Digital transformation in sales: Evolving the Art of Customer EngagementAbhishek Sood
Digital transformation in sales requires organizations to continually evolve how they engage customers through both personal and digital interactions. The document discusses the different stages organizations go through in their digital transformation journey from Skeptics to Drivers. It describes how Drivers constantly experiment with advanced technologies to engage customers and gain a competitive advantage, resulting in 50% greater revenue growth compared to less transformed organizations.
Despite a growing shift of resources and budget to the development of digital marketing strategy, platforms and channels, the actual skill levels to effectively manage and execute digital marketing programs are absent outside of digital teams.

This document discusses the digital transformation of marketing. Key points include:
1. Digital transformation means marketers must rethink budgets, put customer experience at the heart of conversations, understand trends in attribution and programmatic marketing, and develop skills in areas like analytics, product development, and customer advocacy.
2. Marketing was one of the last departments to undergo technological reengineering. Digital advertising emerged as a key category for marketing and changed the nature of marketing.
3. Successfully navigating digital transformation requires getting the right positioning, prioritizing efforts, and getting executive buy-in, which is still a challenge for many marketers according to research. Focusing on small, achievable goals is advised over attempting everything

Achieving momentum for a social business strategy for many organizations is challenging
enough, but execution is often fraught with unanswered questions: Who owns social? How are key decisions made? How do we organize to execute social?
In this report, we define a social business governance system of 4 P’s: people, policies, processes, and practices. We use that framework to provide a maturity model to assess where you are, and we include best practices, policy templates, and a decision-making matrix that you can use to define Social Business Governance (SBG) that will help you both achieve the potential of your strategy and manage risk.

The Boston Consulting Group conducted a survey of over 1,100 marketers at 57 companies in the UK and Germany to assess their digital marketing capabilities. The survey found that on average, companies scored 57 out of 100 on BCG's Digital Capabilities Index, indicating significant gaps in their digital skills. The biggest shortfalls were in capabilities related to mobile, video, testing, partner management, and developing marketing platforms. While senior leadership recognizes the importance of digital, companies received lower scores for prioritizing investment in new digital capabilities and talent development. Most marketing organizations will need to transform their approach to close these gaps through improved training, a focus on skills like mobile and data analytics, and developing a more agile culture.
Technology has come to play a crucial role in delivering marketing programs and helping with meeting your marketing objectives. In a space filled with over a 1,000 marketing tech companies providing all kinds of products, platforms & services how do you decide which tools and platforms to invest in?
We polled and received responses from 260 B2B marketers in the United States and internationally. The special report that follows gives you a snapshot of how B2B marketers such as yourself are placing their bets on technology.
The document discusses emerging trends in marketing automation in 2011, including:
1) The emergence of Revenue Performance Management (RPM), which allows marketing to track ROI and quantify their impact on revenue. New tools from Marketo and Eloqua focus on RPM.
2) Data management and finding the right talent will be critical challenges for optimization. Integration of new channels and understanding the technology will also be important.
3) A shared focus on revenue generation between sales and marketing through new analytics tools may drive further adoption of automation in 2011. The changing B2B buyer is also driving a new sales and marketing alignment paradigm with a joint focus on revenue.
Socially Driven Collaboration Research Study 2014 Leader Networks
What happens when Marketing and IT unite to tackle the escalating challenges that today’s
rapidly moving digital, social and mobile world bring? Collaboration brings both Marketing
and IT the potential to influence management decisions while, in tandem, add business value.
When Marketing collaborates with IT, the possibility exists for Marketing to make an impact
beyond raising awareness to improving speed to market for new products and services while
reducing project costs. In turn, IT’s collaboration with Marketing can give rise to greater
awareness of thought leadership and increase share of budget.
When collaboration happens, Marketing often leads the charge to break down the functional
silos with IT. And even though Marketing is making progress, it faces strong headwinds as it
attempts to advance collaboration within the company.
To get a better understanding of the state of collaboration between Marketing and IT, Oracle
commissioned Social Media Today and Leader Networks to field a study to investigate the
changing relationship between these functional teams. Responses were gathered from 662
Marketing and 263 IT leaders from more than 500 organizations around the world.
This document discusses best practices for managing digital marketing in 2015 based on research from Smart Insights and TFM&A. It finds that while digital adoption is widespread, many businesses still lack advanced digital capabilities and need to improve integration and planning. It provides recommendations in 6 areas: 1) assessing digital capabilities and creating transformation roadmaps, 2) developing long-term digital strategies aligned with business goals, 3) using transformation programs to eliminate silos and improve integration, 4) reviewing and developing digital skills, 5) focusing resources on most effective channels like email, and 6) creating optimization plans for continuous testing and improvement.
The document discusses the changing role of the CMO and challenges facing advertising agencies in a digital age. CMOs now expect integrated digital platforms, technology-driven innovation, and solutions rather than just campaigns. This is redrawing the relationship between clients and agencies. Traditional agencies need to transform and expand their digital capabilities, bringing in new skills and ways of working. A digital integrator can help agencies make this transformation by providing strategic digital skills and expertise in areas like technology, innovation, analytics, and agile processes. This would allow agencies to better meet CMOs' new expectations and bridge the gap between traditional and digital marketing approaches.
Greiner's Growth Curve model identifies five phases of growth that a company passes through: 1) Creativity, 2) Direction, 3) Delegation, 4) Coordination, and 5) Collaboration. Each phase has a period of stability and evolution that ends with a period of crisis or turmoil that must be resolved for the company to progress to the next phase. The model helps understand organizational problems companies may face during rapid growth periods.
Six Stages of Digital Transformation (Research)Vala Afshar

