"The elephant in the social media room at the moment is that most corporate social media initiatives to date have been tactical experiments. Of those, few have generated meaningful business results. Sure, people have built up Facebook Fans and Twitter followers or they have launched the odd viral video on YouTube. They have claimed these as a success, but in reality these metrics should never be the end goal. "

  • A relatively small number of companies have pushed things further and achieved real, transformational results
  • Most large enterprise clients I meet acknowledge that the age of social media experimentation is now coming to an end. They want practical advice as to how to move from social media experimentation to social business transformation.

"Having had several recent engaging conversations with smart people who I respect, I've picked up a hint of exhaustion around usage of the word "social". Could it be that some who saw the "change" coming years ago are weary of having carried that torch for so many years as we move into the heavy lifting? It's natural to want to move to the next thing—but I'm convinced that today we are largely still talking about the "social media" era. The best of "social business" is yet to come in my opinion and we have a lot of work to do in between."

  • Despite much of the chatter around "social business", the reality is that most organizations are currently dealing with the realities of social media and only a few truly recognize the potential of social business.

"Companies often make substantial efforts to innovate their processes and products to achieve revenue growth and to maintain or improve profit margins. Innovations to improve processes and products, however, are often expensive and time-consuming, requiring a considerable upfront investment in everything from research and development to specialized resources, new plants and equipment, and even entire new business units. Yet future returns on these investments are always uncertain. Hesitant to make such big bets, more companies now are turning toward business model innovation as an alternative or complement to product or process innovation. "

  • In the operations area, much of the innovations and cost savings that could be achieved have already been achieved. Our greatest focus is on business model innovation, which is where the greatest benefits lie. It’s not enough to make a difference on product quality or delivery readiness or production scale. It’s important to innovate in areas where our competition does not act.4

"Part of the reason is simply a function of how difficult it is to do two things well at once — successfully managing the existing business and exploring a new direction. “Although many executives recognize the need to exploit current capabilities while developing new ones, few are very effective at managing this conflicting set of activities,” Johnson, Yip and Hensmans write. "

  • Propositions that may once have been true almost always become less true or even false over time. Market tastes and preferences change. Technology makes new things possible. Values and features customers once found attractive lose their luster. Companies steal ideas from successful competitors. Pioneering practices become best practices, which in turn become accepted standards. The playing field is forever being leveled. Thus, there is an ongoing need for thoughtfulness, reflection, experimentation and discover
  • However, one thing that is universal about Lego’s experience is that the company had to change to develop a new way of doing business; historically a very private company, Lego had to become much more open to outside ideas to innovate effectively with its communities of adult fans.

""Leadership" has changed when a decentralized group of people can take down a government. "The Value Chain" has changed when the customer is no longer just the "buyer" but also a co-creator. "Human Resources" have changed when most of the people who create value for your organization are neither hired nor paid by you. "Competition" has changed when individuals can create value through a centralized network of resources: for example, designing a product from anywhere, producing it through a 3D factory, financing it through community and distribution from anywhere to anywhere.

Yet our business models have not changed to keep pace with these shifts. "

""This business model is right for a company selling Purina Dog Chow, circa 1970."

"There's no way we could ever be this collaborative."

Both are comments I got about my book, back in 2009, about setting direction, collaboratively. The first is from a Google executive; the second, from an exec at Cisco. Same business model architecture, two entirely different responses: obvious or unachievable."

  • I have used the term social era. It's not to create more jargon, it's to emphasize a point: that social is more than the stuff the marketing team deals with. It's something that allows organizations to do things entirely differently — if we let it become the backbone of our business models.

"The real trend this year is not the technology. It’s about helping business people make better decisions, and actually change the way companies do business. Analytics has always been about transforming business, but the recent huge changes in analytic technology have created interesting new opportunities for business innovation."

  • Analytics technology has been changing fast. On the back end, new technologies have come together to provide what Gartner calls “extreme data performance”. These include in-memory, column data stores, in-database calculations, massively parallel architectures, complex event processing, Big Data / NoSQL / Hadoop, and cloud architectures.

"Les modèles économiques du 19e siècle ne sont plus pertinents. L’économie des savoirs modifie nos modes de travail mais aussi la valeur et la productivité du travail. Sans pour autant améliorer la redistribution - qui lui sert de justificatif- la prégnance de l’Etat français sur l’économie productive déséquilibre définitivement le partage de la valeur entre les acteurs économiques.

  • Adam Smith, écossais auteur de la « Richesse des Nations », ne considérait pas le travail du médecin, ni du chansonnier, comme créateur de valeur. Pour lui, le travail ne pouvait être associé qu’à des activités dites matérielles. Inutile de dire que ces thèses étaient mal armées pour supporter l’avènement de l’économie immatérielle.
  • Aussi sait-on au nom de la sacro sainte « productivité du travail » réduire le stock de travail dans les entreprises tout en continuant à créer de la valeur. Valeur qui dépend largement des apports de l’intellect des intervenants dans leur entreprise.

