Our world is becoming
more digital and context aware

3.
Our way of life is
becoming smarter

4.
And the customer experience
we expect from brands

10.
The idea. What is mine is yours, for a fee

entire population of Greece,
Sweden or Switzerland

12.
Only it isn’t new, we’ve been sharing stuff for ages.
Like clothes with your best friend or relative

13.
The new thing is the innovative construction, enabled by technology,
which creates the trust needed to do business with strangers.
Trust
Efficiency

14.
The main reasons for sharing
those products with others
Convenience
Better price
Product/service quality

15.
And it won’t stop here, new fields will open up!

16.
Corporations are creating internal versions of Uber and Lyft.
Healthcare companies are developing ways for people
to share a variety of expensive medical equipment

17.
Plenty of opportunities for services to create an engaging,
all-in-one user experience, even in the crowded markets.

Most important. It’s not about
technology anymore, it’s about
convenience
speed
connectivity

19.

are becoming more connected (device mesh)

“Gartner defines the device mesh as including mobile devices, wearable,
consumer and home electronic devices, automotive devices and environmental
devices — such as sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT). What’s so compelling
about this trend from a manufacturing standpoint is the potential to capture
quality, cost, time-to-market and most importantly – customer feedback –
during each phase of a product or service’s journey through the value chain of
a business. Accuracy, agility, time-to-market and quality will all drastically
improve as a result of the device mesh becoming more commonplace.”
Gartner

21.
As we get more and more connected
our ways of communication will be
faster. Our time to communicate with
each other will decrease dramatically
while our expectations towards
companies reaction speed grow
rapidly.

22.
We’re moving towards holistic connectivity in our world
based on the context we’re in.

23.
A world in which that
context is becoming digital

People, knowledge, devices, and information are networked

26.
It’s more than a networked society based on connectivity.
A better customer experience is mandatory and that calls for a customer centric strategy.

27.
#2
Customer Centricity

28.
It’s becoming more and more important to have a customer centric focus
in your company’s vision and daily processes

29.
But too often you see companies working on the short-term sales
instead of the long-term customer experience

30.
Lines between offline and online shopping experiences are blurring
17%
visit a store first, and
then purchase online
32%
research online, visit store to
view product, then return
online to purchase
51%
research online and
visit store to purchase
44%

31.
Customer centric means
fast and easy-to-use
A 24/7 mentality
Delivering the right content, at the
right time on the right channel when
the consumer is asking for it
Extreme simplicity in every
touchpoint

32.
Digital transformation in the age of the customer. With customers in control of their interactions with
brands, businesses must create positive and relevant customer experiences across channels and
touchpoints.

33.
5%of organizations feel that they
have mastered digital to a point
of differentiation from their
competitors.

but have a long way to go

34.
We know that a full customer-centric marketing strategy doesn’t happen overnight.
It requires organizational changes, new processes, other tools and platforms

35.
But most of all a new mindset whereby the customer, his buying journey,
individual preferences and life cycle take centre stage for everything we do as companies.

36.
It’s not only about automating processes, also about touching people’s hearts
and about motivating employees to take part in this journey

38.
But don’t forget to put the customer at the heart of the digital transformation.

39.
The rise of artificial intelligence for smart machines and
virtual personal assistants help to deliver an excellent customer experience

40.
"Over the next five years we will evolve to a postapp
world with intelligent agents delivering dynamic and
contextual actions and interfaces,"
David W. Cearley (Gartner)

41.
No more filling in forms
or dealing with menu’s
but let the VPA’s do
all the work

42.
#3
Data-driven
ecosystems

43.
Whether we're looking for coffee, clothes or a vacation in Mexico,
the internet has changed how we decide what to buy and when to buy.

44.
And we get to a point where we can push customers into a direction, based on behavorial data,
before that behavior will even occur.

45.
Across the three dimensions of digital transformation — organization, operational process, and
technology — businesses are working hard on making steps in creating a better customer experience.

46.
But companies are
struggling with their
traditional way of
working. Delivering an
average digital
experience.

47.
With limited understanding of their customers, and little knowhow on how to get useful insights,
how to turn those insights into actionable steps, and get measurable results.

48.
To deliver a unique and necessary
customer experience you need a
data-driven ecosystem that;
collects high velocity
streams of data
analyzes an enormous
amount of data points
automates a set of
collection of journeys
is scoring the environment
and all journeys upfront

49.
A data-driven ecosystem based on delivering the right experience through every touchpoint

Connecting existing datasources and building
towards a data-driven ecosystem
All the information and data is collected in one
giant data lake and is connected.
The key to such a successful ecosystem
is bringing the right data together.

51.
Start by structuring data and creating a data warehouse. By mapping your own data landscape.
Data like CRM and data from all customer touchpoints.
Internal data

External data
But also the external influences of social, weather, sensors, wearables and many more.
Building a structured datawarehouse.

53.
You’ll need a datawarehouse where you can combine all those datasets.
Microsoft and IBM are already working on a CRM service built to handle IoT

54.
Datawarehouse companies are able to create dynamic journeys
based on more relevant insights and analytics.

55.
Prescriptive options that will be automated
and rendered for each user and or usergroup
GOAL: enrich

GOAL: increase

56.
And with the goal to add value to end users through micromoments
and also receive useful feedback

58.
Mobile and wearables have changed the way we live, and has forever changed what we expect of brands.
It has fractured the consumer journey into hundreds of real-time, intent-driven micro-moments.
Each one is a critical opportunity for brands to shape our decisions and preferences.

59.
So, we’re slowly moving from a data-driven towards an intent-driven ecosystem in which

The digital transformation should be driven by the expectations of digital customers.
And becoming relevant at every digital customer touchpoint.
