Manu Carricano: ''A data science toolbox for marketers''

In today’s business world, big data & analytics seem to act as a great wall separating the modern organization from the mass, analytically born companies disrupting almost all sectors. Beyond disruption, data analytics can offer a new competitive advantage to traditional companies too. Highly data-driven organizations for example, are three times more likely to report significant improvement in decision-making. The objective of this session, therefore, is to understand how leading companies are putting data at the service of a real-time and granular customer orientation, in order for brands to be ready in the moments consumers need to know, go, do or buy.

He is an executive graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Big Data, and received his PhD from the University of Bordeaux and his MSc from Kedge Business School.

Bart de Langhe: ''Marketing in the age of perfect information''

We are in the midst of an upheaval in the way consumers and managers make decisions. Amazon, for instance, is doing the largest customer satisfaction survey in the history of our planet. The rise of online reviews has led some to argue that consumers are now making more informed and rational decisions, and that the power of brands and traditional marketing tactics is waning. But what can consumers really learn from online reviews? And should companies now shift resources from brand building to product engineering? Bart de Langhe, marketing professor at ESADE, will address these questions based on his latest research on online reviews. He will reveal a few fundamental insights about how the human mind works and describe implications for data-driven decision-making

Lluis Martinez-Ribes (Lic&MBA 76): ''Semiotics vs. semantics: who’s the winner?''

One beautiful morning Semiotics and Semantics met on the street. They started to discuss. “If something is cool, people will like it. Anything appealing attracts,” said Semiotics. “Well, that doesn’t always make sense,” replied Semantics. Who is right? During this interactive session, we will see, from the neuroscience point of view, which of these two sides pleases the brain the most. We will also work on practical implications for products, packaging, and services, including B2B.

Marco Bertini: ''Neuroscience: competing on outcomes''

Customer orientation is the defining mantra of the 21st-century organization. We have been trained to see the market from the eyes of those we serve, thinking in terms of solutions rather than products and services. Yet even the most customer-loving enterprise reverts to old habits when it comes to turning value into dollars and cents. Rather than taking a hard look at customers and what they need and want, we take a hard look at what we make. This has become a problem as today’s customers and governments demand transparency and accountability. The session describes this emerging reality via several examples that give the audience a roadmap and straightforward advice on how to orchestrate a revenue strategy fit for modern times.
