How DMPs Make Connectedness More Personal - An iCrossing Webinar Featuring Fo...iCrossing
To build a connected brand today, interactive marketers are moving away from tactical, transactional approaches toward data-centric strategies to create competitive advantage. Through the use of a data management platform (DMP) brands can now collect, protect, model and transform data into optimized audience profiles that easily integrate into the broader marketing and advertising ecosystem. On Thursday, January 26 at 2:00pm Eastern, we explored how new technologies like data management platforms (DMPs) are transforming the way that interactive marketers apply audience data to their marketing efforts.

Future of commerce: Understanding Southeast Asian consumers- AccentureAccenture ASEAN
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies must embrace digital commerce to win in an estimated US$340 billion worth of market growth in Asia Pacific.
The sales and marketing ecosystem is changing because of a new generation of consumers in Asia and pervasive digital technologies.
Our research shows that consumers in Asia are not satisfied with their purchase journeys. They seek a single platform where they can act on impulse buy decisions, get tailored product recommendations, and are always connected to their favorite brands.
CPG companies need to bridge existing gaps in consumers’ purchase journeys and provide seamless shopping experiences by building their ecommerce capabilities.

1. The document discusses the differences between consultative selling and traditional sales techniques. Consultative selling focuses on building long-term relationships based on trust and expertise, rather than individual transactions. It involves understanding the client's business and needs.
2. A key part of consultative selling is the profit improvement proposal, which quantifies how the consulting services can specifically help increase the client's profits.
3. Another technique discussed is the "trial delivery", which provides initial consulting services to help the client see the consultant's value and mitigate risks, with the goal of developing a long-term relationship.
The document discusses points of view (POV) in design thinking. It provides examples of a customer POV as wanting an easy way to get ketchup out of a bottle, and a business POV as finding a better way to get ketchup out faster. It explains that design thinking brings together what is desirable from a human point of view, what is technologically feasible, and what is economically viable. The document outlines a framework from IDEO for creating POVs, including using empathy maps and observation to develop insights and themes. It stresses the importance of keeping POV statements narrow, framing them as problem statements, and using them to guide innovation efforts.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.
