Great post Roger! Thank you. From the 1996 armpit book to today, the key lever that has changed in technology is the amount of data amassed for every individual (thank you Internet, Google, etc.). Today we can readily tap the power of that data to drive deep customer insights through the use of data-driven analytical techniques (I call it Precision Marketing) to adopt a more definitive approach to understanding what customer really want. Then the challenge is to deliver just that to our customers.
Great to see neuroscience application are going global!
