Jonathan Spector, CEO of the Conference Board, Talks About the New Customer Experience Model on the CEo Show with Robert Reiss
Jonathan Spector, CEO of The Conference Board, talks on The CEO Show with Robert Reiss about a rapidly growing new business model by which corporations will cede selected processes to the customer, the benefits of “crowdsourcing,” and experience-sharing between for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Spector discusses the use of crowdsourcing in the pharmaceutical and food product industries and also reveals how this concept was used to produce his recent book, “We Are Smarter than Me.”
Ridgefield, CT, August 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Jonathan Spector, CEO of The Conference Board, talks on The CEO Show with Robert Reiss about the benefits and implications of substantially greater customer participation in the running of companies, the use of “crowdsourcing” to add to conventional information inputs, and insights that for-profit organizations can learn from not-for-profits, and vice versa. Spector uses examples from the pharmaceutical and food products industries to illustrate using customers to shape the models for customer service and also product development.
Reiss asks how the customer-centric model was applied to the writing of Spector’s recent book, “We are Smarter than Me”, a distillation of insights that was produced with involvement and inputs from over 5,000 people -- perhaps the first book using this process.
Spector and Reiss discuss how the ceding of some traditional business functions has just begun within the past 18 to 24 months, as use of the Internet by consumers and business people has become the norm. As Spector says, “This is the ‘tipping point’ where we in business can assume customers can be gathered together in an online community.”
He goes on to predict how it will still take another 10 or more years to figure out the implications of this change – and shares insights into the profound transformation this will provoke in business over the next decade.
