Rockstar CMO Studio: The Soft Stuff is the Hard Stuff

This week, our host Ian Truscott and our resident marketing strategist and former Forrester Research Director Jeff Clark revisit a topic they discussed 3 years ago in episode 118 - the hard stuff of getting the soft stuff right when implementing marketing technology. 

They cover five things to consider: 

#1 Identify business needs

#2 Develop new processes.

#3 Develop new skills

#4 Manage change

#5 Measure success.

As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have a suggestion for a topic that's hot for you that we should discuss, please get in touch using the links below.
