This document discusses how consumer behavior and communication preferences are changing rapidly due to new technologies. It argues that traditional enterprise tactics are not keeping up with these changes and that new brands will emerge to better connect with customers. It provides examples of how communication technologies have evolved over time and asserts that customers now expect interactions to be contextual, mobile, community-oriented, and involve asynchronous communications. The document suggests that enterprises need to design customer experiences from the customer's perspective rather than the enterprise's processes and metrics. It advocates for more authentic and conversational interactions across channels to build personal-emotional connections with customers.
