Postponed: Economic uncertainty: leadership teams rediscover market analysis

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this lecture has been postponed but will be re-scheduled at a later date. Thanks for taking note. Companies’ leadership teams are striving to understand changing market dynamics, recognising that revenue streams are under threat. New propositions are required that are relevant to customers' changing values, which also fend off embattled rivals. As a result, many leadership terms are turning to core marketing analyses and strategic marketing tools. Today, it is most likely the CEO, COO and CFO utilising these tools. This lecture provides an insight into the emerging strategizing process for market-led risk assessment, identifying opportunities, strategic trade-offs and planning. Lyndon Simkin is Professor of Strategic Marketing at Oxford Brookes University. Previously he was at Warwick Business School, as FT MBA Director and then Director of the MSc in Marketing & Strategy. Lyndon is a consultant to many blue chip corporations, a recognised High Court expert witness in cases of marketing and business planning litigation, as well as the author of numerous books for practitioners and students.

It's simply a chance to socialise with other parents/carers and, if you are interested, find out about some of our exciting research on child development.
