The document contains charts showing residential home sales and the share of real estate owned (REO) sales in various states from 2004 to January-June 2009. It shows that as foreclosure sales increased in recent years, they made up a larger portion of overall home sales in most states. The data comes from a study by LPS Applied Analytics examining the impact of foreclosure sales on home prices.
The document discusses delegation principles and employee development. It recommends delegating tasks with clear accountability, responsibility, and authority. Tasks should only be delegated to employees with the necessary abilities and skills. Development involves different contributions over time from training, coaching, and management methods. Attitude development may take years and rely most on management contributions. The bottom provides contact information for the document's presumed author.
Revised and extended version of the "Virtual Separation of Concerns" talk, prepared for the GI-Dissertationspreis colloquium at Dagstuhl and for the invited talk at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
The document discusses principles for delegating tasks effectively, including:
- Delegate tasks along with authority and responsibility for outcomes, not just the task itself.
- Only delegate to those with the required abilities, knowledge, skills, or capacity to learn what is needed.
- Different methods are needed to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes in employees; coaching and management methods contribute more over longer implementation periods to developing attitudes.
- Employee perception of their boss as fair and correct is important.
The document contains charts showing changes in home prices from 2000 to 2009 for 14 U.S. states based on a repeat sales model. The charts compare home price indices excluding real estate owned (REO) homes to indices including REO homes. In most states, home price indices declined from their peaks in the mid-2000s before beginning to recover in 2009. The inclusion of REO homes generally resulted in greater declines and slower recovery in home price indices.
Lead Nurturing after the Sales Handoff Accelerate the Buying ProcessManticore Technology
This document discusses strategies for lead nurturing after prospects have been handed off from marketing to sales. It recommends defining ideal prospect personas and buyer profiles jointly between sales and marketing. Then it describes three types of post-sales handoff nurture programs: 1) lifecycle nurtures for new prospects, 2) stay-in-touch nurtures for those not ready to buy, and 3) re-engagement nurtures for dormant prospects. The document advocates mapping nurture content to prospects' buying phases and roles using dynamic content to reduce complexity. It also stresses the importance of leveraging more than just the basic functionality of marketing automation systems.

Licata si occupa di fondamenti della fisica quantistica, modelli matematici dei processi cognitivi e teoria della computazione nei sistemi fisici e biologici. Ha studiato con David Bohm e J. P. Vigier, due nomi fondamentali nella storia delle interpretazioni “realistiche” della meccanica quantistica, con il Nobel Abdus Salam e con Giuseppe Arcidiacono, con il quale ha iniziato ad interessarsi di “relatività proiettiva”, una teoria che sta tornando prepotentemente attuale per le sue implicazioni in cosmologia quantistica. Nel libro l’autore propone un’originale intreccio tra fisica dell’emergenza, epistemologia e teorie cognitive attraverso un approccio multidisciplinare e con profonde incursioni tra i temi dell’Intelligenza Artificiale (I.A.) e dell’informatica teorica.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

Christopher is a: Longtime thought leader in marketing automation He is a founding members of Manticore Technology and is one of the decision-makers for the company’s overall growth strategy and business plan and oversees global marketing and business development.So now I’ll go ahead and hand it over to Christopher.
Christopher: Thanks, Emily. Before we dive into the discussion, I’d like to introduce our speaking panel. Andrew Gaffney: Editor & Publisher of DemandGen Report., a leading e-media publication spotlighting the strategies that help companies better align their sales and marketing organizations - A key component of their coverage being on sales and marketing automation tools. Andrew has served as an Editor and Publisher for several different business magazines and has the unique ability to quickly identify the business issues that resonate and matter most to executive level readers. Subsequently, he has consistently helped create and match content that generates interest and readership among that executive community.Michaela Dempsey – Director of Marketing, Intellitactics, a leading provider of Enterprise Security Management Software Solutions based in Reston, VA. Michaela brings over 15 years of marketing experience to Intellitactics and is responsible for lead generation, web presence, customer relations, outbound campaigns and marcom. She is a marketing automation power user and headed up the purchase and rollout of their marketing automation solution two years ago. Malcolm Friedberg – Principal at Left Brain Marketing, Inc, a Silicon Valley-based marketing consulting firm that specializes in designing and implementing marketing automation solutions for B2B companies. Malcolm Friedberg is a former CMO with 20 years of marketing experience. He first became involved in marketing automation when he was running marketing for a leading financial services company and brought in a solution to support his 60+ sales reps. Since that time, he’s consulted for numerous companies, including Apple, Citrix Online, Euphonix and Small World Labs.
