Some 75% of B2B buyers say they prefer a representative-free purchase experience, according to the Gartner 2022 B2B Buyer Survey.

It is possible this is a short-sighted, idealistic viewpoint from customers; but it is an undeniable signal that B2B brands must increase their ability to engage buyers through digital channels.

Today’s B2B buyer is an omnichannel buyer who engages in a mix of self-service digital and sales representative interactions. CMOs must determine how best to orchestrate high-value buyer engagement across a mix of digital and human channels along the buying journey.

In this webinar, Rick LaFond  (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director Analyst will help marketing leaders determine the types of interactions that buyers find most valuable, and provide specific actions that marketing teams can take to increase omnichannel B2B buyer value.

Discussion Topics:

• Create highly valuable digital interactions that support buyer journey progression
• Enable sellers to augment digital value and deliver high-value customer interactions
• Integrate marketing and sales processes to deliver a consistent cross-channel experience

Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG , has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.

This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.

There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.

The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.

The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.

The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.

These APM Stakeholder Resources are now available on the APM website and .accessible to anyone!

In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.
