"The customer will be transformed from being an audience to an actor"

Leio "What Businesses Need To Know About The Fourth Industrial Revolution" e fico a pensar que há aqui qualquer coisa em falta. Questiono-me se será por causa da audiência-alvo do artigo e do seu âmbito de actuação.

You and your customer necessarily then become cooperators. You are together trying to solve the customer’s problem in a way that both satisfies the customer and ensures a profit for you.
...
The focus should now be on cooperation and emergent interaction based on transparency, interdependence and responsiveness.
.
The really big objective of the digital transformation is to reconfigure agency in a way that brings relationships into the center.
...
The key understanding is that it is now the customers or members of the network who create value, not the network owner. The customer will be transformed from being an audience to an actor."[Moi ici: Frase assassina para os crentes no modo gringo de fazer negócio à la século XX]