Christopher: I want to start by giving you a little bit of background on why we decided to participate in this research project. At their BtoB Summit in May, SiriusDecisions projects the penetration of marketing automation systems will expand dramatically over the next five years from less than 10% in 2005 to more than 50% of BtoB marketers by 2015. Since the percentage of current users is relatively small, there has not been a lot of research based on user experience. Most of the whitepapers and research you will find on marketing automation platforms is based on analysts opinions or one or two customers experiences with one vendor. As marketing automation software gains momentum and more organizations are looking to adopt it, more vendors pop up and it becomes increasingly difficult to determine what really matters when purchasing a solution. As a vendor, we can make guesses all day long about what is really important to marketing automation buyers, but until this Survey, there had not been much research about what experienced users really felt was important during the buying process, and what overall challenges they encountered when purchasing and implementing a solution from their own internal processes to the solution itself.
Christopher: One of the most significant findings from the survey was the strong correlation between ease of use and customer satisfaction. 97% of respondents that reported their solution was easy to use said they were satisfied with their solution. There was also a strong correlation between overall satisfaction and ease of implementation with 93% of satisfied users saying their solution was also easy to implement. Andrew: What is some of the feedback you got from respondents regarding why ease of use and ease of implementation are so important?
Andrew: Based on the feedback from respondents, usability is important because their needs are constantly changing and if a system is not easy to use, making changes as your needs become more complex is going to be difficult and slow process that requires consultants and/or support. 1/3 of the respondents reported running into unexpected costs during the implementation of their marketing automation solution, with the largest segment (19.2%) requiring consulting services to build and properly use the system47% of respondents indicating they are currently using 50% or less of their marketing automation system’s functionality.Christopher: Michaela, based on your experience at Intellitactics, how did your solutions implementation process and usability affect your overall business?
Christopher: Michaela, how did your solutions usability and implementation process affect your businessMichaela: Christopher the question could really be, how didn’t the implementation affect business, because our enterprise has experienced such success across all areas of sales due to the automation platform. Prior to implementing a demand generation solution, acquiring new customers simply meant MORE - more activity, more content, more engagements and more leads all costing more money. Because implementation was so quick we were able to immediately build out programs. Within two months, we had achieved breakeven ROI, an average60% of leads were entering our pipeline and saw a 171 % increase of sales opportunities from the previous year.In addition, the sales cycledecreased by 30%.Marketing is now able to catch suspects when their interest is high and move them into the pipeline before they grow cold, resulting in 25% decrease in marketing spend. Additionally, sales’ phone connection rates over have increased by 200% year-to-date. We continue to see year over year growth as we are now into our second year with our automation solution and as our sales organization grows the new team members adapt and are able to see results from the product immediately.Malcolm: I do want to add a couple things about ease of use and ease of implementation….
Malcolm speaks…Christopher: So, Malcolm, obviously ease of use is important, but ease of use doesn’t necessarily equal value. How can users ensure that they are getting the value out of their marketing automation system?
Malcolm Speaks:
Christopher: That’s a really good point Malcolm and brings us to our next topic. Another thing that respondents really stressed throughout the survey is the importance of building a process, creating enough content to feed the automation system and getting marketing and sales on the same page prior to adopting a solution. Nearly 80% of respondents said one thing that they would do better if they were implement a solution again is better prepare their organization by building proper processes and content offers to feed the system. As Leigh Kelson with PRM states, “Most organizations we deal with lack a structured marketing process. The fact that we’re automating it literally forces them to think through what the process should look like.”Andrew, did respondents that you interviewed have any suggestions on how to properly prepare their organization?
Andrew: Yes, most the respondents really emphasized the importance of preparing their team before implementing the system. With a huge focus on creating a strategy and getting sales and marketing on the same page. In addition several respondents spoke to the importance of creating an inventory of content to ensure you have enough and the right kind of content to nurture your leads… Christopher: So the respondents mentioned the importance of sales and marketing alignment. Malcolm, how would you advise organizations to go about aligning their marketing and sales teams? And why it is so important?
