“I’m sorry, my responses are limited. You must ask the right question.” from “I, Robot” book by Isaac Asimov (or “I, Robot” movie) –> Love this quote as it makes clear the need to ask yourself the right questions, which means you have to understand the problem before starting the journey to find the solution (I believe most of us start looking for a solution without understanding the problem)

Book

Winning with Data

Fiona’s book, Winning with Data in the Business of Sports, has been a huge success, leading the publishers, Routledge, to commission a second edition. It’s considered vital reading for rights owners looking to increase revenue, engagement, and participation and is packed with case studies from UEFA, Arsenal, Portland Trail Blazers, LA Kings, and many more.

To help the industry develop we published a book that provides a helicopter view of the key areas considered in implementing a data-driven approach, or implementing CRM as a strategy.

If you’re a rights owner and don’t have a copy, please get in touch.

eLearning

Winning with Data

Launched in November 2020, Winning with Data is already being used by organisations as part of their staff onboarding and training programmes. The format supports different styles of learning (audio, video, reading) and applies specific sports industry use cases to provide a deep earning experience and the module exercises provide learners with access to marketing-leading software to turn theory into reality.

To further demonstrate our interest in helping the industry develop, we developed this eLearning course, replicating the learning provided in our book but delivered through videos and with exercises to be completed by the learners.
