Personalization is the key to creating a meaningful experience for consumers across industries. It allows organizations to ensure that the content seen and received by their users is worthwhile and relevant. Needless to say, in striving to create this meaningful experience, brands need to collect an increasing amount of data on their respective consumers.
\nThis growing demand for personalized content and the consequent need to secure an overwhelming amount of data is what breeds the dilemma of consumer experience and data security faced by present-day organizations.
\nAnother aspect of this dilemma is an all-time low consumer trust in brands. The general population has lost faith in brands. This lack of trust has given rise to data security legislations that organizations ought to adhere to: GDPR, CCPA, and the SOX Act amongst many more with several reportedly under conception.
\nTo enjoy the benefits of personalization while balancing adherence to regulations and retention of consumer trust, entities ought to seek the optimal and acceptable degree of data collection and utilization.
\nGartner argues that the value of the traditional 4 Ps of marketing: product, price, promotion, and placement) has faded in the internet-era where prices and product availability are more transparent than ever. This change has made consumer experience the factor that acts as the primary influencer for consumers in this age.
\nA consumer’s digital experience with the brand is largely dependent on their interaction with the applications of the organization. These applications’ flow and working are increasingly dependent on usage patterns and behavioral inputs of consumers. Hence, the information collected through an individual’s data patterns is necessary to supplement consumer experience.
\nArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enable the worthwhile use of this data. When implemented well, these automated systems help create a catered virtual experience that feels relevant to consumers. A consequent personalized experience increases the potential to increase conversion rates and hence returns on investment. Unsurprisingly, 93% of ecommerce consumers expect personalization in their browsing.
\nOmnichannel promotions, location-based consumer services, and targeted content barely scratch the surface of personalized content expected by consumers. It’s reasonable to claim that a relevant experience created through these means can make or break a brand. Nevertheless, collection of such sensitive information and its use renders organizations susceptible to data mishandling and potentially exposing it through data breaches.
\nThe ever-present potential for data breaches along with concerns over unethical use of sensitive data are two aspects hurting trust in brands throughout the globe.
\nThe contradictory tendency of the newer generations to share their personal information in exchange for services despite the negligible trust in brands is called the privacy paradox.
\nUsers have – and are – growing more concerned about the manner in which organizations treat their personal information. More than 40% studied in a survey do not trust companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple to manage their data lawfully, much less ethically. Even for most organizations: approximately 40% consumers have felt their trust has been compromised when using digital services. Only 31% of participants have indicated that they trust organizations and institutes to treat their personal information and data trustworthily.
\nOn realizing that their trusts have been compromised, consumers can and do tend to reduce their interaction with the brand. This reduction can be in the form of reduced spending, or a boycott of the brand altogether.
\nWeak and unethical approaches to consumer experience and data security practices have been met with growing regulations on consumer data security. Regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the SOX Act, HIPAA, and others mean that the companies that fail to act legally and ethically do not only stand to lose their consumer base but also incur heavy fines from regulatory bodies. According to UNCTAD, 128 out of 194 recognized countries have established legislations to protect consumer data and privacy.
\nBut there’s a catch!
\nDespite all things considered, in reality, companies may be using much less data than consumers may consent to. Studies by Gartner and the Boston Consulting Group conclude that when consumer consent is undertaken, that is, when consumers and other stakeholders are consulted before the use of their data, they may be willing to let companies use much more data than they currently use: making consent the key to perfecting the balancing act.
\nConsumer data has become a fundamentally crucial aspect of business models. It is needed for personalization to boost consumer experience, to make better business decisions, to generate more revenue through third party transfers, and to allow personalized advertisements. consumers and other stakeholders have come to realize the importance and the use of this data over the past few years as well.
\nUnfortunately, the current consumer experience and data security practices do not stand in line with consumer privacy expectations. An organization neglecting ethical and legal data use stands to lose out on revenue, incur heavy fines, all the while narrowing their consumer base for the worse.
