This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to outcompete everyone in the category. My guest is JJ (Projjal) Ghatak, Co-founder & CEO of OnLoop. JJ (Projjal) is a tech entrepreneur on a mission. He held business leadership roles across technology (Uber), management consulting (Accenture Strategy) and corporate development (Essar Capital). Besides that, he's a proud naturalized Singaporean, SMU Scholar, Stanford MBA, and awarded World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer 2022. In 2020, JJ founded OnLoop in an attempt to solve a problem he'd experienced throughout his career: How hard it is for managers to turn high potential individuals into high performing teams.  Their mission: Convert every manager in the world into a great manager.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited JJ to my podcast. We explore the broken world of employee & team performance. JJ shares his journey of solving this problem by driving everyday habits and feedback rather than mere documentation. He shares his biggest lessons on creating product market fit, demand generation, and how to strategically prioritize your focus as a CEO as your company evolves. Lastly, he elaborates on his approach to challenge the status quo and outcompete established players.  Here's one of his quotes Most enterprise software is built as a System of Record. So if you look at employee engagement software, what it is, is a quarterly survey, which is then creating dashboards and data. And so it's a System of Record, not a System of Action.  What you need to drive behavior is a System of Action. So if you think about it from another analogy, people understand is, you don't get fit by doing an annual health checkup every three months. You get fit by going to the gym. And actually 10,000 steps is the best thing that happened to fitness because it made it very easy to drive a system of action. And we think about team health and team performance in the exact same way During this interview, you will learn four things: The framework JJ is using to help him ensure he's focused on the most impactful priority on his list - every day. That founders should focus on creating value, and salespeople on capturing value. And why it will hurt you if you mix this up. His perspective on identifying their ideal customer segment to capture value and scale revenue in a predictable, repeatable way. His first principles when it comes to building remarkable products.

He also operates an early-stage software product company focused on optimising operations.  Prior to this,  he held several senior roles with Accenture Strategy & Consulting, the last one being the Managing Director for the Talent & Organisation Consulting business in Southeast Asia and India. Before that he worked for Arthur D Little, the world's oldest consulting firm; established and operated a niche Strategy and Organisation Design company; and worked as an automobile manufacturing engineer at the very start of his career.       Over a 30-year career in consulting and industry,  he has proudly served more than 100 organisations across Public Sector, Metals & Mining and Banking in India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Australia, and Europe.

Many themes will be familiar to regular listeners and ultimately we are left with more questions and a call to action to reimagine the work environment. Thank you Himanshu.

In recent years, the role of financial leaders has evolved from historian to soothsayer, and yet CFOs don't have a crystal ball to predict the future. Whether it's optimizing operations and upping productivity or accelerating growth and addressing sustainability, today's CFOs are being asked to drive enterprise reinvention and navigate an overwhelming number of complex decisions. It's “to the point where 68% of CFOs are driving three or more enterprise-wide transformation initiatives in parallel,” says Aneel Delawalla, who leads Accenture's CFO and enterprise value strategy practice. With the increasing weight of large-scale organizational decisions resting on their shoulders, how can CFOs rethink the ways they approach business challenges and productively and proactively guide their organizations through transformation? How should they reassess and reimagine their decision-making to activate change more effectively? And how can they maximize the effectiveness of their strategic decision-making to better navigate today's fast-paced and complex business environment, and better ready their organizations for the challenges ahead? In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, Aneel Delawalla, Managing Director of Accenture Strategy, CFO & Enterprise Value, and Paul Carr, Accenture's HXM Ecosystem Lead for Solutions, explore how CFOs can make better, faster, and more strategic decisions that will future-ready their organizations and set the stage for success.

Global economic and political trends have been making it difficult for clients and firms to make sweeping, large-scale decisions, and seemingly no area of business — or life in general, for that matter — has been left untouched.   Mergers and acquisitions have historically a line of business characterised by immense financial and logistical movements, but recently the market's been moving in the opposite direction, towards a more frequent, small-scale approach. So how can firms help clients looking to invest in a serial approach to M&A? Joining us to discuss this issue is Ravi Chanmugan, Director for Growth & Strategy and Health within Accenture Strategy.

