Editor's Notes

  1. In reality, most companies struggle to get past the MO 1.0 stage because people aren’t equipped with the tools and resources they need to optimally learn, grow and evolve. To address this gap, leaders in more mature Marketing Operations organizations have begun to incorporate skill-building, career-pathing, and competency and professional development initiatives, into their plans.   Besides the big-picture, holistic framework, the second area the Future Forum really excels at is helping individuals and organizations bridge learning and competency gaps. While other self-help and discovery resources cater to prolific readers (white papers, reports), debaters (Q & A forums like Focus and Quora) and watchers (one-way presentations via PPT, webcasts or video), the Future Forum appeals to every learning style, even individuals who prefer a hands-on experience that stimulates multiple senses. This is an important part of socializing proposed marketing change initiatives at all levels across a company, and spurring buy-in and follow-through. The Future Forum’s experiential, multi-sensory discovery environment enables marketers to move from merely understanding a new concept or insight to actually absorbing – or internalizing – it, then applying it immediately to practical need, adopting new ways of thinking and doing, and achieving new levels of effectiveness.
  2. The Future Forum is based on 6 Marketing Operations Centers of Excellence that promote greater marketing agility, alignment and accountability, and ultimately continuous marketing effectiveness: Buying process acceleration involves aligning with customers, sales and across campaigns while optimizing close ratios. Strategy execution integrates shared vision and planning with stakeholder alignment and marketing governance. Marketing scalability addresses competency development, processes, automation and best practices replication. Return on marketing comprises performance management, predictable, actionable metrics, prioritizing strategies and holistic dashboards. Business intelligence includes data integration, predicative analytics, organizational learning and knowledge management. Customer profitability spurs customer lifetime value, living the brand promise, enterprise-wide alignment to customers and customer experience innovation. The Future Forum enables executives to explore these MO centers of excellence through a common language, integrating models and frameworks, and a certification path that promotes both individual and team competency and enterprise-wide socialization and buy-in.
  3. A framework helps provide focus and is instrumental to socialize new concepts, such as Marketing Operations. Marketing Operations Partners’ Best Practice framework provides a clear vision of what Marketing Operations can be and how it can most optimally contribute to achieving enterprise objectives. The model starts with enterprise strategy to which marketing strategy must be aligned. From strategy comes guidance, including business intelligence/knowledge, vision, mission, values, charter, norms, policies, procedures, best practices and so on. Guidance is key to developing process, from which metrics can be developed. Everything is supported by technology. Process, technology and metrics comprise the infrastructure management components while strategy and guidance enable alignment of the ecosystem in which MO operates.
