Organisations fail because their initiatives are dictated by inward-looking business priorities.
Since market opportunities are constantly changing, their solutions are often dated by the time the project launches. Disregarding the problems people face both internally and externally hurts companies in the long run.
A few priorities to consider:
Business priorities
- Projections based on inaccurate data
- Chaotic processes create pushback
Market opportunity
- No time to react to disruption
- High risk of cultural missteps
Human needs
- Unaware of emerging unmet needs
- Lacks insight into future landscape
There’s a lot to learn from leading brands that enhance people’s lives through digital experiences that make a meaningful impact. This begins with understanding what today’s wellness customers value most.

Transformational Retail & Consumer Goods
About 71% of retailers agree that digital transformation is an essential part of retail technology.
The retail and consumer goods sector is leading the charge in digital adoption. This has ramifications for every organisation. Consumer standards are high. To have the greatest impact, it’s important to deliver contextual digital experiences that include personal details.
Trust and Data Empathy
Request data in a way that builds trust and shows clear benefits to the customer. Then use it to personalise experiences. Apply segments with attitudinal and behavioral traits to build cultural sensitivity into your code. Use agile models to understand customer behaviors and prioritise actions to meet emerging needs.
