    • bio_full<p>It’s hard to think of a more perfect illustration of the recent transformation in retail brand thinking than this revelation by Nic Vu, GM and SVP for Direct-to-Consumer North America, to BPI:</p> <p>“Three years ago, if somebody came to our stores and tied up one of our sales associates for 60 minutes without buying, I might be concerned, to be honest,” he says. “Today, I'm <em>hoping</em> the consumer walks into our store and spends 60 minutes with the salesperson, even if they don’t purchase a thing – in fact, I’m actually incentivizing my team to spend that time to help customers build that relationship with our brand.”</p> <p>This stunningly clear insight illustrates what customer-centricity really means in today’s data-enabled, hyper-competitive brand environment – and it comes from one of the premier performers in the global retail landscape.</p> <p>Going beyond the extraordinary fact that the sporting goods industry is growing faster even than consumer electronics, net sales for Adidas Group North America grew an astonishing 24% in 2016.</p> <p>Vu says: “The growth stems from a combination of things, but certainly I would attribute much of it to our global and our regional North American thinking around innovation, bringing new products faster, fresher, and more frequently, and then making our consumers part of the journey.”</p> <p>And where other brands might speak of leveraging social media “feedback” from consumers, Adidas Group literally welcomes ordinary people – you or me, off the street – to physically walk in to their “Brooklyn Farm” ideation warehouse to directly share their innovative ideas with design staff.</p> <p>Vu says much of the local growth stems from scaling innovation throughout the global Adidas Group – which has outperformed competitors since its recent return to its original sports focus – and from open source engagement with consumers in the U.S. market, driven by North America CEO Mark King.</p> <p>Vu is responsible for Direct to Consumer responsibilities for the U.S. and Canada, with functional areas like merchandising and marketing, and covering the core Adidas and Reebok brands, as well as NBA, NHL, MLS, Mitchell & Ness, Retail Event Operations, and CrossFit Games Retail. </p>

    • summary_bio<p>Nic Vu, GM and SVP for Direct-to-Consumer for Adidas North America, discusses how building relationships is today's number one sales strategy. Through this game changer interview, he discusses what customer-centricity really means in today’s data-enabled, hyper-competitive brand environment, from the perspective of one of the premier performers in the global retail landscape.</p>
    • answer_1It's global change: our entire company worldwide, as well as the North American team. We specifically set out three major strategies, which include speed, cities, and open sourcing, and it really has changed the behavior and frankly the entire game in which we play. Before, we would create products and push them out and try to sell to customers, in the traditional model. But as we started to open source and invite our consumers to help us within our journey in a new innovative way, which has created a shift in the ecosystem that has been applied throughout the entire organization.<br /><br />We're obviously very well known for Kanye West, and co-creating products with his fashion, style and expertise. By leveraging our globally recognized brand and expertise with his product and personal brand, we are going to market with a tailored product that leverages the best of both sides.  We strategically made a choice that we would co-create with our key partners to deliver the best products to their consumers, and we are now leveraging that open source strategy with a variety of different key partners.<br /><br />We have opened up a product creation design house in Brooklyn called the Brooklyn Farm. We put our best designers there, and we are allowing customers – anybody who has a creative thought, anybody who wants to work with our brand – to walk in off the street and help us design products, give us new ideas; fresh thinking. We created an ecosystem internally with internal websites that allowed people to generate ideas, and their peers can vote it on their ideas. And that ultimately has driven thousands of ideas, including the very successful Avenue A initiative.<br /><br />With Avenue A, I have to give credit to Mark King, my boss, who's the CEO of North America. He is well known as a major innovator in the golf industry, and he has subsequently initiated and built this relentless innovation culture for Adidas North America in the past three years. In year one, we were all raising awareness, educating people on the process around innovation. In year two, we started to cultivate this ecosystem of openness. And now that we're in year three, you're seeing the net results organizationally, both within the North American marketplace but also on a global organizational level. At the same time, we launched the Innovation Academy, wherein we created an environment in which people can learn, get an education; effectively get an MBA in innovation.<br /><br />As the GM of Direct-to-Consumer for North America, I spend half of my time understanding consumer sentiment and listening to the ideas they have, and the other half of my time around merchandising and product.<br /><br />What's unique about Adidas Group is that we were born in sport, and we're sporting goods athletic apparel and footwear company. We can basically be an athlete’s entire wardrobe, on-court and on-pitch, or as soon as they get off: we're there to support them through their own style and fashion as well. And we're a brand that wants to co-create.
