Walmart’s Head of Financial Services Daniel Eckert will take PYMNTS Summer School Fellows through the fine points of nailing for payments what has become as elusive as finding the holy grail: getting scale, achieving network effects and delivering profits with mobile commerce innovation. Eckert, whose group decides how and why new payments ideas are deployed in the largest retailer in the world, will dissect some of Walmart’s recent experiences in launching and scaling mobile commerce initiatives. Fellows will be able to “dig” alongside Eckert and other experts during a 2-hour interactive session focusing on real-world empirical and anecdotal evidence of how to build and monetize the critical mass that results in platform ignition in mobile payments and commerce.
So, if you are thinking this is a just another “conference”… think again.

Eckert’s session is part of the Mobile Ignition module and will include the 9 ways in which a platform can ignite; how to determine which of these 9 strategies should be applied to mobile commerce; and, success stories and lessons learned on platform ignition with a special focus on the role of the merchant, and much more…
