• For years, B2B organizations have tried to paper over structural go-to-market (GTM) cracks with new tools, new dashboards, and new plays. • But AI has removed the illusion of foundational stability. • Buyers are invisible until the moment they aren’t. • Content is filtered through algorithms you don’t control. • And “alignment” has become a corporate wish rather than an operating reality. • Most leaders know their GTM model isn’t built for what’s coming.
Article Summaries:
- The B2B Summit North America highlighted that traditional go‑to‑market (GTM) models are failing in an AI‑driven buying environment. Three senior executives-Meredith Winczewski (Honeywell), Billy Hackenson (Cisco), and Catherine Daubert (ABB)-will argue that firms must abandon incremental tweaks and rebuild their GTM structures. Winczewski stresses simplifying decisions and centering customer needs; Hackenson warns that AI will expose organizational gaps and must be turned into a capability, not a strategy; Daubert emphasizes cross‑functional integration as the key leadership skill. Together, they call for a structural overhaul to keep pace with the “GTM singularity.”
