26. “The Status of Postal Services 3.0” based on Capgemini’s second innovation study:
Postal Service is transforming, but so far in a probing & learning phase
Key learning's from our studies
Going Digital including mobile “everywhere in the postal world”,
Intensity and focus (reason WHY is different ) still quiet different
More happening than customer/sales knows & understand
The MAKE culture still dominates instead of Ecosystems/Platforms
Missing link between initiatives internal and external
some Fashonitas, no Digiraties
The strategic vision and positioning of the transformation is weak
