Leading companies producing complex and innovative cyber-physical products follow a three-phased process.
The three key components of a customer-obsessed growth engine are creating buyer value, aligning marketing, sales, and product teams, and leveraging technology.
Although short-term projects can generate crucial product and process innovations, their organization requires careful consideration by B2B firms.
Increasing the voice of customer training that market-facing organization members receive can prove a critical precursor to new product organic growth.
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.

As firms face disruptive events in the marketplace, they must be prepared to adapt. Oftentimes, adapting necessitates a “pivot” in how firms operate across multiple dimensions.
As B2B firms increasingly become service-dominant in hopes of building lasting customer relationships, it becomes imperative to determine if the resources and expertise needed to implement B2B service innovations also create increased risk for B2B firms. The differences between customer and business markets find that the impact of service innovations varies across B2B and B2C domains.
What distinguishes growth leaders from growth laggards? In this interview, George Day and Gregory P. Shea discuss how organically growing firms successfully attract, nurture, and retain innovation talent. The commitment to innovation is ingrained in a firm’s culture and organizational structures and processes. Innovation talent is drawn to organizations with these characteristics.
The pandemic has emphasized the importance of governments to work with the latest innovations and technologies available. Fighting COVID-19 requires data-derived insights and advanced technology to allow quick response to ever-changing conditions. For many government agencies – in the US and elsewhere – shortcomings have come painfully into view. Many countries have responded to the need for modernization by channeling aid packages and funds to government telework, telehealth, cybersecurity and network bandwidth projects.