1) Business as Usual - Organizations operate with legacy perspectives and believe existing solutions remain relevant.
2) Present and Active - Pockets of experimentation drive digital literacy but in a disparate way to improve specific areas.
3) Formalized - Experimentation becomes intentional and initiatives seek executive support for new resources and technology.

When Brian Solis was principal analyst at Altimeter Group, he launched a highly regarded series that captured the global state of digital transformation. In 2019, Brian partnered with Prophet Asia's Leon Zhang and Benoit Garbe to zoom in on digital transformation in China.

As a result, Brian created this document to highlight those differences and also provide recommendations in how to more effectively compete.
The document summarizes the key findings of a 2014 report on the state of human capital management in federal agencies. It finds that most agencies feel they are falling short on employee leadership development, adaptability, and use of technology. While budgets are tight, agencies are relying more on non-monetary recognition, rotations, mentorship, and teleworking to motivate employees. The top human capital management priorities for 2014 include identifying and closing skills gaps, succession planning, and training development. However, most agencies are either reducing or maintaining their investment in training programs.
This document summarizes research from the Marketing Leadership Council on how B2B marketers are evolving their digital capabilities. It finds that most marketers have consolidated digital expertise but now face challenges integrating tactics. The report is structured to address these challenges, exploring how to 1) increase impact through integration by managing a continuous digital presence, 2) focus content strategy and activation, and 3) strengthen multichannel analytics. It provides observations for senior marketers advancing their organizations' digital capabilities.
In June 2010, Gatorade unveiled its “Mission Control Center,” and in December of that year Dell announced its “Social Media Command Center.” Since then, organizations such as Hendrick Motorsports, The Oregon Ducks, Symantec and others have discussed how they use their social media command centers to listen to hundreds of thousands—even millions—of posts, interact with fans and customers, solve service issues and surface trends, risks and opportunities.
To learn more about the state of social media command centers, Altimeter Group spoke with three organizations — MasterCard, eBay, and Wells Fargo Bank — and found significant variations in objectives, priorities and technology for the command centers, but similarities in strategic focus and business planning.
In this report, Altimeter analyst Susan Etlinger presents findings, case studies, and expert recommendations for evaluating, building or fine-tuning a Social Media Command Center.

