For companies who leverage human-centered design (HCD), the prizes are rich. Research by the Design Management Institute finds that design-led S&P 500 companies outperform the rest of the index by 211 percent.

Human-centered design is a powerful competitive advantage that many of the world’s leading companies are using to drive innovation, transformation, customer-centricity and business outcomes.

But what exactly is human-centered design?

In an era of always-on transformation, organizations face increasingly diverse and complex business problems that need to be understood and addressed — human-centered thinking helps with both.

Combining analytical and intuitive thinking, the HCD process reshapes companies and people, and embeds new creative problem-solving capabilities, so they can continuously address emerging, and often poorly understood, shifts in customer needs, technology, and the competitive environment.

Join Keith Laplante (Linkedin profile) ExperiencePoint Master Facilitator &  Tom Merrill (LinkedIn profile) ExperiencePoint Master Facilitator to:

  • Understand what human-centered design is and how it can be used across organizations to drive customer-centricity, innovation and transformation
  • Learn how human-centered design creates a repeatable, scalable and disciplined framework for examining complex problems and solutioning them
  • Hear how innovative companies are embedding human-centered design into their culture to create a competitive advantage
  • Understand how to identify and overcome common challenges in the human-centered design process

Account-based marketing (ABM) continues to be an important demand generation strategy and can be used across a range of business goals, including new prospect acquisition, customer expansion and retention.

ABM programs have a foundationally different go-to-market approach than traditional demand generation efforts, often with more complexity, collaboration requirements and unique processes, creating hurdles that must be overcome as the program matures.

Yet, planning which channels, content, and calls to action (CTAs) to include requires a fresh look due to the fundamentally different go-to-market strategy at the heart of ABM.

Join Jenifer Silverstein (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst to learn how to establish or optimize the orchestration of your ABM program.

  • Identify areas on which to focus for improvement
  • How to select channels, content, and calls to action (CTAs) to engage accounts along the buying journey

CIOs and technology leaders struggle to demonstrate the value of their initiatives to the business, but current ROI models don’t adequately account for outcomes delivered to stakeholders beyond shareholders.

Without a clear understanding of the value created and the impact on the organization’s mission-critical priorities, technology investments are often perceived as a cost center rather than strategic to the organization.

Investments in technology initiatives can have a more significant impact on leading indicators of financial outcomes and future value. Organizations need a new multifactor model that fully accounts for all financial and leading indicators of value for a range of stakeholder outcomes.

Join Rita L. Sallam (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst to learn how to use the Gartner Enterprise Value Equation to support technology and other investment decisions and measure impact in your organization.

Discussion Topics:

  • Determine how executive leaders can demonstrate the value of their initiatives
  • Explore a new approach to measure, articulate and optimize value
  • Identify how technology investments can bring impactful benefits and drive enterprise value
