Toward a New Framework for Innovating B2B (Mark Dancer)

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.

B2B Marketing Analytics Framework (Andrew Petersen)

Data-driven marketing decisions (including choices of which data analytics techniques to use and how) should be based on and address the following First Principles of Marketing, as foundational assumptions:  (1) All customers differ; (2) All customer change; (3) All competitors react; (4) All resources are limited. The First Principles Framework for marketing analytics provides a way to align each of  the four First Principles with a set of approaches, processes, and analysis tools that can deal with the unique issues associated with each principle. This will help firms with developing plans, budgets, and metrics as well as creating a sustainable competitive advantage into the future. Presentation from the October 2021 ISBM Members Meeting.
