Talking Points
Extreme Customer Centricity In A Networked World
In her keynote "Extreme Customer Centricity In A Networked World", Nancy helps organizations grasp how The New Normal' in which 'digital' has become the norm has transformed our work environment into a dense network. She explains how this has changed customer behaviour and the speed of the market, and how companies themselves need to become a network if they want to survive. But, above all, she shows how companies have to put the customer first if they want to be successful. Not just as a nice slogan, but as a rational program of drastic change, in which processes and procedures have to be rethought from scratch: a program in which 'digital' plays a key role in order to give customers what they want in a warm and human manner.

But where must they start? How can they look 30 years forward into an increasingly complex and uncertain future and translate this outlook into a workable plan for the next 3 months? How can they adopt a new mental model? Is it really all about technology? Isn't it more about changing customer behaviour? Why should everything be fast, fun and easy? And why is data the new oil and AI a blessing?
The answer is clear. To keep evolving, you have to abandon traditional linear ways of thinking. You have to let the world inspire you. You must look beyond just' the technology. You must zoom in on the needs of your customers and put them first. Above all, you have to focus on the possibilities out there and keep experimenting.

Nothing is more important to us than our health, and it will be the healthcare sector that is going to be redefined completely by technology. The whole of humanity will be affected.Healthcare in The Day After Tomorrow Patient Centricity is THE Leading Game
Digital has become the New Normal. Mobile has become the New Normal. So have Big & Small Data, Artificial Intelligence and Networks. This keynote speech thoroughly demonstrates how these technological factors have largely affected human behaviour. Healthcare will be driven much more by consumers than physicians as the patient is taking control of his own health and his own treatment.

We can learn from disrupters, as they put the customer in the centre of everything they do. Patient centricity will be THE leading game. A new mindset is key to survive, healthcare companies will need to rethink their strategy, but also adopt value-driven behaviour embedded in a new type of culture and accompanied by a new type of management structure. This presentation not only focuses on the required strategic shifts, but also provides very practical things you can start doing as of tomorrow.
Using thought provoking images, short videos and a great sense of humour, this fast-paced keynote speech will appeal to anyone working in a healthcare related company!
