Great movements start with a shared purpose, and there is evidence that a movement is percolating in wholesale distribution. Leaders are rising to fight disruption by becoming innovators of business services.
This is the most important finding so far from Mark Dancer’s work as the lead researcher for the 12th edition of Facing the Forces of Change® to be published in late 2019. Distributors are going on offense, creating new customer experiences and reenergizing supplier partnerships. Much work lies ahead, but Mark’s work to-date has insights that distributors can act on today as they carve out a place for their business in the digital age.
On this webinar, Mark will brief leaders on key findings from our new Facing the Forces of Change® Challenge Paper. He will also share plans for collaborating with distributors as our research continues.
Distribution is fast approaching a dramatic shift: from competing as legacy incumbents, to winning as innovative and entrepreneurial businesses. The path for success is emerging, but we need help from distributors. Mark will conclude his session with several ways for distributors to participate in and learn from his ongoing work over the next year.
Joining Mark will be PROS Chief Visionary Officer, Craig Zawada, who will discuss with Mark the technology distributors are using today to extract actionable insights from data to make better, faster decisions maximizing revenue, deepening relationship with customers, and improving margin in the face of this digital shift.
Please join us for what promises to be an insightful session, and register to attend today.
