This course is designed to refresh and update your team’s skills by exploring the latest innovations and best practices in ABM while building out their professional networks.
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, your team will complete a 360˚assessment of their competencies today, identifying areas for development and creating a personal development plan to put their learning into action. During the twelve weeks, they will attend six interactive sessions, work individually with an Inflexion Group mentor to deepen their skills, and collectively in small teams to tackle a simulation exercise. The final session will see them present their team’s plan, showcase their learning journey and celebrate their 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.
We will work with you to agree the scenarios you would like your ABM-ers to work on during the course, and to customise the content, reflecting your business context, terminology, key processes and technology infrastructure, so that your team can immediately apply what they learn.
Your team will continue their learning after the course as part of the ABM Academy’s alumni group.
