Pricing has always been the focal point of any discussion, we all love to discuss what a product should be priced at and make judgments based on pricing.
Roles have broadened in the past five years, leaving marketers with a wide spectrum of responsibilities. Learn more in this year's CMO Survey: http://cmo.deloitte.com/xc/en/pages/solutions/cmosurvey.html?id=us:2sm:3ss:cmosurvey:eng:cons:082516
Powerful marketing departments can influence a firm’s financial management decisions. When there is a Marketing CEO and the firm has power over its customers, increasing marketing department power decreases the likelihood of myopic marketing spending and myopic revenue management; increasing marketing department power and analyst coverage decreases the likelihood of myopic marketing spending.
Industry practice has demonstrated that big data opportunities are enormous, but there is a need to (a) reconcile academic ‘big stats on small data’ with practitioner ‘small stats on big data’ and (b) combine deep learning methods with statistical modeling and theory-based models to establish causal effects. Privacy and security concerns will limit collection/retention of data. So there is a need to focus on the development of analytics for anonymized and minimized data and proactive development of methods for protection of customer privacy.

Everything you want to know about sales growth but are afraid to askMcKinseyandCompany
Four secrets of sales leaders determine how effective they will be: selling the way customers want to buy; digital sales; make building smart analytics the norm; and bring together an A-team. From 2016 Dreamforce presentation by McKinsey's Lareina Yee and Maria Valdivieso de Uster.
In recent years loyalty programs that reward buyers for sticking with the brand have steadily grown in popularity. Between 2008 and 2012, U.S. loyalty memberships increased by 10 percent per year – reaching over 23 memberships per household. But for all their growth and popularity, do loyalty programs really pay off for the companies that offer them? A recent McKinsey study suggests that on average, they do not – and may in fact destroy value for program owners. For more on loyalty, visit: http://www.mckinseyonmarketingandsales.com/topics/loyalty

New research from Accenture Strategy found that 62 percent of consumers globally prefer to buy from companies that stand for a shared purpose that reflects their personal values—and are ditching those that don’t. The study found that companies that stand for something bigger than what they sell are more likely to attract consumers, influence purchasing decisions, and improve competitiveness.

SiriusDecisions Sales Content Secrets - Aligning to Customer Needs and Challe...Alinean, Inc.
The importance of sales content remains strong, with 79% of b-to-b buyers reporting that the content provided by a rep is very to extremely influential in their selection of one vendor over another
New research results from SiriusDecisions reveal the significance of Sales Content to winning more business, revealed by Heather Cole, Services Director of Sales Enablement with SiriusDecisions, in a compelling webcast interview with Alinean’s own Tom Pisello.
In the session, Heather indicated that more sales content than anticipated was being leveraged by sales reps throughout each stage of the buyer’s journey, with the research tallying an average of 6.3 pieces delivered to buyers in the Education phase, 6.1 in Solution, and 4.9 in Selection,
But more content does not guarantee accelerated decisions, greater deal size or more wins. The research quantified for the first time that all content is not created equal, with a decided difference in the assets used more often by the highest performing sales reps compared to low performers and middlers. Most importantly, the research uncovered and ranked content as to perceived value to buyers.
Interpreting the results, Heather Cole exposed how today’s B2B buyer isn’t valuing product videos and glossy brochures as high as one might think. Rather, decision makers want relevant insights and transformative advice, perceiving 3rd party research and articles as most valuable, as well as valuing solid ideas and proposals based on identified needs.

