Empathy Lab and guest Bob Greene, Managing Director of Online Entertainment for Liberty Global – the leading international cable company – will present The Top Five Critical Success Factors when Re-Defining the Television-Watching Experience at Digital Hollywood NYC on November 15th, 2012. The 45-minute session will include a practical, real-world discussion around TV Everywhere products, with takeaways to include overcoming the most challenging aspects of envisioning, designing and developing a TVE experience, whether planning a new build or enhancements to an existing product.

"You cannot underestimate the hurdles that must be overcome in designing and delivering any type of best in class product," says Jon Molod, Empathy Lab's SVP of Media & Entertainment. "The TVE space brings with it unique business, organizational, technical, and product design challenges that are still very new and quickly evolving. With a successful track record in delivering these products with true industry leaders like Liberty Global, we continue to gain knowledge and expand upon our tool kit for getting in front of, and managing inevitable issues in real time – issues that could stand between good and great."

The panel for Empathy Lab's session includes lead members of the cross-functional Experience Design and Development team who worked closely on Liberty Global's recently launched Horizon.tv cross-platform experience – the #1 downloaded app in the iTunes store within its first week of launch in Amsterdam.
