Assuming you’re already aware of the importance of delivering relevant experiences, I won’t waste your time with another article on why digital personalisation is critical for business success. Instead, I want to address the challenge that personalisation managers face every day: ensuring the success of personalisation across various digital properties belonging to their brands or clients.
The 6Ws framework described below draws inspiration from Rudyard Kipling’s renowned poem, I Keep Six Honest Serving Men.