The financial volatility unleashed by the
pandemic has opened the doors of opportunity
for Banking and Financial Services (BFS)
companies. Technology-driven digital
transformation is expected to drive further shifts
in this new normal.
The industry will witness the adoption of
innovative technologies driven by emerging
trends. BFS organizations will increasingly
undertake digital transformation to broaden
their capabilities, and maturing FinTechs will
forge partnerships that drive disruptive growth
and customer-focused innovation.
Here, we explore some trends that will shape
the future of the BFS industry
The most prevalent trend in today’s
financial services industry is the shift to
digital, specifically mobile and online
banking. In the era of unprecedented
convenience and speed, consumers don’t
want to trek to a physical bank branch to
handle their transactions. While on the one
hand, banks are releasing new features to
attract more customers and retain the
existing ones, on the other hand, startups
and neo banks with disruptive banking
technologies are breaking into the scene.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the
banking industry can revolutionize the way
banks operate and provide services to
their customers, improving eciency,
productivity, and customer experience.
In the age of disruption, manufacturers need to
constantly find innovative ways to overcome challenges
like data sitting in silos, downtime (which could be
prevented), rigid production and labor shortage issues.
Companies need to listen to their operators and
technicians and enable them to have a say in the
day-to-day processes. Issues like being unable to find a
product/part on the floor lead to unnecessary delays,
miscommunication, and dissatisfaction among workers
The banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI)
sector has been at the forefront of adopting AI and
machine learning technologies. AI has enabled these
industries to automate processes, reduce costs, and
improve the customer experience. With the advent of
digitization and the increasing amount of data available,
banking, financial services, and insurance companies have
been leaders in using AI and machine learning.
Metaverse has become ae buzzword in the tech industry. Not a single day goes by without a mention of it
in the media, especially around investments, startups building components, new platforms being
announced and large companies entering this world of digital engagement. There is undeniably a huge momentum of an almost real 3D virtual world, and the clarion call was perhaps Facebook rebranding itself
as Meta which will perhaps be remembered as a red letter moment in the evolution of the Metaverse.
Content is one of the most commonly consumed resources in online marketplace. Still,
most organizations struggle to effectively monetize it. Inability to implement viable
and scalable monetization methods not only keeps organizations from discovering
growth opportunities, but can also lead to poor customer experiences.
Digitalization has transformed the way business’s function. With the evolution of technologies, attackers are also evolving. They are finding innovative and more invasive ways to attack organizations. Due to this, the organization's security operations center (SOC) is expected to be
more agile and dynamic in detecting and responding to attacks. Most organizations' security operations and incident response teams are overworked due to high volumes of security threats and alerts that they need to manage every day.
Cloud technology is no longer a new player in the market,
but it’s a mature and integral part of the IT landscape and a
key parameter in driving business growth. It is an
indispensable topic among CXOs. A research by Fraedon has
found that almost half of the banks find their legacy
systems to be the biggest hindrance in their growth.
Client is the leader in work orchestration and observability. Software platform helps enterprises more effectively plan, orchestrate and audit the human and automated activities that drive critical events, such as technology releases, resilience testing, operational readiness and major incident recovery.
A Robust Privileged Access Management (PAM) forms the
cornerstone of an enterprise cybersecurity strategy, providing greater visibility and audibility of an organization's
overall credentials and privileges.
The global disruption due to the pandemic has massively impacted organizations and the way they function.
Organizations are shifting towards a virtual environment by adopting cloud and automation to support,
monitor, and deploy exceptional service to their end-users. But how to keep the end-users connected to the
digital workplace securely during disruption is a big challenge
Let us understand some of the infrastructural and
security challenges that every organization faces today
before delving into the concept of securing the cloud
data lake platform. Though Data lakes provide scalability,
agility, and cost-effective features, it possesses a unique
infrastructure and security challenges.
European government in 2016 adopted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and was
put into effect on May 25, 2018, replacing the 1995’s Data Protection Directive to protect the
personal information of EU citizens. GDPR aims to govern personal data processing and ensure
processing is fair and lawful. It is also designed to emphasize the fundamental right to privacy.

The Retail industry today is dealing with the concerning challenge of rising costs of transportation,
driven by a shortage of trucks and truck drivers, availability of raw material and unprecedented
demand spikes across categories. Retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond have recently warned investors
about the impact of rising freight costs on earnings. As overall freight costs can constitute up to
10% of total expenditure, efficiency in freight invoice management is critical to managing
transportation budgets
The freight ecosystem is vast and complex with many interconnected functions starting from sourcing, manufacturing to bringing products to the consumer. Any organization dealing with
movement or purchase of freight (goods) needs a control mechanism to ensure accuracy of dealing with freight invoices received from carriers.
Tool Integration is an effective technique of integrating tools of the same or different classes to build a robust tool framework to support various business operations.

2. Pricing has always been the focal point of any discussion, we
all love to discuss what a product should be priced at and
make judgments based on pricing. With so much thought
being put in on Pricing by companies, customers and
competitors, it is a given that price optimization is essential
for profitability and customer experience.
Pricing and Merchandising are core capabilities in the retail
sector that are essential tools of strategy. Pricing is one of the
most powerful levers for improving profitability. Research
shows that price management initiatives can increase a
company’s margins by 2 – 7% in 12 months - yielding an ROI
between 200 and 350% 1. For every product, retailers work to
create pricing strategies and tactics, and work with various
tools to ensure key value differentiators are optimized. With
the advent of big data, analytics, omni-channel retailing and
mobile commerce, retailers are now required to forgo
traditional ways to keep pace with the evolving customer.