New survey data shows that employees and executives have different views about employee engagement and the things organizations do to improve it. This is the result of the Engagement Gap. Employee engagement programs, while well intentioned, often miss the mark. This white paper describes the Engagement Gap, and shares survey results captured by Jostle Corporation in partnership with Brian Solis. The data suggests that effective employee engagement programs focus on turning organizations into more meaningful, congenial, and transparent communities.
1) Food trends are changing in a digital world, with more people cooking elaborate meals but lacking basic cooking skills, and relying on prepared meal kits and all-in-one appliances.
2) People closely self-track their health, habits, and nutrition through various apps and emerging technologies like epidermal electronics.
3) Consumers are increasingly concerned about food quality and origin, driving interest in regional and organic labels, though confusion remains, while apps provide information and urban farming becomes popular.

1. Advertising spend is experiencing its biggest decline in history while online advertising revenue is also decreasing.
2. The study examines the impact of various communication channels, including traditional (TV, print, radio) and online (display ads, search ads) on key metrics like registrations and sales for an online social network.
3. The results show that TV advertising has the strongest impact on the social network's registrations and sales, more so than other traditional or online channels, demonstrating that traditional media can enhance new media for an online brand.
Building strong brands has always been a major task in the creation of lasting company value. However, this has become a difficult task that is often driven by the consumer more than by the company itself. The proliferation of social media tools, the mobile web and the growing information power of target customers pose many new challenges. Dr. Markus Pfeiffer will present four fundamental strategies to help your brand grow in a digital-only environment.
The document discusses the shift to a digital economy and the implications for marketing and consumer behavior. It notes that digital technologies have transformed people's lives and enabled new forms of participation, connection, and co-creation between consumers and companies. The document advocates for a more experimental and socially-focused approach to digital innovation that embraces risk and empowers consumers as prosumers with increasing control over processes and resources.
This document discusses several challenges facing digital branding, including channel and format complexity, domination of mobile devices, and lack of clarity on return on investment. It notes that humans prefer stories over brands and that reach for brands is decreasing online unless free stuff is offered. Several hypotheses for the future of digital brand building are presented, including creating local, relevant messages, deep consumer integration through co-creation, treating digital branding as a product, and anticipating retail domination through "point-know-buy" shopping.
This document discusses using associative networks to measure brand image perception and segment consumers. It introduces a new methodology that uses qualitative concept mapping techniques to elicit brand associations from consumers and cluster them into segments based on their brand perception networks. As a case study, 160 consumers' associative networks for the Lipton Ice Tea brand were mapped and clustered into six distinct segments. The paper argues this network-based approach provides a more complete picture of a brand's image compared to traditional qualitative and quantitative brand image measurement methods.

InsightfulCRM - Transform Digitally or go Extinct (14 Oct)Wendy Evans
Digital transformation is the process of whole-scale change that affects every aspect of a business through embracing digital technologies. It requires using tools like analytics, cloud computing, big data, social media, and smart technologies to better understand customers and change relationships. Strong leadership from the top, like the CEO, is important to drive digital transformation and keep the process on track. While many businesses are undergoing digital transformation, some lack research on customer needs and top-down leadership, which could negatively impact success.

It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations
The document discusses digital transformation for marketing. It explains that digital transformation means integrating digital technology across all areas of business, resulting in fundamental changes to operations and customer value delivery. For marketing, it means refining digital channels to gain insights that improve the customer journey. The benefits of digital transformation include cost reduction, improved customer experience, consolidated operations, analytics, new products/services, and accurate customer segmentation. Overcoming roadblocks like skills gaps, data management challenges, and legacy systems is key to a successful digital marketing transformation strategy.

