| Hugh Macfarlane Founder & CEO of MathMarketing Author of "The Leaky Funnel"
As a young marketing graduate, Hugh Macfarlane set out to learn what truly great B2B marketing looked like. What he found was frustrating. Thought leadership from academia and business writers was almost exclusively confined to consumer markets. And practitioners were often either engineers having fun, consumer marketers spending money with little expectation of a return, or sales people who had retired hurt.
As a now slightly less-young marketer, Hugh has gained the kind of experience only acquired by personally making every B2B mistake, at least once.
In his last real job, Hugh was responsible for the Internet business of Digital Equipment Corporation in the South Pacific. At Digital, Hugh's team of sales/marketing, technical support and consulting personnel helped Digital's customers and partners capitalise on the potential of the Internet and its commercial capabilities. In doing so, Hugh grew Digital's annual revenues from this segment from $2 million to $35 million over 18 months.
Hugh holds a Bachelor of Business Marketing Degree, attained Certificate Practicing Marketing (CPM) status and Fellowship of the Australian Marketing Institute.
He has learned from, and provided advice to, some extraordinary individuals over the last 20 years. They have been investors, Boards, CEOs, Directors of Sales or Marketing, and other senior managers of global and local corporations, leading in their fields of IT and telecommunications. He has also learned enormously from contemporary thought-leaders who have shared their wisdom through books and papers.
Hugh has personally led over 300 marketing growth projects in five continents, and trained B2B marketers throughout Asia Pacific, Europe and North America via Funnel Academy. MathMarketing and its partners have also helped many leading and aspiring businesses to develop a clear plan for growth with Funnel Camp.
Hugh's passion is aligning Sales and Marketing to the way businesses buy. He is the author of The Leaky Funnel, the founder and CEO of MathMarketing, and a widely published writer and speaker on all matters 'funnel.' |

Facilitated by Rob Scott, Global Lead for HR Strategy & Innovation, Presence of IT Don’t miss your opportunity to hear first-hand what achieving “Excellence in People” through the cloud is really like. Modern HR in the Cloud A global shortage of qualified labor, low levels of employee engagement, the proliferation of data, and dramatic shifts in the consumer experience have all provided businesses with new opportunities and new challenges. It's a service-centric economy and it's not just about customer service—it's also about taking care of your employees. The need to recruit and retain strong talent, maximize workforce engagement and effectiveness, and provide your workforce with the intelligence to enable data-driven decisions mean that the role of HR is more important than ever. Translating modern HR from concept to reality will take a blend of thoughtful strategy and supporting technology. Learn why the four tenets of modern HR—being talent-centric, insightful, collaborative, and mobile and engaging—matter and how you can leverage them to your company's advantage. The Neuroscience of Leadership Development: Developing New Leaders by Transforming the Brain Can neuroscience help us to create better leaders? NeuroLeadership is a new field of research exploring the biological underpinnings of leadership tasks such as making decisions, regulating emotions, enabling collaboration and facilitating change. In this insight and research-rich session you will discover the big surprises emerging about the brain that help explain why selecting and developing leaders is so tough, and how we might do this better. Applying Neuroscience with Oracle HCM Cloud Innovation is driven by talent so employing the best talent is key to any company's success. The problem is that while you know that, so do your competitors. And with an increasingly empowered and mobile workforce—one that is easily discoverable via social recruiting—getting the best talent in the door and keeping them there is harder than ever. Learn how you can emerge victorious from the talent wars by building a strategy that is truly talent-centric, leveraging social and intelligent recruiting, a tailored approach to learning and development, and comprehensive and thoughtful talent review and succession planning. Customer Case StudyBuilding a Talent-Centric Strategy: How to Find, Develop and Retain the Best Being a good manager and meeting business objectives means having the facts at hand to make the right decisions. While the insights needed may differ from role to role—a line of business leader needs to know who on their team is performing, who's not and who's at risk to leave, while a C-level executive may want to know which market is ripe for expansion—the need for relevant and timely data is a constant throughout the organization. Technology and the massive increase in scale and diversity of people data-sets have made this possible and the C-suite is looking to HR to lead the charge. Learn how talent intelligence, predictive analytics and big data can provide the insight and answers that your company is clamoring for. Growing a Collaborative Culture: Bringing Social into Your Workplace People are naturally social creatures and are often more motivated by social reasons than monetary ones. Savvy social media providers have tapped into this and changed the way we interact, affecting everything from how people develop and nurture relationships to how they share opinions and manage their careers. When it comes to the workplace, social recruiting is an obvious example of how things have changed. But it goes beyond that. HR is being asked to facilitate communication and collaboration throughout the organization to increase both employee effectiveness and engagement, and HR leaders are turning to social for help. Learn how you can use social to create a collaborative environment, helping employees connect with colleagues, expand work relationships, give kudos, gain expertise and share knowledge. |

Speed, Simplicity and the Power of Oracle Cloud in Action The Cloud and SaaS applications have been around for years. Yet in today’s fast moving, hyper-connected and mobile world – the stakes are even higher to move at the speed of your customers, and modernize your entire business quickly to whatever changes come tomorrow. Think of a large enterprise, moving like a start-up. This is a modern business. And to be a modern business, you need a modern cloud.
The Modern Customer Experience Businesses today have moved from using social platforms like Facebook and Twitter as merely a means to broadcast content to really listening, mining and understanding the social data to provide stronger insights that help deliver a better, more personalized customer experience—across all customer touch points. That’s a modern customer experience. Social has grown up and is proving its worth across more than just marketing, extending insights and benefits across nearly every aspect of the business including service, sales, commerce and more. Today businesses must have social woven into fabric of daily business operations from marketing and sales, to service and research, to employee communications and collaboration. |
