The New Solutions Marketing Skills Set — How to Develop Tomorrow's Experts TodayISA Marketing & Sales Summit

In this session, Matt Leary from Solutions Insights will present the results of a recent study that has been conducted on both the knowledge and skills required to successfully develop and marketing complex services and solutions.

Panda, Penguin, Rabid CPC’s: The Zookeeper’s Guide to Search Marketing 2013ISA Marketing & Sales Summit
By Shari L.S. Worthington, President, Telesian Technology
Did you know that duplicate web content will severely damage your search rankings? What about all that material your channel has copied onto their web site? Did you know that Google applies its optimization criteria to PPC’s? Are you generating anonymous clicks or actual leads?
Almost all businesses start searches for products and services online. The first stop is a known web site or a search engine. That means you must have a decent web site and you have to be visible in the search engines. You can’t play at it any more. But search marketing often feels like zookeeping. There are Panda and Penguin updates (and so many more that you haven’t heard about) on the search optimization side. On the PPC side, there are rabid increases in cost-per-clicks (CPC’s) for the best keywords. In this session, Shari Worthington provides an update on the latest tools and techniques for SEO and PPC success

Gemba Walking Marketing and Sales
Presented by:
Doug Brock, Kendall Electric
What does the term Gemba have to do with marketing and sales?
Gemba in Lean Manufacturing terms means The Real Place. In Lean, you go to the Real Place to observe the Real Thing to get the Real Facts and Data. Improvements are discovered and problems are solved at the Gemba. The Gemba Walk is the tool frequently used to discover, deploy, and implement improvements. Managers walk through the Real Place working with front line supervisors and workers to gather information and to ensure improvement ideas are discovered and implemented.
The concept of Gemba and Gemba Walks can be a perfect tool for discovering, implementing, and deploying marketing and sales ideas and improvements. The Gemba Walk can fuel innovation and cycles of learning in marketing and sales processes. Just like in manufacturing, getting marketing and sales to work together in the Real Place to observe the Real Thing to get the Real Facts and Data can be a powerful way to drive results in your organization.
Business Development, Marketing and Sales managers will learn simple techniques based on Gemba concepts in this presentation. These techniques can substantially increase the success in any sales improvement effort or marketing project. Attendees will leave the presentation with ideas that will help coordinate and tie sales activities to marketing strategies.

The Trials and Tribulations of Creating a New Market Space – The ECS Story
The Trials and Tribulations of Creating a New Market Space – The ECS StoryISA Marketing & Sales Summit
Being first to market in the industrial automation space is no easy task, and involves creating new vocabulary, redefining technology territories and communicating technical messages in an easy to understand manner. Invensys faced this challenge head on In 2006 when they introduced InFusion ECS as the world’s first Enterprise Control System. InFusion ECS was part of a Blue Ocean marketing strategy by Invensys, which means to create new market space or a “blue ocean”, thereby making the competition irrelevant. Although the launch was successful, trying to create a new market space in an engineering-driven market presented some very interesting challenges. Among the greatest challenges included:
driving a business value proposition in an technology-focused segment – a shift from product features to business solutions
overcoming the devaluation of the technology itself as a commodity and demonstrating the huge potential value of automation/information technology overall to the business;
driving a human empowerment theme in a market where automation replaces human power;
driving a collaboration between accounting and engineering, two functions that do not see eye to eye
showing the value of instrument and control engineering to an audience that has diminished those skill sets to a thing of the past;
sales channel disconnects; and
market message targeting.
Dr. Martin will share the journey that Invensys took for the launch of InFusion ECS from a sales and marketing perspective. He will expose the challenges, barriers and pitfalls and Invensys’ ongoing diligence and their continued persistence to overcome them and to thrive in a difficult industrial automation marketplace.A FIreside Chat with Dick Morley
Dick Morley and Bruce Bower will discuss the New Hampshire view of Marketing & Sales. Covered will be the philosophy, mathematics and sociology summary of this conference. We will, over desert, tell stories about black swans, group statistics, mountain tops and Lady Gaga.The summary will be about money, your comfort zone and top down thinking.

