Workshop Stanford University - 28th July 2018 on Website Optimization Raj Lal
A website can be an extremely effective tool for generating sales and achieving other business goals. But that assumes you’ve “optimized” your website—that you’ve learned the techniques that will let you effectively convert website visitors into customers, whether that means buying a product, downloading your app, signing up for a beta, or scheduling an appointment. There is an art and a science to optimizing your website—or what’s sometimes called Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)—that can be tremendously useful for marketers, executives, and business owners. This one-day workshop will provide a concise and practical overview of optimization techniques, focusing on four key subjects: mining information from Google Analytics to understand data, users, and devices; analyzing competitors; heuristically reviewing your website for usability; and A/B testing your key content for conversion. Once you have this information you will be able to optimize the layout and remove the bottlenecks in your website that may be preventing your visitors from converting into customers. You will learn how to leverage the data to create a better user flow in your website and use the test-driven framework to continuously improve your website, acquire more customers, and increase your revenue.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
