Sourcing for Autonomy, Resilience and Competitive Advantage. Global platforms offer incredible speed and innovation, but they also create deep dependencies that can expose your business to vendor lock-in, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory shifts. For today's CIO, the central challenge is no longer just about technology adoption; it's about building a digital foundation that is both agile and resilient. Strategic sourcing is the key. It has evolved from a procurement function into the primary tool for CIOs to navigate uncertainty, mitigate risk, and achieve digital autonomy. This session provides a practical playbook for using strategic sourcing to build a future-proof enterprise.

L'IT Public au point de rupture : Vers un modèle à l'usage ? Transformer l'inertie en agilité : le défi du service public. Le constat : L’ère de la possession touche à sa fin Le citoyen n'attend pas que vous gériez des serveurs ; il attend des services. Pourtant, le modèle IT public reste prisonnier du « faire » plutôt que du « résultat ». Entre des budgets CAPEX verrouillés sur 5 ans et des cycles de procurement qui naissent périmés, l'écart se creuse. Le dilemme est stratégique : Comment passer d'une infrastructure que l'on subit à une informatique pilotée par le résultat (Outcome-based IT) ? Est-il possible d'adopter la souplesse du Cloud sans abandonner les clés de notre souveraineté ? L'objet du débat : Le "As-a-Service" au-delà du concept Nous vous invitons à remettre en question les promesses des modèles orientés vers la consommation. L'objectif est de débattre, sans tabou, du potentiel réel de ces approches pour le secteur public : Inverser la responsabilité : Passer de l'achat de matériel à l'achat de niveaux de service (SLA). Est-ce le secret pour libérer vos équipes de la maintenance ? Aligner le coût sur l'usage : En finir avec le surprovisionnement pour ne payer que ce qui est réellement consommé. Agilité "Procurement-proof" : Comment le modèle à l'usage permet-il de scaler en quelques jours ce qui prenait des mois d'appels d'offres ? La souveraineté par le contrat : Le "As-a-Service" sur site est-il le compromis idéal entre contrôle privé et flexibilité publique ? Le Format : "Zero Slides, Full Insight" Pas de présentation ni de marketing, uniquement une confrontation de visions entre pairs : Cercle restreint : Décideurs du secteur public francophone. Règle de Chatham House : Ce qui se dit à table reste à table. Débat pur : Une discussion structurée autour de vos doutes et de vos ambitions numériques.

How Goosehead Insurance revamped Its marketing strategy & boosted performance with Jasper
Goosehead Insurance uses Jasper for content creation and distribution to manage their marketing campaigns. The results include increased content output, ROI, and speed of delivery while maintaining control of brand voice.
In an increasingly competitive insurance landscape, Goosehead Insurance, an independent personal lines insurance agency operating throughout the United States, found itself facing a significant hurdle: how to scale up its marketing production without compromising on quality or overburdening their small and recently established marketing team. With a need for fresh, engaging content that could capture their target audiences, Goosehead turned to Jasper - an AI-powered content creation and distribution platform - to transform their marketing approach.
Seeking an innovative, efficient solution for content creation, Goosehead Insurance opted to employ Jasper's AI-driven capabilities to optimize its marketing program. The platform offered an extensive suite of features that enabled Goosehead's marketing team that includes Leslyn Felder and Jaycie Nesbit, to swiftly create and disseminate a wide variety of content. This included blog articles for the company's online learning center, email campaigns targeting potential and existing clients, and repurposing social media content to maximize reach and engagement.
Jasper's strategic integration into Goosehead's marketing workflow led to a substantial increase in productivity and allowed the company to witness several performance gains. Goosehead observed the following impressive results:
In the first quarter of the year, the marketing team wrote 44 new articles for their learning center blog—a volume possible because of Jasper. The platform allowed them to ramp up their content production speed, enabling them to consistently publish five articles each week. From this material, the team rapidly created social media posts to support their website traffic goals. Leslyn said, “Jasper enables me to create at a pace that ensures I can attend to the variety of my responsibilities and still achieve our goals. From one piece of content, I can easily develop derivative assets and have time to analyze performance, rather than spending it all on the creation itself.”
Goosehead observed a remarkable 22% click-through rate increase in email campaigns utilizing Jasper. The team attributed this improvement to the platform's ability to craft and test compelling content that resonated deeply with recipients, enticing them to engage further.
Instead of struggling to customize content for three disparate audiences, Jaycie commented, “I took concepts that worked in past campaigns, assigned specific tone and style to each audience and Jasper created the appropriate outputs for me.” With Jasper Brand Voice and email templates, Jaycie can now work rapidly with control across separate segments, writing 30 emails a month. Added personalization and segmentation contributed to a 20% increase in revenue between Q3 and Q4. “Jasper allows me to move more quickly and more confidently for each of my target segments; I can go to market faster, test messages faster, and make improvements faster.”
Leveraging Jasper's capabilities and with input from their Customer Success Manager, Goosehead's marketing team was able to overhaul their franchise-facing website and achieve significant time savings. Using content improver and paragraph generator in Jasper, the team updated this website to be more relevant to their franchise audiences. Since the content was adjusted for a new audience, it took a complete revision for every aspect of the website. Jasper helped develop benefits statements, FAQ documents, differentiation copy and market analysis to bring depth and specificity to the multi-paged website. As a result, Goosehead achieved an impressive 87% increase month over month in visibility for their franchise pages. This invaluable partnership helped elevate Goosehead’s brand and drive business growth.
The successful integration of Jasper's AI-driven solution into Goosehead Insurance's marketing program has had a positive impact on the team’s productivity and performance. With the help of their dedicated customer success manager and access to the platform's features and capabilities, the marketing team could effectively scale their operations and establish themselves as a department that was creating new effective content and generating revenue for the business. Leslyn puts it best; "We are a small but mighty team, and Jasper adds the muscle power to make us mightier."
