<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are fundamentally redefining customer intimacy and brand affinity, changing how we compete for customer attention, and even how we operate our businesses.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Accredent's IoT Connected AI Data-driven Customer Journeys(tm) framework is a proven approach to innovate, monetize, and transform connected data-driven experiences to increase market share, customer satisfaction and profitability.</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">IoT and AI is radically changing the nature of consumer experiences and brand marketing. Turning physical venues (retail, hotels, offices, stadiums, malls, casinos, concerts, events, hospitality, cities) into real-time engaging customer experiences. Turning products from simply physical "things" into platforms for delivering services to deliver customer experiences. For consumer goods - online experiences, retail space experiences, and post-purchase product usage experiences combine to create a two-way dialogue pre-purchase, post-purchase and back again across the entire customer journey in a way that was never before possible. Data can be collected to understand patterns of behaviors and wants and needs, and used to deliver contextual and detailed real world customer experience to those wandering the space or using the product, or rather the services delivered by the product platform.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disney Magic wristbands, Taylor Swift 1989 tour wristbands, and other early pioneering efforts proved that brilliant new physical space customer experiences can be created, and the pain points within existing experiences be removed by Internet of Things. This capability has expanded with the advent of proximity beacons and digital displays which enable hyper-local, -contextual, - personalized experiences in physical spaces not dissimilar from that offered by the best e-commerce sites and internet 2.0. Building understanding of behaviors and wants and needs, and delivering contextually detailed physical world experiences to match them.</span><br />

Products are becoming smart service platforms offering hyper-local, -contextual, -personalized services, and delivering deep insights into behaviors and preferences, and wants and needs, to learn contextual insights and deliver new interactions for better services, compelling customer experiences, frictionless customer journeys, interoperability with other product/service experiences and increase spend and loyalty.</span><br />

Difficult to get right, but important to do. Done right, the process of creating the new modern customer journey is a never ending one that always is capturing insightful data, and using that data to learn and create continuously improving customer experiences and business processes. Done wrong, the process of creating new modern customer journeys can place physical venue and product innovation into painful Sisyphus-like proof-of-concept (PoC) design and revision - a 2017 Cisco study shows about 60-70% of IoT and data projects end their lives in this kind of "PoC Hell" - and ultimately end up in the same junk pile of history that one finds Google Glass.

On November 4th, students from all across the United States met in Minneapolis to compete in MinneMUDAC’s University Data Analysis Competition. Two Accredent Principals - Jennifer Nowlin and Kent Strand - served as judges with some of the 51 graduate and undergraduate teams in an all-day competition held at United Healthcare's Optum campus.
The students were given the challenge to work with healthcare data sets and derive actionable insights from their analysis. The data sets were challenging, yet these students dug in, used their creative and analytical minds to showcase their data story to judging teams that consisted of industry & academic data experts from companies such as General Mills, Mayo Clinic, Optum, Capella, Teradata and Accredent.
Hats off to the teams, coaches, the MinneMUDAC organizers, and other judges for doing a great job! Truly excellent analysis of demanding data, professional presentations, and great actionable insights.</span><br />

<span class="ember-view" id="ember1950"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">This month's Exit Accelerator meetup at Accredent is taking place just prior the beginning of the
very popular Twin Cities Startup Week. Every year this event brings an
incredible number of presentations and informational options to chose
from. So many that entrepreneurs often find themselves challenged as to
which ones to focus on, which ones are important to their business? <br /> <br />This session, <i>Startup Week: Beginning with the End (Business Exit) in Mind</i>,
will seek to help you to find your focus. As with our previous
sessions, we will use a presentation to engage what should be a lively
and valuable discussion between those present. <br /> <br />Hope to you you on Tuesday!</span> </span><br />

<span class="ember-view" id="ember4863" style="font-size: large;"><i>Leveraging the Physical Web for Intelligent Digital Experience</i></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="ember-view" id="ember4863" style="font-size: large;">The tension between physical retail and digital retail is usually
attributed to the inherent analytical and behavioral advantages of the
digital medium. The underlying forces operating in physical retail and
digital retail are subtle and complex. Customer experience in either
medium is more important than the particular medium. Modern customers
expect a rich and contextual experience that is derived from their
interaction history. New forms of physical retail are emerging and the
space is transforming in ways that provide a differentiated customer
experience. <br /><br /> Relevant experience in physical retail is readily
available with the emergence of the Physical Web. The Physical Web
enables immediate and frictionless interaction between customers and
physical objects / locations. Physical retailers can engage and satisfy
customers with relevant and timely data that is harvested from Physical
Web interactions; they can map customer data from online behavior to
integrate customer perceptions and purchasing patterns across all media.
The Physical Web can extend and amplify the power of data centricity
and a customer-centric analytical orientation. <br /><br />Accredent's session
provided insight into the contextual experience adaptations of early
adopters and fast followers in the early majority; it identified the
obstacles that may cause slow followers to get left behind in the late
majority -- or worse. Technical practitioners identified with
quantified examples of the Physical Web; non-technical practitioners identified with the strategic importance of weaving Physical Web
customer interactions and online behavior into the emerging physical
environment. </span><br />
