This course is designed to refresh and update your skills by exploring the latest innovations and best practices in ABM while building out your professional network.
Delivered through twelve hours of interactive virtual sessions plus mentoring, it features leading ABM-ers sharing case study examples of the different types of ABM in today’s blended strategies. We look at the implications of emerging AI for the role of an ABM-er and the technical marketing competencies and soft skills required, including AI literacy. We also explore ABM in the context of a broader account-based growth strategy, and how to design and build an effective programme, preparing you for a leadership position.
As part of the course, you will complete a 360˚ assessment of your competencies today, identifying your areas for development and creating a personal development plan to put your learning into action. During the twelve weeks, you will attend six interactive sessions, work individually with an Inflexion Group mentor to deepen your skills, and collectively in a small team to tackle a simulation exercise. The final session will see you present your team plan, showcase your learning journey and celebrate your achievements during a certification webinar.
The Course Director for The Expert ABM Practitioner is Bev Burgess, author, consultant and Chief Executive of Inflexion Group. Other faculty members are drawn from Inflexion Group’s most experienced consultants, with external guest speakers and thought leaders sharing their perspectives. You will have the opportunity to learn from the class leaders, guest speakers and from the other delegates in your cohort, sharing experiences from across market sectors and geographies. You will also continue this shared learning after the course as part of the ABM Academy’s alumni group.
