Still chasing 10% efficiency gains?

2023-2025 were the years of experimentation with AI. 2026 is the year to make it transformative. If you're still trying to figure out the strategic advantage AI will bring to your team, we're here to help!

CMO's: Welcome to the "Era of Less".

Your marketing org chart is probably built on history, not strategy.

It was designed for a world that no longer exists—a world before generative AI, shrinking budgets, and relentless pressure to prove value.

Trying to "do more with less" by spreading your best people thinner isn't a strategy. It's a recipe for burnout, mediocre work, and ceding ground to your competitors. The problem isn't your team; it's the design.

While others are stuck in a cycle of "more," smart leaders are getting strategic. They are unbundling their marketing work, moving from monolithic departments to agile ecosystems. They know what to protect, where to partner, and what to automate.

This is the framework they're using.

Turn the "Era of Less" into a competitive advantage

What's inside the guide

This brief, actionable guide gives you the exact model we use with B2B leaders to build high-impact teams. You will get:

  • The 2x2 "Unbundling" Framework - A simple grid to finally decide what work actually creates your advantage and what is just noise.
  • A Clear Decision-Making Model - Learn how to separate irreplaceable, core strategy from scalable, operational execution.
