Stable companies fail for 3 reasons:
Changing the environment: The Covid-19 pandemic is bankrupting corporations in all sectors. Automation and outsourcing have destroyed entire cities.
Reinventing models: Apple’s touch interface has destroyed the BlackBerry.
Changing visitors’ expectations: virtual has destroyed the film
Alterations caused by business or technological models or customer behavior are well known. However, the pandemic has shown us that many of the luxuries and indulgences we love are dead and have a massive effect on the environment. If not before, many now consult the desire to own high-value individualized assets. For example, much of the work, education and entertainment can be done online. So everyone wants one or more cars that stay the longest? And how do production and driving processes affect the environment?
Companies are still involved in their longevity, but achieving close cultural adjustments requires a new strategy. What can a company do to apply and test over time?
While few need to own and maintain underutilized assets, they need to use bright products on demand. Will a sustainable company re-sell products after this pandemic ends or sell access to the products? For example: when self-driving cars are available, who will pay to have a car in the garage or drive it twice a day? Will the total number of cars be much lower? Will mass production give way to limited production or demand?
With such a long time in mind, we can define methods for sustainable companies:
1. Remove the product property from the table. Provide services.
2. Create the service source chain when you are gradually eliminating product sales.
3. Keep the offer completely new and next generation. Constantly innovate in your products and upgrade seamlessly.
4. Crowdsource functions and enjoy the requirements. Publicly dedicate to experimenting with road maps.
5. Build a virtual transformation for all of this.
Luxurious? No. All this has been done through corporations in one way or another. Who? How? Read.
No products; Services only
The hassle of buying and maintaining a car is a fashionable selection when everyone can rent a car. Unfortunately, the sharing economy is being seriously challenged by the pandemic. The service style of Uber and Airbnb had restored expectations and replaced culture when “community outreach” interrupted it. I who the sharing economy will fall back when a vaccine or verifiable remediation procedure arrives. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) debate is over. Giant and small businesses decide on SaaS and cloud services. If you’ve ever bought vegetables on a farm, you know that even consumables have in-play service styles. Even industries like fashion and clothing are becoming services. Flexibility and comfort overshadow the desire to own things like cars, houses and equipment. Commercial and production styles can be tailored.
The benefits for the visitor in a service style are no down payment, no maintenance and no considerations about the resale value. In turn, the company gains knowledge about customer usage and behavior, increased loyalty and skill for the product/service delight in smaller steps without too much customer re-education. To support time control, a company can turn its offerings into on-demand service styles.
Service supply chain
Rolls-Royce does not sell jet engines. He rents them to airlines on time. Products used per order and not purchased have absolutely other operational structures. To move from promoting products to product as a service, corporations will have to estimate the call and organize the availability of the product, the collection and return of the product, and the renewal, at least. They also want to streamline product removal and upgrade processes. You want more complicated font strings to allow all of this. There will probably be radical adjustments to the delivery model.
Such an operational plan can be married with a monetary plan with planned profit margins and equilibrium thresholds. Revenue and benefit projections will dramatically replace the service lane. However, market conversion and visitor expectations will require a company to navigate those unclear waters now, only to stay afloat in the coming years.
Innovate, improve, repeat
Longevity is driven by innovation. The automotive, smartphone and electronics industries have made an art of making sure everyone is inspired by new products and paying huge sums of cash for lacheck products. Smartphone outlets have made it even less difficult to buy phones by allowing you to transfer to the next phone with partial bills only for the last phone. Looks like he hasn’t been called a service yet. To stand the test of time, a company will need to temporarily innovate and continually impress its consumers with advanced experiences.
Crowdsource Customer Expectations
Customer expectations come from the product area and reports completely different and independent. Social media and news have immediately raised awareness of the characteristics and reports of the competition. Companies such as Walmart, Netflix, Lego, Polaris and Lays remain applicable and innovate through talking to visitors. All companies can collect visitors’ expectations and publicly focus on prioritizing expectations. It’s a way for corporations to understand, control and exceed visitor expectations.
Digital transformation
Technology plays a role in creating companies for this highly accelerated new world. IoT and automation on the production and source side, the complete lifecycle of brand visitors and ever-changing infrastructure dictate the transformation required for a corporate product as a service.
Entrepreneurial and startup cultures are achieving product innovations remarkably fast. A strategic change to also implement the above five tenets will ensure that they do not get plowed out of the marketplace. Future-proof companies will be services only and will innovate constantly in response to customer expectations.
