Is the bundle about to crumble?

$

By this I mean the bundle of TV networks that come in your pay TV (cable, satellite, telco) subscription. People complain that they pay for a lot of channels they never watch, and the pressure to "unbundle" them is growing so consumers can select only those they really want. This week's announcements for HBO and CBS about offering streaming services available without a pay TV subscription adds to the pressure.

 

So is this the beginning of the end of the bundle? (see my blog post The Bundle Begins To Crumble

 

Marketing Leaders: is this a good thing or a bad thing for the effectiveness of your television ads?

Personal Data Privacy and recent Russia bill

Russia passed a bill recently that will have huge impact to the IT operations of many of us. Basically it says that companies operating in Russia and who collect, receive, store or transmit (“process”) personal data of natural persons in Russia will be required to place servers in Russia if they plan to continue doing business in that market.

 

For those of you doing business in Russia, how will it affect your operating models ?

 

 

VoC Resting Rules - What are yours?

$

I’ve been asked to gather some information about how other companies handle “resting rules” in their survey processes.  Resting rules are the standards for how long a consumer will be “paused” from receiving surveys once they have received a survey invitation or completed a survey.

 

For our VoC program, American Express will not send a customer a survey invitation for 30 days after their last survey invitation, nor will we send an invitation to a customer for 60 days after they completed a survey.

 

Do any of you have resting rules, and if so, can you please share?

Anyone care to share your Cost per Survey/Interview?

We would like to benchmark our CPI (Cost per Interview/Survey).  We handle around 3M survey responses a year as part of our VoC program at Amex, and like everyone, we want to make sure we are doing so on a cost-effective basis. 


If any of you would care to share here in the community or privately (august.f.ray@aexp.com) what your CPI is for your surveying programs, I'd be happy to share ours, as well (although I've been asked not to post it.)

 

Thanks,
Augie

Re: Difference between "business capability" and "business process"?

All the above are excellent responses to defining "business capabilities" and "business processes".  For a short example as was originally asked for:

Business capability – "pay a vendor".  Non-technical, not tied to particular way of achieving the capability such as a process or an application.

Business process – (often shown in a flowchart) One process to support the capability “pay a vendor” is issuing a PO, where the requester submits a request and justification to the owner of the budget to pay the PO, and the budget owner approves it and send it to accounts payable to create the paperwork and send it to the vendor, debiting her budget.  The process may call out particular tools used, or may not.  Process descriptions have various levels as well.

How have your Microsoft Surface Pro 3 experiences been?

$

We've been offering corporate liable Microsoft Surface Pros (now version 3) for some time, with mixed experiences, as a replacement for laptops, usually for Execs and Managers only since we want to run them as 64bit Win8.1, and most of our business applications that office workers use are not compatible with 64bit yet.  However, managers, directors, VPs, and up rarely use our home-grown business 'older' apps, so tablets running 64bit are an option for these people.  People have really gravitated to the Surface Pro 3 (like they did years ago to iPad).  But we have really had a high number of failures, issues, bugs, blue screens, etc., with these units.  Some Execs have gone through several of them already, 3, 4, one person has gone through 7, so in terms of being a hardened device -- we have provided MS lots of feedback.  I’m wondering if you are experiencing the same.   

 

Rather than reply to this... please click on this poll/survey and answer 4 or 5 easy questions so we all can see how things are going in this space.  A summary of the results is also provided at the link below as well then.  - Thanks!

Product integrity, brand protection, traceability and supply chain management

$

I've worked with a number of organisations over the years on their brand and product prtoection strategies. These are typically business initiatives that IT become inevitably and intrinsically responsible for - or at the very least, become heavily involved in.

 

The key challenge is usually to ensure that the integrity of the products being produced, distributed and sold to the end consumer are not only the genuine article, but also to ensure that the overall brand is protected from social group-think or social media balckmail.

 

This is not so much about the social media response mechanisms (though it does include it) as the track and trace capabilities as a product moves from manufacture into the hands of the ultimate consumer.

 

While Forrester doesn't produce a lot of research on this particular topic, I've pulled together some material from various engagements with clients over the years.

 

Please do help to update this information with your own expereinces and shortlisted vendors and/or any experiences you've had with them. This is definitely an area where peer experiences count.

 

If you can add to this content, please feel free to contact me. If this material is useful to you, please also let me know!