The State of Always-On Marketing StudyIshraq Dhaly
This document summarizes the findings of a study on "Always-On Marketing" conducted by Razorfish and Adobe. The study surveyed 685 executives and found that:
1) Very few businesses (under 5%) have the capabilities to deliver personalized, real-time marketing across channels, despite many executives believing they do.
2) There is a large gap between perceived ability and actual ability, especially in France and Germany.
3) Company size and industry affect capabilities, with larger companies and retailers/tech companies more likely to be leaders in Always-On Marketing.
Do you know what your marketing is doingThoughtWorks
This document provides guidance on crafting effective marketing strategies for 2014. It begins by quoting two experts emphasizing the importance of understanding customers and innovating. It then asks questions for companies to consider around differentiating their products, solving customer problems, listening to customers, demonstrating technology skills, measuring programs, and utilizing mobile teams. Statistics are presented on average marketing spending and digital marketing activities. The top three digital activities - websites, social media, and digital ads - are highlighted. The rest of the document focuses on trends like connectivity, apps, social media, measurement, and content marketing. It advocates for a revenue-driven, customer-centric approach using tools like CRM, SEO, and analytics.

Digital Transformation – Defined
To be successful, companies must focus on customer experience and to remain sustainable, they must invest in digital technology.
The document discusses how to build high-performance marketing teams. It finds that most organizations now have integrated marketing teams that combine both digital and traditional functions. Skills are ranked by importance, with core marketing skills like strategy, customer insight, and analytics seen as most important. The skills matrix shows which skills typically sit within marketing versus being outsourced. It concludes that marketing is becoming more specialized, requiring teams to develop expertise in new digital areas while still maintaining integration across channels. Outsourcing certain skills and collaborating with other departments like IT are also discussed as ways to build an effective modern marketing team.
Digital marketing strategies require an effective plan across the entire enterprise to address challenges like integrating varied digital channels and targeting the digital customer. While there are many tools and case studies available, each brand has unique needs. Standardizing processes between brands often fails because the digital landscape and customer base differs for each one. Additionally, digital marketing teams must be integrated with sales to support current promotions and leverage both online and offline efforts. Data should be used to target messaging at the individual prospect level rather than broad segments to ensure relevance and drive better results.
Marketers have an opportunity to better promote and develop the in-demand marketing skills that companies are looking for. While SEO/SEM is the top desired skill, marketers overemphasize social media skills in their profiles. The report analyzed recruiter search data and marketer profiles on LinkedIn from 2013-2015 to identify alignment between desired skills and skills possessed. Key findings include that marketers underpromote skills like SEO/SEM and overpromote social media skills. The top marketing titles are also evolving to roles like CMO, Digital Marketing Manager, and Brand Ambassador.

The document discusses the effects of COVID-19 on e-commerce in Germany. It notes that online consumer spending has significantly increased in some categories like medicine and food, while decreasing in fashion. Both short-term cyclical effects from the pandemic and long-term structural growth are impacting e-commerce. Most organizations strongly depend on large digital platforms like Amazon. However, price drops in digital marketing create new opportunities. The document advocates identifying an organization's e-commerce potential through optimizing existing channels, identifying new channels, optimizing digital marketing, and understanding market and consumer trends. It provides an example of modeling revenue uplift scenarios for a FMCG client through 2025 based on these levers.
Smart recipes and the future of personalized nutrition
- Personalized nutrition depends on recipes and guidance, both intelligently adjusted to the individual needs of the consumers
- NLP, AI, Chatbots are already capable today to adjust recipes fully automated to the specific needs of consumers (Needs, such as vegan diet, 4-person household, allergic requirements or microbiome demands)
- Recipes are the essential success factor for fulfilling the demands of personalized nutrition profiles. They are providing a substantially stronger lever in improving nutritional demands than other testing and tracking applications. Interactive chatbot dialogues are guiding consumers through the process while generating relevant datapoints
- Understanding personalized nutrition will provide essential insights into uncovering unfulfilled needs in the market place. Addressing those drives a new perspective on product and service innovation