\nConsent as well as robust security protocols play key roles in walking the fine line between data management and consumer privacy expectations. An organization that handles their consumers’ data ethically stands to gain a considerable edge against competitors through greater access to data, greater consumer trust, and potential to secure more privacy-conscious consumers.

Any small or large organization can no longer avoid – or even delay - digital transformation as they try to remain competitive in an evolving business climate. As aptly stated by Aaron Levie of BOX, “the next 10 years of IT will be about transforming your business.”
\nJust like agility is the “way to move quickly and easily,” digital agility is now the means to adopt digital transformation quickly and easily through the right tools and processes.
\nWhat exactly is digital agility – and how do you go about achieving its objectives? These are the key questions that we shall try to address over the next few sections.
\nIn simple terms, digital agility is the ease with which any organization can adapt to changing business needs – by enabling or changing their business processes. Meredith Whalen of IDC believes that \"the more we get into a digital economy, it is all about adapting and responding quickly as an organization to disruption and changes.\"
\nSimply put, for a successful digital transformation, organizations need to invest in resilient business operations, consumer experience initiatives, and technology. For instance, the creation of an identity-driven digital transformation strategy enables various users – including internal & external – to have the right access to the right technology for the right purpose.
\nHow do you go about achieving your business objectives in digital agility? Among its major building blocks, identity and access management (or IAM) can help in bringing business agility into any organization.
\nTraditionally, IAM has always been viewed as an effective security solution that is necessary for software applications and mobile apps. In short, it has been used solely to “keep the bad guys out.” This is true – but the fact is IAM is now much more than simply acting as an authentication tool.
\nAmong its major benefits, flexible IAM technology can also be used to add to the digital agility progress of any firm. How does IAM technology work in boosting digital agility? Let us discuss that in the following section.
\nTraditionally, IAM technology has been embedded into applications and frameworks such as AngularJS and React. The constraint of this approach is that IAM-related capabilities remain limited to the specific application or framework. As a result, it is a challenge to integrate these applications with external systems.
\nTo create a successful digital strategy using IAM, you need to focus on:
\nBusiness leaders must plan on having a flexible IAM solution in their working environment that can be both distributed and dynamic for changing business needs.
\nFor effective digital transformation, technology-enabled companies must move from a fixed and rigid IT infrastructure – to a more flexible and component-based API architecture, which can easily be reconstructed or reused. Next, we shall see how an API-based consumer Identity and Access Management (or CIAM) can be the foundation of digital agility and transformation.
\n\nA recent PwC report concludes that 32% of consumers will abandon a product or brand – after just one bad experience. This shows a good consumer experience is not just desirable – but essential for business success.
\nCIAM technology essentially combines both these requirements. No matter which medium consumers are using to engage with a brand – be it physical, online, or mobile, CIAM solutions ensure a secure and seamless experience. Plus, using their API capabilities, CIAM solutions can be embedded into on-premises software or cloud-based applications.
\nListed below are some of the benefits of CIAM as compared to traditional IAM solutions:
\nAs a leading provider of CIAM solutions that works for any business model, LoginRadius ensures digital agility along with a seamless consumer experience.

It means the consumer can simply sign into a third party website without having to create a new account for the website.
\nSocial login simplifies registration and login for consumers. For this primary reason, social login is gaining popularity among ecommerce brands and retailers looking to turn visitors into buying customers.
\nBy allowing users to register and verify themselves with a simple click through their existing social media profile eliminates the need for long registration forms, and password recovery.
\nInfact, 70.69% of 18-25 year-olds prefer social login in the LoginRadius' Consumer Identity Trend Report 2020.
\nYou don't need to do a lot for work to implement social login. Here's how it works.
\nStep 1: The consumer chooses the desired social network provider upon entering an application.
\nStep 2: A login request is sent to the social network provider.
\nStep 3: The consumer gets access to the app once the social provider confirms the identity.
\n\nEasy registration: Social login offers simplified, quick and easy registration. It provides the convenience to consumers to register in a single click mitigating the time-consuming process of creating a new account.
