Anticipation is one of the most salient ingredients for success. However, it is not easy to anticipate what will happen in the future.JOE HEART
However, anticipation can be learned – we can learn it from athletes. Take for instance tennis players. They can predict what type of serve they will receive (and therefore return 150mph serve) because they know how to focus only on the most relevant cues in an opponents’ movement pattern. Top performers are excellent at picking up clues about what the opponent will do. They will know whether the shot will go cross-court or down the line. The eyes of novices are all over the place, whereas athletes’ focus is much more targeted and economical. Top athletes use anticipation to quicken their responses and they have a superior ability to read the game.
How would you play the game when it is getting more complex. In tennis, you can anticipate well when it is one component but how well would you anticipate when it’s many opponents – or multiple ballsComplexity is increasing in the business space. Consider these facts:There are new sources of information: Aside from press, media, analysts they are also relying on the crowd, and their friends. Soon augmented reality will allow for new data forms we’ve not yet seen. (that’s about 5 factors)New forms of media: The channels as we know them Paid Owned and Earned are starting to intermix, as a result a new form of media is impacting them. Social websites have social ads, making content and advertising a new form. (that’s about 3 factors)New screens: Traditionally we’ve thought of TV, Laptop, and Mobile, but now we must factor in a tablet experience (which is different than the aforementioned) and with Google Glass augmented reality coming, that will be a fifth screen to build a strategy for. (that’s 5 factors)To understand the complexity, this model suggests 5 X 3 X 5 which is 75 different permutations. Next, the brand must understand this for every single phase: awareness, consideration, intent, purchase, support, loyalty, advocacy, (that’s 7 steps, resulting in 525 permutations per persona) then multiple times every product group and then geography, the math is staggering on the complexity.
Target does anticipation well – maybe too well. Relate Target story.
The need for anticipation stems from the fact that we’re at the collision point of multiple trends: consumer behavior and expectations, dictated by their online experience, are changing dramatically. They want/expect:-Personalization/customization-Immediate and accurate response-Social engagement-Multiple types of media from multiple channelsThis is why Altimeter has engaged in research in these three areas – I will share two of them with you today: The Dynamic Customer and The Sentient World.
Relate Times Square story.Consumers will have many choices in their journey, much how this times square experience overwhelms but gives buyers options. This same experience will happen digitally for consumers, even in their homes.

Customers would scan and purchase these products for same day delivery. “So, Tesco Homeplus created a virtual store in Seoul subway stations in which the displays and merchandise are exactly the same as the stores. Customers scan the desired product with their smartphone and it then appears in their online cart. The products will be delivered to their door ‘right after you get home.’”[1]http://www.adobomagazine.com/cannes/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Direct-Gold-KR.jpgMobile web stats…http://www.singleboundcreative.com/2011/05/infographic-the-mobile-web/June 27, 2011 (Updated Nov. 16, 2011)#foodbev#retail#mobile#asia#support #learn#jaimy#SW
DCJ has channel, device and source, across every customer touchpoint5.2% of businesses are actively automating their customer journeys through well-defined stages as of 4/30/2012 (this number was 5.0% same time last year, but with the growth of our customer base that actually is a 53% increase in total customers)
People don’t change from generation to generation. What changes is the composition of things around them. Stein wrote that each generation has its composition. Those Cubist artists had a deeper instinct for the vibrations around them. They were creating new psychological maps. When you’re aware of the context, you also become more open to using different fields. If Cubist demanded that we look at the world from multiple perspectives, the mash-up industry demands that we look at the world as composed of multiple objects mixed together.

https://plus.google.com/111626127367496192147/postsProject Glass is a research and development program by Google to prototype and build an augmented realityhead-mounted display (or HMD).[1] Though such displays for augmented reality are not a new idea, the project has drawn media attention[2] primarily due to its backing by the major public corporation, as well as the prototype, which is smaller and slimmer than the previous designs for head-mounted displays.[3] The first Project Glass demo resembles a pair of normal eyeglasses where the lens is replaced by a heads-up display.[4] In the future, new designs may allow integration of the display into people's normal eyewear.Other major eyewear companies are involved in similar projects, like Oakley.
SW has big data, internet of things, high performance computing, cloud, and devicesThink about body data, supply chain, and city data.This summarizes devices, big data, AI, cloud, and internet of things.This is about social, location, digital data as well as sensor data, coming together to provide wisdom that is beyond the capacity of humans. That knowledge and insight supports the DCJ and AO, but also creates disruption and opportunities as well. Example is in innovation, product design, predictive demand sensing that impacts the supply chain. Implications if you (or your competitor) is better able to harness data sentience -- what could you do with it?
