This document summarizes a study conducted by Forrester Consulting on digital transformation opportunities in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. The study found:
1) CPG marketing leaders anticipate significant investment in digital capabilities to target global consumer segments, increase consumer lifetime value, and accelerate new product introductions.
2) Leaders expect sales through their own digital channels and e-retailers to grow substantially over the next 5 years, outpacing traditional retail channels.
3) However, leaders also perceive barriers to digital transformation from local cultural attitudes, privacy regulations, and logistical challenges to direct-to-consumer commerce.

• Consumer engagement;
• Transparency and
• The last mile of distribution
Consumer trends like 24/7 connectivity and social media use are increasing consumer expectations for transparency in supply chains on a 24/7 basis. New technologies are also raising consumer expectations around products, availability, and services while creating new opportunities through developments like mobile commerce, big data, and digitization.

E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services online. Analytics in e-commerce helps businesses optimize their websites, grow their customer base through marketing campaigns, and retain customers through predictive analytics. Predictive analytics can help e-commerce businesses enhance product recommendations, pricing, and supply chain management. A case study shows how Amazon plans to use predictive analytics for anticipatory shipping to ship items before orders are placed. Another case study outlines how Mu-Sigma helped a CPG company improve revenue management through a strategic revenue management platform integrating data from multiple sources. The future of e-commerce is expected to see continued growth in online sales and mobile commerce.
The results of our latest study on ‘Smart data transformation,’ carried out with Fraunhofer FIT, are here. In this special research report, we wanted to understand the business benefits, challenges and success factors around this topic, as well as identify key needs to facilitate the effective implementation of smart data transformation.
Digital transformation involves using technology to radically improve business performance. Major drivers include analytics, mobility, social media, and smart devices. Companies undergo digital transformation primarily to address customers, competitors, and employees. If European industries embrace digital transformation, they could gain hundreds of billions in additional value each year. However, many companies currently lack awareness, skills, and governance structures to successfully complete digital transformations. To succeed, companies must envision a digital future, invest in initiatives and skills, and have leadership support digital change. India should prepare for the first wave of transformation in automotive and logistics.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is the centerpiece to many enterprise
application setups and remains a battleground for vendors looking to improve operational
efficiency and enable growth through modern technologies. Transitions to cloud
deployments now command even higher prioritization as remote work and collaboration
capabilities have become essential for long-term success. To facilitate these migrations,
many vendors have consolidated their service offerings to a select few industry verticals,
allowing them to tailor capabilities such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of
Things (IoT) to specific use cases. Results for these vendors and their customers are
encouraging, as the focus yields increased implementation success rates and improved
customer satisfaction.

Companies will need to centralize customers, digitally transform, improve supply chains, build trust and integrate their organizations to succeed in this new landscape.

Accenture: Commercial analytics insights CPG Companies 27-7-12 Brian Crotty
A fully integrated analytics operating model can help consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies focus commercial analytics resources on high-value processes to grow market share and sustain profit margins.
Market and economic uncertainty is making it difficult for CPG companies to achieve sustainable growth. Value-driven consumers are more demanding than ever before, and retailers are increasingly pushing private labels and looking for ways to control the consumer relationship. Additionally, “big data” has left many marketing and sales organizations with an information overload, yielding little insight into how to win consumer loyalty. This uncertain environment requires CPG companies to make faster, better-informed commercial decisions and take concrete action to improve market performance.
In this point of view, Accenture outlines an approach that can help CPG companies improve their commercial analytics capability to generate significant value.

The document discusses how the programmatic media industry needs to shift its focus from efficiency to effective value creation in order to better align with marketers' objectives of long-term consumer engagement. It identifies the key drivers of effective value creation as efficiency, innovation, and consumer engagement. The industry needs to develop new capabilities and metrics to measure how well it is extracting useful data and insights from consumers to improve engagement over time, rather than just focusing on cost savings. This will allow it to tap into the $13 billion untapped market for online branding spending in the US.

Retail and consumer goods marketers are working to improve cohesive customer experiences by better integrating customer journeys across departments and channels. They are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence and personalization while also striving to balance privacy and build trust. Marketers are engaging customers across more real-time channels but still struggle with dynamic coordination across channels. Access to more customer data sources improves personalization opportunities but also challenges marketers to better unify disparate customer data.
1) Digital assistants like Alexa and Siri will become the new gatekeepers between brands and consumers as they control the information consumers receive.
2) For marketers, success will depend on learning how to market not just to consumers but to the machines to ensure brands are relevant and delivered in responses.
3) Only the most hyper-relevant brands that truly understand individual consumer needs and behaviors will be able to ensure their brand is the one the digital assistant selects and delivers to the consumer.
The digital cpg value opportunity: seen but unrealizedFoodInnovation
- Conventional wisdom suggests CPG is slow growth, but disruptors have grown rapidly by adopting new business models and engaging consumers directly through technology. Traditional leaders have been left behind.
- For CPG incumbents to recapture growth, they must create hyper-responsive engagement with consumers, develop hybrid traditional/new business models, and adopt a modern intelligent enterprise for agility.
- Disruptive business models are changing the landscape as the lines between makers, sellers, and consumers blur. CPG incumbents are lagging disruptors in digital performance across planning, production, sales, and management.

