2021: The Year in Review through our White Papers
2021 White Papers Recap
It’s always interesting looking back over the year to see if a theme emerged in our white papers or whether the business or general climate were the trigger. For the first half of 2021, some of our thinking was provoked by ideas that were brought to the fore by the pandemic.
The change in channel use, the need to change citizen behaviour and queue management were all topics that were triggered by those external events. Some of the other topics were inspired by presentations at our Chief Customer Officer Forum which met in May and October. Our remaining ideas emerged from things we saw at clients or the research we did for our new book “The Frictionless Organization” which will be published next year.
We share this summary (below) because we know that sometimes these reach people when they are busy, or the timing is wrong. We have included a two-sentence recap so you can decide which to explore. The paper name hyperlinks to the web site copy. All are available as PDFs if you would like a copy. If you have read them all already, then hats off to you (there will be a test later!).
As always, we appreciate your opinions on any of these. Of course we would be more than happy to discuss any with you and can be contacted on +61 3 9499 3550, 0438 652 396 or email info@limebridge.com.au.
Have a great break.
