Four years ago, The Challenger Sale overturned decades of conventional wisdom with a bold new approach to sales. Now our latest research reveals something even more surprising: Being a Challenger seller is not enough. Your success or failure also depends on who you challenge. To win today, you need a Challenger inside the customer organization, a Mobilizer. CEB will reveal what high-performing B2B teams grasp that their average-performing peers don't. Now that big, complex deals increasingly require consensus among a wide range of players across the organization, the limiting factor is rarely the salesperson's inability to connect to any one individual stakeholder. It's far more often their inability to connect them to each other. Join Brent Adamson, Principal Advisor for CEB and co-author of The Challenger Sale. Brent facilitates a wide range of executive-level discussions around the world for Fortune 500/Global 1000 executives in sales, marketing, and customer service.

Does your organization suffer from Shiny Object Syndrome? This is the tendency to pursue every idea that seems good without prioritizing, seeing it through to a reasonable return on investment, or deciding to abandon it when it doesn’t deliver. Sound familiar?

Empathizing with your customers - The role it plays in product strategyConnie (Wang) Steele
"Why would somebody use this product, and what is the circumstance under which they're trying to make a decision? How did they become aware that they have a problem that they need to solve, and then when they do that, where do they look for solutions, and how they do they assess whether or not a solution is good for them?”
These questions are critical for any good product leader to understand and subsequently address. It’s foundational to your product strategy. And at the end of the day, you need to ensure you create value for your customer.
It’s important to take the time to get into the head of your target customer. When organizations assume they already know what has to be done, they can ultimately lose sight of why these product experiences are being created in the first place.
But it’s important not to forget that your internal stakeholders are your customers too. The nature of your role as a product leader requires you to know a bit about all the other cross-functional areas in order to ultimately deliver value to them as well.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
