EXECUTIVE INSIGHTS [ CMO insights ] [ CIO insights ]

Through a series of qualitative dialogues, the CMO Council presents a unique insight from Fortune 500 marketing and IT executives. In depth questions lead executives to self assess and draw conclusions about the internal state of collaboration and their role in shaping it. The goal is to spark conversation among colleagues and peers who will compare themselves to these industry innovators as they review interview transcripts.

This component of the program shows a strong commitment to the openness that the CMO Council believes is crucial to catalyzing cross-industry progress. Each interview explores the pervasive misalignment between the two groups and need for closer collaboration in executing strategic corporate objectives. Executive insights from real world experiences help to conceptualize the roadmaps and IT models to strengthen go-to-market processes in the digital age.
