  • Brand definition is no longer solely determined by the company; customers actively co-create it.
  • Dell's approach emphasizes direct customer feedback for innovation.

Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Customers

  • From: Customers are mass market, communications are broadcast, firm is the key influencer, marketing is about persuasion, one-way value flows, economics of firm scale.
  • To: Customers are dynamic networks, communications are two-way, customers are key influencers, marketing inspires purchase and loyalty, reciprocal value flows, economics of customer value.

Competition

  • Different players with diverse strategies exist in the digital age.

Different Players with Different Strategies

  • Digital giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google are powerful players.
  • Industry incumbents need to adapt or risk becoming irrelevant.
  • Tech entrepreneurs continuously innovate to disrupt the market.

Old Sources of Competitive Advantage

  • Scaling in the digital environment is relatively easy and costless.

  • Data as a strategic asset: changing from operation-focused to data-driven innovation, improved decision-making, and reduced risks (Example: Stitch Fix, Lufthansa).

Reconsidering Strategic Assumptions About Data

  • From: Data is expensive to generate within a company, firms manage data in silos.
  • To: Data is continuously generated everywhere, firms need to turn data into valuable information, unstructured data is increasingly valuable, value data is about connecting data across silos, data is a critical intangible asset.

Data as a Strategic Asset

  • Data is used to focus on operations, innovate, and create value for customers (e.g., Stitch Fix).

  • Data is used to reduce risks and optimize business processes (e.g., Lufthansa).

Big Data Use in Lufthansa

  • The company wanted to understand and leverage customer preferences and behavior for more effective process optimization.

Different Use Cases

  • Case Study 1: Personalizing Customer Experiences

Speeding up the Innovation Process

  • Digital technologies enable quick testing and real-time experiments.
