Eric Pierni, Kijiji, an eBay Company
Listening to the Customer in Chief
eBay Inc. was one of the early pioneers of the "bottom up economy", the theory that major business decisions come not from the CEO but rather from the CIC or Customer in Chief. The result was a culture where employees considered themselves stewards of the business and responsible to their main employer: the customer. Eric reviews how Kijiji (Canada's largest and most visited free classifieds site) leveraged the bottom up economy to build one of the fastest growing online brands in Canada. He examines the challenges of placing the customer first in a short-term profits driven business environment and how the value of that approach was measured.

Beyond Metrics & Dashboards: Developing an Enterprise Web Analytics Strategy
The first step when introducing web analytics to the organization is typically the development of an initial set of metrics and a related dashboard. From there, companies measure current projects, test current and explore new opportunities. While each of these choices may be promising x% revenue improvement, overall revenue impact on the organization is not cumulative of these projects. So how do we leverage the practice of web analytics to grow overall revenue in a cost-efficient manner? Shankar walks thru an example of enterprise-wide analytics strategy, what role web analytics plays and how the metrics can set the proper level of expectation for overall revenue growth.
