AICEX: Un interessante articolo per ragionare sui futuri assetti aziendali, inclusi i rapporti tra CEO e CMO.

There are some new faces these days in the boardroom. They have new titles like Chief Customer Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Digital Officer, and Chief Experience Officer. These executives have responsibilities we might expect to reside within marketing. That leaves Chief Marketing Officers with a decision — do you see the rise of these roles as an opportunity or a threat? Our conversations with marketing leaders suggest that CMOs are indeed at a crossroads with four potential paths:  up, over, down, or out.

The reason for these new roles is that we’re entering a new era of digital transformation. Over the last decade, most companies’ digital agendas have focused largely on technology — moving to cloud-based software, modernizing IT infrastructures, adding digital channels, and digitizing business processes. These efforts have enabled operational efficiencies, cost reductions, and greater agility, preparing companies for the next phase of digital transformation: driving growth. So leaders have turned to what ultimately drives growth: creating value for the customer and using new technologies to transform the customer experience.

AICEX: GESTIRE LE ESPERIENZE DEI CLIENTI NON E’ PIU’ UN LUSSO, MA UNA NECESSITA’ DI BUSINESS.

There is much talk these days about the rise of customer experience. Nearly every service, product or expertise is first hive-minded, Uberized and Yelped, then tweeted with true glee or scorn, ordered hands-free thanks to Alexa, coupon-coded and reviewed to death. Instant vilification kills and instant gratification buoys brands — often quite quickly. Whatever room for error may have existed before our digital nativity, the times have changed.

Moving Into New Digital Ground

As customers, being jerked around by telecoms, car rental companies and airlines is passé. Last month, after an Avis rental problem was poorly handled, I did some Google research and reached out to a customer service executive. I had a callback and refund within 24 hours. A Delta kosher meal debacle in the spring was quickly solved with gift cards to our mailbox. No-questions-asked refunds (think Trader Joe’s and Amazon) have now become the norm.

Fortune: 5 motivi per i quali Amazon aprira’ altri negozi fisici

AICEX: IL CANALE FISICO CONSENTE MODALITA’ DI RELAZIONE NON OTTENIBILI CON CANALI DIGITALI.

Amazon’s seventh physical store opening—the latest in New York City last week—might seem rather counterintuitive. Why would a company that is responsible for the demise of many bricks-and-mortar retail stores bother to open its own physical stores? Yet, from a strategic standpoint, brick-and-mortar stores are not a slip backward into book retailing, but rather a step forward toward establishing a unique, cross-category, omni-channel approach. There are several ways in which physical stores might benefit Amazon:

Content discovery
Amazon’s online bookstore is a place where customers can easily find the book they are looking for. But its huge inventory comes at a cost: There is simply too much choice available for consumers who are unsure about what they want to read. Amazon.com—the pioneer of “one-click” online purchasing—is a great option for customers who like to save time when shopping, but its brick-and-mortar stores work better for customers who want to spend time discovering new reads. To this end, Amazon makes it easy by curating lists of books by consumer ratings, and even the speed of reading the content, as measured by Kindle data.

Personale, Emozionale, Tecnologica. Questa è l’esperienza che ci aspettiamo.

AICEX: In un mondo digitale che è diventato la regola le emozioni sono sempre una chiave molto forte, soprattutto nel mondo fisico, che sta diventando una eccezione.

When you ask people about their life-changing, ‘a-ha’ moments, you’ve probably noticed that they’re almost always emotion-based. The joy of finding out they will become a parent, the reflection after an argument when criticism sinks in, the surprise at having assumptions challenged – I could go on, but you see what I mean: in each case it’s emotion that makes a difference both in the moment and in your memory.

I don’t think that it’s any different when we interact with brands. You just have to look on Twitter to see the streams of frustration from unhappy customers, and on the flip side, tweets from brands that make customers feel their concerns were listened to.
