Digital Influence is one of the hottest trends in social media, yet is largely misunderstood.
This webinar, expanding upon Brian's recent report, will discuss in greater detail what digital influence is and how businesses can leverage it to their advantage.
How does influence spread online? How does it cause effect? What are the possible outcomes, and how can they be measured? Brian will answer these questions and others, as well as discuss a clear Action Plan to help businesses capitalize on Digital Influence.
Brian's report, The Rise of Digital Influence, is available on the Altimeter Group website at: altimetergroup.com/research/reports/the-rise-of-digital-influence.
Delivering the “Internal Customer” ExperienceSrikanth Dhondi
While organizations make all kinds of efforts to enhance the experience of their external customers by investing in numerous training programs and marketing initiatives, the outcome is most often disappointing to say the least.
Customer loyalty continues to elude us and “Customer advocacy” remains a distant dream. More often than not its sheer “inertia” that prevents customers from switching.
One key aspect that could perhaps unlock the door to conquering the above challenge is by having a robust set of practices that will boost the level of “Internal Customer Centricity”.
This is because empirical research conducted by leading industrial psychologists clearly establish the link between the two aspects. In other words, it emphatically states that the extent of external customer centricity can never exceed the extent of internal customer centricity.
As a part of our endeavor to constantly partner with organizations such as yours to create customized customer centric solutions to business challenges. I am pleased to share a framework that I believe will serve as a useful filter to evaluate the relevance and efficacy of the numerous employee engagement efforts you are already making.
The framework is a synthesis of the best research that has been conducted in this area.

Digital Influence is one of the hottest trends in social media, yet is largely misunderstood. "The Rise of Digital Influence," the new report by Altimeter Group Principal Analyst Brian Solis, is a 'how-to' guide for businesses to spark desirable effects and outcomes through social media influence. The report helps companies understand how influence spreads, and includes case studies in which brands partnered with vendors to recruit connected consumers for digital influence campaigns. Brian evaluates the offerings of 14 Influence vendors, organizing them by Reach, Resonance, and Relevance: the Three Pillars that make up the foundation for Digital Influence as defined in the report. Also included are an Influence Framework and an Influence Action Plan to help brands identify connected consumers and to define and measure strategic digital influence initiatives.
With 50% of the mobile phone users in the US carrying a smartphone, tablets selling out as soon as they're launched, and the measure of apps downloaded numbering in the billions, it's time to start harnessing these devices to empower employees and drive business value. There are myriad examples of how business are improving efficiency and employee productivity with mobile, and who better to empower these players than their line of business management? The possibility exists today, but the critical first step still belongs to IT. In order to unleash mobile, IT organization must create a foundation for mobile, a control plane that underlies mobile business tools, that extends beyond simple MDM. This control layer contains both leadership and technology elements, from policies and a set of roles and responsibilities to mobile security and management tools. Only when this control plane is in place can the business start rolling out solutions for information consumption, creation and collaboration. This webinar will present the proper scope for mobility control, necessary elements of the technology and leadership to build a solid foundation for mobility.
2011 was the year of the mobile consumer. Smartphone and tablet penetration grew at a rapid pace and has fundamentally changed the way people live their daily lives and seek information. One of the largest areas of disruptions is in retail; shoppers are packing smartphones and tablets with retailer apps and using them to hunt for bargains, product information, and to find almost everything on their shopping list. The 2011 holiday shopping season witnessed the most aggressive use of mobile technologies by consumers and retailers to date. The problem was that not all retailers had a strategy in place to take advantage of this foreseeable trend.
One-in-two mobile owners in the US owns a smartphone, and many more own tablets. As most of these same consumers adapt their personal lifestyle to be “mobile first,” they expect their employers to be there to meet them. With the growing number of personal mobile devices in the hands of users, as well as increasingly remote organizations , there’s a great opportunity for organizations to increase productivity of their employees by allowing the use of these personal devices. Taking this on seems daunting, as IT has less ability to enforce a single standard than ever before. Not taking action, however, and ignoring this trend risks exposing corporate data to public clouds with no visibility on the part of IT. Enforcing a single standard will do a lot to serve all users partially, but none particularly well. "Power to the People: Identify and Empower Your Workforce," the new report by Altimeter Group analyst Chris Silva explores how companies are deploying mobile strategies to meet the the specific needs of their employees and the organization at large.
This report is intended primarily for business people who are tasked with understanding, interpreting, and acting on social data — executives, strategic planners, social strategists, and marketers. It outlines the key challenges of social data, proposes a value-based framework for social analytics, and recommends clear and pragmatic steps that companies engaged in social media must follow to ensure they are gaining insights, measuring effectively, interpreting accurately, and taking appropriate action — both today and in the longer term.
Content marketing requires a shift in company culture, resources, budgets, partners and strategy. Rebalancing is critical to achieve these goals. The choice is whether to rebalance now, or later when the battle for attention may become even more difficult than it currently is. This report from Altimeter Group introduces a five-step content maturity model, complete with real-world case examples, to guide organizations from “standing” to “running” with their content strategy. A self-audit tool, content channel review, and actionable recommendations are also included.
Managing mobile devices proactively depends on more than the tools — such as mobile device management — that offer a “silver bullet” for the onslaught of mobile support requests. IT has two choices: 1) work to patch and fix by continually amending policies and myopic infrastructure or 2) establish a stance rooted in control over the devices in place today and those likely to be requested tomorrow and well into a multi-device, connected future.
Solving this problem and establishing control is an issue not only of the proper technology but key relationships across the organization, informed and enforceable policy, and a multi-part technology stack to operationalize said policy. We call this the mobile control plane, a complex but critical layer of support that serves as the foundation for enterprise mobile rollouts that’s lacking in most companies today.
Today, customers move constantly between the online and offline worlds, using a range of devices — such as smartphones and tablets — that didn’t exist a few short years ago. Thousands of applications and dozens of social media platforms collect and transmit an unprecedented amount of structured and unstructured data, and API changes are a fact of life. The volatility of social data and the pace of change mean that tried-and-true measurement methods are no longer enough. Social data is different. This report identifies six primary approaches and includes
case studies for how organizations measure the impact of social media on revenue.
In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.
Social media is the modern Pandora’s box: it has had a meteoric rise as a tool to interact and engage with customers, but also a dark underside exposing companies to new types of risk. Almost two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation, yet 60% of companies either never train their employees about their corporate social media policies or do so only upon hiring. This report outlines how to be more proactive about managing social media risk through following a detailed four-step process: Identify, Assess, Mitigate, and Evaluate.
For brands today, the complexity of social business is steadily compounding. For every additional variable — each account, customer conversation, business unit, location, language, distributor, etc. — social media becomes a greater challenge. Meanwhile, brands struggle to prepare appropriately and adopt the right technology. This report includes four case studies that demonstrate how brands are addressing social media proliferation.
This Altimeter Group webinar explores the findings of our latest research report on digital transformation. Attendees will learn what digital transformation is, how companies are embracing change, the challenges and opportunities that emerge throughout the process, and how to refocus and reorganize teams to modernize, optimize, and integrate digital touchpoints.

