Build a Winning Conversion Optimization StrategySavage Marketing
By Srikant Kotapalli – VWO
AB Testing has traditionally been one of the most commonly used methods to boost conversion rates. Many marketers have since used it tactically, that gets them some early wins but are unable to convert it into repeatable success. Building an effective optimization strategy needs an in-depth understanding of user behaviour, adopting a structured framework and constantly measuring and improving upon the results. This session will walk you through everything you need to know to transform your AB testing into a winning optimization engine.

Becoming a True Experimentation Organization to Drive InnovationOptimizely
When it comes to innovation, managers must operate in a world where past experiences and historical data are not reliable predictors of future success of new ideas. Fortunately, they can now discover whether new products, customer experiences or business models will succeed by subjecting them to rigorous experiments. Never before has it been so economically feasible to run large-scale testing programs. In this presentation, Professor Thomke will show how unleashing this power at large-scale and high-velocity unlocks innovation and drives digital competitiveness. Based on his experience working with leading companies, Professor Thomke will share concrete advice on how to get executive buy-in and take steps towards becoming a true experimentation organization.

Optimizely & Photobox - DON'T PANIC: The No-Confusion Experimentation Startup...Optimizely
How do you know where to start with experimentation? What if you don’t have enough information, or simply too much to decide where to begin and where to invest your time/effort/money?
In this breakout session we will cover how to cut the BS by treating experimentation as an “internal services startup”, where the customers are the teams in your business: commercial, trading, marketing, product, SEO etc.
You wouldn’t start a startup by hiring a bunch of people without a tool or an idea to work on, or buy an office or expensive work management solution for a startup of 3 people without developing a product and taking it to market first. So why treat experimentation that way?
Evolving Performance Management Within the New World of WorkHuman Capital Media
Will you advocate for or against abandoning reliance on the annual performance review? There are many reasons talent management professionals are debating this topic – with research indicating that people’s strengths generate their best performance and are responsible for the most improvement in their performance outcomes. It is well understood at the formal annual report card does not create value equivalent to the resources invested to carry out the process. We know employees have a strong desire for real-time feedback in their search of meaningful work. So how do we make solving these challenges the central focus to creating value through performance management?
The opportunity to achieve objectives meaningful to the organization and the employee are further complicated by the gig economy. As employees move in and out and within the organization, leaders must find ways to quickly ramp up the relationship and trust while putting greater emphasis on the integration of performance conversations and personal development. Coaching skills of leaders must be honed to ensure engagement and productivity between and among teams. The presence of freelance workers within the organization amplifies the need for leaders to quickly articulate expectations of the job and host insightful conversations, drive strategy execution by delivering feedback and development opportunities, and gather and share the most detailed view of available talent.
Webcast Highlights:
Why on-going feedback and coaching is crucial for accelerating performance for all types of employment arrangements
How internal mobility and development are highly dependent upon performance management efforts aligned to strategic business objectives and relevant processes
What new processes can create transparency, fuel future performance based on strengths, or predict future performance levels
Learn the real best practices and pitfalls of experimentation based on scientific research and insights. Hazjier is co-author of three studies on experimentation with Harvard Business School and his work is covered in the book Experimentation Works. This talk will dive into the best practices of experiment design, the role of hierarchy in experimentation teams, and the value of experimentation.
Optimizely & FedEx - Setting North-Star Metrics to Drive ROI from Experimenta...Optimizely
Managing a large-scale testing program comes with its own unique set of challenges. As a leader, you are further removed from the actual experiments and more focused on the high-level approach. Your teams have different motivations and objectives that take effort to keep aligned. And it is hard to have the helicopter view on the program. Which teams are over and underperforming? What is the value that the entire experimentation program generated?
In this session, we will describe how leaders can create an organization that is aligned around a common North-Star metric that drives experimentation ROI and cascades down to individual team objectives. We will also discuss how to set up the experimentation workflow and metrics to create robust program-level and ROI reporting for other stakeholders.

