The Simple Solution To The Most Universal and Urgent Problem in Business - The Inside Advantage

Discover how to take your business, division or brand and make it bigger, better, and stronger by identifying, nourishing and exploiting your business’ Inside Advantage


Presented by:
Robert H. Bloom,
US Chairman/CEO of Publicis Worldwide

With Thanks to Fleishman-Hillard


Robert H. Bloom, long-time US Chairman/CEO of the Paris-based, global marketing services giant Publicis Worldwide, has learned that every enterprise has an undiscovered or underutilized existing strength.

In his widely acclaimed book, “The Inside Advantage” (McGraw-Hill, November 2007), Bob demonstrates how any type or size business can accelerate its growth by exploiting this valuable strategic asset.

He calls his profoundly simple 4-step method the Growth Discovery Process:
Who + What + How + Own It! = INSIDE ADVANTAGE

WHO – the core customer of the enterprise 
WHAT – the uncommon offering that the business will own and leverage
HOW – the persuasive strategy that will convince the core customer to buy the firm’s uncommon offering vs. all competitive offerings
OWN IT! – the series of imaginative acts that celebrate the company’s uncommon offering and make it well-known to its core customer. 
Generate profitable growth by leveraging the strategic asset inside your business.

“Bob was instrumental in the growth of a number of our important brands at Nestle USA. The Inside Advantage gives entrepreneurs, business executives, and marketing folks at any size company a blueprint for a successful growth strategy. The book also gives you a process to find your most valuable consumer, and then the insight on how to interact with that consumer to accelerate growth. It’s a ‘must read.’
Joe Weller, Former Chairman/CEO, Nestle USA

“Bob’s strategic focus and aggressive leadership helped Publicis achieve significant growth in the US. Bob has clearly identified the best way to grow—which is the ‘inside advantage’ that all companies have. Better still, he offers an approach, a method and steps to follow. The Inside Advantage is nothing less than a recipe for success.”            
Maurice Levy, Chairman/CEO, Publicis Groupe SA

“If you are looking for practical wisdom from a battle-tested field general of business--look no further.  I arranged monthly meetings for years with Bob to uncover the practical wisdom he so effortlessly unfolds in the pages of The Inside Advantage.  This step-by-step guide unleashes the resident magic inside any organization that has the guts to put it to the test.   Here he shows that explosive growth and profitability is not just a noble ambition but a practical byproduct of strategic clarity that will emerge from your customers and your employees.  Hold on.  It is a great ride.”
Robert Dotson, CEO T-Mobile USA

“Bob has contributed to many of Toffler Associates’ roundtable discussions on the future chaired by Alvin Toffler and we've always found his insights valuable and provocative.
