About Gary

Gary Vaynerchuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business. After primarily utilizing traditional advertising techniques to build his family’s local wine business into a national industry leader, Gary rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day, doors opened to a book deal, several national TV appearances, and a flurry of speaking engagements around the world. Gary’s dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the “Social Media Sommelier.”

In addition to the Web 2.0 keynote, Gary’s remarks on personal branding, social media, and business atFOWA, Strategic Profits, and South By Southwest occasioned praise from established web denizens including Kathy Sierra and earned the admiration of countless bloggers and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Building the Lean Web Development Team

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:13:26 -0800

Date:

27 Nov 2009 - 10:00 - 17:00

Book online at: http://buildleanwebdev.eventbrite.com/

This is a new course which has already been run as a Beta course in Bristol and recieved extremely positive feedback.

The course is now running at The Hatton, in Hatton Garden, central London.

Lean is not about Waste

Waste is the focus of a lot of discussions about Lean, but it's not the focus of this course. The focus is on:
* understanding what it is that you do
* which bits of that are actually of value to your customer
* how can you let them flow through your organisation quicker and more smoothly
* how can you stop yourself doing the things that don't add value

Value Stream Mapping

One way of looking at a business is an entity that creates value. A very simple scheme for reducing waste is to map what the value is that you're providing to your customers and then doing what you can to reduce, or completely eliminate any other activities which do not provide value to the customers.

Another way of improving the value stream is to make sure that value work flows steadily through the organisation with value being added at each stage. Through mapping the stream we can see how it can be reconfigured so that value added at one stage flow directly into the next stage where value is added.

With web development teams, my experience is that there can be problems here with flow of value into and out of the development team, there can be also problems with the timing of adding in design elements and content elements that are not independent from software functionality.

Flow

A central concept in the Toyota Production system is that work is carried out most efficiently if it flows through the team. It follows that this can't be done if every part of the process is running at 100% because, inevitable, the capacity of some parts of the chain will have higher capacity and some other parts of the chain will have lower capacity. The very first thing to do to improve flow through a team is to look at points along the production chain where work is building up.

In web development, this point is often testing. There are several ways of reducing this bottle neck:

* training up the whole team so that they can work in testing when there is work building up there.
* Abandoning testing as a separate function all together and relying on a comprehensive approach to Test Driven Development
* Pulling work through the system only at the rate that the lowest capacity section of the chain can deal with.
* Reducing the workload for the most experienced team members and using their extra capacity to improve the skills of less-experienced team members.

Kanban

I'm reluctant to use Japanese words when talking about Lean - as you see I've used very few - because one of my rules is that "Agile is not a license to speak Elvish or Klingon". Kanban simply ways of signalling what work needs doing and also of communicating to the team how they are performing.

Kanban is the system of signals that create flow of value through a team. One way of using a Kanban system is to create "pull" through the team so that work is only initiated when there is capacity further down the stream for it to be dealt with.

Continual Re-skilling

The rate at which required web-related skills change is extremely fast. In my experience with "old fashioned" software development there was a tendency for management to actually try to prevent its staff for from re-skilling (e.g. so that they would be available to work on COBOL projects, ADA projects, I've done them both). Now this would be an extremely dangerous thing to do - for both management and employees.

At the same time, the depth and variety of skills required means that it is very difficult for employees to acquire these skills "in their own time". One of the challenges of applying Lean to Web development is to figure out how to include continual improvement in the skills of the team into the web development process. It may be that this involves allowing some team members to work at less than full capacity (as the requirement for even flow through the process might dictate anyway) and expecting that the team members fill this time with re-skilling activities.

What is it?

One way of thinking about Taiichi Ohno - the inventor of the Toyota Production System - is that he was someone who really knew what a car factory was, what it was supposed to do, and how to make it do those things better. I'm not sure anybody knows what a web development team is (if there's only one kind of thing), what it's supposed to do, and how to make it better. I think this is really good news in some sense because people who can work this stuff out will be in a very competitive position - as are Toyota.

One of the areas we discussed here was that everybody I talked to in web development either doesn't know which bits make money, or knows that it is the bits other than bespoke web development.

Oct 28, 2010: Optimising your Site using Google Analytics at Econsultancy

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:16:43 -0800

This practical course will help you improve your tracking, website and campaign efficiency to deliver better results from your digital marketing investments.

Research by Econsultancy has shown that over 70% of companies now use Google Analytics systems to report online performance. But, often Google Analytics hasn't been configured to tailor reports to a particular business and fully use its capabilities to drive business results.

This course focuses on applying Google Analytics for site conversion optimization through advanced configuration and customization of reports. If you are using another tool, the best practice recommendations on campaign and page design improvements will still be relevant.

Workshop format

The workshop has an interactive, small-group format designed to enable sharing of tips and techniques plus expert review and recommendations of your sites and campaigns by course tutor, Dave Chaffey. Sites reviewed as examples of best practice will include a range of consumer and business lead generation and transactional sales sites including retail, travel, financial services, publishing and business-to-business. Attendees own sites submitted before the workshop will also be reviewed by Dave with recommendations on "quick win" improvements for you to consider.

The core part of the course gives recommendations on best practice to improve customer journeys and conversion paths across common page types. These include the home page, product category and detail pages, search pages and, of course, landing pages.

The course will also explain how to review and improve the quality of different types of visitor source including referrals from traditional and social media, search engine optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click and email marketing.

Who should attend?
If you are responsible for increasing online leads and sales from a website, the course will help you achieve your goals. The analysis techniques and best practice approaches discussed will help all types of site owners from online sales and marketing managers, content owners or editors and specialists in usability, design and analytics. Customer acquisition campaign managers will also find out how to make their campaigns more effective through routing visitors to the most effective pages.

You will already be familiar with the basic principles of effective digital campaigns, usability and web analytics. This is an advanced course, so basic concepts won't be covered, although questions are always welcomed if you're not familiar with specific techniques or approaches.

Configure Google Analytics to best report and improve performance of your campaigns and website
Audit your site using web analytics reports and expert review techniques to identify "quick win" conversion improvements across key page types including the home page, category and product pages

During a full day at Dell’s UK headquarters in Bracknell, we’ll be hearing about and discussing insights and examples of B2B communication with social media from a wide range of business people who have direct experience of planning and executing communication strategies in which social media have played a measurable role.

The event is divided into three principal sections:

A general overview of the B2B social media landscape
Case study mash-up / unconference
Roundtable sessions on:
- Integrating social media into your programmes in the right way
- Social media and monetization techniques

The second section – case study mashup/unconference – has great promise to be the most interactive experience for everyone. There’s no set agenda: if you have a business story you’d like to tell, you can do that on the day.

We’ve got a terrific line-up of speakers to help everyone make the most of the day:

Neville Hobson, Head of Social Media Europe, WeissComm Group, UK

As a supplier you will have exclusive access to approximately 75 decision makers throughout the event. You will be one of a maximum of 30 supplier companies with a restricted number of companies covering each industry sector, creating a level playing field with minimum competition.

Online Marketing Managers and Directors will attend from predominantly large corporate companies and organisations. Each confirmed delegate will submit company details and indicate the products and services they are looking to acquire for their current and future development projects.

The Summit will commence on the morning of the 23rd November and concludes after lunch on the 24th. Suppliers will be designated their own meeting booth throughout the Summit where they will meet with delegates to discuss their requirements and projects face to face and have the option to view any new and exciting product and solutions that you can offer.

During the two days you will have the opportunity to attend seminars and hear from experts in internet marketing. The opening presentation will be chaired by Alison Fennah, Executive Director, EIAA.
