WHAT SHOULD A CoE DO FOR
YOUR ORGANIZATION?
A center of excellence for MCM/CEM should drive and coordinate
the organization’s the entire efforts
This provides guidance on how the organizations
core digital assets and IT systems can be
leveraged, freeing leadership teams to focus on
what is unique about their markets and brands.
A successful approach can balance the need to be
cost effective with the creativity essential to meet
the needs of segments of one, allowing for
seamless execution and ease of analysis for ROI
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 6
EVALUATING YOUR ORGANIZATIONS’
CHALLENGES
People come first
then ‘Systems’
Define the
solution first,
then Create the solution
Thread through
the solution
should be the framework
Involve your vendors
and agencies
and make them ‘partners’
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 7
INTEGRATION & TRAINING THROUGHOUT YOUR
RE-INVENTION
Brand teams play an essential part in successful CoE implementation
with brand marketing incorporating CES in their brand plans and provide
MCM-ready content.
 Lack of Innovation: CoE engagement have issues due to lack of understanding,
employing only known tools and past strategies in strategic planning.
Introduce Important CoE Processes into how Marketing Tactics and
Strategies are planned and executed.
 Marketing Excellence: Channel mix, Targeting, Segmentation, Analysis
Successful companies have embarked on a rigorous program to
train their brand teams to produce
 Content Marketing: Include all stakeholders and CoE in brand
strategies whenever possible.

CREATING A FRAMEWORK OF
STRUCTURE, FUNCTION & PROCESS
CREATING A FRAMEWORK:
STRUCTURE
MAPPING CoE STRUCTURE WILL REQUIRE DEEP
EXPERIENCE IN CULTURAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
 What positions and leaders should be in what
organizational structure of your CoE? - Linking with
corporate strategy and establishing a new improved culture
 Define processes and elements - increased synergies
 Document and map out the vision for the future –
increased ROI
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 11
Important Considerations
1. Creating structure alignment with roles and responsibilities
2. Implementation plans
3. Executive and Marketing buy-in
ONLY 23% OF
B2B MARKETERS
claim to have a customer-centric
organizational structure–versus a
channel- or product-centric structure.
Scale your B2B Customer Obsession with a Go-to-Customer Strategy.

Digital ROI is Facing ‘Moment of Truth’
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 19
 P&G conglomerate has a $2.4 Billion U.S.
ad budget
 20-30% of waste in media supply chain
 ”It’s high time that the industry collectively
grows up and adheres to common standard.”
 Unilever announced plans to cut its global
roster of agencies in half from 3,000 to
1,500 shops and crank out 30% fewer ads.
 During the first half of 2017, lowered
agency spend by 17 percent.
WHAT STRATEGIC DECISIONS ARE NECESSARY
TO CAPTURE THE ELUSIVE ROI?
• Determining the ‘Payoff’ of MCM and CE
• Structure of CoE will breed your philosophy throughout organization
• KPIs need to be based on value not click rates or visits to apps
• Function of matching digital activity to value is not a KPI or a reliable measure
• Transform the entrenched Process of ‘test and control’ in your organization
• Plan for change and required patience to change
• Measurement of customer engagement depends on relevance
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 20
SUMMARY
Executive buy-in, leadership and ownership.
Center of Excellence objectives are driven by
line of business leaders but captured and
managed by the Center of Excellence in light
of the vision and mission of the company.
The Center of Excellence is empowered to be
an organizational change agent.
Cross-departmental collaboration is enabled,
supported and rewarded.

Notas do Editor

  1. This provides guidance on how the organizations core digital assets and IT systems can be leveraged, freeing leadership teams to focus on what is unique about their markets and brands. A successful approach can balance the need to be cost effective with the creativity essential to meet the needs of segments of one, allowing for seamless execution and ease of analysis for ROI Digital iPad question: What do you see as the main benefits of a successful CoE? (more customer centric organization, more innovation
  2. -To overcome inertia, some companies go so far as to require brand teams to devote a certain minimum share of the marketing budget to digital channels. In addition, a mentoring program, in which MCM experts coach and tutor brand managers, can be a successful way to promote MCM capabilities within the brand teams. - Also, many MCM initiatives have suffered delayed updates of content—such as material for an e-CME program or a website—as well as content that was not designed specifically for the channels in question; rather, it was a mere recycling of traditional field-force material.
  3. Creating alignment, governance, and convergence of all CoE-related services within organization with the aim to increase synergies and consistency, ultimately leading to increased return on investment. In his book, Good to Great, Jim Collins creates a lasting and memorable metaphor by comparing a business to a bus and the leader as a bus driver. He emphasizes that it is crucial to continuously ask “First Who, Then What?” You are a bus driver. The bus, your company, is at a standstill, and it’s your job to get it going. You have to decide where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, and who’s going with you. Most people assume that great bus drivers (read: business leaders) immediately start the journey by announcing to the people on the bus where they’re going—by setting a new direction or by articulating a fresh corporate vision. In fact, leaders of companies that go from good to great start not with “where” but with “who.” They start by getting the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats. And they stick with that discipline—first the people, then the direction—no matter how dire the circumstances.
  4. This capability is concentrated on the central ownership of methodologies and the establishment of a credible authority to define, customize, and enforce standards. The CoE has to become the trusted source of digital and CEM expertise owning all related methods, tools, and techniques. This demands, among others, expertise in governance and resource management.
  5. Content management audit can also be included in the mix as a sub-segment to Channel mix or by itself.
  6. Ultimatum that they clean up practices and play by the megabrand’s rules Headline - Procter & Gamble chief brand officer Marc Pritchard, who holds the strings to the conglomerate’s $2.4 billion annual U.S. advertising purse, threatened to yank his company’s spend if they fail to address the growing mess of issues in digital advertising like fraud, brand safety and transparency Waste - 20 to 30 percent of waste in the media supply chain because of lack of viewability, nontransparent contracts, nontransparent measurement of inputs, fraud  Fraud detection - In another move to open up ad transparency, P&G’s programmatic partner The Trade Desk partnered  with bots-detection company White Ops last week to eliminate ad fraud—before buyers are charged—from inventory offered by supply-side platforms
  7. The lack of convincing proof that MCM pays off has damaged the reputation of these efforts within companies. Thus, it is critical for companies to create robust methods for tracking return on investment, a move that will help them understand which approaches have hit at least a minimum level of success (so they can be rolled out more broadly) and which have not (so they can be corrected). Measuring ROI involves tracking KPIs such as click rates, number of users for a website or app, call durations, and physician satisfaction levels. But most pharmaceutical-industry MCM pilots have been too small to allow for a reliable ROI measurement, too brief for adequate testing, or designed in a way not suitable for measurement. Key shortcomings in pilot design have included the lack of a clear definition of the baseline performance and the failure to establish a control group of physicians to show how a marketing program will perform in the absence of MCM. MCM is no longer a “nice to have” capability. In the current challenging pharmaceutical industry, MCM’s potential to boost revenues and cut costs are compelling reasons to make the institutional changes necessary for this new means of connecting with physicians in the digital world. Companies certainly have the data right now to deliver on MCM. Effective marketing approaches can make use of that wealth of data, allowing pharmaceutical companies to tailor their content and channel mix to maximum effect. What many companies lack, however, is a plan for change and the organizational patience required to transform entrenched processes, incentives, and ways of thinking. Both elements are required in a highly connected world where success in reaching physicians and patients depends on the relevance of content and the quality of the interaction. The question now is whether the industry will make the investments required to build an MCM approach that yields reliable execution and healthy returns.
