"In our continuing effort to provide top notch opportunities for industry networking and education, I think we've hit it out of the park with this panel," said Joe Rooney, SVP of Brand and Media for Cox Communications and co-chair of Adaptive Spirit's SkiTAM. "We have gathered some of our industry’s sharpest executives to discuss this comprehensive, eye-opening IBM study which delves into the issues that keep top marketers up at night."

Between February and June 2011, IBM met face to face with 1,734 CMOs in 19 industries and 64 countries to better understand their goals and the challenges they confront.  The resulting information became the first study of CMO’s and the fifteenth in the on-going series of C-suite studies developed by the IBM Institute for Business Value.

The panel at Adaptive Spirit’s SkiTAM will address key points including:

• The areas CMOs indicated they are most under prepared to manage
• Three key domains CMOs identified for improvement
