Key Takeaways

● Users expect a consistent experience across their journey, regardless of what device they use

● People are willing to exchange their information for relevant value: the smartphone should play the role of a personal concierge, not a stalker.

● Start from your team: remove silos and organize your people in cross-functional groups

● You can optimize what you can’t measure. Unify your analytics across platforms and focus on the user, not the device.
