Coverage from our Q1 and Q2 events
Marketers from Channel 4, Diageo and Specsavers on capability building
From creating a culture of learning to proving the ROI of L&D investment, marketing leaders discussed their approaches to capability building at Econsultancy’s inaugural forum.
Training marketers for the era of AI: ‘There’s no point investing in tech’ if we can’t use it
AI may offer the prospect of less grunt work, but it will require new capabilities, including knowledge of IP law, data literacy and the resilience to navigate change, say leading marketers from Brown-Forman, Lego and Nomad Foods.
‘What’s the business objective?’ – Three marketing leaders on how they use AI
AI has the potential to take an organisation from the “middle of the pack to best in class”, but marketers need “real discipline” when deciding how to use it, according to leaders from Brown-Forman, Lego and Nomad Foods.
Learning should be being coached on the job, in a moment, it should be learning yourself, particularly from things that you screwed up.

I got a real energy boost from The Marketing Capability Leaders Forum, which was a rare and valued opportunity to meet and hear from like-minded capability professionals in a relaxed and productive setting.