What's In Your Big Data? Connecting the Dots in Your Sales Data to Drive Growth
What's In Your Big Data? Connecting the Dots in Your Sales Data to Drive GrowthISA Marketing & Sales Summit
What’s all the hype around big data? In a recent study, CapGemini reported that leveraging Big Data to solve business problems will deliver 41% improvement in overall business performance over the next three years. However, most companies are still struggling to figure out how to leverage this data.
Join Radhika Subramanian, CEO, Emcien Corp. and Julie Fraser, Principal, IYNO Advisors, to discover how product and marketing managers can tap the power of pattern-based analytics to improve visibility across the product line based on customer buying patterns. The analysis of product data – along with sales, revenue and cost information – improves strategic decision-making because it reveals exactly which configurations customers are actually buying, highly popular feature combinations by segment, and then automatically optimizes the product mix to satisfy the demand most profitably.
Sales and marketing managers can discover how they can leverage these optimal configurations to boost sales, bundle and promote products and services as well as reduce lead times. Leveraging big data to sense and shape demand is already serving as a major competitive advantage for companies in manufacturing, telecommunications, retail and distribution. To see how it’s being deployed across departmental silos, Ms. Subramanian will share case studies from NCR and AGCO.

Marketing After a Disaster
Presented by Marcus Tennant and Kyoko Fukuda of Yokogawa at the 7th Annual Marketing & Sales Summit.
Over the past 10 years there have been several tragic natural disasters that have occurred throughout the world. As the global economy becomes more connected through supply chains and information, what role does marketing have in helping customers and other stakeholders affected by the disaster? This presentation will discuss how Yokogawa responded to customers impacted by the Tohoku earthquake & tsunami.

How to Fortify and Grow Critical Accounts
Presented by Rick Reynolds of Ask Forensics at the 7th Annual Marketing & Sales Summit.
Did you know that many of your multi-million dollar strategic accounts could be at risk without you even knowing it? Sales and account forensics investigations into $3 billion worth of client accounts reveal that 79% of the profiled strategic accounts exceeding $15 million are “at risk”. In most cases companies are unaware of this, and it can cost millions of dollars in lost accounts each year. It’s like an undetected disease with huge implications. Losing one account can seriously impact bottom line performance, but the good news is, moving the needle in the positive direction will generate significant revenue and profit.
When you cut through all of the clutter, it boils down to one thing—service quality. This is customers’ most critical need and, for the most part, companies are effectively providing service quality. The question that should worry executives is: If on the surface we are doing well, then why are so many accounts “at risk”?
This presentation will address the often undetected, not-so-obvious cracks in client relationships that put critical client accounts “at risk.”

Building an Industrial Social Media Community
1) The document discusses developing an industrial social media community for Appleton, a brand of electrical products.

3) A strategy was created to build a non-branded community site for engineers and a branded Appleton blog to demonstrate expertise.
Social Media and the ROI Conundrum
Presented by Joel Don, Comm Strategies, at the 7th Annual Marketing & Sales Summit
The marketing and public relations industry continues to focus on developing solutions to meet the challenge of delivering valid program measurement and proof of ROI. Prior to social media, professionals relied on totaling column inches, estimating media impressions, counting mentions, eyeballs and visits, and proffering the highly controversial (and mostly discounted) advertising equivalency values. These approaches will continue to wane with the ongoing disruption of traditional media channels. The new media revolution coupled with the rapid growth of social platforms, tools and services (many at little or no cost) have ushered a new set of metrics into the ROI equation.
The presentation will review current thinking on measurement, and examine options and challenges to delivering valid social media ROI. From a budget perspective, analytical tools that are low cost or free will be compared to full-blown paid services such as Radian6 and Sysomos. The objective of the presentation is to enable marketing and communications professionals to implement measurement systems or approaches that can help an organization better understand how social media tools and strategies deliver results to the business bottom line. Examples will be offered from well-document ROI cases from large, recognized brands. Perhaps more important, the presentation will cover how lesser known small and medium-sized businesses can scale social media ROI to justify the implementation of customer engagement and conversation strategies.

