Key Note – Build A Data-Driven Agency
Paul Barnes
MD at MAP
Everyone is talking about dashboards. It seems to be the latest buzzword for agencies but although the idea of having live, relevant information in your view is solid, the implementation is not so easy.
If you’ve been to the conferences, read the books, looked at other businesses and decided dashboards are for you, but you’re just not sure how to get the data working, then this is a talk for you.
Paul will cover what to track and why you should track them, so your dashboard provides the most important metrics in your business. He will talk about getting dashboards working and building cascaded metrics on sales actives, financial and operational KPIs to drive the ultimate company objectives.
BIO: Paul, MD at MAP, works with over 150 UK Digital Agencies. He regularly speaks on the topics of pricing, profitability, financial reporting and building best practice finance systems exclusively for digital agencies.
He’ll tell you that getting this stuff working isn’t easy, but if other agencies have managed to get it working then you can too.
Panel
Topic: Things that we have do differently to grow our businesses

Computer science graduate, Anna Heyes, began her career in technical project management for Reuters in London before heading north.

The growth of the business to date has been driven by the impact that the Active Profile team deliver for clients and the expertise it has developed in the innovation and place sectors.
