Highlights from Christian’s thought-provoking views include:
On Business Innovation: “The biggest enemy a corporation will ever encounter during change is itself!” “If you want a new vision, I’ll write you one now, but how will you make people change?”
On Branding: “Upon return from their holiday, have you ever heard your friends say: ‘We stayed at a wonderful hotel, they had such nice letterheads and brochures!'”
On Marketing: “There is no such thing as a mature market, only tired marketers!” “Most marketing managers have left the boardroom to become managers of one-way communication. The only marketing concept that appears to survive these years is their title!”
On Strategy: “Any strategy process should begin by seeing the world as it is, yet most strategy meetings are about writing wish lists to Santa Claus.”
Christian Majgaard’s ability to distill complex concepts into clear messages, underscored by compelling examples and a touch of humor, makes him an invaluable resource for sales audiences seeking to thrive in the fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of 2024 and beyond.