Advertising and media are converging. The results will disrupt how companies must deploy their marketing efforts. Marketers, and their agency partners must converge their media efforts by combining social, corporate content, and advertising reach --or risk connecting with the fleeting customer.
Owned and earned media are vital to campaigns, helping to amplify and spread brand messages through the complex paths consumers follow across devices, screens and media. Advertising, or ‘paid’ media, has traditionally led marketing initiatives both online and off-. But advertising no longer works as effectively as it once did unless bolstered by additional marketing channels.
While consumers distinguish less and less between these channels, marketers remain specialized in one medium at the expense of the others. Rather than allow campaigns to be driven by paid media, marketers must now develop scale and expertise in owned and earned media to drive effectiveness, cultivate creative ideas, assess customer needs, cultivate influencers, develop reach, achieve authenticity and cut through clutter.
”The Converged Media Imperative,” a new research report co-authored by Altimeter Group Analysts Rebecca Lieb and Jeremiah Owyang, explores today's media landscape, and provides a success checklist and actionable recommendations for converged media deployment.

The science behind persuasive design: Capturing the emotional triggers that ...Kath Straub
Today, interactions with prospective customers start on the web. This means to be useful, a website must be more than usable. It must also be engaging and persuasive, like a charismatic salesman.
Persuasive designs do not „just happen“. They are derived through rigorous research identifying the emotional triggers that drive a customer to commit or fears that hinder a customer from acting.
Once key emotional responses are understood, organizations can develop content and messaging strategies which employ principles of social psychology to amplifying customers motivations and minimize their concerns.
By extending the traditional usability methods into the domains of emotional response and human decision making, designers can create content that transform exploration into commitment.

Our research found that most people define their ideal experience in terms of relevance — getting the information they need quickly and ensuring that they are remembered between and during engagements with a brand. Yet despite customer experience being a top priority for the C-suite, few organizations have a coherent strategy that aligns customer experience against business strategy and then across departments.
Our research found that the key is to use relationships as the foundation for a next-generation customer experience strategy, with touchpoints and journeys remaining practical necessities. The strategy must prioritize experiences that create relevance in the relationship that in the end drives business results. To develop the strategy itself, start by understanding the maturity of your experience strategy formulation and execution capabilities.
From there, the strategy process has four components:
• Understand the next generation customer on a continuous basis.
• Create a vision and guiding principles that connect experience to relationships.
• Prioritize experience initiatives for relevance.
• Align the organization for execution.

IDC forecasts that in 2017 spending on cognitive and artificial intelligence (AI) systems will reach $12.5 billion. Some of these systems will be delivered in the form of “conversational interfaces”; what we think of more generally as chatbots or virtual assistants. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2019, virtual personal assistants “will have changed the way users interact with devices and become universally accepted as part of everyday life.” For this report, Altimeter interviewed 24 enterprise companies, technology innovators, and other experts to gauge the potential risks and opportunities of conversational interfaces. We interviewed industry leaders to identify use cases, design principles, and strategic implications for customer experience, business models, brand strategy, and innovation. Our goal, and a focus of this report, is to help business leaders better understand the implications of conversational interfaces so they can make informed decisions about how to leverage this technology. More important, however, is for businesses to look ahead at the real opportunity: to develop from transactional to conversational relationships, express their brand voice, and become a trusted, indispensable ally to customers.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

36. We live in a society obsessed with measurement, but
the act of measuring often means that the thing
being measured becomes illusive. When sociologists
measure social capital, they do so from a distance
precisely because people would try to game the
measurement. But what's happening here isn't just
measurement: it's trying to leverage measurement to
do something. That's where it loses its role as a
measurement process.

• In the end, the true measure of influence is determined by
an outcome or extent of change