Are your customers happy? When they interact with your brand, is it a positive or negative experience? Do you have the metrics to fully answer those questions? Anuj Bhalla brings years of expertise in customer service and analytics to this episode, showing why you need data to track when things go right and when they go wrong. Data is key to better understanding your customers and product, and part of that is being in the game long enough to gather those metrics and test them out. Some products will fail, some will succeed, and you need to be in a market long enough to understand the difference. After leading the service analytics practice at Accenture, Anuj left to forge his own path by founding serviceMob, a tech company at the intersection of customer service and analytics. He believes this field is ripe for better study and transparency, and he's here to explain why. Key TakeawaysCreating win-win situations for your business and your customers is possible, it's not an either/or. Both can be satisfied.Understanding your customers–knowing how and why they interact with your company–is key to growth. Are you tracking the customer and usage metrics that give you insight into your customers' business?  As a founder, you need to be in a market long enough to learn where the pain points are so you can solve them.ResourcesAnuj's LinkedInserviceMob website Blue Collar VC by Mucker CapitalAbout Anuj is Founder & CEO of serviceMob, a Southern California technology company on a mission to fix the many inefficiencies in how consumers access and interact with companies when they need customer service.

Most Australian mid-size businesses and up in Australia have hired very smart consultants, developed new business strategies and growth plans … and then seen most or all of the work shelved. “It's about 90 per cent opportunity, 10 per cent frustration,” says Tightrope's Managing Director Stijn De Vriendt, the former Strategy Director at Accenture Strategy. Tightrope is RyanCap's new boutique strategy consultancy, which has a sweet spot positioned just below the big end of consulting and strategy advisors like Bain, McKinsey, Accenture and the big four audit and consulting giants. Typically they're too big – and perhaps too expensive - for mature mid-tier companies grappling with business transformation programs and high-growth scale-up companies needing to go to the next level but lacking the internal horsepower to get there. Tightrope is pulling the best attributes from agencies and consulting firms to target digital pureplays – aka “the disruptors” – and helping them scale, as well as legacy bricks and mortar businesses – aka “the disrupted” – to help them go digital. But instead of just writing a report and leaving, Tightrope wants to do more. “We don't just stop at strategy,” De Vriendt says. “We want to go beyond and develop prototypes, test those with customers, and help a client get ready to actually scale.” And Tightrope says the balancing act is already working.

The pandemic compelled consumers worldwide to drastically shift their views on what's important, particularly with the businesses they patronize and the products they use. The majority of consumers are rethinking not only their purchasing habits but also what they prioritize in life, a recent Accenture survey of more than 25,000 consumers in 22 countries showed. How can companies contend with these shifting priorities and turn consumer uncertainty into consumer growth?

Forum Sostenibilità | giornata Work Reloaded | Sostenibilità & Inclusione |JOB STATIONS: UNA SOLUZIONE CONCRETA PER L'INCLUSIONE LAVORATIVA.L'inserimento lavorativo di persone con storie di disagio psichico è una sfida culturale e professionale dei nostri giorni. Se da un lato è un formidabile strumento di ri-abilitazione, capace di restituire fiducia, dignità e autostima, dall'altro è un valore per la collettività e un'esigenza di inclusione per le aziende, nonchè un obbligo normativo. Diversità e inclusione possono sostenere innovazione e competitività, contribuendo a migliorare le performance di business. Adottare e promuovere iniziative concrete di impiego dedicate a persone con disabilità è un'occasione imperdibile per costruire un percorso di sviluppo che incrementi la cultura dell'inclusione con effetti benefici sull'azienda e le sue persone. JOB Stations è un modello consolidato che risponde sia ai bisogni delle persone con storie di disagio psichico che a quello delle aziende che vogliono trasformare la disabilità in abilità.Intervengono:Francesco Margreth, CEO & Founder Kekyjob;Aldo Pozzoli, Accenture Strategy, Principal Director, Sustainability Global Group Accenture.Per collaborare come Speaker e Partner agli eventi di Comunicazione Italiana: marketing@comunicazioneitaliana.it

