Linking Omnichannel to Overall Strategy

A DHC Group Project

About the project

In order to address Linking Omnichannel to Overall Strategy, we spoke with omnichannel stakeholders to better understand whether the underlying omnichannel efforts by individual brands are supported by their organization at both the brand level and as part of the overall organizational strategy.

We asked thought leaders how well omnichannel is linked with overall strategy today, what is working, and the steps brands need to take to make sure their efforts are driven by purpose rather than just the latest tech or content that happens to be available.

“It is all about value, regardless of the industry. We want to help patients. It’s a lot of why many of us got into it. Fundamentally it’s asking “What are the things that correlate to revenue and sales?” Think about the end user journey. Thinking about omnichannel, it’s not about tracking or a sophisticated measurement plan. It is about trends.”
