The document discusses how digital transformation is essential for retailers and consumer goods companies to sustain a competitive advantage. It outlines how companies can engage customers in a personal way, empower employees to deliver better service, optimize operations like forecasting, and transform products. Specific technologies discussed that can help include mobile engagement, inventory management, real-time offers, digital/physical integration, personalization, predictive analytics, chatbots, robotics, computer vision, and blockchain applications. The overall message is that digital transformation through new technologies is needed to keep up with changing customer expectations and behaviors.
There is enormous change happening in-store. Endless aisles, mobile POS, pop-up branding, interactive store windows, web-connected kiosks, virtual try-on, flash sales, augmented packaging. Add consumer invention into the mix, and we see almost daily acts of spontaneous experience innovation – show-rooming, social shopping, buy anywhere/ship anywhere.
But where many retailers are missing the mark is when they try to apply on-line strategies to the in-store environment.
The two experiences are entirely different.

What's next after omnichannel? A customer centric approach to retail. Mark Th...StrongPoint
Retailers around the world have faced more change in the last 5 years than in the previous 25, mainly due to a shift in power from the retailer to the consumer. Most of this is as a result of consumer technology allowing shoppers to access information about products and to buy on line from a far wider choice of retailers. In itself, this technology has also undergone change, from desktop PCs to mobiles. So, is it all about managing channels to create an Omnichannel offering, or are retailers now facing a new reality where retail needs a re-design. In this session, we explore what some retailers are doing to create a single approach to the customer across all channels and platforms.
Using Digital Tactics in Retail to drive growth. Growth in Retail is going to come from the digital E-commerce sector. Here are some ways in which high street retailers can take advantage of this growth for their own business.
Presentation given by Douglas Smith of HolyTornado! at the Marketing Innovations Summit in Genk, Belgium on the need for innovation in retail. http://www.marketinginnovation.eu/
The speed with which the digital revolution rocked our worlds has been shocking. 76 percent of marketers surveyed by Adobe agreed that marketing has changed more in the last two years than in the past 50. As brand marketers, we were just figuring out social and e-commerce and then mobile hit and we had to start all over again.
We scrambled, letting the dizzying array of devices, jargon, and acronyms intimidate the hell out of us. We were on edge. With digital budgets nearly doubling each year in China, we felt like we were riding the tiger. We hit the panic button. We set up “digital divisions”, hired “digital people”, and charged our chief talent officers to write jargon-filled employment ads for outsider “digital pirates”. We hoped an influx of “digital people” would save us and our campaigns.
In 2014, however, the avalanche of digital change is beginning to abate a bit, making this the year to turn the corner on digital paranoia and begin to do really great work with a significant digital component. First, digital growth rates are coming back to earth. eMarketer forecasts digital growth rates in China will drop another 50% in 2014 and even drop into the single digits by 2017.
These rapidly dropping growth rates give brand marketers breathing room in 2014 to better align their budgets to match the shift of eyeballs to digital.
Second, smartphones and tablets are no longer “future” devices, but instead they have become a familiar and ordinary part of our everyday lives. Like our target demographics, we use smartphones and tablets on a daily basis, and better understand how to harness these platforms for effective brand communication.
Finally, as the digital dust settles, brand marketers are coming to realize that the core of advertising – great content delivered to audiences at scale – has not changed. The few so-called digital specialists we brought onboard are helping us to migrate great content and campaigns onto new platforms and measure results. We have learned, however, that great campaigns cannot be outsourced to “digital pirates”.
2014 is a year for brand marketers to realize the value of their work at the heart of advertising, and put themselves into the digital driver seat.
With the stage set to make 2014 the “catch up” year for digital in China, the aim of this “playbook” is to help brand marketers raise their digital IQs over the course of 2014 in sensible and measured ways. We have created a checklist of 8 “must-dos in digital for 2014” to be spaced out over the course of the year. The playbook can help brand marketers prioritize and become familiar with new tools and opportunities presented by digital, and to inspire and guide, rather than to overwhelm.

Cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) can make a huge impact on a business. Unfortunately, most start the evaluation of SaaS from an IT perspective and traditional data center advantages (i.e. on-premises costs, staffing and savings). While savings are important, cloud is about agility and speed. For these reasons, line-of-business (LOB) leaders have been more interested in SaaS solutions. Learn how Cognos Business Intelligence on Cloud and IBM dashdb make it simple to get started with collaboration, reporting and analytics.

Cognitive Services: Building Smart Apps with Speech, NLP & VisionNick Landry
Your computer can recognize your voice and detect words in a speech dictation, but can it truly understand the meaning of what you are saying? Can it analyze your intent and respond accordingly? You don’t need a PhD in artificial intelligence to integrate speech and natural language understanding in your projects. Microsoft Cognitive Services (aka “Project Oxford”) is a portfolio of cloud-based REST APIs and SDKs powered by Machine Learning which enable developers to write applications which understand the content within the rapidly growing set of multimedia data. Cognitive Services API services will help you understand and interact with audio, text, image, and video. In this session, we’ll start with an overview of available services for speech recognition and speech synthesis. Then we’ll explore through live demos how to leverage the Language Understanding Intelligent Service which lets you determine intent, detect entities in user speech and improve language understanding models to more efficiently work with user data. Lastly, we’ll leverage Computer Vision APIs to detect human faces, analyze the content of images, and perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect and analyze words within a photo. Come learn how your apps can tap into the same active learning services behind the brain of Cortana, and get started writing smart applications that can understand what your users are saying.

How to Create a More Customer-Focused Commerce ModelPerficient, Inc.
As technology seeps into every corner of our daily lives, both consumers and B2B buyers readily turn to digital commerce to find exactly what they need.

The explosion of consumer data brings a lot of opportunity to the table, however with increased understanding of it's value, consumers want a lot more for it: individualised conversations, predictive personalisation, hyper convenience - and they want this across their preferred channels, on days and at times that suit them. They want a ‘customer-first’ value exchange, and if that’s not received they will find it somewhere else.

How Personalized Marketing and the Internet of Things Will Transform RetailShiSh Shridhar
On Demand Webinar is located at: http://bit.ly/1IqtJbN
Personalized marketing offers the opportunity to reinvent the shopper experience by increasing promotion redemption rates and nurturing a deeper level of customer engagement. But how exactly can you execute a marketing campaign that communicates to each shopper in a personal way? What steps do you need to take and what technologies do you need to use? These are mysteries many retailers are talking about today but few have figured out.
In this webinar, a panel of experts will demystify the Internet of Things and its potential to unleash the power of personalized marketing through mobile devices that optimize shopper engagement in stores. Key topics include:
• Using live data to send customers offers on their mobile phones
• Basing personalizing marketing campaigns on data about location, weather, social profile, purchase history and more
• And creating an Internet of Your Things (using devices and data you already possess) to dynamically manage marketing campaigns and more
At its essence, enterprise social computing is the connection of people to people, data to data and people to data within a corporate environment. The discovery, connection and collaboration occurring among employees through social interaction promote the collection of ideas and the encouragement of transparent information sharing, as well as eliminate tacit information loss through long-term employee attrition.
