    GROWTH HACKING FRAMEWORK WORKSHOP

    SEAN ELLIS | Founder @ GROWTH HACKERS

    Who is Sean Ellis
    Sean Ellis coined the term "Growth Hacking" and is considered the founder of the worldwide Growth Hacking movement. He developed and applied Growth Hacking at companies like Dropbox, Eventbrite, LogMeIn, and Lookout, which led to breakout growth for these companies (all worth billions of dollars today). Sean is also co-author of "Hacking Growth", which has been translated into 16 languages, and founder of GrowthHackers.com. He is an experienced entrepreneur and founded Qualaroo (a customer insight company with clients such as Uber, Intuit, Starbucks, Amazon) and served as CEO until its acquisition by a private equity firm. Today Sean helps companies around the globe accelerate customer and revenue growth through workshops, keynote presentations and select advising roles. His work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, WIRED, Fast Company, Inc.com, TechCrunch and on MSNBC.

    Who and why should attend
    Growth Hacking is about accelerating sustainable business growth through rapid experimentation in product development, marketing and user experience. Sean’s Breakout Growth Workshop will help you and your cross-functional team of 2 to 5 people apply growth hacking directly to your business. The workshop is intended for companies that have achieved product/market fit, ranging from startups to later stage corporates whose growth is often restricted by entrenched functional silos and legacy execution habits. While most businesses want to replicate the growth hacking approach used by Silicon Valley’s fastest growing startups, many teams struggle to implement it in their own organization. A limited number of companies are included in each workshop so Sean can provide hands-on help to your team to overcome the typical challenges of Growth Hacking. His insights are based on lessons he has learned applying Growth Hacking in the early days of many well-known startups and helping to drive growth transformation at successful enterprises like Microsoft and eBay.

    Keynote: How the World’s Fastest-Growing Startups are Achieving Breakout Success

    Sean Ellis | Founder @ GROWTH HACKERS

    Growth hacking is helping startups disrupt some of the most powerful businesses on the planet. It is about accelerating sustainable business growth through rapid experimentation in product development, marketing, and user experience. While most businesses want to replicate the growth hacking approach used by Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing startups, many teams struggle to implement it in their own organizations. Sean Ellis coined the term growth hacking after using it to drive breakout growth at Dropbox, Eventbrite, and LogMeIn and has helped hundreds of cross-functional teams around the world apply it directly to their businesses. In this presentation, Sean will share the key advantages of this approach, how you should analyze and understand your overall growth engine and how to align your team around a scientific process for improving performance across all elements of your growth engine. He’ll provide several new examples from today’s breakout growth startups and give you actionable steps for getting started with growth hacking or taking your existing growth hacking efforts to the next level.

    Talk: Prevent Subscription Revenue Leakage

    Laurentiu Ghenciu | Vice President Sales @ 2Checkout

    Acquisition is now just the beginning of the customer’s relationship with your brand. Each stage that follows it — activation, up-sell and cross-sell, upgrades, renewals and retention — represents a distinct moment that impacts revenue. Most companies miss the complex links between the stages that make up the Subscription Commerce Lifecycle. While each stage presents an opportunity for revenue uplift, it can just as easily end in leakage and lost revenue. This session aims to highlight some of the most successful strategies that help subscription based businesses to seamlessly monetize revenue moments while proactively minimizing revenue leakage.

    Talk: What gets measured gets managed. Let's do it right

    Udit Batra | Product Owner @ BOOKING.COM

    Using the right data to inform a product strategy is a make-or-break for companies. We’ll talk about using metrics to close the feedback loop on a strategy, tying in different datasets into a coherent story, and using proxies when scaling up in a data-scarce environment. We’ll cover how to execute effectively on data-driven product strategies, and what to watch out for. How things come together when it’s done right, and how they go hilariously wrong when you miss an angle. The goal is to - through this talk - arm you with the knowledge of how to make data-driven decisions… about data!

    Talk: Building a data-based culture

    Marcin Grodzicki | Chief Product Officer @ SOTRENDER

    Culture is what binds people together. It defines who we are as a group and which direction we’re going. Since we’re building products and businesses it is important that culture doesn’t only give us a warm and fuzzy feeling by being a part of something but also that it drives us towards a real impact. Data can describe our baseline, speed and direction, as well as resolve debates faster, which is why a data based culture is the winning strategy for products and teams that build them.

    Talk: Sell → Service → Scale

    Ovidiu Negrean | Co-Founder @ SOCIALBEE

    Most entrepreneurs fail to build a successful business because they start at the end. And it’s an end they envision — not necessarily what the market wants or needs. It’s not their fault. It’s how popular culture, silicon valley (the series), and entrepreneur magazines headlines teach us. I will show how in order to drastically improve your chances to success you have to first Sell the results so you can get real-life validation, then Service the customer to really understand the problem and to tweak your offering, and only then Scale the business, once you know your efforts won’t be in vain.

