The Internet’s Next Era: Why Your Company Needs to Prepare We all witnessed the profound impact the internet has had on the nature of business. From how we market and sell to how we deliver value and collaborate - the internet has redefined business models and entire industries. Yet many leaders remain puzzled or skeptical of new internet trends like web3, defi, nfts, metaverse platforms, and decentralized autonomous organizations. However, ignoring these seismic shifts would be a grave mistake. The companies that will thrive in the digital future are those bridging their offline operations to the emerging online infrastructure and communities. Here’s why: Access and ownership: Web3 establishes direct, identity-centric connections between brands and users while enabling shared ownership through tokens and decentralized governance. Can your business benefit by deepening digital relationships? New markets and audiences: By entering new metaverse, VR, crypto, and NFT communities, companies can diversify their customer base and revenue streams with often younger, digitally native consumers. Authentic connections: The most adaptive organizations are developing authentic web3 and metaverse presences to boost transparency, nurture connections, and contribute social value like sustainability or creativity. Seamless omnichannel experiences: Leading companies integrate robust ecommerce with web3 channels, metaverse activations, messaging apps and more - delivering unified yet platform-personalized experiences. Simply put, customers (both existing and emerging) expect to engage brands on their own technology terms. While the offline realm still retains importance, expanding into decentralized digital spaces secures relevance amid ever-evolving consumer behavior and infrastructure. What potential do you see for your company to strategically bridge traditional operations with web3, metaverse, crypto or other internet innovations? Which new communities align with your brand ethos? We’re eager to advise leaders on developing holistic omnichannel business plans fit for the next era of the internet. Let’s connect! Excerpt from our company brochure highlighting our services that will seamlessly bridge your business to this new innovation of the internet!👇 #blockchaintechnology #web3 #blockchaininnovation #nft #decentralizedfinance

A quick view into Metaverse Workplace Worldwide and its market growth of nearly 20% for 2024. Just as we thought our world could not be more disconnected or fictional from reality... The pendulum momentum of Metaverse is moving forward in transforming the potential energy (conceptual vision) into kinetic energy (the real outcome). I admit struggling somewhat with the Metaverse intiative's concept and intent... as well as if the created innovation will receive merit and endorsement abroad. The proposed created play field concept is rather intriguing nevertheless... My conscious bias to be validated: Metaverse is the play field answering the prophecy of the suffering? I stand to be corrected. https://lnkd.in/e66Giavi.

Financial Services Need a Future -Forward Mindset in the Metaverse Financial services in the metaverse will become the glue for the upcoming creative economy bridging within real and virtual assets. And the main issue is a lack of future-forward mindset that is needed to develop competence and deliver customer experience required by the growing creative economy. The growth points for financial services could include: ♥️ Development of Digital Competencies Improve the financial company's in-house digital metaverse competency by adding IT and metaverse experts or consultants to the team. Find the one who has a passion for it and can lead it. Try the metaverse experience for yourself, learn about new technology, forecast the metaverse impact on your business, and generate appropriate digital and customer experience strategies. ♥️ Implementation of Disruptive Inner Culture Financial brands can keep up with digital innovations if they adopt a flexible disruptive culture. This way of thinking and operating allows us to step out of the box and adapt to any new technology and customer trends. Each employee in such a culture is open-minded to constantly reinventing the customer experience, bringing it to a new level and offering a solution that's way more usable and enjoyable than any other alternative on the market. ♥️ Tracking Customer Expectations To be ready to adapt, it's essential to constantly monitor and detect changes in customers' digital behavior and have the technological resources to adapt quickly and efficiently. By staying alert to rising changes in customers' needs, the companies should be able to prepare in advance and react in time, thereby expanding their digital solution to new platforms and providing customer-demanded solutions. ♥️ Attention to an Existing Experience It's important to remember that many financial brands are focused on upcoming digital trends in a rush for an outstanding competitive advantage. But first, we must ensure that the existing service is well thought out and executed to keep users safe from friction and frustration. Using the example of the European NFT artist, it didn't take innovative technology to serve a legal client worth $10 million, just a bit more competence and attention. Often you can do a lot to improve the customer experience and become human-centered even before adopting innovative technologies. ♥️ Revision of Business Legacy People's habits and outdated ways of thinking often prevent them from seeing new possibilities. In financial services, it makes sense to practice an experience-centered mindset throughout the entire organization with the courage to challenge the legacy mentality. This will organically make the financial brand team focus on serving customers and be open to adopting digital innovations demanded by the new generation of consumers. #financialbanking #fintech #financialdesign #banking #meterverse