Move Auth, Policy, and Resilience to the PlatformChristian Posta
Developer's time is the most crucial resource in an enterprise IT organization. Too much time is spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting and in the world of APIs and microservices much of that is spent on non-functional, cross-cutting networking requirements like security, observability, and resilience.
As organizations reconcile their DevOps practices into Platform Engineering, tools like Istio help alleviate developer pain. In this talk we dig into what that pain looks like, how much it costs, and how Istio has solved these concerns by examining three real-life use cases. As this space continues to emerge, and innovation has not slowed, we will also discuss the recently announced Istio sidecar-less mode which significantly reduces the hurdles to adopt Istio within Kubernetes or outside Kubernetes.
Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade LaterScyllaDB
A little over a decade ago, I gave a talk on corporate open source anti-patterns, vowing that I would return in ten years to give an update. Much has changed in the last decade: open source is pervasive in infrastructure software, with many companies (like our hosts!) having significant open source components from their inception. But just as open source has changed, the corporate anti-patterns around open source have changed too: where the challenges of the previous decade were all around how to open source existing products (and how to engage with existing communities), the challenges now seem to revolve around how to thrive as a business without betraying the community that made it one in the first place. Open source remains one of humanity's most important collective achievements and one that all companies should seek to engage with at some level; in this talk, we will describe the changes that open source has seen in the last decade, and provide updated guidance for corporations for ways not to do it!

Forrester: CPG Consumer Engagement in a Digital World
1. A Forrester Consulting
Thought Leadership Paper
Commissioned By Accenture
September 2014
CPG Marketers Plan To
Seize The Digital
Disruption Opportunity
A Guide To CPG Consumer
Engagement In A Digital World
3. 1
Executive Summary
Global consumer packaged goods (CPG) firms face a world
in which their accumulated brand value is threatened by the
relative decline of the importance of mature markets
serviced by “modern trade.” These firms are faced with
relative decline in Europe and American markets, pressure
to accelerate new product introductions (NPIs), and
competitors’ exploitation of direct-to-consumer marketing
and fulfillment. CPG brands need to transform from the
analog marketing and sales model that served them so well
in developing and consolidating modern trade to a new
combination of direct marketing, digitally enabled product
innovation, and multichannel selling. Direct-to-consumer
initiatives will help them improve margins and loyalty,
accelerate NPI, fully service the vast developing market
opportunity, and more effectively win and serve a new wave
of digital consumers in developed markets.
In May 2014, Accenture commissioned Forrester Consulting
to evaluate the opportunity for CPG marketing leaders to
market and sell directly to consumers. Forrester developed
a quantitative survey to test the assertion that brands
cannot deliver a relevant, effective consumer experience
without also leveraging digital channels. They will have to
engage consumers in a dialogue, serve up customized
content and offers, and blur the distinction between
marketing, sales, service, supply chain, and R&D in order to
become consistently relevant and earn consumer loyalty.
Results from in-depth surveys with 35 CPG marketing
leaders at the C-level or VP level, and with 95 at the brand
manager level, show that marketers are keenly aware of the
threats and opportunities offered by digital transformation.
While they have begun their transformation and anticipate
accelerated innovation, along with increases in both
consumer lifetime value and average order value (AOV),
they perceive local cultural, legislation, and logistical
barriers to the digital transformation of consumer
engagement.
KEY FINDINGS
Forrester’s study yielded four key findings:
› CPG marketing professionals anticipate significant
investment in digital marketing, multichannel integration,
and digitally enabled innovation to target global consumer
market segments, increasing consumer lifetime value and
the number of “blockbuster” products.
› CPG marketing professionals expect proportionately more
growth in sales through their own digital channels than
through those of eRetailers.
› CPG marketing professionals believe that digital
transformation faces challenges from local legislation and
from limited digital support for new product introduction.
› Marketing and sales do not agree about impediments to
direct-to-consumer selling. Marketing does not see the
lack of internal integration across key functions or
departments as an issue in the same way that sales does.
Digital engagement complements the
traditional sales channel, media, and trade
spend, enabling firms to market directly to
consumers, engaging them in their chosen
channels, shortening the time and path to
purchase, and simplifying fulfillment and
consumer service.
4. 2
Digital Capabilities Disrupt CPG
Marketing
Data from the study showed that C-level marketing leaders
and CPG brand managers are acutely aware of changes in
the commercial environment that present both opportunities
and challenges related to digital transformation. We asked
them about the factors that favor adoption of digital
channels for increased consumer engagement and loyalty:
› Accelerated new product introduction. CPGs
participating in our study had a median of 90 product lines
that are currently being brought to market, and more than
half said that more than 10% of these were introduced in
the past year. Two-thirds of our survey respondents, 66%,
expect the rate of new product introduction to accelerate
significantly.
› Anticipated restructuring of marketing to global
market segment focus. As savvy marketers, our
respondents recognize that the relative importance of
country/regional segmentation will decline in the face of
new consumers from developing markets swelling the
ranks of digitally addressable global market segments
with (some) common behaviors, values, and brand
attitudes (see Figure 1).
› Anticipated changes in channel mix. Respondents
recognize that the vast bulk of sales today are still through
retailers and distributors (see Figure 2). They anticipate
the continued importance of trade spend, estimating that it
accounts for more than 27% of promotional funds now,
with two-thirds expecting a significant increase in the next
five years across all channels. Particularly, they expect to
increase their trade spend through digital channels, as
they expect proportionately more growth in sales through
their own digital channels than through those of
eRetailers. Seventy-five percentage of CPG marketers
believe that eRetailers sales account for 6% or more of
revenue today, with 85% of CPG marketers expecting
eRetailers sales to account for 6% or more revenue in the
next 5 years. While 60% of CPG marketers believe that
sales from their own digital channels account for 6% or
more of revenue today, with 86% expecting sales from
their own digital channels to account for 6% or more
revenue in the next 5 years.

