Is today's world all about creativity and ideation?

Are they the seeds to be nurtured to bring in automation, innovation and transformation.  There is a saying, necessity is the mother of invention. I would say, innovation is amalgamation of creativity and necessity.  We need to understand the ecosystem, to apply creativity and identify the ideas to bring in change. We need to be competent with changing ecosystem and think beyond the possible. What is the biggest challenge in doing this? "Unlearning and Learning", we think the current ecosystem is the best. Be it health, finserve, agriculture or mechanical domain, we need to emphasize with the stakeholders, to come up with the strategy to drive. The very evident example here is the quality of life is changing every millisecond. Few decades back the phone connection was limited to few, but today all the millennials are having a mobile phone. Now phone is not just a medium to talk, but are so powerful devices that an innovative solution can be developed on it.

T & IT benefits (Tangible and InTangible) of Digital Marketing



Dear Friends,


I would like to sincerely THANK YOU for taking time out and read my articles on Digital Marketing sequence. This is my third write up on Digital Marketing to help everyone understand Tangible and Intangible Benefits of Digital Marketing. In this article, I will be focusing on “Visible and invisible benefits of Digital Marketing”. Last article I wrote was focused on “What’s the right time for Digital Marketing?”.
 
Let us acknowledge these facts and register them for the growth benefits. Undoubtedly Digital marketing power is full of benefits but that needs to be channelized properly using right tools and right strategy. We strategize and drive Digital Marketing based on facts and market trends. Believe you me, Digital Marketing is incomplete without research and provoking questions to the customer and self. It is equally important for Marketers to dig and define right roadmap for the success of Digital Market to reap Tangible and Intangible benefits.   

Horse power of Digital World is much more than any other medium of communication in the current disruptive world of Social media and Internet of Thing. Internet and digitalization had broadened the reach and speed up the flow of communication which are the key differentiators for Inbound Marketing. Let us try to embrace Digital Marketing by comprehending T(Tangible) and IT(InTangible) benefits.

Sales Power: Anyone connected with you online becomes your power for Sales and Growth. Online social community act as the catalyst for spreading the word and reach on your behalf.  Tangible aspect of you reaching out to your connection but Intangible aspect which we tend to ignore or does not acknowledge is that they spread your message to their communities exponentially. We should leverage exponential Tangible and Intangible power of sales for spreading or viral your market with their influence.

Testimonial Power: As soon as anyone from your online community expresses “Like” or “Pen Positive/Negative comment” that become one’s best testimonial. Such references have much more influence and impact than the Inorganic (Paid) published endorsements by celebrities on Television and Print media. Connection with likeminded people and appreciating their valuable word of spread helps connect better even with the simple message. Intangible benefit of getting connected with right audience should be cherished by everybody and not belittle it because it comes straightforwardly. Believe you me, getting a single “Like” reflects huge amount of credibility about one’s work.

Level playground for everyone:  One can spend higher amount of budget for Digital marketing to get right strategy in place however execution and connecting to the targeted audience is an important aspect for any successful campaign. Beauty of Inbound approach is that it provides equal level playing ground for everyone. Creating costly creatives might have Tangible impact on audience however connecting the right cord even with low budget creative I would categorize as InTangible and valuable assistance from one’s online community.

Power of Real-time User Acceptance: With such a connected world and online community, one can easily infer instantaneous preferences from your onlookers, using analytical tools like Google Analytics or Facebook Insight. A/B test strategy should be strategically executed ahead of time to fine tune and refine outcomes quickly based on the initial reaction before damages are realized. Such a platform where Tangible inferences can be drawn overnight and corrections can be rolled out to the niche group across online community, worth appreciating their InTangible support. Intangible benefit one gets is the real-time feedback from the horse’s mouth and quick and short reaction\correction time.

Online Reputation: Spreading one’s wing across connected channels help build reputation and establish recall brand value. Clear Intangible aspect has become so handy to overshadow any other benefit. Brand power is THE POWER to connect and delivery quality as expected.   

Get Digital Strategy right, by targeting the right execution plan:
·         Leverage your online community as your Well-Wishers.
·         Value not just formal feedback but respect everyone’s response to your advantage.
·         Effort worth noticed with perseverance and commitment, adapt Agile and Iterative digital marketing to gain positive sentiments. Let people hear you and they will reciprocate with their support.
·         Augment online Brand reputation with quality and freshness, will help get much needed attention.

Only word of caution as Digital Marketing Strategist never react to your Critics that will stop your channel to get InTangible benefits. Respect everyone’ POV and take advantage of disruptive world by seeking real time feedback and corrective steps. Value Tangible Benefits but never ignore InTangible benefits.

Z and T distribution values using R

Hello Data Experts, Let me continue from my last blog http://outstandingoutlier.blogspot.in/2017/08/normality-test-for-data-using-r.html “ Normality test using R as part of advanced Exploratory Data Analysis where I had covered four moments of statistics and key concept around probability distribution, normal distribution and Standard normal distribution. Finally, I had also touched upon how to transform data to run normality test. I will help recap all those 4 moments. Those 4 moments of statistics. First step covers Mean, Median and Mode, it is a measure of central tendency. Second step covers Variance Standard Deviation, Range, it is a measure of dispersion. Third step covers Skewness, it is a measure of asymmetry. Fourth step covers Kurtosis, it is a measure of peakness. To get standardized data use “scale” command using R whereas run “pnorm” command to get probability of a value using Z distribution. To understand if data follows normality we can e

Code Branch and Merge strategies

Learn Git in a Month of Lunches Hello Everyone, IT industry is going through a disruptive evolution where being AGILE and adopting DevOps is the key catalytic agent for accelerating the floor for success. As explained in my earlier blog, they complement each other rather than competing against one another. If Leaders will at the crossroad where in case they need to pick one what should be their pick. There is no right or wrong approaching, it depends on the scenario and dynamics for the program or project. I would personally pick #DevOps over Agile as its supremacy lies in ACCELERATING delivery with RELIABILITY and CONSISTENCY . This path will enable and empower development teams to be more productive and prone to less rework. Does this mean adopting DevOps with any standard will help reap benefits? In this blog, I will focus on importance of one of the standard and best practice around Code branching and merging strategy to get the desired outcome by adopting DevOps. To

“OUTCOME” or “OUTPUT” driven Agile

Hello All,     Nowadays IT industry is bombarded with articles on Agile with loud and clear message #BeLean. Everyone around teaches AGILE as in #GOAGILE, #BEAGILE, #AGILITYLEADS and many more hashtags around #ONLYAGILE. Lean Engineering gurus have been coaching corporates to go #AGILE and be #LEAN. Literal English meaning of being Agile is to be nimble, to be able to adapt to the changing needs of company to achieve goals as to what is desired by business. But why do we need Agility, is it to be able to achieve outcome i.e., #BusinessesNeed with speed i.e., #Velocity? I am perplexed with what I keep hearing around Agile practices and I firmly believe we should try to understand the rational for being Agile by choosing right “O”, either go #Outcome or #Output. What will you prefer without reading this blog, Output or Outcome?   Let me take you two decades back when there was a need for transformation. Transformation from big-bang i.e., #waterfall to iterative i.e., #lea
