This week, former Forrester Research Director Jeff Clark is back in the studio with our host Ian Truscott, and they discuss the impact of folklore within a business, which can be positive or it can hold your business back.
Their conversation is inspired by some work by Kerry Cunningham at 6Sense: Folklore Debt: The Stories That Build B2B Companies — and the Ones That Hold Them Back | 6sense
They share 5 f’in’ takeaways from Kerry’s work:
-
Companies thrive on their origin story
-
Being defined by features
-
Technical debt constrains future growth
-
Narrative eras and stories
-
Focus on why you will win in the future
Ian then joins Robert Rose in our virtual bar, The Rose and Rockstar, for one of his fabulous cocktails and a chat about a marketing topic.
This week, Ian and Robert discuss an article from Robert’s column for The Content Marketing Institute The Mid-Year AI Reality Check Marketing Teams Need, which dives into the results of his analysis of 500 agentic AI use cases.
Enjoy!
