This document summarizes a study on the costs and benefits of content marketing compared to paid search marketing. The study analyzed data from over 94 publishers on the Kapost Content Marketing Platform. It found that content marketing produces 3 times more leads per dollar than paid search marketing and has a positive ROI. Effective content marketing requires a content plan, organizing roles like editors and contributors, and managing content production as an ongoing business process rather than a one-time campaign.

This document discusses the need for companies to change their approach to lead management by making the process more effective.

It also states that the majority of lead nurturing responsibility still falls to overburdened sales teams. The document argues that for companies to keep up with changing buyer expectations, the entire lead generation to revenue process needs to be optimized with a focus on metrics, marketing accountability, and improved lead nurturing practices.

EFFICIENT IMAGE COMPRESSION USING LAPLACIAN PYRAMIDAL FILTERS FOR EDGE IMAGESijcnac
This project presents a new image compression technique for the coding of retinal and
fingerprint images. Retinal images are used to detect diseases like diabetes or
hypertension. Fingerprint images are used for the security purpose. In this work, the
contourlet transform of the retinal and fingerprint image is taken first. The coefficients of
the contourlet transform are quantized using adaptive multistage vector quantization
scheme. The number of code vectors in the adaptive vector quantization scheme depends
on the dynamic range of the input image.

Five Epic Content Marketing Essentials to Know - Content Connections #acrolinxccJoe Pulizzi
Presentation by Joe Pulizzi for the Acrolix Content Connections conference that covers five key essentials to content marketing - including multiple case studies and tips for effective content marketing for businesses.
Regional innovation program operating model strawman v1Eric Tachibana
This document is a Request for Comment.
By way of background, the document came about as I was preparing to teach a course on “Organizing for Innovation” in an MBA class called “Technological Innovation.”
As I was reading through the material, it occurred to me that I was having a hard time finding practical advice on how one would realistically setup a holistic Innovation Program. There was lots of, “best practice advice”, but little concrete models.
In the field, I’d seen several companies try to roll out Innovation Programs, but because they only focused on one small part (such as Ideation), the programs ultimately failed to deliver real business results. My hypothesis was that you cannot run a Corporate Entrepreneurship program piecemeal, it needs to be holistic.
So the basic question is: Suppose you had to build the ideal holistic innovation program from the ground up for a large company / MNC. At some point, you would need to define a tangible operating model with specific streams of work against which, you would staff actual people. The Operating Model would need to cover the scope of the functions and a set of activities to deliver against goals over Period X. So what would the Operating Model look like?
This deck is a strawman.
PS: I also happen to be in Asia Pacific, so my context is a regional organization in a global MNC.

How Webinars Save You Time, Money and carbon Emissonsmichaelmadsen
This document discusses how webinars and remote collaboration tools can save time, money, and reduce carbon emissions. It provides examples of how companies have used webinar technologies in strategic ways to expand their business globally in a more cost effective manner through remote training and collaboration instead of business travel. Webinars allow companies to engage and influence large numbers of customers and prospects while reducing costs associated with travel. Once companies experience the benefits, they often adopt these tools more widely across their organizations.
How Webinars Save You Time, Money and carbon Emissonsmichaelmadsen
Webinars and remote collaboration tools can save organizations time, money, and carbon emissions in several ways:
1) They reduce costs associated with business travel such as flights, hotels, meals and lost productivity.
2) They allow companies to expand their global reach more quickly and at lower cost by demonstrating products and conducting trainings remotely.
3) They enable organizations to foster a "learning organization" culture and standardize processes by recording webinars and meetings for future reference.
4) When used to replace in-person meetings and trainings, webinars can significantly reduce an organization's carbon footprint by cutting back on air travel.
