4. As a result, firms face challenges in connecting to their customer and truly
transforming their business starting from Digital
• Most players see digital as incremental instead of
transformative – digital is not just an add-on
Health Future Vision
• As such, incremental steps will not be enough –
re-imagining in a broader context is key
• Customer engagement goes beyond online presence and
towards a new world of real-time transparency
• To become truly customer-centric, integrated customer
value development should drive all commercial activities
• Digital is a challenge to take head on, as in „now‟ –
all it takes is guts to go beyond the obvious…

performance and functionality?
What are core materials? How is the
product constructed?
•
How fast can we prototype?
•
What features will shock and awe?
•
What day in the life activities can we
observe for design insight?
•
What natural gestures can inspire

The Result: Lines Blurring Between Ads, Content, Commerce
Co-Developed Content
 Consumers and businesses are
demanding to engage directly with
manufacturer and supplier brands –
both via the brands owned content
and as co-creators of content where
feedback, innovations, and new
solutions can be captured in real-time
Launch Video
“Shoppable” Content
 Consumers are seeking nontraditional buying experiences which
combine branded content with basket
and transaction solutions to learn
about products, increase their basket,
and elicit purchases they may not
have made otherwise
Launch Video
Augmented Reality
 The intersection of physical and
virtual spaces, through technologies
like kinect, will be the new wave of
business and customer engagement

Big Data Rapidly Expanding = More Sophisticated Analytics
The market is enormous …
 Big data market will grow at a
CAGR of 40% to $16.9B, 7x
faster than the overall comm &
tech market globally
… And is expanding by the day
 Annual global IP traffic
has reached one
zettabyte, an increase of
540,000x from 2003
… enabling real-time and insight driven decision making for ecosystems and consumers
 1/3 of data center traffic will be cloud traffic created
from brands, retailers, and customers … creating the
potential to “snap” multiple clouds together across
brands, retailers, and agencies
