Transect’s Post

Yesterday was an exciting day for me. Alongside the Belden senior leadership team, I spoke with employees from around the world in a livestream from the Chicago Customer Innovation Center. I shared our three year strategic plan, and because we just completed our yearlong celebration of Belden’s first 120 years, I touched a little bit on what our next year, 121, and beyond could look like. Since it was founded, Belden has been known for its innovation. In fact, we’ve been a part of every major innovation that’s occurred—the first television broadcast, the first computer networks, Apollo 11, and now in the International Space Station. And as I told my audience yesterday, we will continue innovating, but with a slight difference. Our innovation will focus on creating the network and data solutions our customers need in a way that maximizes their use of existing technology. Going forward, we will continue to build solutions that make people feel safe and productive—even when in transit—in a way that’s not intrusive. We want the customers of our customers to move, communicate, and innovate with ease and with no disruptions. In a sense, we want them to use our customers’ products and solutions without giving them too much thought. We’ve charted that path in our past and now we’re taking it into our future. #belden #BuildTheFuture #innovation #next121years

🍰 Want to know the best part of being a fractional CMO? 🍰 Being a Fractional CMO is like having a slice of the pie - Not the whole pie. Just enough to make a tasty impact. 🍰 📈 One of the things I love the most about what I do is working other amazing CMOs. Ten years ago, when I started out as a fractional CMO, I thought I needed to own the full slice of the pie. Then I realized the power of working with other amazing CMOs- Sharing the pie together Creating impact together Growing together. What you might not know is that Sometimes I come in as a fractional growth leader - not as the CMO. I take on the role of: ✅ Fractional Demand Gen Leader ✅ Fractional Growth Marketing Leader ✅ Fractional __insert role here__ Why? I love rolling up my sleeves.

Come & hear us share some of the lessons we’ve learned about resilience, overcoming challenges & coming back stronger ⬇️⭐️

A few years back, I laid out a three-year plan for my team to follow. We’ve continuously tracked our progress on this plan, and we talk about it whenever we hold our twice-annual water team meetings. We’re now nearing the conclusion of that three-year plan, and we’re seeing the results pay off big. By our measure, our division has successfully serviced a broader sector of the market that we feel has been underserved. Now I can’t attribute it all to us and the plan. But I do think our folks deserve a lot of the credit because we had a big hand in it, for sure. When we all get together in the fall for our next North America team summit, I’m planning to paint the vision for the next three years. So, whereas before, we were taking more of a block-and-tackle strategy, now we’re employing more of an entrepreneurial approach to these long-term plans. I want us to start exploring with things like AI and other new tools we can use to keep that forward momentum going. So how can we push ourselves? How can these tools help us advance as winners of projects and so forth to be better at our goals? Those answers will all come together in time. But it’s a good feeling as a leader when you set up a plan for your team, and then everyone gets to see some measurable results from their collective efforts.

In the middle of #Reignite2023, we were already discussing lessons learned.

We started Simply Technologies in February 2011 together with Alexander Adamyan Some things remained unchanged over these 13 years: our core values, ambitious projects, great partners worldwide, a rockstar team. What has changed? A lot… but today I would like to share my toughts about the three stages of the evolution of my perception of company success: ❌Profitability - this is a very important measure, but too obvious to be true. It puts the company and the team on different sides of the table. ❌ Revenue - this will put the company and your team on the same side of the table but leave your clients/partners on the opposite side in a lot of cases. ✅ Reputation - is the main metric for me now. It covers the above two in the long-term perspective and allows to set better common goals with the team, clients and partners. However, it is a way more complex task to measure a company's reputation than the profit or revenue. Probably I’ll talk about my ways of measuring the company's reputation in another post to keep this one short. Happy 13th anniversary to all Simply Technologies partners, clients and the team!
