Blog: End to End BPM

During 2016 we heard a lot about digital transformation, considered as the new Industrial Revolution 4.0, providing the catalyst for new business models, products, services and customer experiences that impact not only businesses but society overall. The societal impact will not reach the end of property or the end of financial flows or money but will increase the power of commons in a more open society.

Technology is playing an increasing role in everything we do, collectively with our customers shaping growth, disrupting industry landscapes and providing the catalyst for change. The ability to connect and manage all assets, products, employees and customers globally, like a network, has not really ever been possible or feasible, as well. Why is this important?  Because we are definitively in the era of the platform. We cannot optimize parts of the platform once we will sub-optimize the whole. We cannot be solely focused on social listening and incorporate it in customer and marketing management, we must listen and empower the commons to participate in the creation of changing business models and promote the efficiency of the ecosystem we belong. Recently, Tesla provided what is leading trough digital transformation. Sparked by a customer complain, that could not use the vehicle charging bays, in 6 days only, Tesla re-invented the service and induced efficiency and increased customer satisfaction as follows. As the Tesla example shows, digital transformation is about move beyond just thinking about our customers and start thinking like them, or if you prefer, put in your customer shoes.

Business model change – time to market: 6 days

We designed the Supercharger network to enable a seamless, enjoyable road trip experience. […] we understand that it can be frustrating to arrive at a station only to discover fully charged Tesla cars occupying all the spots. To create a better experience […] we’re introducing a fleet-wide idle fee that aims to increase Supercharger availability. […] The Tesla app allows […] alerting them when their charge is nearly complete and again once fully charged. For every additional minute a car remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur a $0.40 idle fee. If the car is moved within 5 minutes, the fee is waived.

The era of the platform is contributing slowly to the end of asset ownership. But contrary of many views, similar of Ida Auken, member of the Danish parliament, this is not the beginning of the end of capitalism. The total cost of ownership will decrease, but will not be eliminated, money will continue to flow towards a consumption based economy and will be re-invested by companies to innovate and to create new products.
.
Previously businesses models were designed to create a product, introduce in the market and, then customers bought it. That was the end of the era. Chemical companies are helping farmers to increase harvest regardless if the farmer relies on a IoT array of equipment or it communicate crop conditions using a mobile app, Healthcare providers changed their business model to extend life-expectancy by monitoring on real time vital signs, instead of reactive surgeries and post-surgery recovery. Today organizations are building in endless feedback loops – sensors in products, services, customer feedback from a variety of channels.
.
Business model transformation requires the development of an open ecosystem that merges technology, people and business process that enable these feedback loops, and define an organization’s competitiveness and ability to change the entire landscape of the industries in which it participates.
