In a customer centric world driven by technology, it is not just about products and services that a business provides but how it is provided. Additionally, the provisioning of these services must cater to important requirements demanded by customers who want to be able to compute and transact anytime, anywhere and in any manner they desire.For a business to survive today, it would need to digitally transform in one way or another. Traditional business practices are not designed to cater to the way people like to do business in an omni-channel marketplace. A business must be able to identify and understand their customers in order to personalise their buying experience, whether in person through retail or via the web. Marketing systems must be in place to continuously nurture these customers to extend the sales lifecycle. Most importantly, internal processes and systems within a company must be aligned and integrated to seamlessly run its operations like a team and not a group of individual functions. With a strong, individually tailored and customer driven vision, a company can sell anything either directly or through a well established partner network. Partner networks are not to be belittled in Asia as many companies in the region build their successes based on very ‘tight’ relationships with their customers, where the reverse is also true.I have been actively engaging channel partners and C level executives in Asia Pacific & Japan to discuss their business and how a digital vision centred around customers will greatly enhance their company’s future business.My articles found in LinkedIn, CIO Asia, Digital News Asia, Business Times, Today and other publications, discuss a number of diverse topics but they all touch an element of digital transformation and the innovations necessary for a business to be competitive.It is all about creating a vision that customers believe in and one that an ecosystem of partners can be a part of and help fulfil!
