At Forrester, we believe we have entered into a new business era that we call “The Age of the Customer.” Your customers are now empowered through social, mobile, and other technologies giving the power to disrupt your business.
In the “age of the customer” the old sources of advantage like manufacturing strength, distribution power, and information are business as usual -- and now to be truly competitive companies must become customer obsessed – which means they need to have deep knowledge of and engagement with their customers.
Examples:
Age of Manufacturing
B2C – Ford, RCA, P&G
B2B – Boeing, GE
Age of Distribution
B2C – Walmart, Toyota
B2B – UPS, CSX
Age of Information
B2C – Amazon, Google
B2B – Inuit, IBM
Age of the Customer
B2C – Macy’s, USAA
B2B - Salesforce

We believe that in this Age of the Customer, companies must focus on four market imperatives:
- Transform the customer experience
- Embrace the mobile mind shift
- Become a digital disruptor
- Turn big data into business insights
ASK: How do you see these market imperatives impacting you and your business?
DISCUSSION
Which one is the CIO / CMO? (ask CMO’s first)
You need to shift from an inside-out view of the world – one centered in your business – to an outside-in view of the world – the one your customer sees. In the traditional inside-out view we focus on pushing products and services to customers as efficiently as possible;
in the outsidein view we focus on the customer’s perceptions of value derived from their product and service experiences; and we seek to increase the perceived value we deliver over time.
Digital business seek to master twin digital imperatives

here are six steps toward digital mastery for you to take back to your company and exploit.
Help the CEO to their “AHA” moment: your CEO needs to get that moment when they say “aha” now I get it. They must see the extinction event and have the vision to transform the business because it requires a shift in investment resources that the CEO must steer.
Build a digital business vision & transformation strategy: Because transformation impacts the entire business it’s critical that this isn’t seen as a marketing thing – or that thing the guys in digital do. Your employees must be sold on the vision or they won’t want to make the shift from their comfort zone of destruction.
Create a digital center of excellence – partner with CMO: your firm needs to have heroes to champion digital as well as the skills to execute on the digital strategy. So you’ll need to partner with marketing to bring the left and right brain of the firm together. Only then will you achieve digital mastery.
Create value for customers inside their ecosystems: customer journeys exist inside ecosystems of value; your firm must understand what other sources of value exist for your customers within their ecosystems. At the same time you must learn to embrace dynamic ecosystems for your business, connecting with other companies through open APIs
Use analytics to enhance the customer experience: with all the digital data being gathered from sensors, apps, websites and social media, you have a treasure trove for analytics – use the analytics to enhance the customer experience and create added customer value.
Use trusted machines to scale the digital experience: while people a re great at delivering personal experiences, to scale great experiences at web-scale you will need to create trusted machines that automate changes in the customer experience and deliver enhanced customer value within their ecosystems of value
And with that I wish you success in your own digital transformation
Thank you
