In 2011, 71 % felt underprepared to deal the explosion of marketing data, as compared to 82% in 2014 .

66% reported that they’re not ready to cope with social media, marginally less than 2011.

Our Responsibility

“By 2018 the US is predicted to lack around 1.5 million managers and analysts with sufficient technical and digital know-how to make effective decisions, and the picture in the UK is similar. Big data, web analytics, mobile, content marketing and social media are the future of marketing but they are also the most difficult skills for which to recruit. This presents a challenge for both marketing employers and educators.”

Lorna Walke, senior lecturer and programme director in the Business & Management faculty of Regent’s University London Business School

Pieces to the Digital Puzzle Content Paradox: The idea of transmitting digital content openly

and transparently contrasts with the interests of the entrenched executive focused on controlling the message and its distribution.

Literacy Paradox: Digital is being adopted at an exponential rate by consumers, but more than half of CMOs admit they are not technically or analytically prepared to address this opportunity.

Marketing Paradox: Traditionally, marketing has operated in its own independent silo and has been focused on customer acquisition and engagement; now its functions and technologies are beginning to pervade all aspects of the organization.

Organizational Paradox: Executives expect digital to transform their companies, but their organizations are not structurally or technologically prepared for the speed and complexity of this change.

Sustainability Paradox: Some two-thirds of organizations consider sustainability a significant issue yet a only small percentage have fully implemented sustainability initiatives; many more have not incorporated such initiatives into their strategic planning.

Performance Paradox: As a rule, businesses with superior performance (in terms of sales or revenue) feel better prepared for digital transformation and have invested more resources in digital marketing than lower performers.

Digital Transforms the Learning Environment

Students- Millennials live the digital culture with different values, learning styles and expectations; they translate their social media expertise to strategic applications.

Instructors – They must adopt the digital mindset (values, listening, responsiveness) as a partner in learning

Classroom – In order to engage the millennial, the instructor must transform the learning environment from being instructor dominant to learner centric or creating a experiential, collaborative social community

Textbook- The static print textbook must be transformed to an interactive, updatable, and flexible digital learning resource integrating all of the changes cited above
