Key principles of digitalization
Be where your customers are. Be what your customer needs you to be. High-quality customer service is still highly valued by consumers and business, but the rules for engagement have changed. If you don’t know already, use this time to get to know what your customers and clients need and want.
- Are you offering them the digital payment or contactless delivery options they want?
- Are they able to contact you via their preferred platform?
- What barriers and obstacles to purchase can you remove?
- How can you increase customer engagement, despite social distancing?
Automate your systems
Automate. Automate. Automate. Now is the time to increase operational efficiency and free up resources to respond and adapt to COVID-related challenges. If a process can be streamlined and automated with a secure digital alternative, it should be.
Move resources to the cloud. Migrating your internal drives and resources to the cloud is essential for remote work agility should teams (yours, your partners, or your clients) suddenly need to work from home. A real-time view of shared files facilitates collaboration, but you also want as many of your business tools to be SAAS (software as a service) so that things like your accounts, cashflow, and client-facing deliverables can be synchronized and accessible with cloud access as well.
