Lots of folks have been through lots of things, but we’ve never been through this level of uncertainty on a global basis - both in our businesses and in our personal lives. That said, we’re in this together, and there are things to do here and now that will help tomorrow be better.

We’re bringing together practitioners and advisors who have implemented improvements in commercial processes, and especially efforts related to pricing excellence: Stephan Liozu, Alex Hoff, and Mitch Lee will walk you thru 4 steps you can take for success today and tomorrow.  At a high level it boils down to: measuring and monitoring, understanding how and when to use what KPIs and when for contextual comparison, making action-biased context available in the moment, and fundamentally, taking up the responsibility for leadership from the middle office.  After all, the middle office is the place with the most comprehensive understanding of what’s holding back more profitability across the span of the back office plus the front office.

They’ll also draw on their experience to relate examples from the past that can help inform current decisions.  Yes, these are different times, but there are lessons from the past, admittedly on a smaller scale, that still provide a frame of reference for progress and success. In particular, they will review success stories that demonstrate the benefit of taking control of pricing in dynamic situations, with robust and agile enterprise-level capabilities.
