For all the talk of ‘improving the user experience’ that we come across in our smart home research, it’s still not surprising to hear how the majority of consumers feel about their IoT gadgets and doohickeys.

If you’re like most business leaders, you try to do everything you can to keep your company’s information safe.
You tell your employees to use strong passwords and offer regular trainings on phishing and the importance of internet security. You even make them change their passwords every six months or three months.
Although you know no system is foolproof, your rules should be as strict as possible in order to prevent a breach. Or should they? Evidence shows that stringent security measures can actually backfire, and can leave you more vulnerable than you were before.

E-commerce business models are undergoing a dramatic shift. Initially businesses relied on consumers to do the 'heavy lifting' to discover the product and to make the purchase decision. The vendor's role was to ensure that the product was discoverable and — most importantly — available at the geographic location where the transaction potentially would take place.
But the new e-commerce business model is optimized by driving the consumer to subscribe to 'an experience.' Think of Spotify or Apple Music, for example. The customer purchases access to a seemingly endless supply of music and tools that ensure their experience is maximized. The focus of the experience moves from a 'warehouse experience' to more of a concierge, personalized and curated experience. The consumer has already purchased, and so the emphasis is placed on ensuring that they stay engaged and active. Most importantly, the service makes recommendations and learns what the consumer likes, making the discovery of music a delight. In this model the better the tools engage the customers the better the company will prosper.
