The foundation of all effective feedback is this:

The intent to improve performance.

Without this intention behind it, feedback can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection. Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and learn from it.

In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

  • Key components of high-impact feedback
  • The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
  • A neuroscience perspective on feedback
  • Emotions as the gatekeepers to rational thought
  • Concrete ways to de-escalate emotion and refocus a feedback conversation

Digital twins have been hyped as the next big thing in process excellence, especially in the manufacturing space, for years.

Now, thanks to advancements in AI, data processing and IoT, the dream of digital twins is now becoming reality.

The ways in which commercial, academic and governmental organizations are using digital twins are truly remarkable. City planners, for example, are using digital twins to analyze and solve urban problems such as traffic, pollution and overcrowding.

In life sciences, researchers are using digital twins to study diseases and develop cutting-edge treatments.

Digital twins are becoming so popular that the industry is expected to reach US$125.7bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 39 percent from 2021.

Digital twins, however, require massive amounts of high quality data and extensive computing resources.

In addition, they also pose numerous cybersecurity and ethical challenges. Should the data used to create digital twins be compromised in some way, whether maliciously or not, it could have catastrophic results.

Elizabeth Mixson (LinkedIn profile) Editor PEX Network & Amit Badlani (LinkedIn profile) Head of Product, AI / ML NVIDIA will look at the promise and the perils of digital twins.

Key discussion points will include:

  • Why is digital twin technology such a game changer and how are organizations using it to reinvent themselves for the digital age?
  • How do you avoid building an evil twin by ensuring data is ethically used and protected?
  • Are digital twins worth the investment?

Technology markets are not static and orderly. Understanding the market and buyer dynamics that drive the need for your products and services is critical for go-to-market success.

Before developing positioning or creating stories that drive sales enablement and external demand, a product marketer must be armed with a wide range of information about the factors that drive buying behavior.

But marketing and sales teams are often immature in identifying, communicating, and tracking customer value.

When executed correctly, technology providers have increased close rates by 70% and expanded business by 5 times.

In this webinar, David Yockelson (Linkedin profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst will discuss how to create a value management discipline in your organization that will enable both your buyers and your sellers about the value and business outcomes associated with your offerings.

Discussion Topics:

  • Understand why, when, and how buyers need to hear about your product or service value
  • Learn how to incorporate value management and value realization throughout the buying process
  • Assess technologies and applications that can automate and help scale value-related work
