From Pricing Standards to Daily Margin Behaviours: Making Execution Stick
- Most pricing organisations don't lack tools — they lack execution: standards exist, but teams don't turn them into daily margin behaviours
- How a small central team built a pricing system across 175 countries — linking strategy, process, capabilities, and the human side of pricing
- Adoption engineered, not mandated: reducing 39 capabilities to the 7–15 that moved each country's business case, with named owners closing the gaps
- Where AI genuinely changes pricing execution — and where the real bottleneck stays human, not technical
Olivier Dallemagne - Founder and Managing Partner - RGC Consultants
Track 4 / Masterclasses · 11:20–12:20 (1 hour)
MASTERY
Masterclass 1
Mastering the monetisation revolution: From product to solution
- From product to solution: manufacturers can unlock major value by shifting from one-time equipment sales to solution-driven business models
- The technology is ready, the commercial model isn't: the real barrier to this shift is measuring value, attributing it fairly, and allocating risk
- Strategy alone isn't enough: even sound business models stall without the right organizational structure, incentives, and pricing capability to support them

Inspirational Keynote Talk
Proof-Based Pricing: Why Unverified Claims Are Worth Nothing to an Algorithmic Buyer
- The Shopper Schism and the algorithmic shopper, the context: what changes when an AI agent, not a person, does the buying, and why the three pricing orientations most companies run today, cost-based, competition-based and value-based, all assume a buyer who can be persuaded
- Proof-Based Pricing, the new part: the pricing model built for that buyer. Make the offer machine-legible, substantiate the claims the buyer's rule can verify, and publish a price schedule on verifiable attributes. Five testable propositions and the first results of a pre-registered virtual-marketplace experiment now in the field
