What hoops do organisations need to jump through in order to meet the changing demands of a younger, digitally oriented consumer? It may be hard to picture how the world around us might evolve, but adapting to digital trends, innovation and changing consumer behaviour will be critical for brands to survive and thrive in the second half of this decade. - See more at: http://www.information-age.com/technology/applications-and-development/123461300/how-adapt-fast-digital-oriented-mindset-younger-customers#sthash.QxtZOJcC.dpuf
