Postal Innovation Platform (PIP) Conference 2013

(please find below our Postal Industry Newsletter)

From 24 to 25 September senior executives and opinion leaders of the postal industry met in Lausanne, Switzerland in order to present innovative ideas and business solutions and discuss some of the most pressing issues the postal world is dealing with today. No doubt, the postal industry is under pressure, but it is likewise fascinating how much innovation potential is unleashed in this process. However, we are not talking about evolution, change or adaptation anymore. What is required in order to cope with the challenges is nothing less that ‘re-invention’ of today’s postal business or, going even further, a process of ‘creative destruction’. Does this mean that this is the final ‘good-bye’ to the posts as we know them? Or are posts really in a position to prevent the slow, but continuous downsizing of their core businesses?


Whatever the future will bring, at least one thing is certain: The customers are still out there. Their needs and demands have changed and will change even further in the coming years, but the posts that understand these new needs and change their strategies respectively will be in a lead position and will collect the benefits of their forerunner status. So what are the success criteria? Actually the answers are not so new: (1) know your USPs, (2)know your customers, (3) be innovative and create a market.
