Conversation = The Experience Economy
The economy has slowed in major markets, making organic growth harder to achieve. The battle with existing competitors is even more intense. Emerging market competitors are fighting on price and functionality while new entrants are coming out of the woodworks as barriers to entry in your brands’ categories lower.
To make matters more challenging, your traditional marketing tactics are less effective. Consumers trust and are heavily influenced by peers, friends and even strangers online. Consumers are rapidly switching away from the channels you’ve honed for years, and every available channel has gotten a lot noisier. Not to mention, the rapid adoption and growing confidence with digital tools such as mobile devices and social technologies have changed expectations in consumers’ minds – they now expect engagement and service in real-time.
Internally, your employees are also changing. Your newest employees demand a flatter and more open environment. And their expectations aren’t significantly different than that of consumers – they expect collaboration in real-time with few, if any, barriers to information and resources.
To compete in this experience economy, the way to beat competitors and achieve growth is by investing in long-term relationships with your consumers through consistent engagement in the places where they are, not where you necessarily want them to be. To win in the Experience Economy, you must become an Engaged Enterprise.

The Journey to an Engaged Enterprise
• Empowered team with a proven leader
• Focusing the channels, clear purpose and strategy.
• Listening yields implications, but crisis causes confusion
• Focused effort on training and education
• Baseline framework for metrics
• Tools consolidation• Initial executive
engagement
Operationalized
Stage 3
• Mavericks break through, but still no formal teams in place
• Lots of dabbling in social channels
• Monitoring conversations in silos
• Uneven distribution of competency in social
• Silo’d metrics measuring silo’d activities
• Fractured tools, but proliferating
• Barely on executive radar
Dabbling In Silos
Stage 2
• Functions are silo’d and disconnected
• Marketing only through traditional channels
• Ambivalent to online conversations about the brand
• Little knowledge and no competency around social
• Traditional measures of success (SAT, Impressions, etc.)
• Social not on executive radar
Traditional
Stage 1• Central team still
exists, but more work pushed to Business Units
• Channels yielding impactful results
• Listening yields action (internal and external)
• Employees engaged, confident and competent
• Rigor in dashboards is moving executive numbers
• Systems and tools are optimized
• Execs are bought in and support implementations
Real Results

Assessment: Company is currently in Stage 2. Some executive support and internal excitement, but engagement activities are fractured. No centralized team, strategy and measurement makes it tough to completely align and move forward to Stage 3.
Recommended Initiatives:• Org Design and Implementation• Employee Training and Education• Measurement Framework• Participatory Marketing Strategy

#getreal10
How do you become an Engaged Enterprise?
Define a strategy and roadmap with clear business objectives
Bridge Service is Marketing gap
Define channels for customer engagement, by task
Set audience expectations on when and how you will engage
Build a culture of operational discipline & employee empowerment
Focus on depth vs. breadth – fewer things done deeply
Focus on “engagement points” vs. “touch points”
Find, Thank and Engage your advocates – systematically
