Enabling the Future of Customization

Over the last decades large brands and companies were not able to unlock the full potential of mass customization. The complexity of customized products as well as the direct to consumer business challenges are main barriers. Mass customization has to be considered more than ever before as a relevant growth driver for many established e-commerce business models. A key to success is to take-out complexity through-out the end to end process. As marketing has transformed forever, Christian is convinced that the actual product experience will have to follow. Christian will share his own experiences with enabling customization business working for large corporations as Nike and Ikea, SMEs and his own consumer-facing mass customization business model for customized helmets on www.helmade.com.
