Put the customer at the heart of your DIGITAL transformation.
WHAT WORKED WELL LAST CENTURY IS INADEQUATE FOR THIS.
The orthodox approaches of yesterday are flawed and expensive.
MAINSTREAM CONSULTANCIES.
Traditional consultancies are expensive, lack real-world business expertise, and don’t always build durable capability.
MARKETING AGENCIES.
Agencies tend to have a front-end or channel focus, a tactical mindset, and often have inexperienced teams.
IN-HOUSING.
Staff often lack critical experience and have a bias towards an internal focus. Initiatives are at the risk of frequently changing priorities.