\nIncreases consumer sign-up: Since social login offers hassle-free registration, there is a higher possibility of successful sign-up. Also, it induces enhanced consumer experience on a platform.
\nReduces cart abandonment: Online shoppers often need to go through mandatory registration during checkout. With social login, it is easier to ensure that consumers are logging in with a single click, leading to reduced cart abandonment.
\nReduces bounce rate: It is one of the best options for people who hate filling up the registration form. These consumers do not think twice before exiting from a website. Implementing social login can reduce bounce rate and increase the average site time simultaneously.
\nFewer login fails: When consumers do not need to remember usernames and passwords, there is a lesser possibility of login fails.

\nIs your Google search history filled with queries like, \"How to attract buying consumers for my website?\"
\nYou may have a great product and an even better website. However, neither of these two is going to attract consumers to your website. If your product is not digital, most of your consumer base may not even know about the existence of your site.
\nTherefore, you need to figure out ways to attract them, pull them in, and keep them coming back for more. A sound marketing strategy is required for your business to achieve this feat.
\nThese five easy-to-implement, inexpensive tricks will help you develop a marketing strategy to attract online consumers to your website.
\nTo begin with, it's essential to recognize how you want the consumers to connect with your website prior to creating any plans or strategies for the website. This could be how much guest blogging you should engage in or the kind of content you provide.
\nRegardless, the aim of your site is to provide value to your visitors. Most brands use content strategies as part of their inbound marketing efforts to give value and to bring in new visitors to the site.
\nHowever, the key point here is that every consumer undergoes a conversion process, where they turn into a loyal consumer from a curious visitor. This journey differs from one company to another. Therefore, your first step towards attracting visitors should be to lay down the ideal conversion route for your target audience.
\nThe route will go something like this:
\nBuyer Persons works as a representation of a potential consumer. These will function as your stepping stone while piecing together your marketing strategies.
\nIf you want individuals to visit your website and ultimately turn into consumers, the initial step you should take is recognizing who your target audience is and what their patterns and desires are. The personas you have will direct your content production and ensure that you deliver accurate and specific content that your target audience is seeking.
\nWhile recognizing the ideal personas, you should be asking yourself some of the questions,
\nBy identifying the answers to these questions, while choosing ideal personas, you will be able to build content that would be perfect and suitable as per the consumers' requirements which will eventually help in converting them into buying consumers.
\nThe promotion of your content through social media platforms is among the popular ideas to attract consumers to your website. A place where sharing is promoted is social media. Your content can have a wider reach through social media promotion.
\nHowever, being new and getting started on social media platforms can be a tedious job. Consider these factors when establishing your social media marketing strategies to attract potential consumers to your website:
\nBy considering these factors, you can get a hold of the social media channels having the majority of suitable consumers for your industry type. If you've identified that none of your prospects or thought leaders are present on Twitter, you do not want to waste your time there, as it will not lead to an increase in engagement or your return rates.
\nOnce you've identified and started concentrating on platforms, build a publishing plan for social media that allows you to keep to a schedule. You will find several resources that will help you plan social media posts in advance, giving you time to interact with your audience and checking out the competitors every day. Being disciplined about this will allow you to get more visitors to your site.
\nMany businesses today rely a lot on sharing and advertising their material on social media, with around 83% of marketers using and viewing them as a lucrative marketing channel. They use social media to connect and share their content and that of others, and so should you. Through social media accounts, you can share your blog posts with your audience; doing so can increase traffic to your website.
\nSince not many brands reply to follower comments, if you do it, your audience is more likely to go through the funnel quickly, i.e., they convert into consumers of your products or services._ _
\nBy ensuring the presence of an advanced and appropriate user experience, a business owner can have their website generating viable and convertible leads. Businesses can achieve this through valuable content on both their blogs and their website.
\nBusinesses can improve user experience by:
\nInstead of engaging them, a misleading website scares away organic traffic from your site. The quick, intuitive navigation that is simple to use should be a feature on your website.