Digital Readiness - How well prepared are German brands for a digital future?Bloom Partners GmbH
This document discusses the results of a study on the digital readiness of German brands. It defines digital readiness as the combination of top management advocacy for digital topics, adoption of digital marketing tools, and effective use of these tools to increase customer agility and drive digital change. The study finds that companies with high digital readiness, termed "leaders", outperform those with low readiness, or "laggards", across key metrics like market share, profitability, and customer satisfaction. Leaders are characterized by strong top management advocacy for digital issues and capabilities to quickly sense and respond to changing customer needs.
1. Mobile devices are nearly always within arm's reach and are increasingly replacing computers and other devices for many common tasks.
2. New forms of visual, social media centered around the individual are emerging as mobile platforms that engage users for longer periods each day than Facebook or other social networks.
3. Applying game mechanics and principles of reward/achievement to mobile apps increases engagement and drives behaviors like exercise that improve health.
This document discusses how marketing thinking needs to evolve beyond the ideas of Philip Kotler, who is described as the "King of Marketing" and the superstar who defined modern marketing. While Kotler established marketing as a discipline and spread its influence globally, the author argues that modernity has lost its power and marketing now requires reform or a new paradigm to cope with a fast-changing, unpredictable world. Specifically, the document suggests that Kotler's models of the marketing concept, customer satisfaction, and the four P's are outdated and no longer provide the stability and security that managers need to navigate today's fragmented environment with parallel strategies and continuous change.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Are You Ready For A Digital-First Future?
How To Make Customer Agility A Key Success Driver For Your Organisation
Markus Pfeiffer fgmn & Vincent Aydin
Is your organisation experiencing the impact of increasing
digitisation? Most likely. Have you noticed your competitors
employing digital tools to communicate with their
customers and market their products? Probably. Have you
thought you have to tag along and also “go digital”? Does
your company have a Facebook and Google+ profile, a
Twitter and Instagram account and maybe even a YouTube
channel? Sure thing, you’re mastering the digital world. The
truth is – you still have a long way to go.
Employing digital tools as a form of marketing and brand
presentation is just the initial stage on the path to Digital
Readiness, the starting point where most CMOs and
their co-executives are stuck not utilizing digitisation’s
full enabling power. Many executives fail to understand
that there is much more Digital has to offer beyond just
presenting your brand to customers in a unilateral fashion.
This article will familiarize you with the importance of
becoming digitally ready – as it is essential for developing
3. REPRINT - Global CMO™
The Magazine - www.theglobalcmo.com April 2013 | 43
Customer Agility, which constitutes the pinnacle of
fully utilizing digitisation’s enabling power, offering both
benefits for your customers and satisfying your business
goals supported by an organisational strategy. It’s the
new battleground for success in the fight for customer’s
attention, their satisfaction and ultimately loyalty.
Digital Readiness:
The Study
In order to explore the background behind the vast
differences that still exist among organisations regarding
their utilization of Digital, Bloom Partners conducted a
breakthrough study in 2012 to evaluate Digital Readiness
across leading brands in Germany. Our goal was to
analyse the underlying organisational drivers and success
factors that allow some firms to better take advantage of
digitisation and reap its benefits than others. We employed
a hybrid study approach, consisting of qualitative interviews
with C-level executives from blue chip brands operating in
the German speaking markets that were validated through
quantitative questionnaires entailing more than 300 upper
and middle managers from a total of eight industries
including FMCG, Telco, Automotive, Banking & Insurance,
Retail, Healthcare, Travel and Energy allowing us to draw
cross-industry conclusions.
Our findings support our initial notion: There is still much
confusion and insecurity regarding how to trim and prepare
one’s organisation for the increasing digitisation, steer it
towards Digital Readiness and create value for customers
while building on one’s business goals. More than half
of all participants can identify barriers to successfully
undergoing digital change – however those listed sound
more like excuses than true roadblocks hindering managers
to get their organisations fit for the digital world. Or would
you consider “technology and security issues” as the real
reason why many organisations are not yet making full use
of digitisation’s opportunities?
The items we used in interviewing participants revolved
around three major organisational drivers that can lead a
firm to achieve Digital Readiness and eventually let it profit
from higher firm performance. Across the board Digital
Leaders manage to outperform Followers and Laggards on
every major KPI – ranging from market share to profitability
to customer satisfaction. Regarding the latter category,
90% of Leaders state their customers are more satisfied
and loyal to them than to their strongest competitor. The
same is only true for 40% of the Digital Laggards.
Top Management As A Key Driver For
Digital Readiness
First, we found that strong top management advocacy
is needed to kick-start an organisation’s transformation
towards digital change – it explains 88% of organisations’
adoption of “Digital” by their Marketing departments.
Often times the real reason behind the gap in attempting
to adopt Digital is a lack of commitment but also a lack of
know-how on top management level to actually drive the
transformation that is needed. From the examples we have
seen we believe that full top management commitment
4. 44 | April 2013 REPRINT - Global CMO™
The Magazine - www.theglobalcmo.com
to digitisation would entail assigning a designated role of
Chief Digital Officer (CDO), which combines knowledge and
expertise from both fields of the Chief Technology Officer’s
and the Chief Marketing Officer’s responsibilities. The CDO,
running his own cross-functional group of experts, can
become a key driver for identifying digital opportunities for
marketing but more so innovative new business models
that create real value added for customers.
With top management’s support backing it up, the
organisation will then be more open to adopt digital tools
and processes and their implementation across the entire
value chain. Top management needs to put a digital
strategy on the top of its agenda and build the know-how
and awareness for the related challenges in the board
rooms. The first challenge lies within acquiring necessary
knowledge and expertise around digital topics. But: you
won’t be able to acquire that externally by hiring top
talent from the pool of digital natives if you aren’t digitally
ready yourself. These potential employees tend to flock to
companies that match their digital enthusiasm and skills:
Our research shows that 81% of Leaders find it easy to
attract and retain qualified human resources, while only
24% of Laggards can say the same.