What is automation? Why should you care? Why can't anyone explain it in laymen's terms? We are joined by Caitlyn Truong - Managing Director, Financial Services at Accenture Strategy - to clear all these questions up. Bottom line, AI and automation give humans time and freedom to divert their focus elsewhere. Stick around for some cool catchphrases like: Swivel the chair Boil the ocean Buzzword bingo

Olly Belcher joined Purposely Podcast to talk about her founder story and her absolute dedication to helping people living in poverty in India. She talks about how fatherly influence (as well as personal invite from Mother Teresa) led her to dedicate her career to helping people living in poverty in West Bengal. Her father's career in India led to many bed-time stories focused the wonders and mystique of India to a young impressionable Olly. We go deep into her founder story at the same time reflecting on the charities (her staff in West Bengal) 'inspirational' response to COVID-19. We also delve into her ability to chronically overachieve, this included her University years where she gained a first class honours degree in Geography and a distinction in her Masters degree both from Oxford University. Olly then joined the World Bank in Washington DC where, amongst other achievements, she was awarded the World Bank Youth Innovation Fund. Her time at the World Bank was followed by a move to London where she worked for Accenture Strategy and also helped prepare the 5 year strategy for Accenture Development Partnerships. Back to her founder story… starting the charity Shivia in December 2008 Olly has been the Chief Executive since 2010. It was a brave move, not only was she giving up a great opportunity at the World Bank (a job that paid well and was secure with great prospects) it was also the time of the global financial crisis. These things did not phase Olly though and she has no regrets about the move she made or the life philosophy it has given her... 'there is never a perfect time to do something, you just need to trust your instincts and follow your passion' So what does the charity do and what is Olly's role? Shivia works with some of the poorest communities in West Bengal, India and its mission is to empower them to create livelihoods, boost income and inspire permanent change. Poultry farming is their ‘flagship' programme launched in 2011. It provides the tools and training (the ‘toolkit‘) for families living in poverty to start a small enterprise from home by raising chickens and selling the produce. You will hear how Olly has become a skilled but reluctant fundraiser. She also forms Shivia's overall strategy and works hard to support operations. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-longbottom2/message

How can big teams and companies tackle growth strategies? It often requires them to move faster, be more nimble, and make faster decisions — basically to act like a startup. But this is not something that comes easily to massive companies with multiple layers of processes and systems in place. Chris Roark helps organizations achieve that startup speed.   Chris Roark is a Managing Director with Accenture Strategy, where he leads competitiveness and zero-based cost management areas in North America. He works with leaders of consumer-packaged goods and industrial and retail companies, helping them drive enterprise value through innovative growth strategies, operating model designs, and structural costs resets. Chris also co-authored The Big Zero, a book that outlines how organizations can achieve startup speed at enterprise scale by adopting a Zero-Based Mindset.   The business landscape is changing, and that has an impact on the speed at which we need to do business. Chris explains what trust in the business context means and the consequences of diminished trust for companies looking to move with the agility to keep up with the times. He also dives into The Big Zero and how it works in helping companies get startup speed and enterprise scale. There needs to be a shift from Zero-Based Budgeting to Zero-Based Mindset — we need to go from being finance-driven to culture-driven, and that’s where the dynamic part of looking at things on a regular basis to adjust plans as the real world changes. We dig into the importance of having agility and optionality in maintaining competitiveness and why it is crucial for leaders to be mentors and coaches on this front.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: Innovation Training for Individuals Chris Roark Accenture Strategy The Big Zero: The transformation of ZBB into a force for growth, innovation and competitive advantage, by Kris Timmermans, Chris Roark, & Rodrigo Abdalla Zero-Based Mindset Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall

Let’s face it: To be a good, effective leader in today’s complex and crowded marketplace, leaders need some new skills, and they are skills that we don’t normally talk about or associate with the traditional viewpoint of leadership — things like empathy and intuition. Apart from just the “right-brain” skills, leaders need to tap into their “left-brain” skills and put them all together in the form of Whole-Brain Leadership. Katherine LaVelle joins me on this episode to dive into just what this means.   Katherine LaVelle is the Managing Director and North America Lead for Talent and Organization at Accenture Strategy. She helps organizations develop and implement workforce transformation programs to improve employee performance and deliver bottom-line results. As an expert in Whole-Brain Leadership, she helps leaders to augment their traditional skills like critical reasoning, data analysis, making tough decisions with skills like creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, empathy, negotiation, intuition, and innovation.   Why don’t the traditional styles of leadership fit into the modern workforce? Katherine shares more about a unique group of people, “The Pathfinders,” and how they are disrupting the workforce, and why empathy and negotiation are becoming critical skills for leaders to develop. She also reveals a surprising skill leaders need to cultivate — intuition, and how to approach re-skilling yourself as a leader. Whole-Brain leadership can drive a culture where innovation thrives across the organization — find out how you can implement that in your organization!   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: IQE Assessment Katherine LaVelle on Twitter Whole-Brain Leadership Accenture Strategy StitchFix 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey

Accenture has partnered with Intel to provide Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory to its SAP HANA clients. In this episode, we talk with Jolie LeBlanc, Business Strategy Manager in the Semiconductor Practice at Accenture Strategy, about the partnership, the challenges and opportunities Accenture clients face with their in-memory databases, and how Intel® OptaneTM DC persistent memory can help. As one of the first system integrators with a comprehensive understanding of how to use and manage this new technology, Accenture has a unique perspective on how SAP HANA users can capitalize on this new technology category. The challenge many SAP HANA users face is that the ever-increasing database size drives up infrastructure costs and/or restricts users from keeping all relevant working data sets in their SAP HANA in-memory database – which limits the value users can derive from it. This is where Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory comes in. Based on Accenture’s testing, LeBlanc describes the benefits of persistent memory for SAP HANA users, including the potential for several large data sets to fit into memory rather than storage. Accenture clients can now process data faster to achieve faster business insights. And due to persistence, there is less waiting for data loading. To learn more, visit intel.com/optanedcpersistentmemory Intel technologies' features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No product or component can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.