How Prepared Are We for Customer 2.0?
By Juliann Grant, Telesian Technology
Customer 2.0 is calling! We have become so enamored with and caught up in the technology of Web 2.0, our PDA's, gadgets, and widgets that keep us connected and alive 24 hours a day to those around the world, that we forget at the core of it all, it must still be all about the customer.
We must not only use the timeliness and power of social media to broadcast our message to customers, but we need to use it to listen in order to learn what our customers are saying to each other and about us. The web have given customers immediate and almost limitless access to information on companies, products, and people, and realize it or not, we may not even be in the conversation! This is truly moving the "traditional" marketing and sales function towards irrelevance. We must realize that Customer 2.0 is embracing the "buying cycle" on their terms and no longer needs to wait on the "sales cycle".
The typical buyer is savvy, knowledgeable, and smart. Customer 2.0 demands that their web experience be fun, interactive, and social. They value professionalism over glitz. They want substance, not flash. They look to their peers to see what they are buying and want to do the same because they trust their experience. They talk to each other and in real time. Your misstep today is not only tomorrow's news, it is today's news as well.
How do we do this in the Automation and Engineering industry? We’re going to find out through with survey to uncover how well we are engaging with Customer 2.0. Do we speak their language? Are we connecting with them on their terms?
In this presentation, we will show how social media and the power of the web can be used to embrace Customer 2.0 in a meaningful, beneficial dialog that will help drive sales. A combination of case studies, customer interviews, surveys, and real social media encounters will be used to illustrate the power of the "new media" in marketing to Customer 2.0.
“The Day We Failed” Success Story by Rick Caldwell,SCADAware
The document summarizes the story of a company that developed a SCADA system for production monitoring over many years. After early installations showed improvements but lacked widespread acceptance, the company introduced an updated system. At the presentation, they realized manufacturers needed a response light for manual stations in addition to reporting software. The company quickly designed a light and controller, won a large $20 million contract, and saw production efficiencies improve by 20-40% at customer sites after installations. The lessons learned were to take a step back, look at the big picture of what customers truly need, and be ready to think outside the box to solve problems in new ways.

Transforming Local Best Practices to a Global Competence by Marcus Tennant an...ISA Marketing & Sales Summit
We have heard about “the global economy” and the impact on a global scale of decisions made centrally and “globalization” using global methods locally. Both of these terms use the word “global” in the sense of taking something from a central location or headquarters facility and rolling it out globally. But what about taking local best practices and leveraging them to customers and clients globally? In this workshop, we will look at how best practices can emerge locally but are often ignored in a global perspective due to their local origin. Many of these best practices are developed “below the radar” and work very well for a local market; however small changes or adaptations could make them of global significance. We will examine cases of local best practices and they were promoted to improve business performance globally. We will also look at things that can go wrong if this is not done correctly and finally, we will highlight ways that a company can discover and apply these practices.The Essentials of Webinars by George Buckbee, Expertune

