McKinsey: A CEO’s Guide To The Metaverse
Brian Solis
January 30, 2023
Suddenly, the metaverse is in the zeitgeist, for better or worse. Investment more than doubled in 2022 powered by big moves (such as Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, now under antitrust review) and small ones (about $12 billion to $14 billion of venture capital and private equity investment). Everyone has heard about the successes racked up by some big gaming companies: Roblox reported more than 58 million daily active users in 2022,1 while Fortnite had more than 20 million in 2020 and generated more than $9 billion in sales between 2018 and 2019.2 And others are investing; Meta continues to spend at least $10 billion annually on metaverse development. Yet investors are asking questions of metaverse companies about when they can expect tangible, near-term results from these companies’ investments.

Are Hotels Ready For Generation Novel? How The Rise Of Generation-Novel Or Gen-N Could Transform The Future Of Guest Service
BRIAN SOLIS
January 12, 2023
The problem with defining guest service in any singular way is that we often treat guest service as a department or a response rather than an ever-evolving set of values that should exist at the very heart of a company. We consider guest service, much like other aspects of a company, to be a simple, 9-to-5 initiative supported by an employee or a team laid out across various guest-centric policies and values. But great guest service in the modern era, we realize, isn’t actually guest service – it’s guest care. It is not a policy or set of procedures; instead, it’s an ongoing, hands-on practice and culture brought to life with every guest touch-point, both online and offline. In this way, guest service isn’t just a department or a cost to be managed – it’s the entire company. Anything less will fail to support the guest demands that dictate the landscape in which we do business both now and in the future

Brian Solis
November 22, 2022
Brian Solis explores the need for human-centered experiences and aims to help executives shift mindsets toward the future.
While everyone talks about Customer Experience (CX) as the new black, most companies miss the real opportunity to be customer-centric. They don’t actually think about experiences from the perspective of the people they want to reach. Customers are evolving. Business processes and mindsets are not keeping up. As a result, they’re limited in the ability to design experiences that matter to an increasingly evolving generation of connected customers.
In this presentation at NextCon in Phoenix, Brian Solis explores the need for human-centered experiences and aims to help executives shift mindsets toward the future.

Rethinking Retail in the Interim Normal to Excel in the Next Normal
CSA
July 27, 2020
This isn’t the new normal, it’s the interim normal according to leading digital anthropologist and best-selling author Brian Solis. With the pandemic expected to last for at least 12-18 months until a vaccine, herd immunity, or widely available treatments are available, customer behaviors in the physical and digital worlds will continue to radically shift and evolve.
The very concept of retail was already disrupted by digital and then again by digital D2C natives. But now in times of pandemic disruption, retailers have a rare opportunity to rethink how retail and innovation will intersect during this uncertain time and in the future.
In this thought-provoking session, Brian will share his research on consumer evolution and how to reimagine the future by iterating and innovating during this interim normal. Key takeaways include:
The evolution of Generation-C (Connected) in times of #COVID-19 and what evolving customer behaviors tell us about the future.
What it means to be a digital and health company moving forward and why it’s a competitive differentiator for retailers.
The importance of automation and cognitive automation to optimize transformation and become disruption and future proof.
We hope you will join us for this important event.

Salesforce Live for Retail & Consumer Goods
Salesforce
July 15, 2020
Consumers faced empty shelves, long lines and thus turned to digital buying solutions, resulting in a shift of consumer behaviour to a new norm. As retail and consumer good companies reel in the chaos, existing roadmaps need to be reset. Those who invested early in technology were well established to take advantage of the rise in digital, but even they would recognise there is more opportunity to win over the customer. Brian Solis will share what retailers and consumer goods companies learned from this pandemic and for those caught short how they will need to respond in the novel economy guided by four key principles:
- personalised omnichannel shopping/brand experiences and direct-to-consumer options
- increased investment in e-commerce beyond bolting on new platforms/channels
- increased safety for store associates, key account managers, sales reps, warehouse workers, and delivery drivers
- improved supply chain visibility, flexibility and demand sensing throughout the value chain

Designing For Digital-First Customers: Focus On Experience As A Driver For Breakthrough Innovation
BRIAN SOLIS
August 19, 2020
Designing for the accidental narcissist: Focus on experience is driver for Gen-C (and now Generation-N) innovation.
Experience is what counts. An incoming wave of connected consumers — known as Generation C — are not bound by traditional demographics. Instead they share behaviors, interests and expectations driven by the digital era. Accustomed to instant gratification, they expect everything to be tailored to their needs and delivered now. Delay them or displease them, and they move on without a backwards glance.
“What companies need to get is that the customers change,” said Brian Solis (pictured), digital analyst, anthropologist, futurist, best-selling author, and international keynote speaker @Brian Solis. “Once you get something your way fast … you take that mindset subconsciously to everything you do.”
Solis spoke with spoke with Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Comcast CX Innovation Day event in Sunnyvale, California. They discussed changing customer expectations and the increasing importance of experience to the design process.

