Keynote

Designing Branded Enterprise Experiences

Wednesday, April 16
15:45 – 16:30
Main Stage

In service innovation projects complexities abound, both within the boundaries of the organization and outside of them: value chains have become value networks, target customers have contextual and situational preferences in their complex experience journeys, and interactions with the organization involve many channels and touch points. Customer centricity is a prerequisite but it requires various cross sections through the organization to cooperate smoothly.

In his keynote, Erik will discuss the glue that holds these complex processes together. On the basis of case studies from his service design consulting practice, and insights from his teaching at the Delft University of Technology, Erik will dive deeper into how to align various enterprise functions around a shared and actionable vision and towards a coherent and tangible end-result. He will show through analysis of these various cases that a shared, actionable, and congruent enterprise vision is of vital importance for innovation success, and can be steered and managed effectively.
