Getting to know future drivers of results – Annually Gartner releases a “Cool Vendors” report across many sectors including the marketing technology space. Innovation in marketing is rising with dramatic impact on budgets. The 2015-2016 Gartner report indicated 71% of marketing executives dedicated a portion of their budget to innovation (up 64% from the previous year). The critical take away is deciding what’s cool and what innovations need to be on your radar screen right now.
Often us Communication Professionals and others within the organization are so focused on the “here and now” communication tactics that we never get a chance to PAUSE to see what’s right around the corner. Emerging technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and other trends such as wearable technologies, will change how organizations think and how consumers make product and service decisions. According to the Economist, the good news is new technological advancements and the introduction of gadgets create new markets and new employment opportunities.
