Gamification: the step to the customer-driven organization

If you take good care of your employees, they take good care of your customers. Your employees therefore play a crucial role in the success of your organization. Various studies have shown that only a part of the employees are really involved, which means that a large part is not. How are you going to ensure that these people will make a positive contribution to the success of the organization?

Case: ABÉO Group
Speaker: Carl Padberg & Mike Risseeuw
Session type: Presentatie
Language: Dutch

Description session:
Growing worldwide is not easy. Barriers to global rollout are usually stakeholder buy-in, fear of the unknown and budget and resources. In light of these challenges, it can be tempting to continue without a solid foundation and hope that the project gets underway and receives support.

To successfully expand your program, a global blueprint is needed instead. In this Roundtable, Carl Padberg, who works at ABÉO Groep, will explain how they made their blueprint and rolled out their strategy. During the session you can explore the most important considerations for creating this blueprint and give you insight into whether your program is effective in new regions.

Questions are answered such as:

  • How should you set up a global blueprint?
  • What is the level of sponsorship and what do you need?
  • How should you structure your project team?
  • What should the architecture of technology be?
  • You start with guidelines on how you can apply it within your organization.

In addition to chair DynamicsHUB, Carl Padberg is also chair of MigrationLAB, where topics such as rollout and migration are central themes.

Session type: Presentatie
Language: Dutch

Description session:
The human side of the migration project - change management, how do you approach this?

During a migration project the focus is mainly on the project group and the relationship with the partner. Project plans are made, deadlines are met and (certainly towards the end of the project) employees work full time. In general, the rest of the company is only actively involved at the end of the project, during training. This can cause problems; people react negatively, start thinking about their own job and this possibly causes delays.

To prevent last minute bumps in the process due to these developments, change management is a vital part of the project.

In this session tools will be discussed on how you can shape the change process for people within the organization. Based on the number of customer cases, best practices are discussed and the following questions will be answered:

  • Why is change management an important part of the project?
  • Which parts does this consist of?
  • How do you prepare a communication plan?
  • How do you prepare a training plan?

The aim of the session is to get an insight into the extent to which you have change management on your agenda. Discover what steps you can take to include change management in the project.

This session is a round table, where discussion and sharing of stories are central. In advance, participants will be asked in what phase they think they are in the process. They can also let us know what questions they want to get an answer on.

Client case that is being treated is, Klok Groep from Nijmegen. Klok Groep was originally a construction company that was transformed into a facilitator in the construction process. They have a showroom with entire houses, so that potential buyers of a house can experience the experience of their potential house live. All parties are united in the showroom (interior, kitchen, bathroom an garden specialists).

Klok Groep started the implementation of Dynamics NAV in August 2017, the project went live in May 2018. During this project, Data Migration and Change Management was extensively discussed.

Financial director of the Klok Groep Jeroen van der Bron, he was the owner of the project. During the project he played an active role in data migration. Rick Gruijthuijsen form Solutionhouse NL was project manager and organized the project group.

Description session:
In this session, Rik Gruijthuijsen discusses the practical problem of data migration. Within an organization, migration processes are often being underestimated. Moreover, a migration must have its own plan to keep focus.

Learn more on how you can prepare a practical data migration plan. By doing this we need to take into account:

  • Different roles and responsibilities.
  • The preparation of a data migration plan
  • The integration of the test plan in the project plan.

It is very important that data migration is started on time. It is not an option to wait too long because of the amount of work. Meanwhile is isn’t an option either to start immediately at the beginning of the project, because the target application is not yet 100% complete. This timing challenge will also be discussed.

At the end of the discussion, the participant will have a clear picture of the impact of data migration and that it extends far beyond the technical action itself.

This session is a round table, where discussion and the sharing of stories are central. The participants will be asked in advance about the phase they think they stand in the process. Also participants can let us know what questions they want to get an answer on.

Session type: Roundtable
Language: Dutch

Description session:
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a discipline of AI that developed rapidly in the last years. It is used to automate many different processes; creating subtitles for videos, making archives searchable or even to understand what your customers are trying to tell you on the phone. Creating accurate subtitles has a direct positive impact on the accessibility of your video-content while transcription of customer calls offers great potential to truly understand the voice of your customer.

All of these use cases have one thing in common: They are highly dependent on the accuracy and reliability of the Automatic Speech Recognition.

In this Session, Thomas Dieste will explain the basics of how Speech Recognition works, how far the Speech Recognition of Google, Amazon and IBM reaches in languages like Dutch, and how this technology can be used to automate processes and to generate customer insights.

