Employee expectations for digital workplace experiences have undergone a fundamental shift. They now expect the same level of intelligence and intuitiveness within enterprise tools as they do when interacting with consumer-facing applications. These systems are often disjointed and inconsistent, forcing employees to navigate complex workflows to complete even basic tasks. To bridge this experience gap, organisations must couple human-centred design principles with #emergingtechnologies and leverage #AI to automate mundane tasks and unlock new levels of productivity and innovation in the workplace. #ex

🌐 Cognizant's Acquisition of Belcan: A Strategic Move Amid Economic Uncertainty 🌐 Cognizant's recent acquisition of Belcan is a significant step in expanding its engineering services and signals a broader trend in the IT services sector. It mimics Capgemini's acquisition of Altran in 2019. In a time of dwindling demand and economic uncertainty, such strategic acquisitions can provide a much-needed boost to M&A deal activities. Why This Matters: 🔍 Inorganic Market Share Expansion: With organic growth facing headwinds, acquiring companies like Belcan allows Cognizant to swiftly enhance its market presence and diversify its service offerings. 🔍 Capabilities Enhancement: Belcan brings robust engineering and R&D capabilities, enabling Cognizant to offer more comprehensive solutions to existing clients, thereby increasing value and deepening customer relationships. 🔍 Survival Tactics in a Competitive Industry: In an industry characterized by minimal differentiation, expanding capabilities and market share through acquisitions can be crucial for survival and growth. Offering more to the same customers helps maintain relevance and competitiveness. Strategic Implications: ✅ Adaptation to Economic Climate: M&A activities can provide stability and growth opportunities in uncertain times, helping companies like Cognizant navigate and thrive despite economic challenges. ✅ Enhanced Service Portfolio: Integrating Belcan’s strengths with Cognizant’s existing services allows for a more diversified and resilient business model. ✅ Customer-Centric Growth: Focusing on providing enhanced value to existing customers through expanded capabilities ensures sustained business relationships and loyalty. As the IT services landscape continues to evolve, strategic acquisitions will play a pivotal role in shaping the future. Companies must leverage these opportunities to remain competitive and deliver greater value to their clients. Partners at Peak North bring a strong track record of advising global brands on their inorganic growth strategies. Peak North can support your sector research, buy-side mandate, target identification, and thesis validation to ensure strategic and informed decision-making in M&A activities. #Cognizant #Belcan #MergersAndAcquisitions #ITServices #BusinessGrowth #EconomicUncertainty #DealAdvisory #Growth #Technology

Forget #B2B or #B2C - The Future is #P2P :) Glad to get the positive feedback I did at the end of the session. I chose this interesting topic to speak on today at the 7th Marketing Innovation Summit @Bangalore basis all my 4 decade+ live experiences across the corporate and entrepreneur sectors and multiple industries. The importance of people, peerworking, leadership, human touch, culture, personalisation of communication, services and customer experiences for business growth can never be undermined even as we move towards a more cold, transactional, online and tech based digital world. All the more needed in this cold transactional world. And the realisation that great Marketing work and big spends by itself does not stand a chance to sustain growth and profits consistently unless supported by all the points above was stressed. And my take is that P2P wins hands down vis a vis hardsell by paid #influencers or other big spends. At the end Business, like Life is all about balance :) Happy to continue this journey of sharing with audiences across the spectrum to look at new ways of doing old things :) #marketing #branding #communication #customerexperience

Rather than focusing solely on others, individuals should cultivate a profound curiosity for self-discovery, prioritize outcomes over individuals, nurture robust connections, and lead with guidance rather than authority. One fundamental aspect of a profoundly humble leader is their commitment to transparency through openly acknowledging their own errors and weaknesses. Lot to Practice!
