- 8. YOU Are the Future of Marketing
Forrester CMO Mandate: Adapt or Perish:
“Three out of four CMOs plan to revamp their organizations for the digital age by the end of
2011. The reason? Their initial efforts to create digital departments and outsource digital
capabilities have left their organization in a state of disarray. . .
To truly transform the marketing department into a more agile and innovative
organization, CMOs must adopt these habits:
1) Accept change
2) Dare the status quo
3) Act continuously
4) Participate personally
5) Tear down boundaries
Leaders of Adaptive Marketing organizations will grow their business faster, build stronger
brands, and create a competitive advantage in both the short term and the long term.”

We live in a mobile-enabled, socially connected, real-time world. Where we all
have entrusted our friends, photos, music and resumes to the cloud.
