Reframing Online Delivery
Digital Retail
Case Background
Recognizing that what you do best is not enough to solve an intricate challenge is hard, especially when your “best” is considered the world’s best. This was the predicament faced by our Client – a prominent US multinational technology company known for its unrivaled e-commerce platform and unparalleled logistical capabilities. Despite their industry dominance, they found themselves stuck while trying to expand into the emerging grocery delivery market. Their usual strategies of moving faster and offering products at lower prices were not sufficient to overcome the unique challenges of this new market. They had to reconsider their approach, innovate beyond their traditional methods, and address the complexities of grocery delivery.
The application of the PDI framework enabled us to significantly enhance our established understanding of the problem by shifting our perspective from seeing it as merely a logistical challenge to recognizing it as a perceptual issue within the shopper’s mind. This shift in viewpoint was crucial, as it allowed us to delve deeper into the underlying psychological factors influencing shopper behavior. Following this reframing, we conducted a precedent search that revealed hundreds of successful cases, each providing key insights into overcoming psychological barriers. These cases offered invaluable lessons on how to address and mitigate the mental obstacles that shoppers face, ultimately leading to more effective solutions. By focusing on the perceptual aspects, we were able to identify strategies that not only resolved logistical issues but also enhanced the overall shopping experience, leading to greater customer satisfaction and improved outcomes. This comprehensive approach underscored the importance of understanding the shopper’s mindset and demonstrated how addressing psychological factors can be just as critical as solving logistical problems.
