On the flight to Asia I was reading a latest study conducted by Aegis Group's Marketing Management Analytics and Financial Executive magazine. 6 in 10 financial executives believe their companies' marketing departments have an inadequate understanding of financial controls, and 7 in 10 said their companies don't use marketing inputs and forecasts in financial guidance to Wall Street or other public disclosures.

CMOs have long fought hard to earn the power and respect they deserve. Today's CMOs face greater challenges than ever to demonstrate that their actions have a real impact on revenue, cash flow, and the bottom line.

If you are into interfaces and analytics and visualizations, you will like Dashboard Spy, a fairly new blog that already has amassed dozens of screenshots of executive dashboards, including indicators of advertising effectiveness.

I have just been on what I can only describe as a 'Romanian roller coaster'.  Two days of non-stop meetings, a keynote on a conference of planners, a 4 hour inspiration session with 50 marketers (90% women :-), a TV show, a dozen interviews and more conversations than I can remember.  And this all while a few months ago I didn't even know that there was an event called Masterplan 2007, taking place in Bucharest.
