Open Innovation – less magic, more results! “If you can't measure it, you can't improve it"
Identifying the potential for growth in our company or organization, and measuring our Return On Innovation, enables us to achieve results faster. This keynote shares strategic and hands-on advice for:
-
Faster results and more frequent launches of innovative products and services
-
A higher success rate due to goals, process and KPI’s being aligned
-
Reducing the risk of new innovation projects due to a sound structure and the right tools
-
Engaging people to foster innovation throughout the organization

Digital Commerce: Getting ahead of our customers
Digital Commerce is changing the conversation from who and why to what if. Even though adoption rate seems fast, general consumer needs is still behind tech innovation. We stray away from looking into basic human needs, and start to wonder “what if?”
I'm pretty sure very few customers came to Jeff Bezos three years ago because they were annoyed that they weren’t able to walk into a store, grab whatever they needed, and walk out without actively interacting with a single person - or machine.
Working in digital commerce experience, we don’t have time to spend one year figuring out if an idea is ready for market. If we ship a product the market needs now, we are already too late.
In this session, we will explore design sprints as a way of keeping up with developments in digital commerce, and unpack how to create a better user experience that our users didn’t even realize they were missing.

Human Intelligence and Search Analytics
It is no secret that analytics in general, and search analytics in particular, can help organizations better understand their users' intent and achieve desirable business outcomes by taking appropriate actions based on these insights. While approaches such as AI and machine learning have a part to play in this regard, not everyone is prepared to make the investment to adopt such tools. For this reason, while we will touch upon AI/ML, this session will focus more on tackling analytics and optimizing search using "human" intelligence. I guarantee there will be no rocket science or magic bullet solution presented, rather you will learn about:
- harvesting analytics to feed your search engine
- getting the most out of your existing search engine
- taking full advantage of many search optimizations before you start using AI/ML

Project manager - Securing the time and resources we need
As a project manager, one of the biggest challenges is securing sufficient resources as well as time for managing our projects effectively. How to implement the right routines and tools all the while executing on several projects.

Data-Driven or Data-Informed?
This is a session on how to create the dialogue we need with the people working in various roles throughout our organization. Providing them with informative data in a way that enables them to make better decisions.
We will discuss the difference between being data-driven vs. data-informed. With the first-mentioned too often being a source of needless reports and frustration, and the latter, on the contrary, a resource that can help everyone in our organization communicate effectively.

Innovation in e-Commerce: Insights from an upcoming and growing home & living online store
It can be challenging to innovate in the fast-paced e-Commerce space. This is especially true for smaller online stores, who can’t afford to allocate major R & D resources to innovation. All too often, quick fixes get prioritized over innovation projects. In this session, I will share thoughts and insights from yourhome.de - an online store that was started in 2016 as a special shop for home & living run by OTTO. OTTO is the top player for home & living in German e-Commerce.

How I learned to lead the Hyperagile Scrumfall beast
Great project outcomes are never defined by just one factor such as leadership, management, governance, resources or the other 500+ larger and smaller things that will pave the way for great digital products and experiences. Everyone who has worked with digital projects for more than 15 years knows this, and yet, even their projects fail from time to time. The reason is that most of us aren’t persistent enough when it comes to spotting the bad excuses or hot air delivered by various stakeholders in a project.
This talk will discuss the pitfalls and dilemmas of leadership in a world where we are all constantly re-interpreting and often trying to re-invent “digital”. Sara will share her latest observations on digital project success and failure - hopefully sparking a conversation that will continue beyond the 4 days of the conference.
15.30 – 16.30
Succeeding with a user-centered team in an old organisation
I will talk about my experience of building a user-centred approach in an organisation that historically has been oriented around traditional business and communication structures, and more reactive than proactive to events.
I will cover the recruitment of and structuring of teams, building products and resilience, through to the holy grail of recognising and building end-to-end user-centred services. I will talk openly about the highs and lows, and the messy bits in the middle. Many of the problems we face are universal. I hope there will be useful takeaways whether your workplace is big or small.

The Creative Curve: How to Develop the Right Idea, at the Right Time
“One of the things that people make a mistake of when it comes to creativity is they over focus on the novelty part. Scientists have found that creatives find the most success when they create ideas that are a blend of the familiar and the novel. Those are the ideas that we tend to be most attracted to.”
In this keynote Allen demystifies the concept of creativity into a practice that anyone can fuse into their current work and processes for better results.
