A presentation about a few current consumer trends and how they may apply to charities, covering AR (but not VR), data and AI, transparency and growth hacking.
20. Machine learning is becoming more accessible
But it’s still not *that* accessible to non-techies
And yet, it powers so much of the tech we all use every day
It takes all of our *big data* and builds models to correlate and predict actions
21. The flip side of all that data – using data for “bad”
35. “When each goal is achieved, we will provide
evidence to the rough sleeping commissioning
team at the Greater London Authority who will
independently verify that it’s been achieved.
Once this happens, your donation will be
released by this crowdfunding platform to St
Mungo’s.”
39. *Buzzword klaxon*
Growth hacking is a process of rapid experimentation
across marketing channels and product development to
identify the most effective, efficient ways to grow a
business.

Hinweis der Redaktion
We don’t list corporate values on our website and we’ve never had a brand consultancy conduct a workshop to help define our “brand values”. Yet last week, when we asked the Monzo team “what three words would you use to describe Monzo’s values?” as part of a survey for our blog post on diversity, the most frequently cited word (by far) was transparent.
Each team has its own management layer responsible for the numbers
There’s also a service layer – platform, fintech, but that’s boring
The point is to give each team the tools to be successful, and not rely on other teams
