Speaker Page Final

"The focus on successfully managing our natural resources, especially water, has made it necessary for the Connecticut Irrigation Association to revisit their messaging and positioning. With that in mind, we asked VisionEdge Marketing to facilitate a highly interactive workshop at our annual conference to build a message map for our industry. With Laura’s guidance our leaders created the framework for a relevant message map that will resonate with key stakeholders, in our state legislature, water utilities, and our primary end users – homeowners. We’re excited to build on the framework and begin to put the results into practice."

Erica Fearn, President - Mainspring Association Management

The 4 Game Changers for Every Stage of Growth  

 

Profitable and sustainable growth is more elusive than ever before. This is true for all industries, and companies in all growth phases, from start-up to maturity. The business as usual growth strategies are not up to the challenge. They don’t set you up to future-proof your business. Instead, every aspect of your business must be up-leveled to speed time to growth, and to power past your competitors. Your audience will leave with the newest best practices on how to: 

  1. Expand customer-centricity throughout your organization 
  2. Improve the conversion of data into actionable and relevant insights 
  3. Create a strategic plan that connects data to outcomes to realize your growth goals 
  4. Achieve Operational Excellence via enhanced processes and measurement focused on growth and revenue 

Looking for a deeper dive and hands-on format? In an interactive workshop, in addition to this presentation, there’s a hands-on review of three anonymous customer case studies to bring the 4 game changers to life. After breakouts, the teams will share their learnings with everyone.

Best-Practices for a More Powerful, Insightful, And Actionable Dashboard  

Dashboard

Despite technology investment, many organizations struggle to reap the expected outcomes of dashboards - insights into what is working, what course adjustments, if are required, and whether investments are properly allocated. This is usually because the metrics on their dashboards don’t provide guidance for decision-making, risk mitigation, trend spotting, and opportunity identification. Additionally, all too often dashboard metrics and measures are not displayed in a format that enables executives to quickly see what needs to be addressed to attract, keep and grow customer value.  

 

As an outcome of this presentation, you will learn these dashboard best practices, the: 

  • 4 key dashboard building blocks, from data to KPIs 
  • 6 must-have, metrics categories 
  • 3 dashboard views, from tactical to executive 
  • 6 logic links, from activity to expected outcomes
