1. Why Pizza is innovating online and you’re not
Dennis Maloney, CDO of Dominoes talks about what is really important in innovation. Don’t just look at the massive change, look for incremental changes that grow larger and larger over time.
And, he asks the question that we should all look at: Are we a pizza company that uses technology, or a technology company that delivers pizza? The answer is probably both.
Today, Dominoes receives more than 60% of their orders online, with more than half of those coming through mobile. But as mobile use exploded, their customers began to expect faster, even more frictionless ways to place their orders.
Take a look at how to actually be innovative, and think — “how many ways can you deliver pizza”:
- Friction burns customers
- Build, test, learn. Repeat.
- Relentless forward progress

2. How to create an experience that spans online and offline
Why e-commerce brands are flipping the script and opening brick-and-mortar stores
Amazon and others are doing it now.
Away’s stores in New York, Los Angeles and London, the brand hosts events including concerts and yoga classes.
Regardless of how convenient online shopping is, consumers still like to visualize, try-on and feel products before purchasing them.
If you are a service based business — think of events and how you. can start to connect with a more engaged audience who wants to do business with you.
Has there ever been a salesperson who closed a million-dollar deal via an outbound email blast? My guess is that the chances this has happened range from slim to none. — Bill Carmody

3. What’s your Facebook Live Video Strategy?
Yes, video is on the rise. No, it’s not for everybody. That said, if your audience is looking for it, then look at ways of integrating it strategically into what you produce and how you produce it.

The BIG take-away? If you’re making “regular videos”, keep it to about 90 seconds; if you’re producing LIVE videos, then look at delivering longer value, of 15 minutes.
