Here is a super simple structure you could use. Reflect on 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 (as in a year ago) and 𝐍𝐎𝐖. Everything in between 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 and 𝐍𝐎𝐖 is 𝐇𝐎𝐖. That is the bit to focus on once you described 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 and 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞. 𝐇𝐎𝐖 is your role in it. 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 : - Reflect on where you were a year ago?  - What was the business like? - How efficient and collaborative was the team, communication? - Were there clear processes in place?  - What did the relationships look like?

Bravo, Marks and Spencer, leading the way in what should be something obvious. You can’t lead from the top, if you’re never spending time further down the chain - understanding the customer focused hands on experience. This is where the learning happens, and key element to understanding any business. If you’ve had a marketing review with me recently, you’ll understand why we spend so much time understanding your customers and why it’s instrumental in making your business a success! Being at the forefront is imparative.

I had the opportunity to dive into War in the Boardroom this week, and it offered some fascinating insights. What sets this book apart is its strong advocacy for marketing, a discipline that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves from executives focused on metrics and efficiency. One particular example from the book that resonated with me involves a well-known car company (I won’t spoil the name here). It prompted a crucial question: why should someone choose to buy a car from this company? When I found myself unable to answer immediately, it made me pause and reconsider the power of branding. The book presents a compelling argument for branding as a key differentiator, using numerous case studies to illustrate the points. The quote “Starbucks coffee tastes better because the consumer thinks Starbucks coffee tastes better” really struck me. It underscores the importance of perception and how strong branding can shape consumer attitudes. The book also highlights the significance of focus in market offerings and maintaining a brand’s premium status. While it’s easy to back up arguments with historical examples, the real challenge lies in determining the right strategy moving forward. War in the Boardroom effectively challenges us to think critically—a crucial skill in today’s fast-paced business environment. #Marketing #Branding #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #Innovation #CriticalThinking #BrandManagement #MarketDifferentiation
