11:35 - 12:00Personalisation At Scale: What It Really Takes
Location: Orchard
Jason Heller, Global Lead, Digital Marketing Operations & Technology, McKinsey & Company

The benefits of personalisation remain elusive. While certain channels, martech platforms and campaigns have elements of personalisation, most marketers find capturing the bigger opportunity difficult. Personalisation is here today, but it often requires integration of multiple platforms, a bespoke customer data platform and dash of data science to power decision making.

But technology is just part of the solution.

Re-imagined processes, new roles and functions, and deploying agile marketing at industrial scale are all part of the successful formula. Jason will discuss what it really takes for marketing organisations to deploy personalisation engines that drive real growth. He'll address the operational realities of the technology and how to mobilise the organisation to seize the opportunity.

Mind the Gap; Bridging Customer Strategy and Execution with Data-Driven Marketing

Marketing organizations are often limited in their ability to progress marketing tactics from single channel to cross-channel and real-time customer engagement.

Join Patrick Tripp, VP of Product Strategy at RedPoint Global to discuss a data-driven approach that marketing organizations can take to bridge the gap, including:

- Research and insights on common data challenges for enterprise marketing organizations;

Sophie will offer complementary viewpoints of the change process: that of an internal stakeholder and an external advisor.

Location: Orchard
Michael Wade, Cisco Chair in Digital Business Transformation and Professor of Innovation and Strategy, IMD

‘Digital disruption’ is a buzzword, but that does not mean it hurts any less when it happens to you. A recent study from the Global Center for Digital Business Transformation, an IMD and Cisco Initiative, found that executives believe 4 of today’s top 10 incumbents in each industry will be displaced by digital disruption in the next five years. Most executives struggle to figure out how to react. This session will break down how disruptors disrupt and will provide concrete recommendations on how incumbents should respond.

This session will be presented by Michael Wade, Professor at IMD and lead author of Digital Vortex: How Today’s Market Leaders Can Beat Disruptive Competitors at Their Own Game.

15:25 - 15:50Marketing Ops is a Philosophy, Not a Department
Location: Orchard
Justin Dunham, Director, Marketing Ops & Digital Acquisition, Urban Airship

Every marketing technologist has heard the term "DevOps" as an integration of the development and operations functions. DevOps focuses on processes and methods that integrate development, QA and IT operations so that delivery is faster, more predictable and more reliable. But mostly, DevOps is a set of principles around IT operations that yields better results.

Marketing Ops is a set of principles, too. In fact, it's a philosophy with these principles:

- Accountability through data;
- "Test and learn" culture, enabled by good process and good analytics tools;
- Technology as a competitive advantage, not a barrier to be overcome;
- Playbooks and workflows that allow for the creation of higher-quality campaigns, faster.

Justin will introduce the idea of Marketing Ops as a philosophy and contrast companies that embrace these concepts vs. those who use more traditional organisational structures. He'll also illustrate the advantages that accrue to genuine Marketing Ops organisations and provide suggestions on how to get started or improve your own operations.

Theresa Regli, Principal, Managing Partner, Real Story Group

Martech leaders have good reason to be excited about innovations. But what happens when excitement becomes hype and enterprise decision-makers create plans based on unproven tools or approaches? New technologies can become lodestones rather than accelerants.

This fast moving session will uncover 10 key myths that vendors espouse and offer the accompanying reality for each one. Come away with a clearer view of the marketplace and a more practical take on the opportunities in front of you.

09:00 - 09:25Beyond Creative Destruction: Hyper Cannibalism in a Disruptive World
Location: Orchard
Shawn Kanungo, Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations, Deloitte

Today, disruption is the new norm. Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that the cycles of disruption can be frightening to executives. The term "creative destruction" has been around for a long time, and it refers to the incessant product and process innovation mechanism by which the new replace the old.

To remain significant today, companies will have to adopt the idea of "hyper-cannibalism", which refers to companies launching spin-off internal units or groups that compete to quickly destroy their existing products and services. The introduction of hyper-cannibalism will be responsible for exponential progress and instability in ways that are unforeseeable.

In this session, author and Deloitte consultant Shawn Kanungo will dive deep into hyper-cannibalism with examples, case studies and his own experiences.

15:50 - 16:15Applying Microservices Design To The Martech Stack: Lessons Learned
Location: Orchard
Steven Moody, Founding Partner, Beachhead

The first wave of marketing technology was driven by core platforms such as CRM and marketing automation.

16:15 - 16:40How UX Makes Marketing More Effective
Location: Orchard
Sean McSharry, UX Planner / Architect, Barclaycard

The old model of account manager’s saying yes to all business or customer demands and creative design leading solutions with aesthetic folly only worked because everyone else was doing it too. Now that businesses are realising the effectiveness of a User Experience led approach, companies run a real risk of being left behind as competitors deliver solutions that really work, first time, every time, with measurable ROI.

In this session, we'll look at the difference between UX and UI, why this paradigm shift has happened, and how it adds value to modern marketing. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how UX works and how it can help your marketing campaigns and your business.