Show #451   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 22nd April 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   There was a new record set today here in the UK, 90 hours and 45 minutes is the longest coal free run in Britain since the industrial revolution, beating the previous record in April 2018. Not since we first started burning coal industrially have we gone longer without turning on a coal powered plant. Thank you to everyone in the UK with solar on their roof, and to everyone involved in the UK renewables industry. It means a lot to me personally to know all the EV miles I’ve done this weekend haven’t been powered by coal, wherever I’ve charged.   From EarthDay.org: “Nature’s gifts to our planet are the millions of species that we know and love, and many more that remain to be discovered. Unfortunately, human beings have irrevocably upset the balance of nature and, as a result, the world is facing the greatest rate of extinction since we lost the dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago. But unlike the fate of the dinosaurs, the rapid extinction of species in our world today is the result of human activity. The unprecedented global destruction and rapid reduction of plant and wildlife populations are directly linked to causes driven by human activity: climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, trafficking and poaching, unsustainable agriculture, pollution and pesticides to name a few. The impacts are far reaching. If we do not act now, extinction may be humanity’s most enduring legacy."   CONSUMERS ARE CHOOSING BRANDS THAT SUPPORT THE EARTH "More than ever, consumers have become the swinging voters of product success. Most people are choosing companies that take a stand on important social, cultural, environmental and political issues." reports Forbes today: "That’s according to an online survey of nearly 30,000 people by Accenture Strategy, conducted across 35 countries between August and October 2018. Homing in on cars, Accenture Strategy investigated electric vehicle (EV) adoption and conducted a separate survey of 6,000 people. They found that the cost of EV batteries fell by more than 80% over just six years, which made the purchase price of battery-powered vehicles comparable to combustion engine cars. The report concluded that EVs are poised to overtake conventional cars by the year 2040. Consumers reported that environmental concerns would be their primary motivator to purchase EVs, followed by long term cost saving opportunities offered in comparison to traditional cars."   https://www.forbes.com/sites/natalieparletta/2019/04/22/consumers-are-choosing-brands-that-support-the-earth/#60fb8fb4bf29   TESLA AUTONOMY DAY "Tesla is holding its Autonomy Day today, with the company inviting investors to its headquarters in Palo Alto, CA to get a deep dive into the company’s full self-driving initiatives." says Simon at Teslarati: "During the event, Tesla will be sharing its full self-driving roadmap to attendees. Several key executives involved in the company’s autonomous driving project such as CEO Elon Musk, VP of Engineering Stuart Bowers, VP of Hardware Engineering Pete Bannon, and Sr. Director of AI Andrej Karpathy will be addressing the event’s attendees as well. Investors will also have the opportunity to experience test rides in vehicles that are equipped with Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features that are yet to be released."   Tesla says: "Tesla is making significant progress in the development of its autonomous driving software and hardware, including our FSD computer, which is currently in production and which will enable full-self driving via future over-the-air software updates. With a number of very exciting developments coming in the weeks and months ahead, Tesla will host investors on the morning of April 19th at our headquarters in Palo Alto to provide a deep dive into our self-driving technology and road map.”   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-autonomy-day-livestream-updates/   VW I.D. NEO HATCHBACK PROTOTYPE SPIED ELECTRIFYING THE SNOW "Volkswagen has an electric hatchback in the works for its I.D. lineup. We haven’t seen very much of it, but our spy photographers recently caught a prototype testing in the snowy north." according to Motor1.com: "Our colleagues and all-around electric pros at InsideEVs tell us the VeeDub should have a range upwards of 342 miles (550 kilometers), utilizing a 150 kW motor. That will be the launch vehicle, but a lower-end model with approximately 205 miles (330km) of range should arrive within a couple of years."   https://www.motor1.com/news/345949/vw-neo-hatchback-prototype-spied/   FIRST DRIVE: MG eZS TO BE NEW EV PRICE LEADER "MG WILL target a circa-$30,000 before on-road costs pricetag for its upcoming eZS all-electric small SUV, which could make it Australia’s cheapest emissions-free model when it hits showrooms sometime in the next 12 months." reports goauto.com.au: "Currently, Hyundai’s $44,990 Ioniq Electric Elite small car is the country’s most affordable all-electric vehicle (EV), while the MG eZS will compete directly against the South Korean brand’s Kona Electric small SUV that kicks off from $59,990. The electric version of the ZS will also sit atop MG’s small SUV line-up, with the Soul variant opening the range at $20,990 and the Essence priced at $23,990. ully charged, its 44.5kWh battery has a claimed range of 335km under the outdated New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) testing protocol. On the road last week for an exclusive drive, the MG ZS EV showed it not only paves a new road for EVs, but has impressive economy of ownership attributes for a broad range of buyers, including those who may not have previously considered an EV."   https://www.goauto.com.au/future-models/mg/ezs/first-drive-mg-ezs-to-be-new-ev-price-leader/2019-04-22/78467.html   FORD COUNTS ON HYBRIDS TO COMPLY WITH STRICTER EUROPEAN EMISSION TARGETS "Ford of Europe says that its coming broader range of hybrid models will permit it to comply with stricter European Union emission targets set for 2020-21 without the risk of paying fines." according to Automotive News Europe: "Many other automakers — led by the region’s largest player, the Volkswagen Group — are preparing an offensive of battery-powered vehicles that comply to meet the EU's latest CO2 emissions reduction targets. Ford will take a different route, counting more — like Toyota — on hybrids rather than battery electric vehicles. Ford is ramping up its launch of hybrids — with a special emphasis on plug-in hybrids such as the new Kuga compact crossover. Under an EU credit system favoring plug-in vehicles, any car emitting less than 50g/km of CO2 will count as two vehicles in 2020, 1.67 vehicles in 2021, 1.33 in 2022 and one by 2023." To help tackle climate change, the EU has mandated automakers selling cars in Europe to reduce industrywide fleet CO2 emissions to 95 grams per km by 2021 from 120 g/km last year. Each automaker has a different target based on the average mass of its vehicles. Ford of Europe’s 2021 target is 95.4 g/km, according to calculations by PA Consulting in Germany."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/ford-counts-hybrids-comply-stricter-european-emission-targets   2020 BMW IX3 ELECTRIC SUV SPOTTED IN MUNICH "BMW’s first ever fully-electric SUV was just spotted in Munich during typical testing sessions. The EV SUV based on the BMW X3 will arrive in 2020 and will not only be the brand’s first electric SUV, but also built on a platform that covers all aspects of mobility – internal combustion, plug-in hybrid and electric." writes BWMBLog today: "The new EV will be built atop the same platform as the current X3 which has been designed from the get go to accommodate an electric drivetrain. The iX3 will bring BMW’s new battery and powertrain technology which will be a 70 kWh battery pack, more than double the current biggest BMW battery – the 33 kWh pack in the new i3.

