Digital Content NewFronts: Video Ad Spend Study 2014Ho Nguyen
The survey of 297 buy-side executives conducted by the research firm Advertiser Perceptions uncovered a prevailing optimism around digital video, with nearly two-thirds of advertisers (65%) anticipating that they will spend more on digital video advertising in the next year than they did in 2013. This comes in contrast to TV advertising, with two-thirds of respondents saying that they will help pay for their digital video increases by shifting funds from television. Additionally, almost half (48%) of respondents think the increase in their digital video spend will be backed in part by an overall expansion in ad budgets.
ValueClick Media's Director of Video Strategy, Dan Alexander, offers four tips for cross-platform marketers to maximize their digital video ROI. Before digital video, TV was one of the few visual mediums where advertisers knew that when they bought air time, they were getting a specific audience, at a precise time, for a determined spend. While navigating the current video landscape can be unnerving for both traditional and digital marketers – often unsure of what they are getting in return for their time and spend – digital video is where top brands are progressively allocating their advertising budgets.
Now is the time to grow your video comfort zone to meet increasing demand. Learn the 4 essential questions to ask your video ad provider.

A very extensive Quantitative Master Questionnaire on Employee Satisfaction and Corporate Culture, destined to be used as a buffet of sorts - according to the needs and priorities of every Organization. Based on Academic Research and personal experience through the years. Designed to produce easy segmentations.
This presentation provides a framework for product managers and C-level executives to discuss and prioritise their product investments. Maintaining a practical focus, it condenses highlights from McKinsey's three horizons model and more recent successors developed by academics at Wharton and MIT.
The most comprehensive definition of internal audit is given by the IIA, USA. It is,
"Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes."
The purpose of the presentation is to provide clarification for a better understanding of what internal audit definition, objectives, functions, stages and reporting are all about? What difference does it make in the presence of an external audit? How different is its scope from that of the external audit? How internal audit standards contribute to better performance of internal audit work and its reporting to the Board or Audit Committee?

Women Matter 2012: Making the breakthrough, examines the gender-diversity programs of 235 large European companies. The report investigates what initiatives companies are taking, what is working well or less well, and why.
The research found that most companies are now taking gender diversity issues extremely seriously, devoting real resources to redressing the gender imbalance. But many companies also expressed frustration that their efforts do not always create the expected impact.
Companies that want to turn excellent customer experience into growth need to master Customer Journeys. Customer Journeys (the set of interactions a customer has with a brand to complete a task) and less moments of truth are what matter for a customer. Companies that master not only see an improvement in customer experience, loyalty, and operational productivity; they also see above-market growth.

Our EVP Americas, Sefy Ariely spoke about "OTT: Have it your way" at NexTV Summit 2014.

As long as the key ingredients are in place, you can prepare it your way, to suit your business and your customers. In our session, we will discuss what those key ingredients are and review a few case studies of operators who are successfully doing it their way.

How to design stuff that matters fast - Dev Week 2014Eewei Chen
Too much time is wasted creating that big design upfront, only to find that users don't like what you have built once it has been released. Today, we are in danger of not only over-designing, but also designing solutions to the wrong problems. In this workshop, Chen will demonstrate how to experiment with rapid design techniques to ensure design solutions for the right business problems are delivered to the right target audiences rapidly and continuously. He will show how to create design solutions fast, as a team, and how to work with a client to get products that really matter out into market early. Good design involves elegantly solving problems despite the constraints. More often than not, time is one of those constraints. In this workshop you will be forced to think and act quickly, exploring how to quickly work as a team to address a real-world problem; rapidly analysing customer, industry and business trends, behaviours and needs to validate ideas; and learning how to apply the latest design thinking, Lean Startup, Lean UX and agile methodologies, to bring your prototype to life and ensure it is as useful as it can possibly be.
Stupid Is As Stupid Does by Eewei Chen, UX Scotland 2014Eewei Chen
Smart devices support our physical, emotional and financial well being; connecting digital and real world experiences to improve who we are as human beings.
But are we in danger of losing our souls when we swap the need to think for ourselves for complex algorithmic analyses that tell us what to do or even go as far as do it for us without us knowing?
My talk highlights how UX designers have a philosophical, spiritual and ethical responsibility to find solutions to problems that improve the way we currently exist without losing who we are as human beings.
Many companies, in their haste to be first to market, forget the value of good early, strategic design thinking when creating a product or service. This results in mediocrity, and ultimately leads to an unloved brand experience where consumers become fickle and disloyal. Now, whether leading a design team, sitting on the board of directors or starting up a company, UX practitioners have made their way back up the value chain and have been re-empowered to make decisions that really can change the world.
This talk and workshop helps you get into the right mindset and apply techniques that prove the enormous value of UX at a strategic level.
Strategic UX - Rapid experience strategy techniques to help businesses succee...Eewei Chen
Many companies, in their haste to be first to market, forget the value of good early, strategic design thinking when creating a product or service. This results in mediocrity, and ultimately leads to an unloved brand experience where consumers become fickle and disloyal. Now, whether leading a design team, sitting on the board of directors or starting up a company, UX practitioners have made their way back up the value chain and have been re-empowered to make decisions that really can change the world.
My talk talk centers on the fact strategic design is critical to the success of the business and pulls together his insights and leanings to help set those brave enough to take on this responsibility in the right direction. I also talk about how to straddle the cross roads and actively connect that emotional relationship between the business and design.
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man. This is the journey a designer or usability tester takes when they engage with real end users and give them a new design to test and get feedback from.

they already have (i.e. what they own, use,
consume)
• COMFORTABLE– Observational and
participative rather than interrogative or
evaluative
• The family-setting is a realistic approach as TV
