Growing power is simple – as consumers, we have far more choice regarding products and vendors, more information about those choices and more ability to switch from one vendor to another if we don’t feel that our needs are being met. This challenge will only intensify as we see growing fragmentation of product and service businesses. Now, we feel an increasing need to learn more about the ways we can use the product to get even more value.
