LORI BIEDA, CHIEF DATA SCIENTIST & HEAD, CENTRE OF ANALYTICS EXCELLENCE, BMO. The Journey Analytics Evolution. Journey analytics is being used to transform businesses all over the world – from detecting digital leakage into offline channels, to dramatically improving the client experience, to changing how companies sell and serve. But companies continue to grapple with the complexities of embedding journey analytics – and customer journey thinking into their organizations in a way that it can be absorbed and scaled with pace. Learn how this fact-first way of propelling the business forward is helping organizations drive incremental revenue, refine their cost structures and improve client experience – and what it takes to evolve to a journey-led organization.

STEVE SHAW, CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER, KENNA. The Big Shift: How to Transform Your Marketing Model. Everything about the new, more customer-obsessed marketing model demands new systems, processes and ways of thinking – but most of all, the urgency to abandon stale-dated practices. But where to start? And exactly how many bends in the road are there? In this practical, plain-speaking session you’ll discover a failsafe path to marketing transformation – the exact steps you need to follow without falling victim to the law of inflated expectations.
