Market Intelligence

The Market is Rapidly Changing, is your Commercial Team Evolving Fast Enough? 

AI is changing the solutions providers offer and how they position them. For LSPs moving into global content solutions and other innovative offerings, it’s essential commercial teams also evolve. Participants will understand the new market dynamics, as well as how to speak to business outcomes as they prospect and engage with teams beyond localization programs.

Based on CSA Research advisory work, market observations, and buyer-side trend analysis.
01

Adapting Commercial Strategy for AI

The market doesn't need more philosophical discussion about AI. It needs grounded, useful guidance that helps people adapt and grow.

02

From Delivery Metrics to Business Outcomes

Executives are looking for measurable business outcomes, not just language delivery metrics. Outcome thinking is now essential.

03

Repositioning Language Services Around Value

We must evolve from positioning language services to positioning broader organizational solutions tied to globalization and CX.

From Transactional to Transformational

The shift from traditional selling to consultative engagement isn't just a change in approach — it's a fundamental evolution in how commercial teams create value.

Traditional Approach

  • Focuses heavily on translation volume and pricing
  • Speaks primarily with localization teams and managers
  • Relies on traditional localization KPIs (word counts, cost)
  • Operates fundamentally on a transactional basis
  • Positions standalone language services
  • Feels threatened by AI disruption and market shifts

Post-Localization Approach

  • Focuses on business outcomes and strategic value
  • Engages executives (marketing, CX, IT, product)
  • Uses ROI, customer experience, and growth metrics
  • Operates consultatively to solve complex problems
  • Positions globalization and holistic solutions
  • Understands how to create value in an AI-enabled market