Although Digital Laggards are the ones that most badly need
top management to step up, kick off and advocate Digital
Readiness, only 28% of them state that digital topics are
regularly part of their management agenda. By contrast 98%
of Leaders make these topics a recurring theme on their
agendas. Their differences regarding top management’s
readiness to tackle the subject become even more evident
when analysing its know-how of digital topics: 98% of
Leaders compared to a mere 15% of Laggards claim their
top management can draw on valuable know-how regarding
Digital. Without top management support, Digital remains
communication 2.0 sitting in the marketing department
only – instead of being a central driver for growth.
Most importantly top management needs to radiate and
instil this digital spirit into their organisations, act as
role models, give guidance for change and foster the
implementation of digital tools and processes. That way
employees sense the true importance of the topic, feel
motivated to tag along and feed back into an organisational
culture fostering digital change.
Building on this, we define Digital Readiness as the extent
to which an organisation combines top management’s
awareness for digital topics with the adoption of digital
marketing tools and processes which are effectively used
to increase customer agility and drive digital change across
the entire value chain.
Exhibit 1: Stages of Digital Media utilization
5. REPRINT - Global CMO™
The Magazine - www.theglobalcmo.com April 2013 | 45
Increase Your Customer Agility
Secondly, our research suggests that Digital Readiness
in marketing is a major driver for a key competence we
call Customer Agility. This potential, however, can only be
leveraged when your marketing and sales departments
have significantly altered their processes to make full
use of the information from and about customers that
is gathered through digital channels like the Web and
especially social media interaction. Unless marketing and
sales departments are able to translate the information
they gather from customer interaction into relevant insights
for product and service development, digital communication
stays on the campaign level.
Therefore, marketing and sales both need to be aware
of the impact that digitisation will have on their own and
the organisation’s operations and thereby influence large
parts of their business. We have learned that 92% of
Digital Leaders state that digitisation has already altered
their processes substantially compared to only 31% of
Digital Laggards. This is much more than using the digital
channels “just” for communication and campaigns.
Amazon for example devotes great attention to carefully
monitoring users’ shopping patterns and usage behaviour
and subsequently analysing and evaluating gathered
data. Moreover, in an almost start-up like fashion, is
Amazon not afraid to trial a variety of new products and
services which application by customers the company then
specifically examines. Employing these efforts to attain a
deep understanding and sense what their customers long
for allows Amazon to respond with relevant products and
services supporting the optimization of its entire value
chain – from category management to payment to logistics.
From Communication 2.0 To New
Digital-Enabled Business Models
Overall, we see three stages of development in this context
(see exhibit 1). A first sample of companies is still using
digital as a playing field, trying different approaches without
having a clear perspective on the ROI of different activities.
They apply the most well-known digital tools “because
everybody is using them” and run Digital for its own sake.
Companies in the second stage utilize Digital with a clear
ROI in mind. This means being able to differentiate between
digital strategies that entail a positive payoff in form of
brand awareness, sales or new customers and strategies
that simply create fans or awareness that does not translate
into brand equity, thereby drain marketing resources and
do not exhibit attractive organisational benefits. Finally, at
the prime stage of development regarding the utilization of
digital strategies, organisations are able to take advantage
of digital media as an enabler for new business models.
These firms understand the potential that lies within the
connecting power of digital tools and support their activities
with a concise content strategy clearly defining how digital
opportunities are utilized in order to benefit both customers
and the top line of the company likewise.
In order to achieve this level of development marketing
departments need to understand that having dedicated
Exhibit 2: Application of digital strategies
6. 46 | April 2013 REPRINT - Global CMO™
The Magazine - www.theglobalcmo.com
strategies for their website, social media, mobile or brand-
building is not enough. Only if marketing can support the
whole organisation in better sensing of customer needs
and actually use the information gathered to improve their
products and services, the investments will pay off. This
level of value creation uses co-creation and customisation
tools as a highly efficient way to create valuable and lasting
conversations with customers. Our study has shown that
most organisations have strategies to define what they
want to achieve with their website or social media. However,
what really differentiates Digital Leaders is the way they
use co-creation and customisation tools (from online-voting
to crowdsourced innovation) to really alter their existing
products and services (see exhibit 2).
Defining Your Digital Strategy
So what are the success factors that Digital Leaders seem
to have a better grasp on than firms trailing in Digital
Readiness? What makes these Leaders fitter for utilizing
Digital to develop Customer Agility?
As a guideline for developing a successful digital strategy,
you need to think in terms of three dimensions that
need to be aligned to successfully act in concert. First
allow yourself to think of your own business goals and
how a digital strategy is supposed to go about achieving
those. Do you want to win new customers? Do you want
to increase loyalty of your existing customers? Or do you
want to increase cross- or up-selling opportunities among
existing customers?
Secondly, you need to create clarity about how you can
actually create benefits for your customers through digital
tools. Think about the scope of potential benefits that a
digital strategy can offer your customers. Do they want to
be rewarded or enticed through motivating features? Do
they want to engage through social interaction or can you
provide them with a positive feeling about playing on and
strengthening their identity? Ultimately you need to support
the match of both spheres, your business goals together
with benefits for your customers, with an appropriate
content strategy. Decide whether the best way to achieve
success in both areas is by employing a strategy that is
revolving closely around your core product or whether it
makes sense to develop ideas that drift away from your core
business, go beyond and open up entirely new possibilities
and business opportunities. Each matchup of business
goal, customer benefit and appropriate content strategy
can then be supported through digital opportunities, which
are defined by relevant channels as well as according
activities.
Look at Nike for example and its well-known Nike+ scheme.
Nike’s real achievement with the Nike+ iPod is using social
networks’ connective and interactive power as a basis for
setting up a new business model entailing an entirely new
and overarching ecosystem of complimentary products.

