Welcome to Part 8 of: “A Nine Part Practical Guide to Martech Enablement.” This is a progressive guide, with each part building on the prior sections and focused on outlining a process to build a data-driven, technology-driven marketing organization within your company.

- Part 1: What is martech enablement?

- Part 3: The team members

Up to this point, we’ve been largely talking about strategic work to set up the framework necessary to create and support a successful martech team. Strategy done, it’s time to execute and see results. On your mark…
