Mobility Outlook 2013
By Chris Marsh, Yankee Group
New devices are being released faster than IT and even consumers can keep up, and 39% of the U.S. workforce is now operating mobile for a significant portion of their time. But what else about mobility in the enterprise has changed in 2012? What are business leaders predicting for 2013?
This report will showcase results of the third annual exclusive and forward-looking research from Mobile Enterprise Magazine and Yankee Group. Rich Karpinski, Senior Analyst, Yankee Group, reviews the transformational 2012 and looks at mobile opportunities of the future including:

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Engaged Employees Sustain Customer Experience Efforts
Customer experience professionals are typically part of very small teams. To succeed,
they need help from a broad base of engaged employees who are motivated to exceed
customer expectations.
Strong Employee Engagement Correlates With Higher Productivity And
Profits
Companies with higher employee engagement ratings have higher pro!t margins.
More engaged employees deliver better customer outcomes as measured by customer
satisfaction, loyalty, and likelihood-to-recommend scores.
Companies Can Create Highly Engaged Customer-Centric Employees
Customer experience teams must ensure that employees have the training, tools, and
autonomy they need to take control of the customer experience.
Perspective 2020 : quelle place pour la distribution traditionnelle dans un m...Datafield
Booz & Company a étudié quatre secteurs : l’hygiène-beauté, l’habillement, l’électronique
& l’électroménager et les télécommunications.
Dans les secteurs de l’hygiène-beauté, de l’habillement, de l’électronique & l’électroménager, la part des ventes en ligne devrait progresser d’environ 50 % sur le marché français, pour atteindre un peu moins de 20 % des ventes en moyenne d’ici à 2020. Dans le secteur des télécommunications, précurseur dans le domaine, l’achat en ligne pourrait même devenir la norme, avec une part des ventes dépassant les 50 % en 2020. La baisse des ventes générées par les réseaux physiques traditionnels est une conséquence directe de ce phénomène. Ainsi selon nos esti- mations, environ 1,7 millions de mètres carrés de surface com- merciale, soit presque 10 % de la superficie actuelle, pourraient être superflus d’ici à 2020 et donc condamnés à disparaitre ou à se transformer. Afin d’anticiper ces évolutions, les marques grand public et les acteurs de la distribution de ces secteurs doivent dès aujourd’hui revoir leur stratégie globale de distri- bution, tant sur les canaux traditionnels qu’en ligne. Chaque acteur est concerné : nous anticipons des changements pro- fonds et rapides issus du consommateur lui-même. De plus en plus connectés et informés, les clients rechercheront une expé- rience d’achat pratique, transparente et cohérente, et ce quel que soit le canal de vente physique ou virtuel. Pour répondre à cette exigence, les acteurs de la distribution de demain devront s’approprier et déployer des stratégies innovantes comme l’approche multicanal, et préparer une mutation en profondeur de leurs réseaux de points de vente, tant dans leur implantation que dans leur vocation.
7 steps to successful customer experience measurement programsDatafield
Customer experience (CX) measurement is essential: Without a disciplined customer experience measurement program, companies will struggle to understand what’s working and what’s broken. This report provides a framework for key decision-making in a seven-step process that CX pros must follow if they’re going to design and execute a successful customer experience measurement program.
The spread of mobile technology has also opened up new data-gathering and analytics possibilities for retailers, but for many, turning the new waves of mobile-generated information into useful insights is still very much a work in progress. Analytics opportunities – and challenges – enabled via shoppers’ mobile devices are multiplied when consumers enter, or even come near, a retailer’s brick-and-mortar store. Mobile-enabled analytics can be used to gain a greater understanding of general traffic patterns and customer behavior, but can also be tied to individualized measurements of shopper activity.