"Depuis son origine la DSI a été pensée sur un modèle de solidité, de sécurité (voire parfois de fermeture) et de long terme.[...]Mais force est de constater qu’en 2011, dans un environnement économique de plus en plus ouvert, toujours plus incertain, demandant plus de réactivité et où la technologie est au premier plan de l’innovation, ce modèle butte sur certaines limites. Et la gouvernance n’est pas toujours une garantie de bien faire. "

"This year, leaders of all kinds face a single, critical challenge: building 21st century organizations that yield new sources of advantage, powered by new rules of management.

Here's why - and how to get started.

Tomorrow will not be like yesterday. This is no mere recession: it's a tectonic global shift in savings, consumption, and investment. Today's macropocalypse is a rupture in the global economic fabric - and the next half-decade will be spent reweaving it. It is not a temporary departure from business as usual, an illness - it is a structural transformation, a lasting change. "

  • Yesterday's businesses were built for a world of overconsumption, artificially cheap production, symmetrical competition, and macroeconomic stability.
  • hey look and feel radically different because they were built for 21st century economics, not 20th century economics. They are organized and managed according to new rules; and it is those new rules that make the difference between surviving - and thriving in - the macropocalypse, or being vaporized by it.

Instead of thinking about innovation merely in terms of what you provide (i.e. your products and services), you should be looking at ways to innovate across the entire business model in an effort to meet important customer needs in unconventional ways.

According to Harvard Business School professor Karim R. Lakhani, Boeing's approach is an excellent example of how not to manage external innovation. The right way to do it is the subject of an article in the current issue of MIT Sloan Management Review by Lakhani and collaborator Kevin J. Boudreau (London Business School), "How to Manage Outside Innovation" (free registration required).

  • The solution then is to connect with external innovators and invite them to participate with you on your critical problems. Of course, the Internet and the massive reduction in communication and computation costs have made accessing external innovators a much easier task than what was possible 10 or 15 years ago
  • More practically, working with outside innovators does not mean that all the "keys to the kingdom" have to be given away. Instead, firms can become intelligent about selectively revealing core issues in ways that their IP is protected. Firms like Procter & Gamble and IBM have learned to do this—others can learn as well.

At first glance this can seem to be an impersonal and inhuman concept as the network expands to surround everything and dominate the participation that so far at least is still driven (for a little bit longer anyway) by what people do and contribute online. However, this bleak vision is tempered by the realization that far from being pushed to the side, we collectively must be the feedback loop that guides Web Squared through billions of daily interactions that makes it possible in the first place. It's the full environment, including us, which makes it all work.

I think of Enterprise 2.0 adoption as a journey through a succession of benefits. I've illustrated them in what I call the "Social Software Value Matrix." The first step in the journey is pure operational improvement. You're not really changing the way you do business, just enhancing existing interactions within existing silos. Over time, the tools lead employees to interact in new ways, across silos. This creates cultural change as the company reinvents the way the different pieces of the business interact to create value. Finally, and most dramatically, companies can create new interactions with customers and channel partners. That's business model transformation, and it only happens when your business is ready for it.

There is nothing like a crisis to clarify the mind. In suddenly volatile and different times, you must have a strategy. I don’t mean most of the things people call strategy—mission statements, audacious goals, three- to five-year budget plans. I mean a real strategy.

For many managers, the word has become a verbal tic. Business lingo has transformed marketing into marketing strategy, data processing into IT strategy, acquisitions into growth strategy. Cut prices and you have a low-price strategy. Equating strategy with success, audacity, or ambition creates still more confusion. A lot of people label anything that bears the CEO’s signature as strategic—a definition based on the decider’s pay grade, not the decision.

  • The wrong way forward in a structural break during hard times is to try more of the same. The break and the hard times are sure indications that an old pattern has already been pushed to its limits and is destroying value.
  • Complexity also manifests itself in the soaring volume of e-mail. Philip Su, a Windows Vista software engineering manager, reports that the intensity of coordination on this project created “a phenomenon by which process engenders further process, eventually becoming a self-sustaining buzz.”

The need for boardrooms to to reconceive and reinvent business was never more urgent than it is today - because the clock is ticking. The new rules we've discussed at length over the last year or so aren't the only ones out there: there are plenty more in store for radical innovators. But the time to do so is now: by the end of 2009, our expectation is that organizations that aren't powered by at least 2-3 new rules will start going slowly but surely extinct.

While Western economies are slipping into a recession, India's own economy is showing no sign of fatigue and is poised to expand at 7.5-8% in 2008. As a result, all the Indian CEOs I interact with are actively seeking to innovate and transform their products, services, processes, and even business models in order to drive global competitive advantage. And they are willing to harness cutting-edge technologies to fine-tune their market offerings, operating models, and customer engagement scenarios.

1) Underinvest in innovation (note the relatively small scale involved).
2) Overinvest in consolidation.
3) Make profit an illusion.
4)Defend obsolete business models.
5) Be willing to sell everything out - everything.
6) Never count tomorrow's costs.
7) Build industries around the cult of the deal.
8) Turn corporate governance into the costliest activity in the economy.
9) Forget that the point of business is to change the world for the better.
10) Expropriate wealth from taxpayers to subsidize market failure.
11) Expropriate rights from people to embed failure into the very structure of the market.
12) Pump more liquidity into decaying DNA.
