What brands think their customers want has changed.. ·        Digital transformation has put a lot of power in the hands of some people (in organizations) who have no preparation or know-how on how to perform in digital roles.

This data can be used to make decisions that will lead to long-term and sustainable revenue and profits. Quote:  "Loyal customers are created by having authentic conversations with them.