CPG Marketing Has Started Its
Digital Transformation With
Increased Use Of Online Channels
Our survey respondents agreed that adopting digital direct-to-
consumer marketing and sales offered attractive
advantages. They have already started to invest more in
digital marketing, selling directly through digital channels
and measuring the impact of early direct-to-consumer digital
initiatives. Brand managers and heads of marketing told us
that:
› More and more marketing spend will be committed to
digital channels. Surveyed marketers reported that 28%
of marketing spend is now devoted to digital channels and
media. None of the respondents in our survey expected to
decrease the digital share of marketing funds, and 66%
expected to significantly increase investment in digital
marketing.
› Most brand managers sell through digital channels.
Forty-three percent of brand managers declared that
between 6% and 10% of global revenues are attributed to
their brand, with 37% claiming 11% to 50% of their
brand’s revenue is through digital channels (both their
own online channel and through eRetailers). Furthermore,
brand managers, in contrast to marketing leaders, believe
that in five years’ time revenues from their own
eCommerce or eRetailers will exceed revenues from
sales in stores.
› Heads of marketing anticipate an increase in sales
through both their own online channel and eRetailers.
Of heads of marketing surveyed, 46% have 11% or more
of sales through eRetailers and 54% expect these digital
partners to account for 11% or more of revenue in five
years’ time. While only 37% claim that 11% or more of
their revenues are from their own digital channels today,
49% expect that 11% or more of their revenues will be
from their own digital channels in five years’ time.
› Personal social networks are the most adopted and
actionable social medium. Most heads of marketing
(83%) claimed to use personal social networks and
corporate blogs as marketing tools (see Figure 3), with
microblogging sites as a close second. Twenty-five of the
29 firms that use Facebook think that it is the most
actionable social media insight, with a further 21 firms that
use corporate blogs finding them to generate actionable
insight.

› Consumers in traditional channels promise highest
lifetime value. Brand managers offered estimates of the
lifetime value of consumers buying through the brand’s
own online channel, through online partners, or through
the best performing conventional channel such as a
broker or retailer. As expected, given the heavy emphasis
on trade funds, brand managers believe that consumers
shopping through traditional retail promise higher lifetime
value. The lifetime value of consumers in CPG firms’ own
digital channels is the next most important and higher
than consumers in eRetailers’ channels (see Figure 4).

CPG Marketing Identifies Barriers To
Overcome To Achieve Digital
Transformation Benefits
Marketing executives and brand managers are acutely
aware of the threats and opportunities of digital disruption
for their brands and markets and have started to shift their
focus to digital channels, digital media, and direct-to-consumer
selling. They anticipate further benefits from
further investment but also perceive barriers to overcome.
Our survey respondents identified barriers to digital
transformation in terms of:
› Limited adoption of digital technologies in new
product introduction. Surveyed marketers reported a
mixed level of digital technology adoption, with 91% using
virtual designs during the “ideation” phase of new product
introduction but only 23% sharing digital product images
online with retail distribution partners (see Figure 5).

directly to consumers through online channels (see Figure

local privacy and consumer promotion legislation
challenges the adoption of digital direct-to-consumer
initiatives.

