13. How you present a digital review is critical
Purpose of a review: to provide full information to allow for
decisions. Strip the opinion, present the facts.
Do not lump the digital review and the digital strategy (nor
roadmap) into one deliverable.
Deliver and facilitate the review in a dedicated “immersion”
workshop with cross functional, in person participation.
Allow line of business owners to present their own sections.
Create a tight presentation
– No more than 7 bullets, per slide (or categorize)
– Follow “bullshit !, prove it, so what?” format
– No more than 1 idea per slide
– No facebook wall or twitter screen capture dumps!
– Learn the art of visualization – make complex data easy to read
– Include the one page pull out
© Laurie Dillon-Schalk 2011
15. Strategy development
Insist on starting with a digital review
Invite outside perspectives for emerging media, asset
review
Speed up the delivery of a strategy by holding cross
functional, team exercises:
• Immersion: Sharing context, insights, perspectives
• Planning: Objective & initiatives setting
– After immersion, identify key issues or opportunities
– Confirm vision & objectives
– Have a independent stakeholder consideration of strategies and tactics, then allow
for group think.
– Consider sticky notes! Synthesize & vote
• Alignment: Involve, agree & commit

16. By understanding the „hierarchy‟ of your customer needs,
we can prioritize the digital opportunities
Satisfaction Differentiators Differentiators : Attracts customers
away from a competitor.
Satisfiers
Satisfiers: May improve
satisfaction, but are „nice to have‟
because they do not change buying
behaviour.
Basic
Expectations
Basic Expectations: If expectations
are not met or done poorly, it drives
dissatisfaction and would cause
customers to leave.
Time
We can use customers‟ expectations to inform our investments.

19. Rules of thumb for planning
Accommodate “Quick Hits” or “Low hanging fruit”
Insist on cascading objectives, strategies & tactics
Objectives Strategies Tactics Measures
1. 1. 1.
2. 2.

2. 3. 5.
Agree on the criteria for opportunity prioritization
– Business Value
• Impact to Customer Experience
• Impact to Revenue & Cost
– Complexity
• Ease of Implementation

For each major tactic, identify project approach, task list, assumptions and
dependencies

20. Last words
Never „once & done‟

changing so rapidly always have to readjust it.”

Hinweis der Redaktion Great definition http://www.easy-strategy.com/strategy-definition.htmlStrategy is the mean by which objectives are consciously and systematically pursued and obtained over time. The word “strategy” derives from the Greek word stratçgos; which derives from two words: - "stratos" – meaning army."ago" – which is the ancient Greek for leading/guiding/moving.In its military aspect, the term had to do with stratagems by which a general sought to defeat an enemy, with plans he made for a campaign, and with the way, he moved and disposed his forces in war. The strategy definition most commonly known today is as the art of analyzing, projecting and directing campaigns. Strategy is not planning. Strategy deals with competitive situation in an uncontrolled environment. Planning deals with situations in a controlled environment. You might question where the brand review, strategy & plan fits within this diagram. Ideally, a business review, strategy & plan and a brand r,s,p have taken place prior to a digital r,s,p. The brand idea & direction informs the strategy. Deliver in a dedicated “immersion” workshop with cross functional, in person participationDo not lump the digital review and the digital strategy into one deliverable. There needs to be stakeholder check points & involvement so that by the project sponsor/approver sees the digital strategy and roadmap, there are no surprises. A well designed digital experiences carefully manages several levels of consumer expectationsDifferentiators : Attacts customers away from a competitor. We need to excel at this to increase market share!Satisfiers: May improve satisfaction, but are ‘nice to have’ because they do not change buying behaviour.Basic Expectations: If expectations are not met or done poorly, it drives dissatisfaction and would cause customers to leave.Must do this – but only to “meet the minimum” - no gain in over-investing.