\nFurthermore, your website should load quickly and be mobile and tablet-friendly. When your site has all these features along with quality content, its search rankings go up, which then increases your website's traffic.
\nDo not provide consumers with a long line of options until you can put someone on the line. Provide them with an easy chatbox, email, or call support for contacting you.
\nYou can even provide your social media accounts information on your website so that the consumers can reach out to you through social media. However, when heading down this path, make sure you reply on time or as early as you can. Research shows that 42% of consumers expect a reply to their complaints on social media in under 60 minutes.
\nMaking yourself more available to your consumer will not only help you create a positive consumer experience but also increase traffic to your site.
\nThe right way to attract consumers to your website need not be rocket science. All you need is a good strategy and consistency to make things work for you. Constant content upgrades can always help you drive traffic to your website; simply make sure they are SEO optimized.
\nDon't forget to build growth strategies after creating content to draw users to your platform so that the leads have appropriate content in their inbox after they have been converted. You should give them the option to subscribe periodically, whether it is monthly or weekly, to receive your content. Another critical part of bringing more traffic to your site is ensuring the website updates the current content.
\nBy following these five tricks, you can make the most of your strategies to attract online consumers while also maintaining them and ensuring that they get converted into leads.

When it comes to cultivating and expanding your employee base, you should realize that it won't just happen upon the ideal team. As the director of your company and personnel, you are expected to know how to assemble high-performing product teams.
\nNo recipe can assure an A-grade workforce. When it comes to creating high-performing teams, you must get creative. With commitment, forbearance, and a little direction, you'll be off to formulating high-performing squads in no time who can take the core product and your business to new heights. Such teams facilitate productivity, foster business development and expansion, and stimulate business earnings. They are also known as growth teams.
\nA Growth team is made of people that are highly-proficient, versatile, data-driven, and courageous. Growth teams enhance the importance of and client base for a product that is already operating through quick, data-informed experimentation.
\nMost companies have different specialized departments for sales, products, and marketing. Much of the advantage of a growth team is having the charter to jump around between these committees and fill voids. They are made up of growth managers, engineers, data scientists, product managers, marketing teams, designers, and data analysts who constantly observe and try potential experiments to see if they work.
\nFor example, while consumer support squads want to be the best at settling issues that transpire, growth teams speculate about how to formulate a user experience and execute tools and technology that motivates would-be clients to convert. Such teams play a pivotal role in ensuring a company is consistently edging towards growth and profits.
\nA CBInsights survey shows 23% of startups fail because they didn’t have the right team running the business. Therefore, having the right team to drive growth in a company, especially startups, is vital.
\nThere are endless benefits of growth teams as such teams do numerous things to drive growth. A special obligation that often falls on a company is developing fresh channels that help in obtaining clients. The growth team can deliver other advantages such as furnishing knowledge and awareness and helping to substantiate product-market fit.
\nGrowth teams focus on how to heighten the ratio of consumer acquisition, retention, and income by optimizing commodities and formulating fresh market and marketing channels. They conduct data-driven and qualitative research and move toward objectives, such as web traffic conversion or stimulating product signups through a coalition.
\nSome of these innovations may look insignificant but have a substantial influence. Uber, for example, saw a rise in new consumers when it solely modified the \"share\" button on its landing page in the app to \"free rides,\" which indicated to users the reward they would receive for bringing in new riders.
\nThe basic component of a growth team is a growth experiment. Growth experiments can differ in length and can be as short as a few days. Altering the layout of a landing page to infer which aspects steer greater traffic — often called A/B testing — could be deemed a growth experiment. This is something marketing teams often do to find the perfect strategy.
\nAcross growth teams, \"10x, not 10%\" is a popular mantra, but it's crucial to understand that while these teams strive for remarkable outcomes, they frequently make a distinction through gradual, cumulative modifications that compound to create significant growth.
\nSo a growth team needs to concentrate on a series of 5 percent developments that sum up to great profits altogether. Because they experiment with and impact a wide spectrum of business divisions (not simply marketing), these teams are required to deliver on and measure against results. They are generally held responsible through internal agreements that act as informal pacts.
