There’s no denying it. Business has become global, yet few people we meet in our everyday lives have any actual international experience to share. Markets are increasingly messy and rapidly evolving. Leaders know that they need to adapt, but they are usually too busy—and they’re unsure about what exactly to change.
Lean Brands
provides a lean, agile approach to building global brands, helping you 1) quickly analyze your environment; 2) create a differentiated and meaningful brand positioning; and 3) bring your brand strategy to life on the ground, where it counts. You'll learn how to “recon” and take advantage of weaknesses of your competition, as well as hone in on what will work in new markets to make sure you are memorable.
