Digital – The Power of Innovation
Digital disruption is taking place with incredible speed beyond our comprehension.
Everyday, new platforms, new consumer experiences, and new formats of content are created. Today, we witness business and communication transformed by digital. Tomorrow, digital will no longer be a differentiator but the norm.
How will digital fundamentally change the way we create, consume, and relate to brands?
What could be the opportunities we have in this time of change?
Strong performer in The Forrester Wave: Digital Experience Service Providers, 2017: Isobar shows particular strength in customer experience strategy, design, customer data management, and technology.
Digital is accelerating faster than ever, and change happens in China first with the rest of the world following.
Global cross-border B2C eCommerce will more than double over the next five years to reach $424 billion by 2021. China drives this growth; its share of the online cross-border market will grow from 27% in 2015 to 40% in 2021. Cross-border sales will take an increasing share of online commerce, rising from 12% in 2015 to 15% in 2021.

In 10 Years You Will Do More Talking And Less Typing
I have stated for quite some time that 50% of all human interaction with computers will be through voice-assisted AI in the next ten years [2]. I went on to say:
“What if we didn’t need to learn arcane commands? What if you could use the most effective and powerful communication tool ever invented? This tool evolved over millions of years and allows you to express complex ideas in very compact and data dense ways yet can be nuanced to the width of a hair. What is this tool? It is our voice… The last 60 years of computing, humans were adapting to the computer. The next 60 years the computer will adapt to us. It will be our voices that will lead the way; it will be a revolution."
The Humble Echo Beginnings: “Lets Build A Self-Contained Talking Book Appliance”gt
Alexa operates via discrete programs called skills. When the first Echo shipped in late 2014, it had about 20 skills. Today there are over 5,200 skills with over 100 new skills now added per day. A skill allows Alexa to interact with a particular domain, such as the Domino's Pizza skill that allows for a direct ordering system with the company and the customer via Alexa. A skill can be viewed as a combination of an app and a website with highly organized keywords and actions

Hotel industry lost $500 million
Airbnb has more supply than Marriott/Starwood
The average rate paid for an Airbnb unit was $148.42, which is 25 percent higher than the average hotel rate of $119.11.
The number of compression nights (hotels make 35-70% premiums in sold-out nights)
declined in 2015, even as US hotel occupancy hit record highs.
And its being spurred on by the huge growth in connected devices - the 3rd wave of the internet.
It’s strange to think that when VJ was a fledgling business, there were 500m computers connected to the internet. That’s increased to over 12B devices today and estimates to grow to 100B by 2020.
100B devices. An average of 12 devices per human.
Macro: new tech + transparency/ trust+ efficiency (IBM Watson, Amazon Elexa, DT’ and Breixt’s Data + IAB/PG++, Commerce in APAC 2020)- we are moving into a new era, we need to learn how to communicate with machine and machine will dictate a lot on our reality, faster transaction, borderless commerce, little confidence in distributor, machine replace human relay.
Happiness in decision making
Satisficing by Herbert Simon (American Nobel Prize Winnder)
One of the fundations of productive human behavior, we don’t waste time on decisions that don’t matter, we don’t water time trying to find improvement that are not going to make a significant difference in our happiness or satisfaction.
What does 'Satisficing' mean
Satisficing is a decision-making strategy that aims for a satisfactory or adequate result, rather than the optimal solution. This is because aiming for the optimal solution may necessitate needless expenditure of time, energy and resources. The term "satisfice" was coined by American scientist and Noble-laureate Herbert Simon in 1956.
BREAKING DOWN 'Satisficing'
The theory of satisficing finds application in a number of fields including economics, artificial intelligence and sociology. Satisficing implies that a consumer, when confronted with a plethora of choices for a specific need, will select a product or service that is "good enough", rather than expending effort and resources on finding the best possible or optimal choice.
Create a fertile place where ideas can flourish
On a large scale that’s a question for a department or a company or a society
But on a smaller scale, I just want to talk about you.And how I think you can best prepare your mind.
What discipline can you put in place to make your mind more fertile, more likely to grow ideas, to harvest bigger and bigger creative thoughts?
