Opportunity, A customer-centric approach is key in a post-pandemic world, MIT Technology Review
  • After months of hunkering down at home, consumers got used to online shopping, telehealth doctor’s appointments and contactless and curbside pickup, effectively doubling e-commerce sales in the last 18 months.
  • These new consumerist practices are here to stay, Bill Kanarick, EY’s global chief transformation architect for consulting, predicts—and that means businesses have to reinvent themselves. He discusses how companies are rising to the challenge of new consumer needs and differentiates businesses that will thrive from those that will struggle to survive.
    Opportunity, Becoming the greatest, MIT Technology Review
    • Muhammad Ali became greatest the day he just decided to be.
    • I think I personally see a lot more organizations, a lot more, many more chief executives choosing to make that Ali-like commitment. And I think more will follow.
      Opportunity, Keeping pace with customers’ digital habits, MIT Technology Review
      • Kanarick is ultimately optimistic about the future, arguing that many companies are steadfast in their commitment to adapting to the evolving digital landscape and keeping pace with customers’ digital habits.
      • “If you just simply look at the past year and a half and the rate of change, and frankly in many cases, against seemingly insurmountable odds, the amount of prosperity and reinvention we were able to generate is staggering.”
            Opportunity, Increase the depth with which companies understand the consumer, MIT Technology Review
            • It took 10 years for e-commerce sales in the U.S. to get to low double digits. And it took the period of the pandemic for that percentage of sales to double. Telehealth visits prior to the pandemic were 4% or 5% of all visits to a doctor’s office, they are 40% or 50% now. And so you've seen some massive changes. 
            • What you’re seeing is an acceleration to building the business around the specific needs of the customer [and] of the consumer. So, a big area where we’re helping clients to focus is really increasing the depth to which they understand the consumer.

              Opportunity, The tectonic industry shifts brought on by the pandemic, MIT Technology Review
              • Quoting Vladimir Lenin, Bill Kanarick describes the tectonic industry shifts brought on by the pandemic: “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
