By encouraging curiosity and exploration, employees can step outside their comfort zones and enter a collaborative environment. Expand your thinking beyond industry borders will enable you to adopt new concepts into your B2B business model. In addition to optimizing your marketing strategy, cross-industry learning can also benefit in optimizing processes, audience expansion, creating a corporate culture and develop leadership skills.
