The digital revolution means companies must reinvent themselves to stay relevant. As the average company lifespan decreases, businesses must get closer to consumers through digital channels. While physical and digital experiences are blurring, most companies cannot yet provide seamless omnichannel journeys. To engage customers, companies must digitize the entire customer experience and transform their operations, technology, and business models to focus on digital. Those that put the customer first and lead in experience will see greater financial returns over time.

Editor's Notes
Digital provides a tremendous opportunity around 4 themes: Re-think, Re-invent, Re-structure and Re-Wire and this presentation will provide context to these 4 themes.
Time to re-think your vision for companies -
Digital Darwinism - The impact of enablement? Since 2000, 52 percent of the companies in the Fortune 500 have either gone bankrupt, been acquired or ceased to exist –
Talk: Fortune 500 typically most reliable companies in the world – Digital darwinism is unkind
Rapid pace of change is impacting business
Average age of a company in 1920’s was 67, last year is was 15 and we expect that to drop to 12 –
Re-Invent business models, etc
Disrupters appear especially during recessions -
In the digital economy kids can be dangerous – e.g. Uber, Facebook, AirBnB, Alibaba
What do they have in common – all digital businesses. How did they use digital – to be closer to the consumer
SUCCESS IS about being closer to the consumer.
Where are these consumers – on their devices
Social example – Twitch.com – online gaming where people watch gamers – average screen time is around 120 mins –
How to reach this audience – with the right context
Re-structure your organisation to get closer to the consumer – in this case Nespresso decided to go direct to customer.
Back to the previous point, because the lines are blurring the experience online will influence the customers’ perception in-store and vice versa
Customers are leaving a digital finger print when ever they interact through digital channels and traditional CRM systems are longer enough to be able to cope with the volume and velocity of data
81% of companies surveyd receive Strong ROI on customers that use “first party data”
Last 10 years investing in “first to channel”, the battle now is to provide a consistent experience through the channels
Now you need the channels and insights to come together to deliver differentiate
Why focus on “context”? Differentiate
Why are customers harder to engage? They are less tolerant of poor service, poor experience –
How to solve this, we believe it is about context – this means that each channel requires awareness of the other channel, no longer good enough to have “first to channel” but a consistent experience across channels.
Take-away: We have a message that has 88% relevancy (& potential demand) in the market.
What is it worth?
Rewire your business -
Experience management across all channels
Capabilities to execute in core customer facing areas
Insight and data consistency to provide personalisation – PCM multiple brands on single platform / CDM
Scalable foundation
Talk through role of “data management” tied to execution platform.
So as a consumer they may start on mobile, move to online, query your brand on social, all to make a purchase - distributed order management? consignments? Real Time Enterprise inventory - ship-from-store, etc – consumers just wants what wants.
It’s an analysis done by Jon Picoult of Watermark Consulting, who took five years of data from Forrester’s Customer Experience Index and constructed two model portfolios. One is a portfolio of the top 10 publicly traded companies in the index (customer experience leaders), and one is a portfolio of the bottom 10 publicly traded companies in the index (customer experience laggards).
You can read details of how Jon conducted his analysis in our new book, Outside In, and in this post on Jon’s blog. The results are striking. Over the course of the five-year period, the customer experience leaders spanked the laggards in stock performance. The leader portfolio had a cumulative total return of +22.5%, compared with a -1.3% decline for the S&P 500 market index and a -46.3% decline for the laggard portfolio.
Something to think about – I’m 40 which means during my working career this could happen – how does that impact marketing!
