It is a fact that the changes in the Digital world, accelerated by the pandemic, have radically changed the role of the customer and the consumer when they interact to companies. If in the pre-digital world, a customer had a more passive and reactive posture, while today she is more empowered (due to 4 main factors, which Andrea describes in the lecture), more demanding, detains power, and expects nothing less than 100% customization and absolute transparency. How to change our current CRM formats then? Andrea lists 3 main pillars of change, in this engaging keynote which is perfect for Marketing and Sales teams:
1 – “Know who you are talking to”: use the data to personalize the customer journey;
2 – “Do not sell a product or service, but an experience”;
3 – “Humanize the conversation”: practice active listening
The leadership style that brought us here, legacy of a pre-digital world, is not the one that will help our companies move forward. The question for leaders is: are you changing as fast as the world is changing? It is a fact the world has changed, and the future is coming faster than you think. It is an exponential and unpredictable world – confirmed even more by the current business scenario with real-time customer expectation updates and the combination of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at play -, where the role of the leader able of transforming business for the Digital world is increasingly important . In this talk, Andrea proposes a new leadership model, where the leadership skillset changes along 3 major pillars of transformation:
1 — Cognitive Transformation (how the leader thinks and makes decisions in the Digital Age);
2 — Behavioral Transformation (how the leader acts and tolerates mistakes);
3 — Emotional Transformation (how the leader connects and engages with others).
In the world of ongoing digital transformations, technology is a means, not an end. We are primarily talking about a human transformation. In this keynote, which is Andrea’s best-seller, he addresses the main skills necessary for teams of all sectors and departments to be able to reinvent themselves and to navigate their organizations in a world of Digital Transformation. From the description of what Andrea defines the 5 great forces of the Digital world, he elaborates on a vision of human skills of the digital age – with a mix of cases, storytelling and practical tools that make participants more engaged in a much-needed processes of behavioral and cultural change – showcasing these new 5 skills:
– Cognitive Flexibility
– Antifragility
– Customer-centricity
– Beginner’s mindset
– Humanization
In this keynote, Andrea discusses the trends and strategies that have been revolutionizing marketing strategy in the Digital Age. Using the case of Tinder, of which he was the Head in Latin America for 5 years, and of other successful companies, he reveals how the platform reached the top of the App Store’s highest-grossing Apps in Brazil since 2017: that is, thanks to what he calls the theory of the “Invisible Marketing”. In other words, a new way to make marketing more organic, more spontaneous, more personalized, and ultimately faster and cheaper!
3 main steps are the core of the virtuous circle that he defines the one of “Invisible Marketing”:
– More conversational and less transactional relations;
Focus on selling an experience and not just a product or service; Aspiration to obtain “brand love”.
