"Small signs can indicate the appearance of big things" (Zigmond Freud).  How can we implement hard data to effective marketing actions? I began my career as a marketing analyst at Visa. There I analyzed the core data of customer behavior within retail as well as market trends in various industries.

Leveraging video as a strategic internal communication

It’s unquestionably true that video is not a new channel for internal communications.  And yet, as we’ve spoken to numerous internal comms leaders and their teams over the last months, it’s clearly become a channel that’s experiencing something of a resurgence right now. case-study and interview-based research and the quantitative survey conducted of under 1,000 communicators from across industry and geography suggest that video is an increasingly hot topic at this point in time; 66.4% of the communicators surveyed reported that they regularly or on an ‘ad hoc’ basis use video to support internal comms.

This rise in popularity is perhaps also influenced by the external resurgence of video and new opportunities to communicate on a global level easily. Data shared by that YouTube shows that over 24 hours of video is downlo

Mediation between business units

Mediation between business units is a mechanism for resolving professional disputes by agreement. Mediation between business units, which is an efficient and quick solution that does not harm the achievement of business goals, while at the same time significantly increases customer satisfaction. The system is an alternative and familiar from the world of law, in which a neutral party helps the parties to the dispute to reach an agreement in which the parties have a common interest along with differences of opinion. In fact, these companies are often characterized by matrix management or division management, which implies that a customer who purchases products from the company undergoes several processes with the organization before and after the purchase of the product.
