Amazon Business is not the future of B2B, or it shouldn't be. Innovation by B2B for B2B has hit a logjam because existing go-to-market frameworks are not aligned with the opportunities and challenges of the digital age Distribution is a neglected but massively essential B2B asset for established companies. Distribution is drifting towards the future without innovation frameworks that unify the traditional value chain while making room for collaborations with B2B minded platforms. Amazon Business will own the future of B2B if innovators at established companies do not define the future of distribution for themselves. This talk will explore the heart, soul, and future of distribution, with implications for manufacturers, distributors, digital startups, and technology vendors. Presentation from the October 2021 ISBM Members Meeting.