A new study by Accenture has found that employees are nearly 9 times more willing and able to innovate in companies with a robust culture of equality, than in companies that do not. But while while 76 per cent of executives globally said they empower employees to innovate, only 37 per cent of employees agree. What does equality look like to employees, and how does this perspective differ from that of employers? Sonia Gupta, Managing Director of Accenture Strategy, shares the report’s findings.

Are organizational speed and stability mutually exclusive? Michael Bazigos of Accenture Strategy joins Elitsa Nacheva to look at the paradox of true agility, other surprising insights from Accenture's Transformation GPS tool, and what ultra-fast motorcycles can teach financial services leaders.

Liza Goodspeed is an Analyst at Accenture Strategy with a strong interest in the healthcare industry. During her time at Accenture (she started in August 2017) Liza has assessed the current state of a call center and assisted with designing a transformation strategy through agent observations, stakeholder interviews and analysis of call patterns, call types and FTE data.  The findings were then translated into several business cases with corresponding implementation charters and an integrated roadmap. Liza has also worked on things like patient access and revenue cycle transformation and clinical variation reduction strategies. She didn’t get interested in this field, until her senior year at the University of Pennsylvania, where she’d been pre-med and expected to go into medical school, not into the business world.  Liza graduated from U Penn in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Societies and Healthcare Markets and Financing.

I can personally imagine a world where I can get anything whenever I want it. Can't you? In 2015 we've seen a proliferation of successful on-demand companies whether it's Shoes of Prey where you can design and order your own shoes or Blue Apron that delivers pre-determined ingredients so a consumer can make themselves the perfect meal. Even airports realize on-demand and no fuss services makes for happy customers and big profits. For example recently on a layover at Newark International Airport I ordered a turkey wrap from an ipad and only interacted with a person who wanted to see the proof that I had paid--they then handed me my wrap. The entire Newark International Airport is littered with ipads. It's eerie that there are very few humans actually working at the restaurants at all. But it's a taste of the future. In fact being able to order what we want when we want it is the future of consumerism. Today it's becoming easier than ever to get our preferences delivered to us directly whether we're at a fast food restaurant at an airport, or even at work or at home.

