The chief marketing officer at a big company has an impossible job. The typical duration of a CMO is 18 months because once the CEO realizes that hype for money can’t solve their problems, they get restless. The problem lies in what people think “marketing” is. Marketing isn’t paying for ads, changing the logo or building a social media presence. Marketing is product design, [...]

Business owners: you can make your Controller a contributor to the success of your business During my consultations with business leaders, I am often struck by the restrictions they have placed on their Controllers because of management’s limited expectations of this finance role. For this purpose, I am using the title Controller generically, to reflect any role that is the head of the [...]
Most presidents and executive management I work with are, quite rightly, focused on the big picture. When working with these clients, I am often struck by the aspects of their personal work habits that are a huge determinant of their productivity and value.

Imagine your friend is in a stadium full of people (you don't have a phone to call to each other - yes, I said imagine!) and you need to connect to sit in the same place. When you arrive to [...]

There was a time that businesses could operate successfully on a whim. Without data or knowledge. Just put out a product or service and people will buy. No strategy. No plan. No understanding of what was happening around them. Ohhh, those were the days.... Or were they? Those days feel so long ago that most of us old enough have already forgotten about them. And the younger generation[...]
Conversely, what good is the balloon without hot air? It’s a lot like your people if they can’t or won’t implement an organization’s strategy?
