Agenda

Messaging:

• Messaging planning deck from @speedwyre

• Planning interviews with target audience

• Workstream for creating messaging

• Need to target awareness of OVP Compliance Tests – @speedwyre will ask Rick about it and send Nick update

• From the governance call:

  • Marketing discussion; need to get idea of what CNTT messaging needs to be to business decision makers who are ultimately deciding on adoption.

    • e.g. Starts with Technical arm, moves way up to VP

    • VP typically will sponsor business case

    • VP typically will want to want to know benefits, set of data point to say why beneficial to company

    • ...typically will also go to Financial approval arm of company

    • Marketing would like to interview business leads to get a sense of what they are thinking.

    • @Mark Cottrell recommendations

      • AI - ask members to host the call with the business decision maker with Marketing workstream. This is major ask.

      • AI - could also ask members to collect feedback if unable to get an interview.