    • answer_2People need to be educated and aware that they have the ability to contribute within their own organization, and to try new things. You can't create an ecosystem organizationally that shuts that down. You need to allow votes on people’s ideas by their peers, not by their supervisors – so, their confidantes, if you will. And employees need to know that it is safe to fail, and they need to fail fast and frequently. Unfortunately, I would say the majority of organizations still penalize mistakes, despite the knowledge that innovation requires an ability to fail. <br /><br />Really, the impediment that I see within the industry is that, too often, people feel they have to have a 100% plan, ready-to-go, and that it has to be successful. Today, we have an innovation board within every single one of our brick-and-mortar stores and we invite not only our consumers to put ideas on there but we invite our own team members, our internal consumers, to give us ideas, and those ideas then are surfaced all the way up the "chain of command." Then, ultimately we create games that feature competition and collaborations, and then all of a sudden people feel like, "Wow. I'm a one-week-old employee internal to Adidas, and I submitted my idea and two months later, the top guy in the organization is reviewing my ideas! How cool is that?"
    • answer_3What I would say is we have to create a incentivized change-management process to induce innovation. I think you can't introduce innovation as a top-down mandate or even execute it in that form. I  think you have to win hearts and minds within the organization, and you have to start by developing a budget or resources that are dedicated to it.    <br /><br /> So our newsletter four or five years ago was driven by functional heads and it was kind of like this laborious mandate from the top – me, in this case – where every function gave and updated them, and we’d we post a static document and that would go out to the organization. We thought that was communication. Today, in contrast, the employees within each function, regardless of level, drive what content they want to express to the organization. And it's this living, breathing document that goes out every week now.
    • answer_4<p>Mobile technology will remain key – almost every consumer today has some level of smartphone in their hand, and the information that they can get via Google or other search engines is so quick and so fast that brands like us, Adidas Group, will need to make sure that we are there to help cultivate that experience for the consumer and answer those questions, or even anticipate those questions. So I would say mobile technology and all the apps that can be developed to connect the consumer's experience, is really the key in the future.</p> <p>We already have virtual reality in our stores today, which help educate and create a great experience for our consumers. So when we opened up our world flagship on Fifth Avenue, we had virtual reality in there wherein NBA superstar James Harden in a VR space was giving them – the consumers – the experience of a lifetime, because it felt like you were actually speaking with James Harden.</p> <p>Meanwhile, we’re leveraging technologies from 3D printing to AI, and I think the key is to make sure that our digital and social ecosystem remains connected for the end-user experience. We're starting to implement local market manufacturing wherein we can bring speed of product-to-market faster. And we're talking months and weeks, we're not talking years and months.</p>
    • answer_5<p>My personal favorites include Tesla and also Faraday Future, that just came out with an innovation where you can basically sit in the car, and it will self-drive, self-park, and you can talk on your social platforms. And ultimately what I learned from the car industry – in this case, electric car companies – is that they're chasing the very same thing we are: a connected experience for the consumer in which they can interact with your brand, any which way they like, and for us to be prepared to be able to interact with them any which way they like: digital communities, hubs, and apps.</p>

        • summaryThis initiative aims to explore the forces, factors, challenges and requirements driving the need for improved data logistics in today’s multi-cloud world.