Marketing & PR Food for Thought, Valerie Harding, Ripple Effect Communications
Marketing & PR Food for Thought, Valerie Harding, Ripple Effect CommunicationsISA Marketing & Sales Summit
We will share how to truly evaluate how well your company is marketing itself. When it comes down to actually evaluating PR initiatives, organizations aren't exactly sure. Marketing and PR is considered > intangible in terms of its ROI and associating an actual matrix to its value. Companies know that they need it but consider it a gray area when it comes to setting expectations for their in-house team as well as for their public relation agency, if they have one.
Here are just a few of the questions we will consider along with the importance of why we are considering them:
Is your company vision clearly mapped out for today and for future products and/or services as a context for all company communications?
Have you developed your company's key messages for each unique audience and defined competitive differentiators?
Are you utilizing a matrix to measure the overall success in communicating the company's key messages effectively?
Are you getting placements in at least 50% of relevant editorial opportunities? How do you know?
In producing third-party endorsements, customer testimonials, and success studies, how are you marketing them?
Are you actively seeking award opportunities? How many awards have you received so far this year?
Have you conducted a perception study to understand how your key constituents perceive your company?
We will provide a "How To" PR guide and explain the importance of measuring the results. PR performance measurement encompasses a measure of business value, of strategic alignment and of marketing efficiency. It can seem too abstract to fit easily into a concrete measurement like it does for sales but through our 10 plus years of PR experience, we definitely have seen the PR measurement matrix evolve. Our presentation will help organizations get a handle on setting PR expectations as well as how to successfully fulfill those expectations. We are excited to share with the group through our experience, industry research and customer stories on how organizations are able to evaluate what PR investments they should make along with how to measure their outcome and success.
Web 2.0 Strategies to Reach Vertical Markets by Jeff Cawley, Northwest Analyt...
Web 2.0 Strategies to Reach Vertical Markets by Jeff Cawley, Northwest Analyt...ISA Marketing & Sales Summit
Technical and engineering buyers live within vertical markets. The products and services are specialized as is the expertise used to specify, purchase and implement them. Effective marketing and sales methods will then focus on targeted narrowcasting methods with high information content. The industrial marketer will find the Web 2.0 model an excellent fit.
Successful outreach establishes the vendor’s expertise and credibility as a dependable resource for a successful project. Well developed topic specific content is critical to the task. The industrial marketer’s task is to identify the topics, produce the content and make it as visible and accessible as possible. The content should be presented at multiple events and in multiple formats that mutually reinforce each other. The goal is to use the Write Once, Publish Many principle to employ Web 2.0 to successfully reach Technical Customer 2.0.
A typical content creation sequence begins with developing technical conference or trade show platform presentations that can also be recorded as a screencast and then repurposed as articles, whitepapers, eBooks, etc. This video/audio/text content can then be published on the vendor’s site, trade press web sites, special interest blogs, and professional group sites.
Developing a webinar series is an effective next step. To be credible, the webinars should be more than product demos. The most effective approach is to choose a current industry topic that includes the industrial marketer’s product as part of the solution. This is a high value, low cost vehicle to establish credibility while getting quality attention and collecting qualified leads. The industrial marketer will do best to recruit speakers from professionals who are motivated by mutual benefit for presenting and establish a win- win partnership. Identifying motivation is critical. If it is not there, there will be poor cooperation and limited opportunity to develop useful alliances and gain leverage.
The cycle is repeated when this content is repurposed into videos, articles, white papers, etc. Social media provides the perfect tools for event promotion, content publication and distribution. Web 2.0 resources such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Blogs, and YouTube are used in an integrated campaign. The industrial marketer uses analytics to monitor the results and works to improve the process with each cycle.
The underlying case study is of a yearlong promotional effort focused on explaining a major topic in food processing, the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and ISO 22000 standards. The products being sold are process based analytics and quality information systems. Since these are part of the solution to successfully comply with GFSI, the webinar series positions the company and its offerings as solutions of choice. The company is positioned as a vendor who understands the larger issues and is a desirable project partner.

Stop Delivering Product Training and Start Delivering Product Sales Training
Stop Delivering Product Training and Start Delivering Product Sales TrainingISA Marketing & Sales Summit
The document discusses moving from product training to product sales training. It argues that product training is not successful because salespeople want to understand how to sell the product, not just learn about it. The document outlines three keys to effective product sales training: 1) Support the sales cycle by thinking like a salesperson, 2) Eliminate the "leap of faith" by proving the value of the product, and 3) Provide situational access by making training easy to access. It then provides examples of how to develop a product sales training index that incorporates elements like market analysis, features/benefits, proofs, how it works, and support to help salespeople understand and sell the value of the product.Aligning Marketing With the Buying Process
1. The document discusses understanding the industrial buying cycle by outlining key stages and research findings on how industrial buyers purchase products and services.
2. It provides an overview of the typical long buying cycle for industrial purchases and that many decision makers and information sources are involved at different stages.
3. The document recommends aligning marketing content and strategies with the different buying cycle stages and using multiple media sources to be found frequently by buyers throughout the process.
Taking Your Search Marketing
The document discusses taking search marketing to the next level. It provides information on search engine market shares, with Google having 65.8% of US searches. It discusses how search and social media are converging, with participation on social media becoming crucial for success. It also outlines strategies for generating keyword-rich content, including finding content internally from employees and externally from industry sites, and ways to optimize content for search engine rankings and conversions. The document concludes by discussing Google's real-time search capabilities and the future of search shifting to an "real-time information provider" model.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.What is an RPA CoE?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
