Editor's Notes

  1. Just over 12 months ago ….. We undertook a healthcheck on our customer / channel capability…..it was clear from that, I order to remain competitive ….. To be become a retailer of our own products…..to become financially independent…….we had to change ………. And there were some very tangile reasons for this . …[diagram]
  2. We recognise the importance of Mcommerce for certain transaction types More end to end journeys online (with standard look and feel and a few clicks as possible) Start online – complete in branch …… start in branch complete online…….driven by our CDP Self service to achieve different aims in different locations – Queue busting / upsell / cross sell – incentivisation strategy CDP integrates all of this – build once and drive conformity via user interface and My Account function Mention branch trials – appointment / wifi / queue management
