DEMYSTIFYING PERSONALIZATION AT SCALE

The past decade has seen many companies set sight on the elusive holy grail of personalization but struggling to go beyond scratching the surface of the potential it can unlock. Scaling personalization, in the most simplistic form, requires building a foundation that begins with data and the ability to surface the insights provided by the data to deliver meaningful & relevant experiences to an individual. In this session we talk about what this means and why this will always be a moving target.