        • description<p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p>The Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network, in partnership with DBM Cloud Systems and the CMO Council, is undertaking research into the forces, factors, challenges and requirements driving the need for improved data logistics in today’s multi-cloud world. Global enterprises are seeking to integrate vast repositories of data across multiple public and private clouds and on-premise systems to extract more value, use and return on these assets. In particular, this relates to decision-support analytics, product and service delivery, customer intelligence and personalized engagement, operational improvement, business compliance, and continuity.</p> <p>While multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments provide major advantages, they also increase the complexity of managing, translating, processing and moving data. Chief Data Officers, infrastructure IT executives and others in the enterprise are now seeking new and innovative ways to gain greater control, visibility, performance and efficiency in the way they manage data to optimize its value.</p> <p>The program will engage data and IT executives from major companies, as well as leading system integrators, consulting firms and solution providers to understand needs, requirements and best practices in optimizing data economics, protection and logistics in today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The growing importance of the Chief Data Officer underscores widespread recognition of the essential role and value of data and analytics in the modern, agile customer-centric enterprise. This is further compounded by the significant cost, challenge and complexity of unifying, migrating, replicating, protecting, storing and governing data “ponds, lakes and dams” in today’s multi-cloud and hybrid cloud computing environments.</p> <p>Data has become one of the chief engines of value creation. Its role in improving analytical decision making, enhancing our ability to understand, reach and engage customers, and increasing the value of both existing and new products and services has made data a highly valued currency and asset base for enterprises operating digitally across data borders, ramparts and fences.</p> <p>Fueled by an explosive proliferation of new data sources—from mobile computing, social media and rich media applications and services, to the advent of the Internet of Things, which will generate some 50 million connected sensors by the end of 2020—the amount and variety of data being stored is growing exponentially.  According Seagate Technology, the amount of data generated worldwide will increase to 163 zettabytes by 2025 from 12 zettabytes in 2015.</p> <p>In today’s multi-cloud, mega-data world, better Data Logistics and Performance Management (DLPM) has become essential to competing in the Data Economy. According to 451 Research, some 80 percent of companies are now utilizing two or more clouds. Three-quarters of companies say they are pursuing a hybrid/multi-cloud strategy.</p> <p>In this highly distributed compute environment, the requirements to understand where data resides across multiple public clouds and on-premise systems and cost-effectively store, protect and move data to its optimal location becomes critical. With the coming rise of edge computing and micro-data centers designed to bring data and applications closer to users to reduce latency and thereby improve application and workload performance, data management and logistics become even more complex. The edge is creating even more data, with increased data volumes having to be transmitted across networks and between clouds.</p> <p>Object-based data storage is now the dominant storage architecture globally, particularly in the cloud, and will be used to store 85 percent of the world’s data by 2025. Developed initially to handle the explosive growth of unstructured data, such as video, images, web pages, log files and IoT data, object storage saves data along with associated metadata in blocks as objects that can contain multiple information formats.</p> <p>It has a variety of advantages over file and block storage, including massive scalability, greater flexibility via metadata for analytics, better governance, faster retrieval, and improved cost efficiencies. In addition, continued technical advances are improving both the performance and the applicability of object storage for new use cases. A major challenge, however, is that the object-based storage systems used my various cloud providers are all different, making data synchronization and translation a challenge.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Data Logistics Mandate</strong></p> <p>In this new world, Chief Data Officers and CIOs must optimize how they manage vast volumes of data across multiple clouds and data environments through better data logistics. There are more data silos, greater distribution of data, vast increases in volume, and a growing demand to understand, protect and exploit data for business growth and optimization while holding down costs.</p> <p>Among those logistical challenges are the need to keep track of where data resides, and cost-effectively synchronize, replicate and move data to optimize value, efficiency, security and governance based on cost differences, processing and analytics capabilities, performance advantages, and regulatory requirements.</p> <p>Organizations need to be able to be able to identify what data needs to be replicated and effectively transmitted and synchronized across different clouds and on-premise locations to improve the availability, security and value of data.</p> <p>For example, organizations increasingly need to move data to specific service providers to conduct analytics or take advantage of specific vendor technologies, lower processing and storage costs, or meet geographic requirements.

        • description<p>Improving the accuracy, value and efficiency of financial planning, forecasting and budgeting should be an important goal for any organization.  Research shows companies that are adept in these processes outperform their competition. Yet financial processes and systems frequently lack the agility and responsiveness to keep pace with changing business needs and developments.  Budgeting is often excessively time-consuming and arduous, while the final product is typically out-of-date on arrival.  Financial planning processes should, but often do not, motivate and drive organizational performance. There is a real need for greater timeliness and frequency in budgeting and forecasting with new systems and processes that can improve planning flexibility, speed, and accuracy.
