Dig Festival was an amazing 2 days, here’s a snapshot:

#DiGFestival #colcons being discussed in the context of the collaborative consumer – this is a very important shift in behaviour that will affect business models everywhere!

#DiGFestival Interesting question for businesses – they may want to co-create with consumers but consumers may want to co-create with other consumers – not businesses.

#DiGFestival co-creative consumers are called Value Initiators – this is a good term to help better understand how to engage them.

#DiGFestival good eg of Vanish engaging the customer to find out how they use the product in ways not intended or expected – co creating further content and product development

#DiGFestival Businesses need a macro environment to create the need to co-create.

#DiGFestival @PWC talking Economic Growth through Open Innovation.

#DiGFestival @xero is devloping streamlined banking & faster payments – good news for businesses!

@servantofchaos #DiGFestival @PWC showed the Ask You video – love it!! #innovation

#DiGFestival @ServantofChaos ‘to look 10 yrs ahead, look 20 yrs behind’ In the past we knew our customers who were geographically close…. Today we have access to this again thanks to geolocational software.

#DiGFestival @ServantofChaos ‘look at the WHOLE Customer Journey, not just the purchase stage’