Brian Solis on Lifescale – How to Live a More Creative, Productive and Happy Life Plus Improve Your Marketing
TopRank Marketing
March 07, 2019
Brian Solis is an award-winning author of 8 books and an internationally known keynote speaker. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Brian for many years and he has consistently been one of the most thoughtful, inspiring and intelligent people I know.
Not long ago Brian and I had a chance to catch up and he shared with me the news of his new book Lifescale – How to live a more creative, productive and happy life. That’s a pretty compelling title and being up to my neck in digital distractions, multi-tasking and a need to break free out of that chaos, the notion of Lifescale was immediately interesting to me both personally and as a way to better empathize with customers as a marketer.
Not only did I pre-order the book (it came yesterday) I had a chance to talk with Brian and record a video interview about the premise of the book, the problems it can help people solve, lessons for marketers and a fun game of word association.

Shortly before the onset of COVID-19 and my joining Salesforce as the Global Innovation Evangelist, I flew to London to participate in an expert panel on software defined networking (SDN) and the future of digital transformation. While digital transformation itself has been disrupted in the time since, SDN, like many enabling and mission-critical technologies are more important now than ever.
I recently stumbled across unpublished material that I wanted to share with you here.

Episode 10: Mihir Shukla, Seth Cohen, Stephen Ezell
Intersections Podcast
November 05, 2020
Today we continued our theme of innovators who have shifted our perspectives so that we can see things in a new way. Mihir Shukra introduced us to the notion that automation through AI was not only going to be everywhere, but that it would be increasingly democratized. We would feel its influence in a variety of B2C applications and the technology itself would become more accessible to us and not remain in the province of highly specialized engineers. Then Seth Cohen talked about the importance of bringing optimism into our lives, not as a mood or exhortation, but as a conscious practice. For him, it is our optimism that shapes our sense of possibility and enables us to align around common objectives in this era of the “missing middle.” Finally, Stephen Ezell from the Information Technology Innovation Foundation (ITIF) reflected on the need to expand our definition of innovation to include the innovation agenda of countries. This has implications for understanding the policy levers and stewardship models that enable robust national innovation strategies. It is an urgent priority in the United States, which would benefit from a refreshed national innovation agenda.

Geeta Nayyar, executive director for health and life sciences at Salesforce, reflected on how health care was being transformed by new collaborative and data sharing technologies whose development was being accelerated by the pandemic. New technologies offer the possibility of qualitative change in how doctors and patients interact – transforming the event of a periodic office checkup into a constant flow of information enabled by sensors and monitors of all kinds that enable continuous fine-tuning of diagnosis and treatment based on the most current information.

Get Ready for the Novel Economy, Virtual Keynote
DigitalK
June 04, 2020
THE EVENT When we thought of this year's teaser campaign for DIGITALK titled "What's Next", we couldn't have imagined how enormous and important this question will become in a fortnight.
"What's Next" is possibly also one of the most difficult questions at the moment. However, the DIGITALK team will spend the next months examining how businesses and societies change so that the conference reemerges even more useful and relevant.
We will keep talking with you, listening to your needs and trying to understand the challenges you face in your daily life and business.
In the meantime as a part of our efforts to serve the DigitalK community we are extremely happy to announce that Brain Solis will take the online stage for you in an exclusive talk.
Some of you already know Brian from DigitalK two years ago. Since then he has reconfirmed his role as a world-renowned digital analyst, anthropologist and futurist.
Novel means new and unusual and that accurately describes these times. In a business sense, Novel represents a new strain of market conditions that are not fully identified or understood. Thus, we have no pre-existing defenses or experience against this level of astonishing disruption.
In his talk, Brian will help us not only to understand and weather the storm but to navigate and fit in the new economy.

Retail Innovation in the #NovelEconomy
RetailX
June 04, 2020
We are living in a #NovelEconomy in a literal sense. Novel means “new” and “unusual,” which is why it’s often attached to these unique strands of outbreaks. The reality is that retail employees, customers, people, will emerge differently from this experience. Our behaviors are changing now. This is a time to listen and to add value in ways that sow relationships at a human level. If you could look back to these times from the future, where is it that you wish you would have focused? This is a question to answer right now. This is a time when markets need great empathy and leadership. Not every industry and not every company is going to come out on the other side of this healthy or successful. It’s unfortunately reality. But you have choice. You can cut innovation programs to save money, pause critical sales, marketing and CX investments, let go of supporting staff, and batten down the hatches. Or, you can make bold investments in innovation that set the stage for growth. Surviving is in of itself an achievement, but difficult times have a way of resetting the landscape.
The truth is that we’re not going back to the normal we once knew. Coming out of this, there will be a new normal. The status quo will be, by design, behind the times. Their efforts will emphasize recovery rather than growth. The innovators will be those who challenge even new conventions to trailblaze forward. The future will be shaped by how companies choose to shape markets and serve customers and employees in these times. This is the time to create the new leadership playbook moving forward.

