"I realised that you have to fully immerse yourself and learn the process. It’s not as simple as hiring a manufacturer and asking them to do a job, or recruiting a designer and asking them to create artwork. You have to be fully involved and learn how things work — even if you’re not an expert, you need to become one." Sophia Procter https://lnkd.in/dAdtuax #founder #design #product …see more

good technical piece. of course, finality is not circumscribed to tech alone. there are many other factors that need to achieve finality (tax, legal rights, governance...). iow, finality has to be approached holistically.

I say it all the time but I think LinkedIn is an under-used platform. >12,000 subscribers to my LinkedIn newsletter in 7 days.

"I am quite an obsessive person, so I get into something and stay with something. It’s not like a short attention span, but I get very immersed into one thing, do it, and then I might move on to something else. It’s just this getting into something, and sticking with it until you get that output you desire. So, I guess I’ve never been normal, but because of the App Store, I was alongside the biggest publishers which excited me because it gave this equilibrium that you wouldn’t find on any other platform before."

Coase transaction cost theory of the firm most probably also applies to blockchain endeavors without much tweaking. agency cannot be abstracted away magically so.

This should be interesting to see the take rate of Walmart 's new Amazon Prime-like subscription when it launches on September 15th. I suspect that it will be pretty big as they will offer similar benefits like free grocery delivery but also add in things like cheaper gasoline. Open question is will it siphon off a significant amount of current Prime members or just be adopted by current customers? #walmart #subscription #amazonprime …see more

It’s an acceleration of a trend and it’s hard to imagine it reversing course soon or ever. #retailstrategy #retailtrends #dtc #shopping #shoppingexperience #storedesign #retailtransformation #covid19 #coronavirus #customerexperience …see more

In my latest column I tackle the topic of customer loyalty and its role in the overall customer experience strategy of organizations. Are customer loyalty programmes worth it? Do customers get real value from such programmes? What rights do customers give up to be part of loyalty programmes? This is definitely a hot topic to watch out for in 2019. #CX #loyaltyprogrammes #loyalty #digital #banks #retailers #telco #b2c Adrian Gore Jacques Barkhuizen Wayne Hull ITWeb Johan Moolman Fayelizabeth Foster Ciko Thomas …see more

Your first reaction to this Payless ShoeSource campaign might be, "wow, that was brutal thing to do." But it was it? After all, the "influencers" had to sign off on use of the footage. So that means either they were in on it from the get-go or they value exposure over being duped. I suspect it's the latter.
