From leading executive programs at esteemed institutions like Columbia University and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to private engagements through their consulting firm, Impact Planning Group, authors Mary Abbazia, Tom Spitale, and Sean Welham bring a wealth of hands-on experience across diverse B2B industries. The tools and techniques have been instrumental for tens of thousands of marketers in a variety of industries, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, industrial products, and financial services. They present a roadmap to glean customer insights, develop differentiated strategies, and execute initiatives with precision.
