We are embarking on a new era of digitization. Data has become ubiquitous and an integral part of our existence. 40% of the world populations are connected to the internet.

There will be more open systems in place where communities can dock and create their own systems - Threadless is a great example of this concept. Recent example, of #Pepsicrashtheipl , is the classic example of how the company created its ads by tapping into the creativity of its Fans.
- More trust and consistency across the various brand outlets - With digitization, it is paramount that the customer feels the same while interacting with various Omni channel outlets of the brand.

Digitization is the next disruption. We have to be ready for it or be disrupted. The next generation of successful entrepreneurs and corporations will be the one who comprehend this well. Don't you think so? Please give in your comments below.
