Mack Elevation Forum holds meeting; features speaker Bang of Walgreens

CHICAGO The Mack Elevation Forum, a new and emerging strategy, consulting and training organization, held its first Elevation Forum meeting Wednesday, featuring keynote speaker Chong Bang, Walgreen’s leader of Customer-Centric retailing.

Bang discussed strategies which mid-size firms may want to deploy to better align with Walgreen’s corporate priorities and customer focus.  The other forum topics included strategies for designing an effective strategic sales blue print, co-creating innovative products and a round table on two dozen key industry challenges.

Mack Elevation Forum will host its next Elevation Forum meeting June 27 in Palm Beach prior to the National Association of Chain Drug Stores’ Annual Meeting.

Mack Elevation Forum was founded by Dan Mack, who is managing director. The consulting and training focuses on designing differentiated and insightful go-to-market strategy, improved sales positioning and customer relations through the Strategic Blue Print growth system and the Elevation Model, a comprehensive customer value creation process that encourages executives to move from transactional to strategic selling.

Prior to founding Mack Elevation Forum, Mack served as the vice president of consumer sales and customer marketing at DenTek Oral Care.
