Market Driving Strategies

Who is it for?


General managers and senior marketing practitioners who want to learn more about how they can develop innovative marketing strategies to drive their company and their industry forward.

Programme overview


Market driving companies use radical innovation to change industry rules, by educating customers about their offering, they can transform market place behaviour and gain competitive advantage.

Moving beyond the current strategic logic of market driven companies, such as "the customer is king" and "relationship marketing", this programme is about re-invigorating strategic marketing thinking. Participants will examine how marketing innovation can be used to develop market driven strategies that deliver a leap in customer value.

The prgramme covers three core themes:

  • identifying overlooked customer needs
  • reinventing the marketing mix
  • delivering a leap in customer value

Using case studies and group discussions, participants re-evaluate the way they approach their customers and markets.  They discover how they can redefine expectations by creating innovative solutions that seize advantage.
