The Big Shift in the Fundamentals of Consumer Behavior. Most of our business models are based on physical interactions, processes that occur face-to-face and value based on presence. What happens when the fundamentals of consumer behavior shift?  If you don't yet understand "The Big Shift" then it is likely you and those around you still perceive changes like the arrival of the internet, Smartphone's, mobile payments, Social Media and networking as the progression of technology adoption. But what if there was much more to these changes? What if they formed the basis of something fundamental and when seen collectively they foretold much bigger and more significant changes in the future? Whether it is a brand, the value assets or the potential of a future investment, chances are consumers are already communicating their opinions using social media platforms. Tools that have arisen from 'The Big Shift' include the process of 'sentiment analysis' which will allow investors to forecast the attitude of consumers with regards to specific issues based on what the public are communicating. This in turn, creates an opportunity to access knowledge that is already available in forecasting the success or risk of an investor's current or future portfolio in 'real time'. Learning to surf 'The Big Shift', provides investors with an opportunity to reconnect the marketplace, removing intermediaries streamlining blockages in communications which in turn impede marketplace competiveness. By using simple social media tools, the property industry can not only capture and search the expertise available within the network, but also create relationships encouraging peer to peer lending and private investors.
