Case 2: Transforming perceptions of logistics industry

The Challenge: A client from the logistics industry wanted to transform the perception of logistics service providers as vendors to trusted partners of their customers.

They got engaged – hearing about the logistics trends and growth opportunities in Southeast Asia as the region shifts from a manufacturing centre to a consumer market.

They started sharing – leveraging each other’s experience and best practices to understand how different companies took advantage of free trade agreements and logistics service providers to maximise return on investment.

They made plans – reviewing their current operating model and prioritizing critical areas of improvements.

The Output: A validation and refinement of the value added services logistics service providers can offer to help customers accelerate their growth plans or defray operating costs to protect margins.

Case 3: Innovating experiences for customers in the media industry

The Challenge: A corporate incubator in the media industry wanted their top entrepreneurs to gain a better understanding of the importance of innovating experience in the marketplace.

They got informed – being introduced to the concept of “Customer-Centricity”, “Outside-In Innovation”, and why these matter in an increasingly sophisticated and consumer-led marketplace.

They got thinking – having re-considered the experience each start-up was creating, their customer’s personas and how they might innovate their customer’s experience journeys to increase conversion and stickiness.

They got innovative – applying the concepts and tools learnt to build better end-to-end experiences for their customers.

The Output: A deeper understanding of what it means to be customer-centric in their business strategy, with each start-up devising tactics to innovate end-to-end customer experience.
