Heavy Industry: Marketing Competence Development


Business Issue
Our client wanted to increase their marketing competencies and benchmark themselves against world-class marketing organizations.

Marketing Clinic Implementation

  • Business critical competence areas were assessed
  • Employees within the marketing organization were interviewed and their competence levels were assessed with the help of the MC Competence Assessment Tool
  • Competence target levels were set both on an individual and at an organizational level
  • A summary was made on areas of strength and development needs and development areas were prioritized
  • A competence development program was tailored to the needs of the company
  • The development program lasted one year with both pre- and post- module assignments
  • Real client business cases were solved during the program in order to take full advantage of the program and accelerate learning


Strategic Implications and Business Results

  • The program ensured that competencies were developed within business critical areas
  • The overall competence level of the marketing organization increased (which was measured at the end of the program)
  • Common, high-standard working practices were developed during the program

Client Testimonial

I wanted to bring marketing into the agenda of VR to drive growth. Key questions on my mind was; 1. How to get the consumers/customers at the center of our focus and 2. What should be the structure of our brand portfolio and what should be our value proposition. I assigned Marketing Clinic to do this and I can highly recommend them for all marketing related projects. They are really world-class!
