Episode Description

The buzz: “Welcome to the experience economy, where "a company intentionally uses services as the stage, and goods as props, to engage individual customers in a way that creates a memorable event" (Harvard Business Review quoted on forbes.com). The term "experience economy" was first used in 1998 by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, who argued that businesses must orchestrate memorable events for their customers, and that memory itself becomes the product: the "experience". Its arrival has wide-ranging implications for many industries and for how ecosystems need to come together to deliver better experiences to consumers. Bottom line: The same old products and services will no longer cut it. The experts speak. Marc Geall: “The only source of knowledge is experience” (Einstein). Peter Maier: “Experience is the teacher of all things” (Julius Caesar). Svend Wittern: “Change is the only constant in life” (Heraclitus). Join us for Business Transformation and The Experience Economy.

Game-Changing Business Model Disruption, Presented by SAP

Tuesday at 10 AM Eastern Time/7 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

The pace of technological advance is constantly increasing, pressuring companies to be more effective and use innovation to disrupt – and not be disrupted.

At the same time, many businesses do not fully leverage the innovation potential of their employees and partners due to a lack of skills or ambition, or ineffective legacy technology. As a result, ideas fail to come to fruition.

Join host Bonnie D. Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers for our special series that offers a glimpse into tomorrow’s hot business and industry trends around Continuous Business Innovation – and how to “innovate innovation” within your company.

Learn how you can become the savvy Transformation Leader who takes your company across the finish line as you look ahead to the next wave of business.

Game-Changing Business Model Disruption, presented by SAP, on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel.
