Get deployed! Many Analytics Teams have experience with building what seems like a great model–valid, predictive, powerful–only to see disappointing or even no business impact. Some models are not deployed, or take so long to deploy their accuracy is lost. Even deployed models are often not used effectively.
What can you do? Learn the 5 questions to ask before deploying your model.
This webinar focuses on business rules and on Business Rules Management Systems as a platform for Decision Management Systems. You will learn how a Business Rules Management System makes the agility and transparency you need possible and what the key components are for an effective Business Rules Management System. The power of business rules to support both policy and analytic rules and the role of decisions in effective business rules solutions will also be discussed.
These principles demonstrate IBM’s continued and expanded support for open standards, as well as the importance they hold for our customers. We are strengthening our commitment to open standards and the value they bring to all.

Psion Teklogix' 8 January statement prepared by Marcus Casadei, Marketing Creative Lead, and entitled "PSION STARTS PROCESS OF AFFIRMING ‘NETBOOK’ TRADEMARKS", in which they maintain that their trademarks are enforceable despite conceding that "in recent years the extent of use has been somewhat reduced". They have ruled out selling or licensing the mark, wishing "to be free to use it on [their] future products" at the exclusion of all others, and are currently calling for 'transition to a different descriptive term over a 3 month term'. They note that the term "could become [generic] soon if retailers (and others) persist in calling these devices 'netbooks'" and plead for "responsible
retailers and manufacturers" to "understand that it is wrong for them to contribute to, and be complicit in, making a registered trademark generic", asking them "as a matter of principle" to "respect [their] trademarks".

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
