Course Objectives Marketing executives face increasing accountability for marketing investments and expenditures. Calculating the return on investment (ROI) for marketing actions and assessing the risk of proposed marketing plans is expected from marketing managers. There is a clear emphasis, more than ever before, on Marketing Metrics and Dashboards. This course is designed with three key objectives Metric fluency: Familiarity with key metrics, and understanding the key drivers that affect competitive advantage and marketplace performance. Metrics for decision-making: The use of metrics to make and justify marketing mix decisions, from a product / brand manager s perspective and from a Chief Marketing Officer s perspective. Linking marketing metrics to financial metrics and developing Dashboards: Understanding how marketing and financial metrics are linked, and being able to implement a marketing measurement program/dashboard for a firm. Course Format: In-class Exercises, CMO-CFO series, Dashboarding Workshop Each class session will consist of a lecture on specific metrics followed by a hands-on exercise with a dataset. Other components include case discussions and current examples of metrics used in different companies. The course will include a guest speaker series (one CMO, one CFO, and a panel of top industry experts in analytics, finance and marketing), and a hands-on workshop on building a dashboard. A course highlight is the team project on developing a metrics dashboard, while working with real data sets from a client firm. Page 1 of 6
