About the European Pricing Summit and Benchmarking Survey

The advent of disruptive technology, growth of e-commerce and increasing competition from global markets are just a few of the reasons why leading companies are spending time and money to develop a pricing strategy that works. Many pricing leaders are wondering what direction to take their pricing strategy in and want to benchmark with other organisations to decide what is the most profitable option. But KPIs and pricing models are almost always confidential,and the majority of organisations are unwilling to disclose the facts and figures that the industry needs. The industry has a dilemma where practitioners want access to others’ KPIs without fully revealing theirs!

Given this situation, IQPC will be launching an anonymous survey as part of our European Pricing Summit to enable our clients to obtain first-hand bench marking data to assist them in creating the most profitable pricing strategy. The results will be revealed onsite and discussed throughout the two days.

Alongside our European Bench marking survey the summit looks at the following core topics:

Value Based Pricing

How can we turn this from a complicated struggle to something which is quick, easy, produces results and works in multiple regions

Blue Sky Session: Pricing Innovation and New Product Pricing

Companies who pour millions of dollars into product innovation and brand strategy often fail at the last hurdle by succumbing to dreary ‘me-to’ pricing. Our Blue-Sky pricing session show cases some of the most innovative, new pricing methods in the market andexamines the ROI and value

Interactive B2B and B2C Streams

At key points during the conference delegates will have the opportunity to join industry specific roundtables and discuss topics tailored to their company. These include capturing consumer emotion, negotiating with procurement and behavioural pricing strategy

Disruptive Technologies

Automation and data analytics have huge advantages for pricing but only if you can get your process in place, access reliable data and manage that change management project. We discuss how to go about this in the most effective way possible

Process Governance and Control

Ad hoc discounting and lack of adherence to pricing strategy can derail even the most sophisticated plans. Ownership, accountability and communicating your plan to all stakeholders is vital!

Topics and Speakers

Pre-Conference Masterclass

The Value Based Pricing Simulation

The value-based pricing simulation is specifically designed to deliver in-depth practical training on advanced pricing, in a realistic and dynamic environment.

The workshop provides a simulated environment of several rounds (fiscal years), which make long-range planning feasible and allow a long term evaluation of pricing strategies on different operational and corporate KPIs (sales, market share, contribution, profits, ROI, shareholder value).

The participants will not only have decisions to make on segmentation and positioning issues but will also have to manage interactions between marketing and R&D to develop a new portfolio of innovative products with specific value attributes (with a clear distinction, supported by market research data, between the physical characteristics of products as specified by R&D and the characteristics perceived by consumers).

Decisions will rely on internal information made available (past performance, cost data, etc.) and on an extensive set of over 15 market research studies including an awareness survey, purchase intentions, shopping habits, consumer and distribution panels, perceptual mappings and conjoint analysis among others.

In a single line: The serious game of pricing!

Attendees will learn:

  • Just as a flight simulator allows a flight crew to practice in a risk-free setting, the value-based pricing simulation allows participants to test their knowledge in a concentrated amount of time before entering their usual business environment
  • Pricing, marketing, R&D, channels among other interactions are considered together in a holistic and unique approach of value based pricing
  • The competitive spirit between teams leads to a high level of excitement and enthusiasm, making the learning experience a sensation!
