Under the pavement, under the beach! Why we need a revolution in the customer experience of data.
Abstract
We need a revolution in the customer experience of data.
Your customer experience of a product, service or place is dependent on the ‘data capital’ you have accumulated - or not - and how the ‘gatekeeper’ recognises you. But this goes beyond just products and services: In this session, we will think about how your ‘data capital’ affects every aspect of your lived experience of a retail journey, across a city, and as a citizen - and ask “What needs to change and why?”.
Speaker
Mary is the IBM iX Global Retail, Place & Consumer Behaviour specialist, helping all kinds of businesses to grow by asking awkward questions such as:
• What is your brand’s purpose?
• Who does your business serve?
• How do you do that?
• Why are you distinct from your competition?
• How do you get a customer to say ‘yes’, and then do it again?
Mary’s work centres on the converging future of retail strategy and technology, emerging consumer behaviour and societal changes. She not only understands the retail business end to end value chain, but also the disruptive trends affecting all parts of that whole business and consumer ecosystem.
Mary has worked for many years with a variety of retailers and brands – including Nike, Waitrose, John Lewis, Matalan, Kingfisher, Nivea, Mondelez and Marks & Spencer – to help reinvent their brand proposition for a modern consumer.
Following her work on the ‘UK High Street Revitalisation Strategy’, Mary is now developing a podcast to talk about how the changing retail landscape is affecting citizens, traders, towns and communities. She also runs the 'Retail Mashup' events for the retail tech & startup community and is a board member of several start-ups.
