever, drawing on tried-and tested models and tactics, as well as showing resolve, resilience and agility to climb back and get ahead of ‘the next normal’. Business leaders are to re-architect their current customer models, approaches and tools.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Traditionally, marketing has been the business function that best understands the customer. More than ever, this is a major driver in meeting the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s business.
Customers expect innovative ideas that are relevant to their specific problems and that can offer measurable results. As a business leader today, how can you be relevant to your customer, and how do you design that customer journey? In view of the current economic situation, it’s vital to develop even deeper insight and seek foresight, to remain as relevant as possible.
The BIG FivePhilippe Gosseye highlights five pillars for the modern business leader and links each of those pillars to different chapters in his best-selling book The Extraverted Nerd II, which forms a backbone through these two days.
