Ep. 5 | Virtual Audiences | Dr. Abel Sanchez Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

The global sports industry is 1.3 trillion dollars. It is huge, global, and growing. Watching a game or match live is an incredible experience; The roar and the energy of the crowd, seeing the players up close, the intensity of a goal or point being made. This is a great example of how a shared experience validates our interests. Without a physical audience present for a game or match, it feels almost like practice—there is no giant unruly crowd cheering the players on. It lacks the essence of what makes live sports a true social phenomenon. In the face of COVID-19 and its restrictions regarding crowds, there are a multitude of options and opportunities to create the false impression of a shared experience to keep fans engaged and to motivate the players. Consider using Zoom to conference yourself into seat of stadium, or the possibility of video game simulated crowds. There are innovative business opportunities to be found in the confrontation of live sports events. Looking forward to discovering what will be done? Discover what lies ahead of us in the latest episode of MIT Professional Education's new series with Dr. Abel Sanchez to stay up to date with the Digital Transformation.

Quizás no exista un mejor ejemplo de lo que influye una experiencia compartida sobre nuestros intereses. Ver un partido en vivo va más allá del juego en sí: son los cánticos, el ruido, la energía de la multitud, la memoria del espacio de un estadio, aunque no fuimos tan conscientes de esta sensación hasta que vivimos la llegada del COVID-19 y sufrimos los efectos de las restricciones con relación a las multitudes. Todos lo podemos recordar: un partido de fútbol sin el estadio lleno parece una práctica entre los jugadores. En tiempos en los que no se puede llevar a cabo esta experiencia compartida, ¿cómo se puede elaborar una estrategia para que no se pierda el efecto de la multitud? Hay oportunidades de negocio que dependen de una estrategia adecuada. ¿Quieres saber lo que nos espera en el futuro?
