Episode Description

The buzz: “Welcome to the experience economy, where—as the Harvard Business Review so eloquently put it—"a company intentionally uses services as the stage, and goods as props, to engage individual customers in a way that creates a memorable event" (Daniel Newman, www.forbes.com). The experience economy is here. It’s live 24/7, it's emotional, it's global, it’s powerful and it's influencing the way we live, work and do business. But how can businesses manage all of that to stay relevant? By collecting experience X-data at every meaningful touchpoint and combining it with operational O-data, then analyzing and understanding the experience gaps and what to do about them. The experts speak. Bruce Temkin, Qualtrics XM Institute: “The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem” (Captain Jack Sparrow). Timo Elliott, SAP: “If you have to be naked, you’d better be buff” (Don Tapscott). Join us for The Experience Economy: What It Means for Business and You.

Digital transformation is changing every facet of the way we live and work. Technology is behind everything from automation, to connectivity and the experience economy. Industries and infrastructures know innovation is imminent. Yet only a small fraction of organizations feel they have mastered digital to a point of differentiation from their competitors.

Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers for our series on how innovation leaders are embracing digital transformation to redefine their business models and outcomes, no matter the industry, on "Reinventing Life and Business with Game-Changers."
