Supplementing my other Slideshare post re: "2014 Customer Decision Journey", this October 2014 presentation for IT professionals, examines what lies beyond Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, and Social for 2015. Essentially, McKinsey, Harvard, Gartner, and others concur that in an Internet of Things hyper-connected world.... 2015 and beyond is all about using technology to bring unique value and competitive advantage on a humanly personal, customer-centric, demographic-of-one basis. This presentation examines the McKinsey / Harvard Customer Decision Journey / Digital Customer Journey model as it has evolved over the past 6 years, and delves into best practices as promoted by McKinsey, Harvard, Gartner and others, for how IT should and must respond. This is tutorial research summarizing a large quantity of McKinsey, Harvard, and Gartner papers and research presentations. I provide it in PowerPoint format so that all may benefit. In the same way as others have so generously shared their knowledge and material with me, now I am doing the same for all of you. My only request is that you always give me full accreditation as the author of this summary research and presentation. This material was first presented to the Suncoast Technology Forum, Sarasota, Florida, USA, on Tuesday October 21, 2014. John Sing, Sarasota, FL, USA October 21, 2014 www.linkedin.com/in/johnsing/

By 2014:
mobile will be main way of connecting to Internet.
Younger consumers are already doing so,
various activities ranging from social media to online shopping are increasing on smartphones.
Smartphones are becoming the primary camera for more and more people
coinciding with Instagram reaching 50 million users
while smartphone users are not only always connected but engage in content snacking as this US report says
In other words, what we consume may not be different
but how we consume it, how long for, how they share it and how they view it will be.
the role that smartphones play on the auto dealership lot:

We once were in a mode that we could methodically whittled down purchase choice until a final selection was carefully made. Unfortunately, today that model is overwhelmed. Not only that, but this outdated funnel analogy doesn’t account for what happens *after* the purchase, which arguably when all the hard work *really* begins.
Marketers still use funnel analysis to track discrete processes (i.e. checkout funnel), but it’s not how we describe the broader customer decision journey any more.

Comparing the “funnel” vs. the “Customer Decision Journey”
You can see tons of versions here:

Instead, our customers (and thus, we as business owners) take a much more iterative, circular, less reductive journey
Nowadays, we describe the customer’s decision journey as more of an orbit. The farther away the customer ‘travel’s from your brand, the more consideration and pause and departure in their process of deciding to buy from you. The tighter the customer ‘travels’ to your brand, the more loyal they are.
Ideally, you of course should be spending (far) less to acquire a customer for a repeat purchase, than you did for their first purchase. Often, your most vocal advocates are your most loyal customers, giving rise to the idea of the “Loyalty Loop”.
Key takeaway: these 4 stages are the 4 “battlegrounds” for your customer’s business
Customers are more influenced by the “evaluate” and “enjoy / advocate / bond “ stages, than the “consider” and “buy” stages
Consideration
Customer considers an initial set of brands, based on brand perceptions and exposure to recent touch points
Customer impressions formed from: Advertising, news, conversation, product experience shapes the “initial consideration set” (only!)

With all of this as a context, now when we see the 1000s of articles like this one, they start to make sense:
