Just Think Outside the Box!

Donald DeMont

We’ve all been told at some point or another, to just “think outside the box.” Well, that is easier said than done! With the new year and both its challenges and opportunities coming quickly upon us, let’s take a moment to discover and define what exactly this expression means and how we can use it as a tool for locating new avenues of approach. In this webinar led by Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery, participants will gain an enhanced perspective and insight into innovation and creative problem solving for products and processes.

Strategic Thinking in CPG: from Tactics to Grand Strategy

Donald DeMont

A famous saying is that “Big things have small beginnings,” and this webinar with Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery will examine the interplay between tactics, strategy, and ultimately grand strategy. These misunderstood terms are not interchangeable but form a relational synthesis, which, when seen in their proper context, are like gears in the machinery of business. Participants will gain an understanding of the nature of strategy from the micro to the macro level and how the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts.

Bridging the Divide Between Sales and Marketing

Donald DeMont

The rivalry between sales and marketing often stems from conflicting goals, different performance metrics, and poor communication. Sales teams are focused on revenue generation and closing deals, while marketing teams often focus on longer-term brand building and lead generation. This dichotomy can lead to friction when marketing feels their efforts in market penetration and brand awareness aren’t appreciated, while sales teams feel that marketing isn't providing enough support to close deals and grow sales. In this webinar, Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery explores the middle ground where communication and understanding bridge the divide between sales and marketing to create effective cross-functional teams.