\nWith the benefits of having such teams clear, you must be wondering, \"how to create a growth team?\" Well, here you go.
\nWhen trying to build a growth team, there are four critical factors to contemplate:
\nThe first thing that you need to evaluate is that at what stage your startup is at. It would be better if your startup has already found favourable distribution channels where you can endorse your product or service. At this phase where your marketing endeavours are geared toward looking for techniques and schemes to improve your user acquisition, activation, and retention undertakings.
\nYou should have a particular objective that you want to accomplish through growth hacking.
\nThrough these, your growth team will learn which metric to concentrate on so that your startup will get the most benefit from it.
\nYour co-founders and investors must be on board with you in creating a growth team for your startup so that further growth does not remain stunted due to any kind of hindrance from their side.
\nThere are two types of growth team models:-
\nIn this model, various crew members function independently from each other. As such, each team member can prioritize their tasks and resources to enable your startup to reach the destination.
\nThere are two editions of this growth team model. The first one organizes your growth team associates based on workflows. The second organizes the team based on metrics.
\nThe disadvantage of such a model is that there are high chances of rising friction between the members (as all of them work autonomously), resulting in a clash of opinions and conflicts.
\nIn the Functional model, each of the partners of your growth team directly reports to a functioning executive.
\nThe** growth **team consists of skilled people who are well trained, devoted, and knowledgeable in their respective fields. They should be multifaceted and flexible according to the requirements of your startup.
\nYou should have an efficient and competent team comprising of:
\nDespite disparities, the most triumphant** **teams share a common culture, like that of a company or group. The most productive teams adapt and settle in various skill sets, knowledge levels, and professional backgrounds. Remember to facilitate communication among your workers. Communication is vital to ensuring your breadwinners complete their obligations and collaborate effectively.
\nAs your startup starts to scale, there is a temptation to employ more people on board to help with the rising workload. That encompasses your growth team as well. Startups need to begin expanding their growth team, utilizing the 1:5 ratio. That implies that for every five new workers you hire, one should be a new growth team colleague.
\nYou should make sure you have sufficient people on your growth and non-growth teams to provide the required data and its evaluation on time. There should be a healthy and happy environment for work so that there is no tension and distrust among colleagues. Communication, teamwork and feasible goals are an integral part of an adept growth team.
\nTo sum up;
\nThe fundamental functions of the growth team are:
\nThe importance of growth teams is more than the startup founders assume, and therefore, it should have the best members with similar ideologies and zeal to work. The members should be product-focused, innovative, and analytical. As more startups are commencing to enforce growth hacking policies to exponentially heighten their customer acquisition and revenue, creating a growth team has now become one of their top prerogatives.
\nWhether you are a business firm, one of many portfolio corporations, a startup, or a small enterprise, you need to concentrate on creating a professional growth team if your product has already hit the market.

As per Gartner forecast reports, the global information security market is forecast to reach $170.4 billion in 2022.
\nIn this post-covid pandemic era, we saw an increase in the number of remote working employees, which in turn raises some security issues. Yes, you heard it right.
\nToday, remote workers are the number one target for cybercriminals, resulting in a surge in cloud breaches last year. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, there has been a 300% increase in reported cybercrimes since the pandemic began.
\nThat is why the importance of a password manager for teams has become an essential thing for today’s businesses.
\nSo, what is a password manager, and how can it help your team when it comes to cloud security? Read on!
\nA password manager is a software application, which acts as an encrypted digital vault for all your passwords. You can generate, store, manage, or retrieve your login credentials for your internal applications or online services securely with a password manager.
\nA password manager can help your team in four ways:
\nA password manager can help you store encrypted passwords, thus ensuring it is protected. It also allows you to control password access and decide who can access the password.
\nThis software program also tracks and audits password usage across the team, thus monitoring whether there is any kind of discrepancy.
\nWith a password manager, you can generate random strong passwords for each access point. This will ensure that the attacker won’t be able to access all your accounts at the same time of data breach with a single password. Each password is made in compliance with the standard password policies.