    Talk: Confessions of a Professional Cat Herder: Pushing Change

    Bogdan Lucaciu | Chief Technology Officer @ ADORE ME

    Fast growth takes organisations by storm. Teams will be stuck in habits that worked well in the past but are not serving the new realities. Some people will notice an itch and think "this is wrong, somebody should do something about it". Who is that magical somebody? Does this sound familiar? How can you move things, drive coherent and sustainable change while preserving a sense of autonomy and self-governance in your teams? Bogdan is at the helm of the tech team in one of the fastest growing companies in the US, and has stories to share. The talk will cover tools and tricks that will make yourself, your team and your organisation more adaptive and more equipped to the inherent uncertainty that comes with growth. Key words: change management, OKRs, decentralized teams.

    Talk: An intrapreneur’s story of leading and failing at disruptive innovation

    Hannah Keartland | Innovation Consultant @ ex-Cancer Research UK

    “Disruption” is a buzzword across many companies and industries. As Director of Innovation at the UK’s largest fundraising charity (> £600m income per year) I was responsible for establishing the organisation’s response to disruption of the UK charity sector. I established a disruptive innovation unit led by three co-founders. They took an experimental test-and-learn approach to develop and evolve an operating model for disruptive innovation by working on real problems and developing real in-market solutions with target customers. Despite receiving hugely positive feedback about our approach from across the charity sector and the innovation space, the project was stopped after a year. I will share our story and our learnings.

    Talk: Is Innovation The Sparkle Of Enlightenment?

    Ensar Bavrk & Ognjen Lazic @ Codecentric Bosnia

    In the last years we have supported large organizations and startups into pursuing their ideas by eliminating the numerous obstacles and impediments of conventional software development processes. Every digital and nondigital organization are in the space of innovating trough some kind of digital product or process; moreover, most of the nondigital organization at a certain moment are envolved to the point where the only way to continue with growing is to innovate, usually, only space left for innovation is to utilize digitalization. However, an enormous challenge is to provoke innovation. Most of the innovative processes and products are created from dozens of ideas and collective thoughts rather than the single moment of the enlightenment, we will share how we effectively provoke those thoughts and ideas furthermore how effectively we validate them while avoiding sinking in them.

I will walk you through a process for positioning around your strengths and how to strategically choose a market context that makes those strengths obvious to customers.

    Keynote: Jobs-To-Be-Done & the Power of Why – Understanding Why People Hire (and Fire) Your Product

    Bob Moesta | Founder, President & CEO @ RE-WIRED GROUP

    Innovation – new and better products, services and markets – is the real growth engine for most companies, big and small. But despite all their resources, sophisticated processes, expansive consumer research and deep expertise, most companies end up managing innovation like it is simply a game of luck. Bob Moesta challenges audiences to not settle for probabilities; innovators must discover why the customer wants the product in the first place, as well as what kind of product would be better at accomplishing the intended task. Moesta gives organizations of all types – from B2B and B2C companies to non-profits and the public sector – a broad overview of the Jobs theory and its power to transform organizations into innovation leaders. He brings the concept to life with real examples and case studies from across industries.

    Courage. We need more of it. Good Products are more about courage than genius - they stand for something. They are miss-understood at first. Genius is only apparent in retrospect. Product Building is a Habit, the same way that anything is. Releasing early is allows you to benchmark your starting position. People are complex and you can not predict behaviour. Our first plane bared little resemblance to a modern Boeing - it looked more like a hipster toy, so start with it and make smart decisions.

My role at SOSV is to arm founders with tools and frameworks to help them build collaborative, creative and committed teams. In this session you will learn how the likes of Microsoft, NASA & MIT build successful teams; how to appreciate the diversity of mindsets that is essential in a great team; and why most founders never end up running their own companies. We have done this for over 800 startups at SOSV's global accelerators, in China, USA, Europe.

    Who and why should attend
    The Workshop will help you discover why your customers choose (or don’t choose) your products and services and what to do about it. Entrepreneurs and enterprise leaders alike recognize the importance of innovation, but few harness it effectively. Bob Moesta helps make it more predictable and successful.

    This Workshop is based on over 30 years of research and practice by The Re-Wired Group and Bob Moesta, creator of over 3000 successful innovations. Bob combines a systems view of product development with a deep understanding of the progress customers want to make in their lives, to help you shift from hit-or-miss innovation efforts to successful product development.
