Design a training and briefing approach that sustains competence in corporate brand and marketing leadership.
Building the Corporate Brand and Marketing Leadership
A senior-level treatment of corporate brand and marketing leadership, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in corporate brand and marketing leadership is earned separately. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on marketing leadership far more accurately than what their leaders announce. It is written for people who have to make this strand of organisational leadership work with the resources they already have. Organisations that document corporate brand and marketing leadership properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this aspect of organisational leadership has actually achieved. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in marketing leadership, not around theory headings. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of corporate brand and marketing leadership and supervised application. Improvement in marketing leadership stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within organisational leadership will be evidenced six months later.
