How to become a thought leader

SAP Marketing manager Mark van Heijningen published a blog on how to become a thought leader. Nice blog and I'm really proud that Mark mentioned me ;-)




Short summary, but make sure you read Mark's blog here.

  1. Take your stand.
    Make choices, both as a company that wants to employ thought leaders as yourself who wants to be a thought leader.
  2. Know your classics.
    Thought leadership is close to evangelism. Know the facts and wrap them in stories that your audience wants to listen to.
  3. Reserve time and budget.
    Building up knowledge and sharing the message takes time. Make sure your thought leaders do not feel guilty in doing so.
  4. Structure and support.
    Thought leadership doesn't go well with commercial pressure. But integration with your companies core activities is important.

I really enjoyed reading this post about vehicle wraps, thank you for sharing. I rarely come across the article equally interesting and informative! I generally prefer RTS for van wrapping in london and would recommend it to all.

This article is loaded with some well-informed data. You have made admirable statements in an exceptional manner about this article. Since this has made me wonder about more things I would want to know about bookkeeping services for doctors

What about virtual / augmented reality and UI5?

This years #UI5Top5 does not include AR/VR apps. What do you think? When will we meet AR/VR in a business context? Do you want a UI5 Top 5 in 2019 or do we focus on Immersive Experience (Augmented, Virtual, Mixed and Assisted Reality) in stead?
