=====Key Insights=====

Where they value morality and meaning more than brand names and product features? Where customers multiply their market power through digital tribes or other connected groups?

As part of a broader series examining life and business in the 21st century, SAP Insights research center worked with more than a dozen industry experts to answer these and other questions, uncovering five trends that will determine the digital customer experience over the next decade:
 
  * Make way for meaning
  * Embracing AI intermediaries
  * Customers become contributors
  * From markets to mobs
  * Values define value
