Ten years from now, technology’s role should be to enable seamless ways for employees and customers to join in with the initiatives and causes that a brand cares about. As brands become more clear and articulate around what they’re “for,” customers will not only align purchases accordingly, their dollars will also follow. For this to happen, technology should remove all barriers to participation and allow people to engage as simply as possible, and even make it fun.
The people in these roles at companies deeply care about the work they’re doing. They deeply care about mobilizing people and dollars to causes that will impact the world. Many of the platforms I see still feel too much like a platform. They don’t feel human, and they don’t seem to empower the employee or consumer. There’s a huge opportunity to empower people, and the platforms that do, ultimately have the greatest opportunity for impact.