› Path-to-purchase contextual challenges. Our survey
respondents strongly agreed that their internal
organizations’ sales, marketing, and consumer service
functions are highly integrated with common goals and
well-aligned measures of performance (see Figure 7).
However, in a parallel survey of account managers and
VPs of sales, Forrester found that sales leaders believe
more strongly than marketing leaders that responding to
the threats and opportunities of digital disruption requires
greater organizational integration across functions.1
› Less than half (49%) of CPG marketing leaders strongly
agreed that content and offers are sensitive to a
consumer’s current social context. In order to meet
consumers’ expectations and rise above the competition,
brands need to orchestrate consumer intelligence, custom
content, and multichannel touchpoints to deliver the
shortest, simplest, and most compelling path to purchase.

CPG Marketing Leaders Anticipate
Huge Digital Transformation
Benefits
Our respondents showed acute awareness of digital
disruption in CPG markets. They described their aspirations
to undertake wholesale transformation of the processes that
they use to bring to market and sell their products and
services and described in detail the barriers they must
overcome. They told us that they expect to reap the benefits
of digital transformation to:
› Accelerate innovation. A significant majority (89%) of
heads of marketing strongly agreed that digital direct-to-consumer
engagement, enabling brands to directly
facilitate purchases and introduce/retire product lines
more quickly, would increase the rate of innovation (see
Figure 8).
› Boost consumer lifetime value. Most CPG heads of
marketing (77%) believe that digital transformation will
boost consumer lifetime value.
› Lift average order value. Almost three-quarters of heads
of marketing (74%) believe that direct-to-consumer
initiatives will increase average order value, using digital
channels to upsell consumers with whom the brand
develops a relationship.

channels will deliver the degree of consumer intimacy
required to deliver consistently relevant experiences
across channels, increasing margin and loyalty.
› Deliver more blockbuster new products. Almost three-quarters
(74%) of CPG heads of marketing expect to use
digital store simulations to test new product impact on
consumers (see Figure 10). More than two-thirds (69%)
expect to accelerate new packaging development with

Accelerate Your Analog To Digital Transformation
Forrester’s survey of marketing executives in CPG enterprises showed that marketing leaders sense that market
drivers — such as globalization, consumer demand for customization, emerging market growth, and anytime/anywhere
shopping — are prompting a shift from the importance of managing modern trade and selling through traditional retail
chains toward more digital consumer engagement and selling. In order to increase consumer relevance and loyalty,
CPG marketing leaders should evolve from analog marketing and sales to digital consumer engagement by:
› Shortening the path to purchase. Consumer brands need to re-engineer processes to minimize the jump from
browsing, enabling buying in one to two clicks. Perhaps start by helping them buy online or on a mobile device
and collect in-store, or use online eCoupons to drive consumers to stores. Or drive consumer engagement that
encourages the right channels for each interaction — for example, web, chat, and email for consumer care
services, rather than using a call center. Increasingly, brand managers will participate in forums and social media
to engage in a dialogue and help consumers solve their own problems and find new applications for brands.
› Stepping up to consumers’ personalization expectations. Consumers expect the brands with which they do
business to provide a consumer’s own device with contextually relevant content, based on the consumer’s
(mobile) location, most recent interactions, and sentiments. Marketing leaders need to capitalize on opportunities
to engage in personalized, context-aware interactions in real time before their audiences lose interest and tune
them out. In particular, firms should take account of insights from consumer behavior across channels and across
business functions like consumer service, NPI, and in-store merchandizing.
› Adapting marketing, sales, and fulfillment channels to align with consumer behavior. Consumers demand
the ability to shop at any time in any place using a device of their choice. Consumers are becoming increasingly
impatient and value near instantaneous fulfillment. They expect consistent pricing across channels and a choice
of delivery options, including prompt home delivery or a choice of pickup location. This is challenging CPG
manufacturers that have fragmented channel-specific organizations, metrics, and application portfolios.
› Building support for direct-to-consumer marketing and selling throughout the wider enterprise. The
business case for direct-to-consumer marketing and selling investments rests on increasing revenues and
margins. Recruit enthusiastic sponsors including brand managers and account directors who have revenue and
margin targets and are responsible for achieving the business case. Direct-to-consumer marketing and selling
rely on the vital collaboration of all the partners in the value chain — retailers, distributors, and logistics specialists
— but will also expose enterprise data and place incremental pressure on the IT infrastructure, so early
recruitment of senior IT leadership is essential to a successful outcome.
