34 Upward Mobility Leader/Laggard 40

35 If you re a laggard Hire smart. Take a tip from leaders who put more resources into strategy and supplement their teams more frequently with deeper outside expertise. Invest in that new site. For those 71% of laggards who are planning a redesign, think strategically about your upcoming redesign. Look at additional MarTech. Build a case for getting those critical pieces you need to compete.

36 If you re average Make your investments pay off. Added staff should help improve your ability to measure effectiveness Train or outsource where you have skill gaps. Leaders, despite having the largest staffs, are most likely to use a mix of both inhouse and outsourced resources. Push limits. Keep pushing boundaries and thinking strategically about moving offline processes to the web

37 If you re a leader Problems get harder to solve. Keep bringing innovative capabilities to your site and start the conversations and build relationships across teams that can make those big ideas a reality. Continue to invest in strategy. Your strides in strategy are paying off. Keep connecting the dots. To keep that top spot, you ll need to continue to invest in measurement not only ROI, but also how you re impacting consumer engagement and increasing revenue.