shoes (Nike or any other shoe brand) would transmit your
workout data to your smartphone and subsequently enable
you to share your daily workout log and achievements with
an online community of fellow runners. The community
would then give each other feedback on their respective
performance and motivate each other to achieve their
fitness goals. This is the perfect example of setting up a
whole new business model mounted on social media –
selling running shoes and complimentary hardware that
allows for and invites social interaction with fellow runners
from the digital community. Its success speaks for itself –
runners in the community that were using the Nike+ chip
with non-Nike sneakers are 40% more likely to switch to
Nike running shoes upon their next sneaker purchase.
This example clearly articulates the difference between

utilizing digital channels for their own sake, like setting
up a Facebook fan-page vs. creating entirely new revenue
streams that utilize the power of social media only as an
enabler.
Therefore, it is critical to make yourself aware of the
multidimensional nature of digital strategies. Through
digitisation you are much closer to and better connected
with your customers allowing you to involve them much more
in your development processes. Integrate and motivate your
customers to create ideas, innovations and products jointly
– together with you and their fellow communities! A great
example are the crowdsourcing activities employed by Coty
Inc., a New York based fragrance and cosmetics firm. In
short Coty in Europe applied the crowdsourcing concept by
using the power of the crowd to develop innovations. This
was achieved by letting customers, mostly female fashion,
beauty and lifestyle aficionados, decide for themselves
what nail polish colours and designs they would like to see
developed and introduced to the market next season. This
was done based on a special software package provided by
Innosabi in Germany that lets companies create Facebook-
based product development environments in an utmost easy
and reliable way. Select participants of Coty’s contest would
also receive their very own nail polish creation kit which
allowed them to mix colours, invent new designs and finally
produce their very own customized nail polish at home. The
finished and final colour design would then be submitted
into a design contest and published on Coty’s homepage
where users could vote for their favourite designs that they
would like to see mass produced next season.
Within 14 days more than 800 colour designs were
created, more than 5000 comments were posted on the
event homepage, more than 10,000 ratings submitted and
20 “winning” colours selected for final production. This
co-creation strategy achieved three tasks: On a business
goal side, Coty was provided with a massive amount of
ideas coming straight from existing and new customers –
allowing the firm to win future customers, create upselling
opportunities for their existing ones and likely even promote
their loyalty. In terms of customer benefits, users could

