Propulsion 2021 Bonus Rule - Propel CEO Ray Hein chats with Mark Rumbaugh, VP of IT at VIZIO, about putting the customer at the center of the product experience and why it's key to manufacturers growing profits in a design-anywhere, build-anywhere, sell-anywhere world.

Manufacturers are responding to the global supply chain disruption by forecasting demand further out in the future. Manufacturers are struggling with multiple challenges: supply chain interruptions (including MSA Safety's inability to secure resin), labor shortages, and elongated transportation times. Demand is not currently a big challenge for most manufacturers. The big challenge is securing the items needed to build their products. Hear how Rockley Photonics, a chipmaker, and MSA Safety, chip a customer, are meeting customer needs in the age of semiconductor shortages and transportation bottlenecks.

When the product was king, it was all about what the product could do. Now that customer is king, it’s about creating the best customer experience and gaining lifetime loyalty. Recurring revenue models are the new in, which incentivize the customer to actually stick around, unlike license and maintenance models of the past. Launching high-quality products has become more of a team effort, which requires a certain level of collaboration across different departments. That's why Product 360 goes hand in hand with Customer 360. The key to product success is to start with the customer, invest in technology and quickly adapt to changes.

Buyers have always craved great features at compelling prices. But now there’s a 3rd dimension that matters just as much: their customer experience. Joining us is Alexa Vignone, EVP at Salesforce.

Digital transformation is a team effort and common obstacles threaten to derail success. Luckily there are certain best practices which can help you on your journey. Joining us today is Bruce Richardson from Salesforce.
