Are you Future-Proof?

December 13th, 2019 / Tags:

There is one disruptor we have not talked about yet: Mike Tyson. He disrupted the pay-per-view industry back in June 1997 when he bit off a part of Evander Holyfield’s ear. What became known as the “Bite Fight” generated 1.99 million PPV buys. Holy Shift!

When it comes to going digital, if you don’t move fast enough, you might get knocked out, too.

And I got news for you: the technology is the easy part. If you’ve been following along with this series, what I hope you’ve learned is that digital transformation is all about the experience. Culture change, corporate agility, and the ability to change with your customers are key to sustainability and growth. Which means you’ve got to ask yourself the tough questions.

At this point, I hope you’ve answered these key questions about your digital maturity. If not, here’s your chance:

 

  • Have you established a digital strategy for your company?
  • Do you understand your user experience and your customers and where you can find them online?
  • Are you effectively managing content for your web properties?
  • Is your product information management system up to par?
  • Do you know how to get started with ecommerce, supporting your resellers, distributors, sales agents, and even selling direct to your consumers?
  • Are you leveraging digital marketing to drive more users to your web properties?

 

Future-proofing your company is not just about the tech. Like I said earlier, it’s about the experience. It’s about laying the foundation and developing a solid business model that will stand the test of time—or at least the next five to ten years.

 

Don’t get knocked out. Don’t get left behind. It’s time to get on the path forward. Let Shift7 be your guide.