Company Webcast, the leading provider of webinar and webcasting solutions within the EU, will give some insights on how they use ASR which is specifically trained to understand their clients to generate subtitles for viewers that are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Description session:
The retail and distribution sector is confronted with rapid changes and high demands. And of course everything must be done as efficiently as possible. Because how do you ensure that all partners in the logistics chain know where the products come from, where they are now and in what condition? How do you prove that delicate goods have been carefully transported and stored? How do you prevent manipulation and how do you resolve disputes quickly?

Many players in the distribution sector and the food industry are digitizing their supply chain. And others, such as clothing manufacturers, have the same challenges. They also want to optimize transport movements, prevent surpluses and thus reduce not only the financial but also the ecological impact.

In this presentation, Codit will discuss the following questions and statements based on a customer case:

"How do I set up a collaborative supply chain?"
"Lack of transparency causes a large part of food loss"
"Chain transparency is one of the basic principles of corporate social responsibility"

You will learn more about the possibilities of IoT with blockchain technology and API integration and how this can even be implemented in your organization to a large extent in a standardized and highly adaptable and scalable way. In this way the visibility, responsibility and efficiency of the distribution chain is made transparent. Smart contracts compare pre-set rules with actual data about, for example, storage and transport. This allows multiple parties to use the same, transparent data and collaborate to guide raw materials or products through the logistics chain as optimally as possible.

Codit will give a demo on the basis of a customer case how they have set up the Track & Trace for Retail solution.

Description session:
One of the most basic success factors during and after the implementation of an IT application is a well-functioning core user team. Unfortunately, that team is often a poor child.

The implementation partner often adds - almost as if by little - a profile with regard to the role as a core user to the project plan and leaves it to you as a customer. Who, how and what? It is up to you (as a customer). As long as the team is able to facilitate up to live gan. At most, that the core user (s) come back on the table with less functioning; but then as project risk.

Because a good core user team is so essential, we look further into the role of the core user in our session. What is a good core user? What tasks and responsibilities have been assigned to this group? But also ... how do you give key users the right place in the organization and how do you ensure a lasting contribution from this group?

In other words, when do you say? YES! We have core users!

Description session:
Four views on talent and the associated strategies - panel discussion

Talent management is about investing in people in organizations. The goal is to achieve optimum returns on talent. The implementation of talent management in organizations depends in practice on what is meant by talent. How talent is looked at in organizations is very varied. In practice, this results in different talent strategies that run through each other. A clear vision of what talent is seems to be lacking and as a result, opportunities are lost.

The scarcity of qualified talent on the labor market means that organizations sometimes stagnate in their growth or have to adjust their strategic objectives. Talent management is never the goal. Talent management is by definition a means to achieve strategic goals and to continue to exist as an organization. But what is talent management then? What do you have to do to get started?

A clear vision of talent and a talent strategy geared to this are the starting point for this and count as the essence of the profession.

In this session, these questions are addressed in the form of a panel discussion. Stories are shared from four perspectives on how Talent is viewed and used in these groups.

Description session:
Rens Pels from Full Force Digital and Rob In der Maur from Adobe Benelux will use a customer case from a well-known FMCG player to explain how you can optimize customer engagement by using data and content correctly. After the session you have insight into how you can create personalized experiences in real time.

Personalized customer experience is decisive for companies. There is a worldwide awareness that customer-oriented entrepreneurship is now really necessary. Approximately 60 percent of marketing managers indicate that the business model used is under critical or significant pressure to adjust to changing market conditions. To organize a successful customer experience, we increasingly think from customer journeys and involve the customer more and more in improving our services. We are particularly concerned with "experience thinking", but how are we going to actually turn this into "experience making"? That question is explained during this session.

Session type: Presentatie
Language: Dutch

Description session:
You will never finish learning. Lifelong Development. Flexibilisation in education. The playing field is changing. From a diploma factory to a full-fledged player in the region, but also working nationally, European and internationally with strategic partners. Because of the ambitions that colleges have, and the shrinkage in the region, your "seats" are simply not filled anymore.

Most educational institutions will recognize these topics. Information systems contribute to this transition. They may even be preconditions for such a transition, but what do you invest in? Never before there has been a need for it, the focus was mainly on feeling, experience and emotion. Now the right choices have to be made. That’s’ where you need to have the insights. More data-driven (managing) is unavoidable.

As an educational institution, how do you ensure that these information systems are properly set up and that work processes are supported? During this session a broad CRM project is presented with various objectives: Process support for training and development of Professionals, Dashboards on intake, process support for Public Affairs and the basis of the management organization and the system needs to be in place.

During this session you will hear from Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen how they are working on this transition in relation to the underlying business processes and systems. Max Schoenmaker, Advisor & Product Owner CRM from Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen will share his experiences and plans. In the current process to get the students to the right place (in front of the gate), Hanze works together with Microsoft Dynamics partner BusinessBase. Hanze is setting up marketing together with BusinessBase Dynamics 365. During the Q&A the Marketing and Education experts of Dynamics will answer questions from the audience.