Over the last 20 years, digital-native companies — like Amazon, Netflix, Stitch Fix and Carvana, have transformed how people consume — from movies and television shows delivered digitally, to physical products at your doorstep in a matter of hours. While these companies have clearly set a new bar for convenience and consumer experience, they have also opened the door to new types of growth opportunities and business models. For Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Retail companies looking to capitalize on these opportunities, digital transformation is no longer optional; it is a prerequisite.
That is why award-winning author and global keynote speaker, digital analyst, anthropologist and futurist Brian Solis, is joining CGT and Aera Technology in an upcoming webinar, to explore the growth opportunities and business models CPG and retail companies are unlocking through digital transformation.

This is not the new normal or the next normal: that’s for everyone else

We talk about the ‘new normal’ or the ‘next normal’, but for world-renowned digital anthropologist and author Brian Solis, ‘normal’ was part of the problem. In this powerful talk, he explains how the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation for the better and paved the way for disruptive innovation with technologies like 5G. Now more than ever, we need new ideas, partnerships and mindsets that unlock creativity and imagination to deliver sophisticated new experiences for business customers and consumers.

How to Make Hold Times a Thing of the Past with Digital Customer Engagement
Ring Central
November 12, 2019
Losing touch with customers as they wait on hold, closing phone services overnight, and limiting digital communication channels is a service leader’s ultimate enemy. Today, customers move fluidly between businesses that best serve them, across channels that are most convenient to the customer, until their experience doesn’t meet expectations.
Join this webinar with Brian Solis, Digital Analyst as we discuss:
What are the challenges in meeting customers wherever they are online?
What does an “effortless” customer experience look like?
What is the best way to eliminate that annoying long hold time experience?
The Engagement Gap: How executives and employees think differently about employee engagement by Brian Solis and Jostle
Recruiting & HR
September 27, 2019
New survey data shows that employees and executives have different views about employee engagement and the things organizations do to improve it. This is the result of the Engagement Gap. Employee engagement programs, while well intentioned, often miss the mark. This white paper describes the Engagement Gap, and shares survey results captured by Jostle Corporation in partnership with Brian Solis. The data suggests that effective employee engagement programs focus on turning organizations into more meaningful, congenial, and transparent communities.

The Digital Culture Challenge: Closing the Employee-Leadership Gap
Capgemini
June 08, 2017
Is company culture a roadblock or a catalyst for digital transformation? Does the big moment for an organization arrive when they have embraced the fact that the prerequisite to digital transformation isn’t a technical issue, but a cultural change?
Unfortunately, it’s a pre-requisite that is beyond the grasp of many companies as they look to drive innovation and change through smart technologies and data. For most, cultural issues continue to block digital transformation and it’s a problem that’s worsening. In 2011, a majority of respondents (55%) said that culture was the number one hurdle to digital transformation1 but in our latest research, this figure has actually risen to 62%...

2020 Marketing Predictions: Shifting from Tracking Trends to Creating Possibilities
Thinkers360
December 08, 2019
I’d like to think of 2020 as we think about it with vision, 20/20, which means normal visual acuity. Marketing in 2020 will be a lot like marketing in 2019…normal (all good stuff!) We'll talk about hot new trends and integrate shiny tech into existing thinking, processes and programs, doing cool things, without really changing the game. Once someone takes a bold leap, like Aviation Gin’s “fast advertising” follow ad that capitalized on Peloton’s marketing debacle, everyone will see a new light to then follow (and copy) and add a new page to the marketing playbook. There’s more that we can do to keep adding to that playbook or even, create a new playbook in 2020.
We need growth in how we see markets and ultimately how we see people to move forward in new and meaningful ways. For example, data needs organization and massive cleaning to get a clear view, a single truth about our customer. This sets up AI and machine learning to help us identify useful patterns of customer behaviors to then set the stage for personalization (and humanization) in engagement across the journey.
But that’s the thing when it comes to predictions…we make them from a position of what we know vs. from a place of curiosity and aspiration. It’s a matter of “here’s what I see” vs. “what if …? For example, what if I explored these new technologies and new opportunities with a beginner’s mind?”
What if customer experience became the catalyst for a new generation of cross-functional, orchestrated, customer-centered marketing?
What if CRM empowered marketers and CX professionals to collaborate around personalizing, unifying and adding value to the “customer’s experience” at every step?
What if we aimed AI at uncovering the patters of frustration customers experience with marketing and in their journeys to fix problems?
What if we did the same thing to identify patterns of love in the existing journey and in the journeys of other beloved brands to innovate and create new touchpoints and experiences?
What if we explored how customers feel as they go through the journey and use that to inspire content and touchpoint designs to ease their chaos or stress and deliver reprieve, validation and direction?
What if 2020 became the year we changed the game?
These are questions someone has to answer. What if it was you?
