    The digital transformation forces companies to compete like in a car race: the fastest pilots, those who innovate better, get the pole position, and the others cannot but try to keep up and, in possible, overtake and lap the competitors. How? The latest survey issued by Prophet provides some suggestions to brands which are facing this challenge. The report entitled “Catalysts: The Cultural Levers of Growth in the Digital Age” focuses on one point especially: the digital transformation shall be driven, first of all, by a cultural transformation affecting not only organizations but also their customers.  This is the only way to make such change efficient, by coherently and logically turning theory into practice even when facing strategic changes of…

    After several months characterized by continuous rumours, an official statement has finally been released: Facebook is going to have its own currency, Libra. Joy of joys? Not really, and not for everyone. At least not for those who have not stopped to the details and have tried to gather an overview of the situation and long-term forecast. And according to such forecast the future seems to be doomed. Mainly, the future of politics, which has silently given up its role as a guide and a regulator without fighting at all.    The system applied by Mr. Zuckerberg is simply smart and has helped crypto-currencies to overcome the limits they could not overcome by themselves.

However, any digital transformation plan, nowadays, must take into consideration at least three additional factors. The first is the assessment of the efficacy of any action carried out. Failure to evaluate it, would nullify even the most articulated and specific initiative. Thanks to data, we can  now evaluate quite a lot of elements, from users’ actions to their sentiment and even their emotional response. Then, every step should be followed by a careful analysis.
