12. Elevating human experience for automotive customers through digital transformation

As OEMs prepare for the “new normal” customer journey,
they need to focus on three key areas to get the human
experience right
Focus on humans, not on technology Find opportunities at intersections ‘Get it out’ beats ‘get it perfect’
Human behaviour is the fundamental economic
gear of every business. If you can identify which
behaviours to drive (internally and externally) to
get the greatest return, and marshal your digital
resources to achieve that behavioural change, you
are more likely to win.
Do not try to come up with new ideas alone. To find
the future of your business, look for unexpected
intersections, such as those between disciplines
and domains of expertise; across departments and
organisational silos; among industries; and through
partnerships that span markets and geographies.
In a world dominated by uncertainty, the only
way to get effective market feedback is to give
the market something to react to. Succeed faster
through rapid prototyping and delivering Minimally
Viable Offerings (MVOs) into the market. Seek quick
feedback and improve subsequent iterations.
