  • #7 Notes fpor CU Smartphones are now the new normal and time spent on them continues to grow As desktop plateaus and TV declines
  • #8 Notes for CU: Mobile is now the go to device across our lives It is the glue for our social lives It is becoming the remote for our personal life As technology becomes more integrated with our lives and brings new experiences and constant support from the likes of proactive assistants See stats above The integration of mobile in our lifes means that if becomes more of a behaviour than a device
  • #13 Notes for CU Many significant developments have re-shaped car models in recent years, opening new opportunities - Electification - From EV manufacturing to developing an ecosystem of charging infrastructure and now, integrating home power solutions like Tesla is doing. - Autonomy – autonomous driving technology will open opportunities to re-design mobility solutions - Connected, personalised software - The future of connected cars is hinged to the role of Big Data and its disruptive capabilities
  • #14 Notes for CU At the end of 2016 Amazon unveiled Amazon Go, a new bricks and mortar grocery store concept where customers pick up their grocery and walk out without paying at a checkout. The announcement is expected to have a deep impact on the retail marketing agenda throughout 2017.
  • #16 Notes for CU: Digital and mobile are changing customer behaviour throughout the customer journey Consumer are influenced by digital contents such as videos and car reviews They already buy cars online , through online dealers and auction websites They expect connected features to enhance the product experience
  • #21 https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/249293 Netflix By following their highly demanding process and hunger for passion and consistently high-performing employees, Netflix has transformed from a DVD rental service Airbnb When commissioning a design for their San Francisco headquarters, they invited their interior designers to become a fabric of the offices for four months to experience the culture and take part in the activities. As a result, the headquarters building is stunning: a completely collaborative space that prioritizes green spaces and open areas with many different types of culture walls meant to inspire their employees.  Etsy Working with the Hacker School and B-Corp to train and educate employees as well as hire managers, and decreasing the management hierarchy to make sure all employees have a voice.
  • #23 Notes for CU: There are 4 challenges for auto dealers. - Pressure from Suppliers = OEMs increase their bargaining power and ability to interact directly with the client with connected cars - Pressure from Customers = new bargaining power defined by digital channels - Substitutes = new ownership models such as ridesharing apps (Uber, Blablacar), mobility services (Zipcar, Car2go) - New revenue streams = new ownership products drive alternative revenue opportunities, such as financial products, and services like ridehailing and ridesharing
