Core Competencies to Earn a Seat at the Table

In my last blog, I suggested that you must EARN your seat.  You must become a valued contributor to the overall discussion – one that lends both knowledge and insight to the conversation in a way that helps the C-Suite make the hard decisions. 

To do this, you need to understand how senior management thinks about company performance; know which specific results drive their success and thus their motivation; and tailor reporting and communications to reflect marketing’s true contributions and earn a “seat at the table.”

My blog readers will acquire a foundational understanding of:

•       How business leaders think strategically
•       “Red flags” that guide decision making
•       The critical role of marketing/advertising in business success
•       How to create and prioritize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are relevant to top executives
•       How to determine Return on Investment and Return on Objectives, and the difference between them
•       Marketing’s role in delivering Shareholder Value


We will accomplish this through a logical progression of the above core competencies.
