2. The story so far
London, Melbourne, London…
Curiosity
Frame great questions
Transformation
Collaboration
3. You have …
INNOVATION
AND JAMS
An active innovation
program, teams that create
a strong pipeline of ideas,
regular jams that result in
prototypes that excite….
CUSTOMER
LABS
A customer centric aim,
a customer design lab –
expensive, sexy, a place
where the cool people
hang… A place starting to
develop ideas, and where
occasionally despite
process you actually bring
customers…
DIGITAL
STRATEGY
You use the word omni-
channel a lot – and aim for
cross device functionality –
you are starting to create
experiences that work well
across some channels…
MARKETING
Your marketing team is
evolving, they produce and
query data, they manage
your social networking,
they provide data about
customers…

Beyond bias, real customers in context
using your products securely. An
understanding not just of devices but of
the interplay between devices.
DIFFERENT
Allow a feed of curiosity from the
business. It is cheap enough to test ideas
regularly. It fits on the back of a truck and
acts like a social trigger..
16. Our top priorities
Listen, learn and measure from day one
Using real customers, real contexts creates real answers
Be human, empathetic and brave
Create a challenge pile of questions
Build value exchanges
Questions democratise data and generate ideas
I’M interested in how things work – the THRESHOLDS –
I hear what about mobile – what about tablet – but what is really fascinating – is the threshold between experiences
Iinet
If you crea
the integration of experiences – beyond product –
The other day I was working with a large Aussie corporate – and we came up with some wonderful ways to improe an experience – but the ownership of the ideas is a problem.
What happens if you tell
I would like to make some reasonable assumptions about the environment you work in…
Great teams, you sponsor innovation competitions, you are on social media, you have ‘excutive buy in – MOSTLY
But somehow things move a bank like pace – somehow pace change, place change, those pesky start ups are just beating you no matter how much you want to be like them.
It’s like those friends at parties – you want to be them, you buy the dress, you drink the drink – but there’s that ‘essence’ that’s just not there – you’re still you
STRUCTURES OF BANKS PREVENT INNOVATION – IT’S MY IDEA… .
Things still move slowly – and much of this innovation is bets not facts.
Things grind to a halt at BAU
COURAGE – PIPELINES
What is the customer doing & how can a bank respond with confidence?
Analytics and research inform the business about ways to respond to unmet customer needs
ACTION VS VANITY
Perfect closed loop networsk
So much investment, so many great teams, so much creativity, but are the ideas actually making it through the walls..
Do you have a pipeline of innovations that get trapped at testing/BAU, as an innovator do you find that things stop once things get serious – as BAU, do you wonder why people don’t understand your world..
Your innovation team produces ideas, your CX team does work – they test, they try to bring in customers and justify budgets that cost a lot up front – you try to get $50 k to evaluate a concept that cost $100 k to come up with.
You try things out – but you are forced to test with family and friends and with internal staff – and you get what Alex Pentland discusses as closed loop networks – the same ideas circulate – you try to build nutmeg – meniga – and the paradigms don’t shift –
WE agree that problems are complex, wicked even –
So to the market that solves real business problems differently?
HELP WIN OVER THE BUSINESS PREVENTION TEAM – BECAUSE YOU CAN’T ARGUE WITH EXPERIENCE DATA
get data to validate ideas
evaluate early concepts at scale
scale rapidly for speed to market
What if it was about theatre – what Pentfold cals the random collison of ideas – what about if it’s ending lcosed loop networks.
Messier than this
IMAGINING THE IMPOSSIBLE – BUT THAT IS UNCOMFORTABLE
In any product and service innovation process there is a need for ongoing insights about customers, behaviour, products and services. Innovation in context can be expensive, requiring recruitment, specialist equipment and staffing but that can be expensive and complex. How do we evaluate whether our assumptions about the expected value and experience of a proposed product or service will be realised in practice?
The mobile lab supports the customer centric design process with an agile customer research solution that encourages collaboration internally helping to:
Deliver robust ideas to market faster though early evaluation
Identify and solve deep problems for customers.
Gain data early ensuring innovation is driven by knowledge as well as ideation
Uncover insights and opportunities rapidly and cheaply .
Generate curiosity amongst stakeholders and customers
Understand and discard non-viable concepts early.
How do we keep agile..
DOING NOT THINKING DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY!!!!!
Often products and services are designed from an organizational perspective. The motivation for decisions that impact how a customer will experience a product are often driven from organizational perspectives including process redesign, technology transformation, revenue targets.
The mobile lab uses design research to allow customer insights to emerge within a defined service context. It is specifically undertaken to support the strategic design and development of products and services in context.
NETWORK S – HOW DO YOU CREATE SYSTEMS THAT GENERATE INNOVATION
HOW DO YOU CONNECT PEOPLE –
HOW DO YOU CONNECT STRATEGY, QUESTIONS -
CONNECTORS
“How do we gain customer data on a product that hasn’t yet been built to more accurately develop business cases?”
“What is the economic model for a self-serve advice model?
How will customers engage with online banking services instore?
Will customers explore the new self-service options willingly - how can we help it feel more engaging? “
CONNECTORS – WHERE DO CONNECTORS CONNECT – IN CONTEXTS –
SOCIAL PHYSICS – IF YOU TALK TO EVERYONE YOU INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
SPEED TO MARKET
What if you could…What happens in a lab – what happens when you simulate not
Modeled around the pop-up store concept, the Lab is designed to deliver agility to customer research capability. You cost effectively obtain customer data in real contexts (shopping centres, branches, pop-up shops) as you iterate innovation projects.
It enables brands to evaluate how they attract, engage, provide service and inform customers, by simulating not just one device but an interaction ecosystem between multiple devices in context.
The lab enables rapid prototyping and simlation through plug and play touch screens and tablets that collect data from all interactions. All interactions are secured through an html layer, set up in 24 hours in a location of your choice.
.....flexible in context, designed for iteration, the lab layout and content can be changed based on feedback. For example an ATM gamification zone & self service can represent concierge services the next.
A flexible and adaptible delivery system, possibility of multiple configurations, state of the art technology and data capability, dress and prop all parts to suit location or client. Track lighting can be hung – can create larger more commercial areas.
24 hours – fits in a shipping container.
Data fast
The random collision of ideas and pratices and behaviours – thinking and doing in new ways.
“How do I max- aimise the organi- sational benefits of data, and investment in data strategy? ”
What is the Retail Evolution Lab 2? Capco is partnering AOPen to build the lab – partnering the best of financial services with the bsest of technology and data
WHAT IF RETAIL SHOPPING IS ABOUT CONNECTIONS – WHAT IF IT’S NOT ABOUT INFORMATION OR PRODUCTS, BUT ABOUT CURATION OF RELATIONSHIPS
What If we also used the best of technology.
The Lab is a major initiative of Aopen, one of the world’s leading providers of digital media technology.
It looks and feels like a retail store and café. Its main purpose is to demonstrate to clients how digital
technology can be harnessed in the physical space. Retailers and shopping centre owners can experience
first hand how the concept of “the connected store” will improve the customer experience.
Venue operators of restaurants, bars, cafes, clubs and pubs can touch and feel the technologies that are
being rapidly adopted by the emerging “omni-customer”.
The Retail Evolution Lab has brought together Aopen’s digital media technology and the retail and
hospitality design capability of the RED DESIGN GROUP, one of Australia’s foremost design practices.
The Lab also hosts key strategic partnerships with firms such as Intel, Blocks Global, IE and Ordermate,
all of which have contributed to the development of the Retail Evolution Lab.
