Why this roundtable, why now?

Three seismic shifts are colliding, driven by changes in buyer behaviour:

  1. Millennial/Gen Z buyers now dominate B2B decisions with digital-first expectations
  2. AI tools let them research complex solutions independently – they then engage sales earlier to understand AI capabilities within vendor offerings
  3. The rise of buyer indecision with increased buyer friction

Green Hat's APAC B2B Buyer Research 2025 confirms: buyers move faster through AI-aided research and then need sales teams who can speak their language about AI functionality.

LinkedIn’s paper, “How to win mindshare in the GenAI Race" provides insight on how to get your business on the shortlist – creating a clear window for those who adapt first.

  • Latest Sales + Marketing realignment:
    How leading organisations orchestrate around AI-informed buyer journeys
