How can enterprises predict their potential return on investment (ROI) from adding languages? Far too many companies rely on anecdotal data, rough measures based on GDP and the number of people who speak languages, or even less precise guides such as executive gut feel.
Shifting to data helps set up realistic expectations and goals that can be tracked and measured.
Check the evening's agenda and save your seat to join Alison Toon, senior analyst at CSA Research, in our Table Talk roundtable discussion to discuss how to build a full-featured ROI case that reflects the realities of specific companies.
Based on CSA Research’s in-depth examination of 135 languages used in 207 countries and territories, combined with data on income distribution, multilingualism, and other factors, the presentation shows how to predict revenue from languages and use it to create ROI predictions that respond to corporate KPIs and strategies.
Alison will also discuss the Global Revenue Forecaster™ service, a new offering from CSA Research that automates many of the calculations needed to make revenue forecasts.
Amplexor’s Grainne Maycock will conclude the discussion with insights on how to connect business metrics with overall spend in global content as organizations like yours consider digital content solutions.
