The top reasons for joining included the opportunity to work across domains and functions (27.3%), work on latest technologies (25.7%), and for better salary (36.6%). However, the worst fears in joining a startup included stability (30.2%) and unclear roles and responsibilities (30.1%).

Ten quick slides...The highlights of Hacking Work by Bill Jensen and Josh Klein, "One of 2010's Top Ten Breakthrough Ideas" — Harvard Biz Review
Legal departments are under ever-increasing pressure to do more, to do it better, and to do it faster — but these things can’t happen without a motivated team. If you want your employees to stay focused, productive, and inspiring as their workload increases, you have to prioritize the sense of pride they take in their work.
[CXL Live 16] Beyond Test-by-Test Results: CRO Metrics for Performance & Insi...CXL
Individual tests drive insights & ROI, but the most sophisticated optimizers look beyond what an individual test is telling them and use data to optimize their overall testing performance.
In this talk, Claire will dive into the specifics of how to track, improve, and drive insight from performance metrics for your conversion program, so you can not only run better tests, but get more out of your investment in CRO.
Keynote Ton Wesseling at the Web Analytics Wednesday Copenhagen #wawcph at Se...Online Dialogue
Ton was asked to talk about things that get him excited as a web analyst looking at conversion rate optimization. He picked 5 things:
- The real fun part of web analytics is analyzing how user behavior is changing (analyzing experiments), not creating campaign reports...
- Win: inject your website feedback form responses into your analytics and be able to segment behavior based on goals.
- Run your experiments with an automated and free GTM / GA / EXCEL results set-up!
- To make sure business gets it: apply Bayesian statistics on experiment results, don't report on P values, confidence levels etc.
- Bandit algoritms: use www.smartnotifications.com for automated persuasive messaging on your website.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Zomato, a food discovery site that is transforming the global restaurant business and that is a member of the WSJ’s billion dollar startup club. Not only does it connect users and restaurants, it is also helping restaurants manage their finances, food and equipment orders, and design restaurants. Its core business is helping users find, book, and evaluate restaurants and helping restaurants advertise their services to users and accept bookings. However, the global network that Zomato is building of users and restaurants is enabling Zomato to extend its business into all aspects of F&B.
