“Empowering Consumers with Experiences That Drive Profits” Jeff Molander at L...Jeff Molander
Just when marketers thought it was safe to employ mainstream digital strategies an increasing number of hyper-connected customers are changing the game with social media – bypassing strategies like search and email marketing altogether! They’re choosing non-traditional paths to discover products and services. This presentation gives a hype-free look at what’s driving today’s ’social’ shift and understanding how to adapt existing marketing and business models to drive results. Here, I discuss why customers are hungry for experiences– not just products/services and how successful marketers are converting into publishers. I show you how to build a business case for or against social marketing investments.

Data fuels every marketer’s strategy, but not all data is created equal. To be successful today, marketers need to be able to effectively analyze, optimize and maintain data accuracy as the first steps to gaining true insight. This is particularly true for account-based programs, where visibility into key decision makers is imperative. As the saying goes, “Garbage in, garbage out.” If the data going into your CRM is incomplete, incorrect or simply not the right data, any programs that rely on that data will deliver disappointing results.
During this webinar, David Cowings, Chief Marketing Data Scientist at RingCentral, and Chris Lynde, CEO of SaleScout Data Solutions, will share the steps needed to optimize buyer contact data and sales intelligence, with real-life insights from RingCentral’s demand gen data optimization process.

Creating an Interactive Content Strategy that Works with Technologyion interactive
Scott Brinker's presentation from 2016 ContentTech Virtual Event:
Designing Interactive Content to Power Your Marketing Data Strategy
Interactive content—things such as quizzes, assessments, calculators, and configurators—is qualitatively different than the passive content that audiences simply read, watch, or listen to. Interactive content experiences are essentially miniature software programs, or web apps, which have logic and user experience wrapped into their design and operation. Most importantly, they give marketers the ability to collect and leverage a rich set of data that is explicitly volunteered by participants.
Marketers can design interactive content with this data in mind to develop a broader marketing data strategy. This presentation covers frameworks for both the user-facing options that marketers
can apply, to solicit the right kind of data from prospects at different stages of the buyer's journey, and the back-office management of this data through different marketing automation platforms (MAP) and CRM systems.
Topics include:
- Managing explicit "digital dialogue" data vs. implicit "digital body language"
- Applying advanced progressive profiling tactics in interactive content
- Pipelining richer data profiles from marketing to sales through your marketing stack
- Understanding scenarios for programmatic data vs. human-consumable data

In 2017, links are still the overwhelming markers for authority in local search results (and results of all kinds). In this session, you’ll learn why David and Aaron believe that links will make way for entity authority as the overarching ranking factor in local search, and some of the signals Google is using even today that contribute to this concept.
To succeed in the Engagement Economy, marketers will need to recalibrate to deliver value, not volume, for their customers - listening, learning and leveraging customer insights to drive personalized experiences at scale.

THE DATAFICATION OF TALENT MANAGEMENT: HOW PEOPLE ANALYTICS LEADS TO STRATEGI...Human Capital Media
According to Bersin by Deloitte’s HR Technology Disruptions for 2018 report: people analytics is now “a must-have domain within HR.”
The global economic recovery, compounded by demographic shifts, has moved power from employers to employees, turning talent into a seller’s market. As a result, the workforce is increasingly a core strategic consideration and top concern of the C-suite. Yet the most commonly monitored talent metrics do very little to deliver true insight into the workforce and its impact on the business–and Talent Management’s readiness to report more than basic metrics remains a serious issue.
Talent Management needs to graduate from metrics to people analytics–from information that only guides tactics to insights that drive strategy–and discover the important connections and patterns in their data that enable better workforce decisions. Join expert Dave Weisbeck as he discusses how Talent Management can use people analytics to achieve strategic excellence and play a more critical role in driving business performance than ever before.
In this informative webinar, Dave will show you how to transform your Talent Management, ramping up from basic operational reporting to strategic people analytics and workforce planning.
Topics will include:
Global and technological trends shaping the Datafication of Talent Management
How Talent Management can move up the people analytics maturity curve
What impact the advent of the people strategy platform plays in analytics maturity
Practical examples of how to graduate from metrics to people analytics in:
Recruiting Effectiveness
Performance Management
Talent Retention
Comp & Benefits
Workforce Costs
Common pitfalls to avoid with people analytics
Register for this engaging webinar to learn the ins and outs of the datafication of Talent Management and what impact it has your organization.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
A "File Trademark" is a legal term referring to the registration of a unique symbol, logo, or name used to identify and distinguish products or services. This process provides legal protection, granting exclusive rights to the trademark owner, and helps prevent unauthorized use by competitors.
