Whether it is right or wrong, the fact remains that their MQ inherently has an influence in IT buying behaviour. What AR pros need to do is work with the analyst ideally six months prior to any publication to fully understand what success criteria are to be better positioned as a leader and work towards those goals. A great way to understand how to work with an MQ can be seen in the great IIAR White Paper. [...] [...] Like it or not, Gartner are the original 800lb gorilla.

]]> Comment on IIAR Launches Certification for Analyst Relations Managers by Dom Pannell http://iiar.wordpress.com/2009/10/01/iiar-launches-certification-for-analyst-relations-managers/#comment-5125 Dom Pannell Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:20:01 +0000 http://iiar.wordpress.com/?p=327#comment-5125 Personally, I think this is a major step forward. It's time that the industry stood up for itself as a profession and put standards in place. Having a test that is drawn up by experts from across the industry that, therefore, reflects a broad set of interests rather than those of a single firm is particularly important. Best of all, the certification test is independent of any training scheme, so it cannot be rigged. Personally, I think this is a major step forward.
