WHY ME
WHY ME
Sustainability agenda
Νow is the time for bold climate and sustainability leadership, with business stepping up along with, and sometimes ahead of, government. This will ensure that real change incurs and sustainability becomes embedded into organizations instead of being an add-on. Our climate emergency has not gone away and neither has the consumer sentiment for change. Sustainability is a driver of better consumer engagement, productive and retained talent, sizeable market opportunities, and wider access to capital.
Design and technology
Design has become a central driver of value rather than an afterthought. The major shift towards human centered design emphasizes in engagement, dialogue, and learning by creating a natural flow from research to rollout. People need their interactions with technology and other complex systems to be simple, intuitive, and pleasurable. A design mindset is solution-focused and action-oriented and involves both analysis and imagination.
Ecosystems
Organizations should think in terms of networks rather than nodes. They need to move from controlling internal resources to orchestrating external resources and from hierarchical control to collaboration and persuasion. Business ecosystems cannot be entirely planned and designed in advance but they have to be adaptable, resilient and continuously evolve. This transformation is a culture journey which should generate value and distribute value among ecosystem members.
Services and brands
The transition to a service mindset is happening for both customers and brands. Operating models should mainly consist of prediction and assembly flows while tradeoffs between cost efficiency and quality should be more than frequent.The challenge is in convincing customers to embrace and act on it since highly qualified specialists collaborating with digital technologies, will deliver services adapted to the evolving tastes of consumers and approach them with personalized experiences.
