Makes sense that in a country where trains are plentiful and run on time that you'd be able to pick up groceries ordered online at leshop.ch. Looks like you won't be able to buy ice cream that way, but that makes perfect sense!

Since then I have collected a large number of new passwords bringing my current list to about 6,000,000 unique username/password combos, including many of those that have been recently made public. While many people have improved the security and strength of their passwords, there are still a huge number of people who pick from a very small list of common passwords. In fact, 91% of all user passwords sampled all appear on the list of just the top 1,000 passwords.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I continue to be amazed by the lack of proper passwords being used by people in general. This study is recent but I assume things may change quite rapidly and solutions such as lastpass or password box are helping change this trend. Also I assume this applies well to the USA but may be different in Canada, Quebec and elsewhere due to differences in language and culture.

Farid Mheir's insight:
I find interesting how Capgemini has placed digital marketing in opposition to traditional marketing. Implicit to this infographics is the need for CMOs to question where they spend their marketing budget. It may be time to start and transfer some of the traditional budgets from traditional (print, tv, etc.) into digital, in order to

Most Customer Relationship Management or CRM implementations are governed by an incomplete vision, one that is far too internally focused, and as a result, they are quietly failing to live up to their potential.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Just goes to say how important system integration is within an organization. Solutions such as CRM or SFA (but also ERPs, eCommerce, and many others) that can pull information from all the sources that an organization has about its clients, from inside (field service, customer support, etc.) and from the outside world (linkedIn, twitter, websites and more), is essential. This requires an enterprise strategy and architecture around the client data, which most do not have yet. This is the real challenge.

But successsful implementation of CRM means Marketing, Corporate Srategy, Finance, and IT working together and speaking the same language!

At the Shop.org Summit in Chicago, executives from AdRoll and ReTargeter cover 4 methods of retargeting to customers who have shown interest in your products.
Farid Mheir's insight:
A new method of targeting ads, I find it interesting as it can also be put forward by retailers that do not yet sell online. They could, for example, leverage their POS transaction data along with loyalty card information to identify products their customers have bought (or failed to buy, such as extra cables for electronics baskets or produce for grocery baskets), and then display ads online to help drive conversion of other. Of course this requires a close tie between operational systems (typically controlled by IT dept) and marketing systems (typicall not under the IT dept control). Should make for very interesting priorization debates... ;-)

Angela Ahrendts, CEO of Burberry, is an inspired choice by Apple CEO Tim Cook to run its retail and online businesses. She could become the change that changes Apple and be a future CEO candidate. Or fail spectacularly. A few weeks ago I read an interview with her and realized how deep and intrinsic digital was to Burberry’s future. She told the interviewer: Now, everybody is a digital customer, so doing things digitally is no longer a niche [play]. Doing things digitally is how the entire world communicates. That’s our language today. Digital is not an afterthought. Our design teams design for a landing page and the landing page dictates what the store windows will look like, not the other way round. In creative media, they’re shooting for digital, then we are turning it back to physical. We knew every pound we spent digitally, we could potentially get ten times the reach that we could get physically.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Always insightful Om Malik proves it again here. He raises the right profile information (see quote in italics above) and the appropriate questions (so what's the problem?). Certainly what I find most important for those looking at making a digital transformation or those knee deep in a 100% digital conversion, is how digital must become top of mind, not an afterthought. That is the transformation that must happen and that is the most difficult to operate. Everything else derives from it...

In the U.S., online sales make up about 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent – less than $10-billion (U.S.) – of the $857-billion grocery market, but that could rise to between $100-billion and $110-billion in sales by 2025, Mr. Blischok calculates. In Canada, food e-commerce makes up a tiny proportion of the grocery industry – a fraction of 1 per cent – but could also grow tenfold by 2025, his figures show.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I've been following online grocery for almost 20 years now. Growth has been steady at 20-25% yet remains a marginal offer with high costs, low margins, and complex operations. My take: do not try to win the whole shopping cart of consumers because Canadian and American consumers will continue to drive to stores every week for most of their grocery shopping. Winners will focus their online grocery efforts on either

Farid Mheir's insight:
This story builds on one I reported a few months ago: Google Maps for Business- tracking people and machinery opens new opportunities via @google http://sco.lt/60MKAr Products such as Google maps coordinate bring solutions such as the one Amtrak and Swiss trains have put together, into the hand of enterprises of all size. For 250$/user/year, you can track and coordinate a delivery team, support technicians or sales reps out in the field with GPS accuracy. Businesses have access to travel history and other features to help report and improve resources on the road. Stuff that would have required custom development and dedicated devices is now accessible for anyone with a smartphone and 3G cell connexion. Question then become which companies are willing to make the transformation to leverage this new way of doing things?

On Thursday evening, Diane von Furstenberg's studio in New York's Meatpacking district underwent a temporary transformation.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I am a guy so Diane von Furstenberg means little to me. What is impressive is that this experiement - adding shopping to a live google hangout - feels like the future of eCommerce. Actually it feels like the future of QVC - the tv shopping channel. It is an indication that future shopping may feel more like being walked through a catalog with the help of a personal shopper - what is being referenced as "curated commerce" - instead of having to browse a catalog of clothes or products.

This is one post of a series on "going paperless". Provides useful tips and techniques to get rid of all papers in your life. Targetted at the freelance/consultant/small business, I believe it should also make corporations (or certain departments) think about using simple cloud tools to capture knowledge in a simple way.
Of course, this uses evernote but other tools can be used as well. Personnally I do similar things using google drive.
