Paul Laughlin, founder of Laughlin Consultancy, was the keynote speaker at a breakfast briefing sponsored by MyCustomer and ForgeRock. This was held at the Royal Institute in London and focused on the topic of: “GDPR & Identity Management: The key to delivering a 5 star customer experience“.
Paul summarised the results of his recent research, surveying 1,000 UK consumers about their digital customer experience. Sponsored by MyCustomer & ForgeRock, this survey explored the extent of device switching when using digital services and the impact of that experience on both consumer trust and willingness to share data.
Through a combination of research results and business experience, Paul highlighted the challenges ahead for today’s businesses, including: GDPR; the data explosion from IoT devices; erosion of trust and ‘Dark Side‘ behaviour by consumers. However, despite warnings from the research and this advice, his talk ended on a positive note, encouraging today’s leaders to respond positively to GDPR and see this as an opportunity to implement a virtuous cycle of improvement. This positive model, for improving trust and sharing of personal data (in a post-GDPR world) was provided as a best practice example, alongside the case study from the BBC.
