There’s a common thread to all of the technological and management changes sweeping the B2B world. Business is getting more complex… to the point of chaos, sometimes. If only there were a champion on the side of simplicity that would help companies cope.

That’s where brands come in. Simplicity is what they’re all about. And everyone has a brand – it’s just a matter of knowing how to put it to work solving real-world business problems.

In his work with Tactus Partners, Eric Wedemeyer has been helping B2B companies deploy their brands in managing four key areas of growing complexity:

  1. Positioning: standing out in a more crowded marketplace
  2. Implementing strategy: staying on-track while the ground moves under you
  3. Internal motivation: inspiring an increasingly diverse workforce
  4. Activating customers: selling into a complex purchasing process

In this presentation he will look at each of these areas, sharing insights and examples of how well-managed brands can make bring simplicity and focus, and also how brand work can fall short of expectations (it happens).

Complexity isn’t going away. Don’t miss this chance to find out how B2B companies are transforming this challenge into competitive advantage.
