Case study

'Anchoring consumer centricity fuels the creation process'

For the Adidas brand consumer centricity and consumer-centric creation is the key enabler for growth and commercial success. It is the brand's defined target to set new standards not only regarding tech innovations but also product and service design. This makes consumer centricity an essential building block of the brand and corporate strategy. In order to get there, Adidas has revamped its structures, KPIs, but first and foremost the overall creation process and the staff’s patterns of thinking about key consumers. During this case study Markus will share an insight into the Adidas way to create an ‘insight to action’ culture in a highly complex, fast-moving industry and how this change comes to life via processes, language and tools.
