The full agenda for the Consortium Meeting is shown below, but key highlights include:

  • A member case history by Gerry Lopez of Rohm and Haas. Gerry, working with a variety of resources including ISBM, has embarked on a "marketing journey" that has been well underway for over a year. His journey is an uniquely global one, and has started with the basics, and unfolded through some interesting focused development approaches, tools, and insights. This case history will provide additional direction, tricks, traps, and real world insight. Don't miss it!
  • A second member case and new offering mixed presentation: an illustration of a new process/approach for driving growth from Monitor Group, and its implementation at Eastman Chemical. Jonathon Levy from Monitor and David Youland from Eastman Chemical presenting.
  • Deep discussion on some new offerings: with a focus on Marketing Engineering for Excel. With a completely revised and simplified interface, and packaged online courses for each module, this exciting new offering promises to be one of the highest impact ISBM projects. Dr. Gary Lilien will present.
  • As always--plenty of time for roundtable discussion, networking, and benchmarking.

This is an important meeting of our "community of learning and practice." ISBM meetings are a great place to build your personal and professional network. We hope that you are able to attend both meetings.
