Therefore they should start investing in hiring the right talent that will lead them to the implementation of the best suitable for their needs technologies in order to automate and optimise their operations.
Visualization
We have now gone past the era where consumers would read long texts in order to understand what our products and services are about and we have moved to the era where visuals are taking over. Try to find new ways to promote your business or your services and products by visualising procedures, operations, benefits etc. Keep in mind that everything is turning digital and that you have limited time to get a message through and even less time in order to draw someones attention. Visualization will play a massive role in the future of your business and the ones that master it will head to success faster than anyone else. Just remember that nice visuals will do the job for now but the message you want to pass through has to have depth if you are looking to get impact in the long term.

Marketing has come from generic to segmented and targeted and now it is turning to personalized. We are moving from a period of pervasive approach to a period of permissive approach. This means that customers will have to give companies the permission to interact with them and before that happens companies should start providing taylor made solutions to them in order to gain their trust and keeping in touch with them. Personalised services, operations, customer experiences and marketing are the trend of this decade and it will gain much more fans as times goes by, so try to take advantage of it now.