express their identity through their very own nail polish
design. They could interact with other users and discuss the
latest trend colours of the upcoming season and obviously
post their ideas and inventions across their social graph.
They would be rewarded for submitting their personalized
designs to the event homepage by positive ratings and
potentially become one of the winning designers. The co-
creation activity on Facebook allowed the firm to directly
utilize its results by incorporating winning designs into next
season’s production cycle.
The lesson (marketing) executives need to learn is that
Digital Readiness is not an easy task to master, but
a highly rewarding one nonetheless. Advocacy from
the executive level has a huge impact on achieving a
transformation towards Digital Readiness. As you will
notice in the following exhibit depicting our study model,
Top Management Advocacy is responsible for 88% of the
subsequent adoption of Digital by organisations’ marketing
departments. Once you have adopted digital tools and
processes and implemented them into your organisation,
the challenge lies within realizing the scope of opportunities
that digitisation enables you to take advantage of.
Executives need to become channel-agnostic, forget about
Facebook Pinterest, Instagram etc. for a second and
instead focus on the possibilities you are offered beyond
one-way communication, display ads and other campaigns.
Simply employing digital marketing tools is not enough, as
this merely drives 25% of firm performance. Instead utilize
Digital to build deep relationships, open and adapt your
processes to the new environment and fundamentally build
Customer Agility. It is by far the most important catalyst
for achieving higher firm performance. Utilizing digital tools
adopted by the marketing department to better sense and
respond to ever changing customer needs is the driving
force behind becoming a Digital Leader, as better Customer
Agility drives 45% of today’s firm performance.
