Summary

Customer Anywhere, Commerce Everywhere

Customer behaviour is changing so fast that your organisation needs to be “fleet of foot” enough to service them across the channels, locations and devices of their choice – consistently. Oh, and you’d also like to generate revenue across all of those channels – ASAP!

As your business tries to realise the commercial value of re-orienting around customers, the challenges of adjusting your business model, breaking down long-established silos and transforming company culture, come into sharp focus.

Our breakfast panel discussion took senior business leaders who are facing precisely this challenge, and will share their experiences (along with your own) in order to better inform your own internal debates.
