  30. THEN NOW Innovator’s dilemma: Disruption of value by offering industry-standard “good enough” alternatives Long-tail economics: Creation of value by giving customers exactly what they want

  31. Users, Interactions, Data Profile in the cloud, owned, transparent and controlled by the user, with solid privacy Really get to know the customer from all our (and others’) interactions; Capture “profile in the cloud” Analytics of personalization Experiences Goal: Enhance the experience and interactions through personalization
