Steve Kemish, one of B2B Marketing’s own training facilitators, examines the key skills and specialisms that practitioners will require in their armoury to meet the obstacles ahead, and will provide practical guidance on how to broaden your expertise, or move outside your comfort zone, where necessary. This session will cover: How to evaluate your skillset and diagnose deficiencies Finding the right resources – plugging gaps in expertise Learning on the job – an iterative approach to professional development Ongoing evolution – planning for the future and making yourself marketable