In fact being able to order what we want when we want it is the future of consumerism. Today it's becoming easier than ever to get our preferences delivered to us directly whether we're at a fast food restaurant at an airport, or even at work or at home. Earlier this year in her “Internet Trends” report, American venture capitalist and former Wall Street securities analyst Mary Meeker highlighted various “just-in-time” companies, mostly from the sharing economy, however there is a growing interest in on-demand companies of all kinds—even liquor. Mary Meeker cites a few reasons why on-demand services have taken off in the last few years that include, “smartphone adoption, mobile payment platforms and social authentication." Additionally the way millennials prefer to work--and the on-demand work suits millennials.  The same report argues that changes in connectivity and commerce impacts the ways people can work, but it's still early in the game. So now we have a proliferation of social networks, we have a proliferation of content sites, but we don't have a ton of brands that marry both. How about companies that bring back-stories to whatever it is they help you create? There is a large maker movement happening today where people want to create their own stuff. Just because we can get anything pre-packaged or set up doesn't mean we (especially millennials) like it that way. While some in the “Maker Movement” might be only referring to 3d printing or tools to make technology and robots, it also speaks to a growing interest in returning to creating all kinds of stuff--at home. These stories and content build community and create a direct connection to whatever it is you build-with the ingredients provided to you by the on-demand company. I won't go so far as to call this a “back to the land” movement but I will say people are interested in doing things that come with a story—that have special meaning—that takes a certain amount of personal effort.  According to TIME Magazine there are approximately 135 million U.S. adults who are makers, and the overall market for 3D printing products and various maker services hit $2.2 billion in 2012. That number is expected to reach $6 billion by 2017 and $8.41 billion by 2020. In a sense the on-demand market can be seen as parallel to the idea of the maker movement. Some of the smartest companies are not only building a following with an on-demand product and services model, they're also building wildly imaginative stories that accompany these ingredients. They're empowering consumers to create their own imaginative things. For example, it's possible that for my next cocktail party I will go on Pinterest, find a recipe I like and then head to the store to buy the various liquors, juices and sodas. However, what if you could find the recipe and have the alcohol delivered to you? What if that recipe was created by your favorite mixologist? This is precisely why the new on-demand liquor company Thirstie has had a ton of early success. On-Demand Services For Millennials Are About Much More Than Speed Devaraj Southworth--CEO of on-demand alcohol company Thirstie--believes catering to the millennial is about much more than speed of delivery. With Thirstie it's about engaging the customer on a higher level, not speed. For Thirstie it's about educating the consumer on what the product is about. What can you make at home with the product? They've put emphasis on not just a marketing platform to deliver the consumer the bottles of alcohol ordered in under an hour, but they focus on the content and community part of it. They launched The Craft on their main website www.Thirstie.com—an editorial platform, in June 2015. The time spent on the Thirstie site went from 20 seconds to 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Clearly the millennial wants to learn about what they can make and what they can do on a hyper local level. According to Southworth, Thirstie believes in educating the consumer at the right time and the right place. In studies conducted by the company consumers want to feel “in the know” about trends. For example a trendy mixologist at a restaurant in Harlem, born in Australia--that was a producer of an amazing tequila--might guest post on their content site The Craft. Then the company Thirstie will deliver all the ingredients so readers can replicate the same cocktail recipe from that mixologist. Thirstie said adding recipes to their app increased engagement by 70 percent. Thirstie is growing 35 percent month over month. According to Southworth they "don't want to be in 100 cities with 1000 retail partners—they're moving slowly in a thoughtful way." Listen to our podcast for more from Devaraj Southworth. More about Devaraj Southworth: Devaraj Southworth is the CEO and Co-Founder of Thirstie, a leading national on-demand liquor, wine, and beer delivery company with a content driven commerce platform. Devaraj has been a leader in business, online media and mobile technology for close to 20 years, and is a serial entrepreneur with a number of successful ventures to his name. Prior to Thirstie, Devaraj built a digital agency to over $10M in sales, sold the Creative Services BU to an Inc. 500 Company, was a VP of Mobile Strategy for Amex, and is a former Deloitte and Accenture Strategy consultant. Devaraj studied Organizational Psychology and Investigative Journalism at Ohio Wesleyan.
