Jennifer Foster 💜’s Post

I had the pleasure of contributing to Richard Bistrong and Caroline Stokes, CEC's Harvard Business Review article on how to attend industry events and avoid compliance and fair-competition pitfalls. When building collective action initiatives, it is important to engage with peers on industry challenges to find common grounds and solutions. However, it is also important that every employee keeps to the wider rules that apply. Sometimes the fear of anti-trust risks gets in the way of important industry collaboration. Education and training are important parts of enabling ethical and legally correct areas for industry engagement. https://lnkd.in/d8-3Xwwy

We very much look forward to welcoming Renewd’s UK leader members to our next F2F roundtable + breakfast which will be held in central London on 12th February. The theme for this session is “Metrics that Matter” and will feature guest speakers Adriana Menezes Whiteley from FT Strategies and Carola York from Financial Times, followed by roundtable discussions. Defining and measuring recurring revenue streams is critical to building a defensible business, as it ensures long-term financial stability and makes the business more attractive to investors. This members-only roundtable will cover the following: ✅ Introduction to the FT North Star framework – focused on ensuring business goals lead to tangible results and true organisational change. ✅ Case Study: hear about how this framework has been applied in FT Specialist where a common language has been introduced around metrics that matter. ✅ Individual roundtable discussions will explore what Renewd members are doing in their organisations when it comes to defining and measuring recurring revenues – where success has been achieved, where they’ve failed, barriers encountered and how these have been/can be overcome. As always there will be plenty of networking and shared peer learning. If you’re interested in becoming a leader member and joining this community please contact sue@renewd.net – we’d love to meet you.
