As part of SNAC’s ongoing efforts to provide professional development opportunities to our members, we are pleased to once again partner with Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University to bring you Elevating Marketing Excellence in Changing Times—a fully immersive, virtual program showcasing the next generation of marketing knowledge, skills and capabilities that will have the most impact on your organization’s success. Based on attendee feedback, this year’s program will focus on knowing your customer, visual communication, and the power of negotiations and win-win collaborations.

Who Should Attend?

This program is designed exclusively for 50 SNAC Member company marketing and sales managers and directors who are inspired to elevate their skills to come out ahead in times of market disruption and change. This program will address three key areas:

  • Segmentation for Improved Consumer Insight
  • Telling the Story with Data Visualization
  • Negotiations and Win-Win Collaboration

Program Will Include:

  • Pre-work: Complete participant profile—tell us about yourself, your experience, and what you hope to learn
  • Pre-reads: Professors will provide a limited amount of reading material to review prior to start of program
  • Certificate of completion

Registration Information:

The program has a very limited capacity of 45 participants. SNAC Business Members may register up to (2) participants, and SNAC Associate Members may register (1) participant—all others will be placed on a waiting list.

Certificates will not be granted to anyone not able to participate 100%. We are cognizant that this program will run during the workday and request you block your calendar and turn your out of office on during that time.

Schedule

Monday, July 17

SESSION 1: Honoring Your Customers’ Differences 
presented by Gina Fong

In this session we’ll explore how to define your customers by following their money, i.e., which behaviors are most relevant and productive for your business. We’ll also learn how to segment your customers to distill true insight so you can surprise and delight them in meaningful ways.

Tuesday, July 18
12:30 – 4:30 PM ET

SESSION 2: Negotiations and Win-Win Collaboration
presented by Leigh Thompson

Well-designed collaboration powers value creation and sparks creativity. In this intensely interactive session, participants learn the conditions and competencies that foster highly productive collaboration at the individual, team, and organizational levels and how to build and sustain these in their company and its people. At the individual level, they will explore collaboration styles, behaviors, and approaches for working with business partners, colleagues, competitors, and customers. At the team level, they will examine the multiple interests and perspectives that challenge effective collaboration.

Organizationally, they’ll learn the conditions for successful collaboration in joint ventures, mergers, and alliances, as well as interdepartmental and cross-departmental initiatives. The goal is to improve conflict management skills in complex collaborations and increase confidence.

SESSION 3: Telling Stories with Data Visualization
presented by Steve Franconeri

Your story – an argument, solution, or a pitch – relies on solid data. Using the latest research in data visualization and visual perception, this workshop will combine an overview of design techniques with hands-on exercises to illustrate how to tell clear stories from your data to upward and outward audiences of varied technical and topical expertise. Hear about research that helps us understand and harness the limits of our visual system and how it can be translated into practical terms to help you design better graphs and dashboards.
