Omnichannel commerce as an integrated system competence
This module is designed to strengthen your insight and practical skills in understanding and shaping commerce as an integrated system competence in a digital, omnichannel context. You will work on the following learning objectives:
Understanding commerce as a system competence: you analyze how commerce manifests as an organization-wide capability that transcends marketing, sales, and service, and what this means for roles, governance, and collaboration.
Customer value across channels and data: you learn how customer value emerges through the interaction of channels, data, processes, and human interaction, and how to design and assess omnichannel customer journeys.
Understanding commercial ecosystems: you explore how ecosystems of customers, partners, and platforms function, the roles organizations can play, and how platform models and marketplaces change distribution logic.
Building commercial maturity: you develop strategic insight into how organizations can build commercial maturity, which competencies and organizational forms are needed, and how technology and AI play a role.
Critical reflection on your own commercial approach: you reflect on your organization’s current commercial strategy, structure, and collaboration, and make visible the gaps between desired omnichannel customer value and actual practice.
Translation to your own practice: you consistently apply concepts and frameworks to your own case and define concrete growth opportunities and interventions to further develop commerce in your organization as a strategic system competence.
