People around the world have been told to self isolate so returned in mass to their epicentre of life and realised that staying at home is not that bad. We took for granted how comfortable it was to stay at home right? Consumers have been injected with the fear of the virus which has led them to prefer to stay at home even in phase two of this global lockdown. During and after quarantine they have been virtually connecting more than ever even when apart so this is leading to think that “Home is where I feel safe”. Going forward we will not see the lockdown extreme but consumers are changing some of their habits for sure. There will be a lot of social distancing for now and beyond, people are afraid and putting their health as their priority. Fear is injected into us, therefore a lot of industries are going to suffer over the next 18-24 months because people will have fear of travelling, eating out and staying in crowded places. - [Consumer behaviour change #3: “My health is my priority”](https://www.ileniavidili.com/always-learning/): Number three of my consumer behaviour changes after COVID series is called “My health is my priority”.

We know that customer experience is the way to differentiate companies in a highly competitive environment where products and services are nearly the same. - [Top 3 industries influenced by the digital disruption](https://www.ileniavidili.com/quote-of-the-day/): Usually, this happens when smaller and more agile companies use new technologies and business models to completely change the way an industry works, affecting the value proposition and systems of an established business. For incumbents, there is a real need to respond very quickly to these changes, taking a digital approach and looking at how technology can be used to change and improve the way a business operates. Blending both business and technology it would be an inevitable essential shift toward digitalisation. However big brands often adopt a “wait and see” response to the digital tsunami making it very difficult to catch-up when the disruption occurred. - [How much time is left for banks? The lost battle of incumbent Barclays vs agile “neobanks”](https://www.ileniavidili.com/resposive-wordpress-theme/): A few things are reshaping the banking sector to the point that banks need to make it their priority to fundamentally rethink their business model and digitally transform for better value propositions.

Today the markets are influenced by a number of variables and technology is one of the biggest indicators that influences how we research, buy and interact with brands and one another. To mention a very significant event correlated with the latter variable, it was in 2007 and more specifically the launch of the iPhone, when Amazon was mostly known as an online bookshop. This little box has completely revolutionised our buying behaviour. - [Delivering a Data Driven Customer Experience](https://www.ileniavidili.com/creative-portfolio-wordpress-theme/): Businesses and marketers use data to reach interested potential customers and convert them into new customers.

Built around three transformations — Alignment, Closing the Gap, and Your Mindset — we challenged every person in the room, regardless of role, to look honestly at the distance between what Total Gas & Power believes it delivers and what customers actually experience.

Leaders must model decisions around customer impact, employees need to see how their roles connect to the customer experience, and strategy has to be translated into habits that stay alive beyond quarterly workshops. True alignment also means making hard trade-offs: being willing to lose short-term comfort or even some customers to create long-term value, like Adobe did when it shifted to subscriptions. - [KEYNOTE SUMMARY SERVICE DAY 2025](https://www.ileniavidili.com/service-day-2025/): Per anni nel settore automobilistico si è pensato che il successo fosse tutto nella vendita: chiudere il contratto, consegnare le chiavi e passare al prossimo cliente.
