      Trust Not Buzz Builds A TRUE Brand Compass

      Forrester’s research shows that consumers demand more from brands in the 21st Century.  Marketers now have a steeper hill to climb to earn consumers’ brand preference, referral and a willingness to pay a premium price.  This is the first in a series of reports that analyses Forrester’s new Consumer Technographics® brand compass data to reveal consumers expectations of brands by category.  This report will show what makes a consumer packaged goods (CPG) personal care and food and beverage categories a strong TRUE brand, one that is Trusted, Remarkable, Unmistakable and Essential.  And that Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) must begin their quest for mindshare and market share by earning consumers’ trust not driving buzz.

      Prepare Your Vendor Selection For The Future of Services Sourcing

      Selecting the right vendor for your IT services needs is becoming increasingly important, as the solutions in the IT services marketplace evolve and change, and the importance of strong business alignment increases. Selecting the right vendor for your business requirements, with the right solution, the right capabilities, and the right price is becoming increasingly complex, and yet Forrester sees many companies still struggling with the basics. While the sourcing strategy describes the goals and objectives of a good sourcing process and the activities supporting these, the vendor selection is the next critical step to execute on the strategy. The process -- involving RFPs, negotiations, and contracting -- becomes more complex with new disruptive technologies, a stronger need for business/IT alignment and changing delivery models. This document addresses what needs to be considered in the RFP process, which elements are important for contracting, and how to use this information to negotiate with vendors.
