How Innovative Companies Win
FREE Webinar Presented by Nielsen
 Thursday, January 13, 2011
2:00 - 3:00pm EDT
The Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG), partner of the Edison Awards, invites you to participate in a brand-new webinar by The Cambridge Group, a Nielsen Company.
"How Innovative Companies Win: Profiting from Demand-Driven Business Models, No Matter What Business You Are In"
by Jason Green, Principal, The Cambridge Group, a Nielsen Company
Anticipating the needs of today's digitally connected consumers has never been more important. Some of the most successful companies on the planet have figured this out by identifying the future needs of customers and putting in place demand-chain initiatives to support those needs. Knowing what your competitors don't about fulfilling untapped demand means the time for a breakthrough is now. It's today's way to win. Companies like McDonald's, Best Buy, Anheuser-Busch and Allstate are leaving competitors behind by successfully predicting where demand will go next - instead of just asking what their customers want now.