Malcolm Speaks…Christopher: Thanks Malcolm. Michaela, how did Intellitactics prepare for the rollout of their marketing automation system. What advice would you offer buyers looking to implement?
Michaela: Thanks for the question Christopher – and I have to admit that we were so excited about having an automated nurture tool that we did not see the mountain that had laid before us only the lush garden of our success. This glass full attitude really empowered us to build – revise – and build out an excellent solution for our enterprise. In my opinion there are three critical steps that every organization must do to prepare Number1) Sales and Marketing must come together to accept a starting point and to acknowledge that change in this system is inevitableNumber2) The database must get segmented and cleaned Number3) Test your process and duplicate successAlthough there are only three critical steps listed – each one deserves a considerable amount of thought. Since sales and marketing need to be in-synch, an agreed upon starting point is crucial. Some data sets that may help your organization begin this process are: a list of marketing assets, a review of the last 6 months of closed sales leads, last 6 months of website stats, etc. Obviously additional data points can be incorporated – the goal is to agree on a starting point and refine from there.But I can’t stress testing enough as a critical step - If there was something I would ask for a Mulligan on it would be testing . Test the flow of your process, the offer itself and the tiered offers below it. The goal is to understand review and refine – yes it does take some front end time, but the results gained are well worth the effort.Christopher: Along with the properly preparing your organization by getting a process in place, as Andrew mentioned earlier, respondents emphasized the need to create enough content to create campaigns. One respondent noted, “The platform is important but the success of the effort lies in your ability to develop the content and create the right content flow for different categories of suspects/prospects. Our effort was around lead nurturing and this required a revamp of content that we would push in the campaigns.”Michaela, what is your advice on developing the right content and building nurture programs within the ma platform?
Michaela: The survey respondents comment regarding content is 100% accurate and our decided approach to content was similar to software releases or “versions”. Our initial content distribution campaign would equal version 1, which would really in hind sight be a beta version, but version 1 it was. To create version 1, we took inventory of our asset library, noted the currently successful assets, reviewed our overall marketing mix and took into consideration the time commitment each asset required. Once completing this, we categorized or “mapped” our assets into content buckets. We did do our research and planning internally, but as Malcolm had noted earlier, this is where many organizations may need assistance from a 3rd party. Going forward, as trends emerge, accurately measure what assets are successful and at what stage they had a “success conversion”. From this round of research Version 2 will emerge and the lead nurture process will become more sophisticated.
Christopher: So you’ll notice throughout the survey a huge emphasis is placed on preparation and building the right content. Some other key take aways from the survey in terms of the application, were what users felt was most important when choosing a solution. 60% of respondents said, “Customer Support is extremely important and should be a top priority when purchasing a solution”. And 48% of respondents advised buyers to “be specific in asking about asking about the type of customer support you receive in yourcontract”. 60% oMichaela, what is your experience with customer support? How has it affected your success with your solutions? said,“Customer Support isextremely important andshould be a top prioritywhen purchasing a solution”.48% of respondents advicebuyers to “be specific inasking about asking aboutthe type of customersupport you receive in yourcontract”.
Christopher: Michaela, what is your experience with customer support? How has it affected your success with your solution? respondents said, “Customer Support is extremely important and should be a top priority when purchasing a solution”. Also : 48% of respondents advice buyers to “be specific in asking about asking about the type of customersupport you receive in your contract”.Michaela: Christopher,two critical team players in our marketing organization are the software platform itself and the team of support that is available to us, better know as customer support. The customer support team is obviously critical to implementation, but they have also been a continual source of valuable information on how to improve our processes, providing us with best practice solutions, new features and better ways to capture data through reporting.As stated above – the basic principle of success is predicated on teamwork at EVERY stage. Customer support is an unbiased group that can provide your enterprise with valuable knowledge not only from a software prospective, but from one of collaborating with a larger group of customers. Our enterprise continues to see great growth from our automation platform and a good portion of this can be attributed to leveraging the support team.Christopher: Malcolm, what questions would you advise CMO’s to ask vendors when checking out various platforms?
Malcolm Speaks: Christopher: Thanks, Malcolm. Andrew, what other major pieces of advice did our respondents offer to ma buyers?
Slick interface commentTrial comment
Andrew: Although the respondents did provide great feedback based on mistakes they made in the purchase or implementation process and things to beware of when purchasing, overall the majority of respondents were positive about their overall experience, and found value in their marketing automation solution.
