Combining Digital Media and Customer Interactions for “Connected CRM”SFIMA
From the SFIMA April 12, 2012 Event - Combining Digital Media and Customer Interactions for “Connected CRM”
http://www.facebook.com/events/322428881144597/
http://www.sfima.com
------------------------------------
Marketing over the years has evolved from the “age of brand,” with the advent of television in the 1950s; to the “age of channel,” with the development of e-commerce in the 1990s; to today’s “age of the customer,” fueled by empowered consumers who have countless tools at their fingertips to help them make decisions. The most important factor affecting the way we market to consumers today is the digitalization of media and channels – and the resulting proliferation of customer touchpoints. Key to the success of any customer-centric marketing strategy is the ability to integrate the online and offline data from these interactions in an effective manner to optimize the customer experience and create greater customer value.
David Williams discusses how organizations can gain sustainable competitive advantage through building customer strategy as a business strategy. The concept of connected CRM represents a systematic way to identify, serve and retain high-value customers better than competitors by delivering customer interactions that improve financial results, create competitive advantage and drive shareholder value.
In this session, Williams introduces the skills necessary to implement a connected CRM strategy, which is built upon an organizational commitment to customer-centricity. The integration of these skills enables marketing strategies that maximize the value of the customer portfolio.
David is a frequent contributor to the Forbes Magazine blog, and has served on the Direct Marketing Association board of directors. In addition Mr. Williams is the president and CEO of Merkle Inc.
BSI team recommends technologies from Teradata Aster and Aprimo, a Teradata company, for better marketing via event-based Marketing, GoldenPath Analytics, and Attribution/Digital Marketing Optimization.
Smartphones are changing customer and staff behavior. Information needs to be aware from everywhere, at anytime, and from any device. But don't do random acts of mobile - consider instead the strategic role of mobile for your staff and customers.

Adapting to a post-Covid world means recession-proofing your contact center with AI that reduces reliance on live agents with virtual agents that are always on, perfectly trained, and at a fraction of the cost. Most companies looking to ditch a "Press 1" experience struggle with where to start and how to infuse natural language into their existing technology stack. Join this webinar with TechStyle Fashion Group who recession-proofed their contact center with personalized and frictionless experiences to customers who prefer self-service. Also joining is SmartAction who manages the AI-powered CX for more than 100 brands.
Keynote: why are Innovations critical for Banks & Insurances?
A perspective on the Financial Services industry: the amount of changes will only accelerate.
- Exponential technologies are driving change; convergence of several disciplines from software to devices to biotech
- Our expectations as consumers are set by our online experience from services such as Facebook, Google or Amazon
- Disruption pattern: startups put themselves in-between the customer and the company
(i.e. check24)
- Industry changes leading to further FinTech & InsureTech investments
- Margin pressure: banks & insurrance by the lowest interest rates we have seen in 2.000 years
- User Experience is driving value in a new way – and most startups understand customer-centricity
- Banks & Insurance companies are under pressure because their offering is fundamentally undifferentiated
- Regulators are opening up: i.e. PSD II forces the banks to open up their data; full disclosure of insurance commissions will arrive soon
- Customers don’t want to be ‘told’ anymore: they don’t come to branches anymore - buy how can advice as the key point of sales be digitized?
Banks need to build up digital capabilities based on 5 pillars plus 1 enabling capability:
(1) DATA-DRIVEN DIGITAL INSIGHTS
- Data-driven segmentation & Value Proposition Design
- 360° single customer view
- Customer Experience excellence
- Comprehensive data ecosystem, including 3rd party APIs
(2) CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EXCELLENCE
- Customer-centric experience design & processes
- Omni-channel experience delivery
- Journey consistent front-to-back, end2end
- Clear brand positioning & brand amplified by a purpose
(3) DIGITAL MARKETING
- Data-driven, real-time segmentation & cohort analysis
- Data-driven customer- life-cycle management
- Targeted digital (performance) marketing
(4) DIGITALLY ENABLED OPERATIONS
- Operations are designed to support customer journeys
- Streamlined and automated fulfillment processes
- Digitized sales and service interactions
(5) SMART TECHNOLOGY SETUP
- Scalable application architecture
- Flexible IT architecture (i.e. SOA) with clear messaging
- Flexible IT infrastructure
(6) DIGITAL ENABLERS
- Digital Talent Management
- Value-driven Organisation & governance
- Test-and-learn culture

Setting the Customer's Journey: Walk a Mile In Your Customer's ShoesAggregage
Product professionals use phrases like "voice of the customer," and "user experience" so often that it can be easy to lose sight of their actual meanings. This phrase blur is dangerous, as it can pull our attention from what should be our real focus: our our customers' and users' needs. How can we, as product professionals, learn to keep customers and users at the heart of our work?
Join Steven Haines, globally recognized thought leader and author, as he guides us through a memorable journey demonstrating how you can walk a mile in your customer's shoes. He'll explore how, by developing true empathy for your users, you can ensure you're creating the features and products they actually want.

The activity of using methods, skills and tools to understand user engagement with a website is called a UX Audit.
Even in case this was done at the time of website development, it could not have included future traffic behaviour or change in design trends and optimisation techniques.
Per this article on Forbes, every dollar invested in improving UX has multifold returns. Good design is just good business.

Description:
How is it that b-to-b marketers have more data sources than ever before, but many are still in the dark about how to reach more of the right prospects? Sometimes the sheer volume of data can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, with the right processes, skills and tools, many companies are transforming their approach to demand creation and letting data do the work for them.
Marketers need to make decisions in a data-rich environment, where vast amounts of customer data are flowing not only from the company’s internal systems such as CRM, marketing automation and web analytics, but also from external sources such as social, mobile, and other sources that can be found all over the web. But how do you separate the good data that signify buying signals from the noise found in the rest of the data? And what new skills and processes bring them to life?
In this dynamic session, we’ll hear from thought leaders from LinkedIn, SiriusDecisions and Mintigo on the best strategies for taking a data-driven approach to marketing. They will address key considerations and best practices to answer essential questions around:
-How the explosion of big data and emerging predictive technologies is transforming the marketing discipline
-Examples of marketers at leading companies are effectively utilizing big data & predictive analytics
-Recommendations for preparing your marketing team to become a data-driven organization
The Speakers:
- Russ Glass, Head of Products at LinkedIn
- Megan Heuer, VP & Group Director, Data-Driven Marketing at SiriusDecisions
- John Bara, President & CMO at Mintigo

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

14. HOW WE STARTED
After building expertise in designing,
developing and launching Telstra Air, a globally
awarded product for Telstra, the founder
wanted to expand their impact by striking out
on their own.
In 2017, and over the next coming years, they
started on a product development journey to
help small and medium business solve their
financial accounting challenges.
How did it all start?
ADOPTION OF CLOUD
We began to notice that cloud adoption was
increasing despite an ecosystem that was
fragmented into closed and open-source solutions
offered on one or two cloud platforms.
Fintech industry evolved over the decade giving
power back to customers to control and make wise
decisions. Drive to bring down costs, requirement to
be mobile and easily adoptable helped shape our
architecture.
ASPIRATION
We wowed to create a product that customers
love, want to use and is easy to understand.