Big Data has been a "buzz word" for a few years now, and it's generated a fair amount of hype. But, while the technology landscape is still evolving, product companies in the software, web, and hardware areas have actually led the way in delivering real value from data sources like weblogs, sensors, and social media as well as systems like Hadoop, NoSQL, and Analytical Databases. These organizations have built "Big Data Apps" that leverage fast, flexible data frameworks to solve a wide array of user problems, scale to massive audiences, and deliver superior predictive intelligence.
Join this webinar to learn why product managers should understand Big Data and hear about real-life products that have been elevated with these innovative technologies. You will hear from:

This survey takes the temperature of the Quality Industry 2016, identifying trends and listening to your opinions on the most pressing issues facing Quality. Never before have Quality professionals encountered such pressure in balancing and prioritising various organisational demands such as:
Hitting KPIs despite a lack of resource and tighter deadlines.
Identifying new opportunities for process improvement.
Complying to evolving Standards and regulations.
Aggregating data from a multitude of data sources.
As technology evolves alongside developing regulatory requirements, so does the role of the Quality professional. It’s time to ask, how do you compare with others in your industry?
The 10th annual State of Agile™ survey makes it clear that agile software development has grown increasingly popular over the last decade. Participation in the survey has grown more than three-fold. In 2006, there were fewer than a thousand respondents to the survey, while the latest survey had 3,880.
Agile methodologies are no longer solely the domain of startups and small development shops. In 2006, nearly two-thirds of the survey respondents said they worked in software organizations with fewer than 100 people. By 2015, nearly two-thirds of the respondents said they worked for software organizations with more than 100 people, and 31% said they worked for software organizations with more than 1,000 people.
The number of large enterprises that are embracing agile continues to increase each year. More than 24% of the
respondents worked for organizations with over 20,000 employees, compared to 21% last year.
Agile is going global as the number of enterprises around the world adopt agile. The number of respondents that worked for organizations in Europe increased from 21% to 26%. In addition, 18% of the respondents worked in Asia, South America, Oceania, and Africa.
The pool of talent and agile experience continues to grow annually. Once again there was an increase in the number of respondents who said they were ‘very’ to ‘extremely’ knowledgeable about agile, an increase from 58% in 2014 to 63% in 2015.
While 95% of the respondents said their organizations practice agile, only 1% of the 3,880 respondents said that their agile implementation was unsuccessful.

Mind the Gap: State of Employee Engagement 2017Saba Software
Most organizations agree that talent is their most important asset, and the critical importance of developing, engaging and retaining employees is nothing new to HR leaders. But the results of Saba’s 2017 State of Employee Engagement Survey reveal that most businesses are not in tune with their employees. For example, nearly two-thirds of employees don’t believe they have an effective platform to engage with the business and share their input. Just 22% of employees say their organizations are very effective in providing easy access to training and development. And over half of employees feel performance reviews are ineffective when it comes to improving their personal performance.

Unleashing the Power of Analytics: Driving Performance at the Intersection of...Human Capital Media
Performance analytics is a data-driven approach used to optimize how organizations manage and deploy learning and development that supports execution of business strategy. How are learning organizations today using data? How do they define and determine relevant analytics? Is there a critical shortage of analytics skills in the learning function? What outcomes are organizations realizing from their efforts when deploying performance analytics to drive learning and development (L&D)? Finally, how do we link learning analytics and business analytics to produce performance data that really deliver results?
In this session, we will share the results of a proprietary research conducted with hundreds of CLOs , in partnership with Human Capital Media, that delved into these questions… and more. We will shed light on best practices being employed and the challenges for learning leaders.
Learning Objectives:
Identify best practices and gaps in the adoption of analytics by learning organizations
Understand the difference and impact of learning analytics vs Performance analytics
Examine how analytics can transform strategy and outcomes for the learning function

A rundown of the key findings and overall themes of InvestmentNews' flagship adviser technology benchmarking study, addressing the driving factors behind how and why firms invest in technology, the factors they weigh the closest in making those key decisions, and the strategies they implement to better their firms.
InvestmentNews Research collected firm-level data from over 300 independent advisory firms in December 2014 - January 2014. Firms submitted truncated P&L data, including measures of operating expenses, profits, revenue, assets, client and staff. "Top Performers", or the most profitable and productive firms, and "Innovators", the firms who utilized the most technology at their firms, were identified as cohorts used to benchmark the industry.
What we know as “#outsourcing” has been around in one form or another for decades, and so have the predictions of its demise, but it keeps adapting to changing business environments. Today, #outsourcing is not only alive, and well, but it is #growing, and #changing. The results of the #2016GlobalOutsourcingSurvey, which compiled 280 responses representing organizations from across the globe, show that #outsourcing not only continues to expand across mature functions, such as IT, #HR, and #Finance, but it also continues to move into non-traditional functions, such as #Realestate, #FacilitiesManagement, and #Procurement. But, this isn’t the most intriguing part of the story: #Outsourcing is #reinventing itself. Respondents increasingly see #outsourcing as a vital way to drive innovation into the enterprise. In other words, it is increasingly a means of potentially attaining, and maintaining competitive advantage—and not just a way to cut costs.
