The demand for smarter data-driven apps, powered by embedded “intelligence” continues to grow as organizations look to better understand and engage the new mobile and social consumer and create competitive advantage.

In fact, Forrester predicts smart computing software will become a $48 billion market, while Gartner projects that 25% of analytic capabilities will be embedded in business applications this year.

From personalized portals, to wearables, to connected devices that have been wired up to the Internet of Things (IoT), the data that will feed – and be consumed by a new generation of information apps – is all around us.

Yet, just as moving to a mobile-first design mindset required some new skills and tools, designing information apps in the era of IoT is very much an art and a science.

Starting with an understanding of the key roles of analytics, we can look at the best ways to attach data to experiences, and how to embed insights that boost user adoption and engagement.

Allen Bonde, (LinkedIn profile) VP of Product Marketing & Innovation, OpenText Analytics & Reporting will review these approaches, as well as how and why analytical tools are becoming more mobile, more predictive, and more embeddable in nearly any app or device.

During this webcast you will learn:

• The top use cases for embedded analytics, and how an “analytic process” can guide the transformation of big (and small) data into useful insights and interactions
• How our integrated design approach – based on open source foundations and rich APIs – shorten the time to connect to new data sources, deploy apps securely, and display interactive data visualization at scale, in any app, on any device (even a smartwatch!)
• Why good information design and emerging best practices for embedding analytics are key to delivering more personalized information, driving user adoption, and delighting end-customers

1. What makes an organization a great place to work?
2. What is the process that individual employees go through in determining that?

Those are the questions that researchers at The Ken Blanchard Companies® set out to discover over the course of a seven-year research project to identify the organizational, job, and relationship factors that lead to Employee Work Passion.

In this webinar, Dr. Drea Zigarmi, (kenblanchard.com bio) Founding Associate and Director of Research for The Ken Blanchard Companies will present the research that sheds light on the process that individual employees go through in determining whether critical factors are present in a specific work environment.

He will use the Employee Work Passion model to show how an individual appraisal of organizational and job characteristics leads to positive or negative intentions, behaviors, and subsequent organizational or unit results.

Participants will explore:

• Why Leadership Matters—how strategic and operational leadership behaviors impact Employee Work Passion
• The Employee Appraisal Process—how perceptions of the work environment lead to positive or negative employee intentions in five key areas
• The Employee Work Passion Model—12 work environment factors all leaders need to know, evaluate, and plan for
• Four Critical Implications—and how to get started
