Artificial Intelligence, Marketing and Predictive Analytics in todays market of over crowded offerings

Artificial Intelligence, Marketing and Predictive Analytics We live today in the era of avoidance. Advertising and marketing reach us through billboards, newspapers, magazines, television, web banners, sponsored posts on social media, the list is endless. On an average, humans see close to 5000 ads in a single day, and that number is only increasing. How individuals and customers react to this bombardment of promotional material is double-edged. Some engage, and some go out of their way to avoid such material. In the past two years, the number of web users who installed  ‘ad-blocker’ plugin has risen by over 50 million. What does this mean for marketers? When customers aren’t willing to look at ads online in exchange for access to free content or services anymore, it is a problem for websites that offer ads, as marketers who have placed ads on their websites do not see the results they need. Media Publishers are left between the devil and the deep sea as they customers are u...

Hacking into Growth – Design Thinking as a Strategy

Image
What is Design Thinking? It’s a practical way of solving problems  by "building up" ideas, with few, or no, limits on breadth during a "brainstorming" phase. This helps reduce fear of failure in the participant(s) and encourages input and participation from a wide variety of sources in the ideation phases. The phrase "thinking outside the box" has been coined to describe one goal of the brainstorming phase and is encouraged, since this can aid in the discovery of hidden elements and ambiguities in the situation and discovering potentially faulty assumptions. When design principles are applied to strategy and innovation the success rate for innovation dramatically improves. Design Thinking is a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients. Design Thinking draws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning, to explore possibilities of what could be, and to create desired ou...

Recognize a Soul Mate when you meet one

Image
Always went through the spiral of this churn to differentiate and understand as my life went through deep painful change from 2009 and it opened the flood gates to whom I today share my world with as soul mates who came and awakened into consciousness. A journey without a destination in one life time. Soul Mate : Someone who is aligned with your soul and is sent to challenge, awaken and stir different parts of you in order for your soul to transcend to a higher level of consciousness and awareness. Once the lesson has been learnt, physical separation usually occurs. Life Partner: A companion, a friend, a stable and secure individual who you can lean on, trust and depend on to help you through life. There is a mutual feeling of love and respect and you are both in sync with each others needs and wants.   Everyone wants to meet their Soulmate. In fact, one of the most common questions I receive in my Spiritual and coaching sessions is- “When am I going to meet my Soulma...

It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.   -- C.W.Leadbeater So much anticipation was built way back in early 2014 on the need to take the responsibility and bring lots of change and accomplishments that would serve the larger community  The year was very promising with a very dynamic District Governor RI Dist 3190 Rtn Manjunath Shetty who actually managed to create spaces for people to participate actively and under his leadership things became so full of promise and robust.The Installation ceremony of the team for 2014-2015 finally pushed me into the fire on 27.07.2014   Rtn Kishor Jagirdar with District Governor Elect Rtn K P Nagesh -Dist 3190 2014-2015  Set out with a lot of plans for the people of Yelahanka and our adopted village Hegdehalli near Nandi Hills.With Primary agenda being : 1) Health & technology Sector a) Digitization of health...