\nYou don’t have to remember all the passwords each time you log in. The password manager can help you login in quickly with the convenient auto-fill feature without compromising password security.
\nWith a password manager, you can share passwords with other users in your team. And you can also make password changes frequently, which will again ensure cloud security.
\nSo, you got an idea about the benefits of a password manager for teams, right? Now it’s time to discuss some tips for choosing the right password manager.
\n1. Two-factor authentication support.
\nA recent study from Verizon Data Breach investigations has established that 81% of all data violations happen because of weak passwords and poor management. Passwords can be easily hacked and construed. This embarks a need for multi-step or two-factor authentication for accessing crucial data.
\nPassword managers for businesses can incorporate this functionality in an end-to-end encrypted way with an onus of complete data security. Many password managers such as Dashlane, 1Password include 2FA (two-factor authentication) in well-structured plans.
\n2FA works in such a way that it creates different and unique user checkpoints for data accessing. Generally, this includes a password and a fingerprint, iris scanner, or face scanner at the second step. The two steps in action ensure data protection.
\n2. Think about open-source products with dynamic communities.
\nPassword managers build communities. A wider and diverse community will give rise to more active and protean solutions.
\nA password management tool with an assembled expert community would be a great source for unique solutions to solve problems in an organization. For this increasing demand from password managers, inbuilt forums have been established to decrease dysfunctionalities.
\nThe password managers with an open-source often help share forthright resources eliminating the constraints on tech and f2f interactions. The open-source password managers are more user-friendly and don't compromise on security.
\nWith a smart investment, one can get secure, open-source, and competent password managers. Some of the open-source password managers are Keepass, Passbolt, and EnPass.
\n3. Go for simple and transparent pricing plans.
\nWhen it comes to a password manager for business, always invest coherently. As there are immense options available in the market with forever free and feature scale-up modes, go live with software having transparent, simple, and powerful features. Prioritize better functionality and security over fancy designs or a complicated interface.
\nBefore finalizing a password management tool, always use trials to complete software comprehension and only then commit to billing. Get your complete team-onboard for discussions and analyze the pros and cons of the software.
\nCompare different password manager’s plans on feature incorporation, pricings, and security levels. Research and read the password manager tips for better understanding.
\n4. Look for cloud or self-hosting options.
\nCloud hosting is always preferred and trusted. When finalizing password management software, gather complete details of features, especially hosting services. It has been established that cloud-based password managers for teams are way safer than browser-based ones.
\nThe cloud-hosted features add an extra check for passwords and provide the liberty to use them on varied devices with end-to-end security maintenance.
\nFor businesses working on browser modes, password management works well but accessing passwords from remote locations is limiting. However, cloud-hosted password managers allow flexible access in a safe and reliable authenticated way.
\nConsider this before opting for free-trials or selection procedures for the organization’s password management software. Keeper is one of the biggest present cloud-based password management tools.
\n5. Find solutions with developers and other team members.
\nGet yourself a tool with an integrated team working interface and allow integration of programmatic workflows. This ensures a seamless and flexible flow of work deadlines.
\nMany password manager tools such as Keeper provide chat options allowing team members to easily communicate and implement workflow itineraries on a secured platform.
\nOptions like CLI, command-line interface, and Application Programming Interface (API) makes this plausible and practical. This allows teams to transition between these two options and provides solutions together.
\nPassword managers for businesses like Pass are providing CPI features on a platform with reasonable pricing and plan options.
\nWith a pool of options available in the market, opting for CPI and API integrated tools can aid in security and inter-communication.
\nA password manager has become a vital part of cyber security in today’s digitally connected business world. Therefore, make sure you choose the right password manager for your team. It should have all the security features you need to keep your systems safe from potential breaches. Also, it has to offer simple and transparent pricing plans that fit your budget.
\nAnother key thing is to intercommunicate with other teams - developers, project managers, etc. to finalize your choice of a password manager for teams. These tips will help you to find one that is just right for you and your team.
