Yes that's the headline for sure! There is no denying that digitization and technology are massive differentiators, but if we can take a step back then we can capture the entire story. Most of these technologies like big data, blockchain, distributed ledger etc and their use cases are great enablers, but the real change is being driven by 3 factors with the customers at the core- Demographics, Behavior and Availability. The consumer is getting younger or at least young at heart, persona's of technology users is getting wider, is looking at using services aggregator rather than individual solutions and is also getting busier by the day.
