"

Online, we often talk about listening to our customers on social channels to help make content decisions in marketing. Moving to a fully integrated marketing picture for enterprise, using social media to compliment traditional market and product development research only makes sense. The very nature of uncontrolled conversations empowers customers to communicate and yield unthought-of insights and new product directions.

However, most companies are still at the basic point of simply making Facebook and Twitter work, much less mastering content for marketing or social web-wide conversations. In fact, last autumn’s Global CMO Study from IBM confirmed that most enterprises just aren't there yet."

    • While 82% of CMOs plan to increase social media use during the next three to five years, only 26% are currently tracking blogs, 42% are tracking third-party reviews, and 48% are tracking consumer reviews to help shape their marketing strategies.
    • 56% of CMOs view social media as a key engagement channel, but they still struggle with capturing valuable customer insight from the unstructured data that customers and potential customers produce.
  • The process can be broken into two main areas: 1) building listening stations and dashboards on relevant topics, and 2) sifting through the data to find actionable intelligence.

"Big data, unstructured data, semi-structured data. Data is all over the technology news, and for good reason. It is overwhelming most organizations; requiring new ways to operate to stay competitive; helping to serve customers better; and bringing new products to market faster. "

"What exactly is Big Data? It’s a product of the Internet combined with all the new ways that are emerging to gather, discover and make sense of data. "

  • The promise of Big Data is truly mind-boggling. If we can harvest insights from all of those sources of information, rather than being overwhelmed by data, we have the capacity to understand with greater precision than ever before how our world actually works. By applying analysis to data, we can see once-hidden patterns unfolding before our eyes so we can make better decisions about everything from personal financial planning to a company’s strategic direction.

"With more analytics about which organizations need help and which people are available, we could create a true marketplace for people looking to donate their time and skills."

  • Data has the same potential for service. Data can help unveil social issues in a more immediate and accurate way. It can also connect people with ways they can do something, by surfacing opportunities they didn’t even know existed.
  • During the Haiti earthquake, this tool analyzed text messages in real time to direct aid workers to where help was needed. The platform aggregates critical and timely information (or data), and makes it available on a platform that allows people to take action. The availability of this specific data, offered by people like you, literally saved lives.

"I recently read about the Five Top Challenges of Integrating Social Media Data with Business Applications by Elias Terman on the CTOEdge.Now it seems to me that these issues are all, or at least mostly, about how to connect old school enterprise applications of record that deal with transactions and the new school systems of engagement that deal with interactions."

"In looking at different definitions with different perspectives and a business lens, the one above made the most sense to me. After 16 months, it was time to revisit a diagram created for “A Guide to Understanding Social CRM”. I will not go so far as to call my earlier work wrong, naïve is a better descriptor. The evolution diagram contained my thought process at that time. Without over using the concept, my own thinking has evolved."

  • For starters, the term ‘Social’ has become a blocker of progress. The attempted isolation of the social components from CRM do both concepts a disservice. The Social CRM discussion has pushed CRM into a bit of corner. How can a relationship exist without social elements?
    • We do not need to evolve to SCRM, we simply need to evolve CRM
    • To say that Social CRM means everyone is a bit over simplistic
    • While we would like to believe it is all about customer defined processes, it is not that simple
    • To believe that customers can set their own hours is great in theory, but let’s be real.
    • It is not simply about the number of channels, rather when and how people use the channels
    • The transaction will never go away, it needs to become a stop along the journey, somewhere near the middle.
    • CRM does need to become outside in, but it does not need to become Social CRM in order to get there.

"Salesforce’s Marc Benioff continued his now-epic stream of social business thought leadership at this week’s Dreamforce 2011 in San Francisco. The messaging was certainly world class and the slew of announcements this week will address many of the shortcomings or feature gaps in its social software product line. But is a company whose roots are in sales automation and cloud-based SaaS the right firm to take organizations fully into the social world of the 21st century?"

  • However, I’m not quite sure that Salesforce has fully connected their products to it. At least not yet, not in their present form. But they are heading in the right direction faster and more thoroughly than just about anyone else except IBM or perhaps Jive.

"Le 28 et 29 mai, s'est tenue à Mountain View la première édition de la conférence Quantified Self (QS) (que l’on pourrait traduire littéralement par "la quantification de soi" pour parler "de la capture, de l’analyse et du partage de ses données personnelles", comme l’explique Emmanuel Gadenne).

"Analyzing large data sets—so called big data—will become a key basis of competition, underpinning new waves of productivity growth, innovation, and consumer surplus as long as the right policies and enablers are in place.

Research by MGI and McKinsey's Business Technology Office examines the state of digital data and documents the significant value that can potentially be unlocked. "

  • If US health care were to use big data creatively and effectively to drive efficiency and quality, the sector could create more than $300 billion in value every year. Two-thirds of that would be in the form of reducing US health care expenditure by about 8 percent. In the developed economies of Europe, government administrators could save more than €100 billion ($149 billion) in operational efficiency improvements alone by using big data, not including using big data to reduce fraud and errors and boost the collection of tax revenues. And users of services enabled by personal location data could capture $600 billion in consumer surplus.

"La mise en œuvre des applications de Case Management nécessite une approche qui diffère de celle requise pour les applications de pur BPM. J’ai eu l’occasion plusieurs fois ces dernières semaines d’échanger à ce sujet avec différents interlocuteurs aussi je vais tenter de mettre noir sur blanc ma vision des choses."

  • Lorsqu’on pense application BPM, on pense processus. Ce qui sous-tend l’application, c’est le déroulement d’un ensemble de tâches unitaires prédéfini, modélisé, implémenté et figé. Se greffent ensuite à ces tâches des données portées par les instances du processus, des documents, des intervenants, des échanges avec l’extérieur (le SI partenaire par exemple). Mais le BPM reste fondamentalement Process Centric.
  • Une activité est donc un ensemble plus ou moins important de tâches unitaires mais ce n’est pas pour autant un sous-processus. Une fois toutes les activités recensées, il convient de modéliser chacune d’entre elles et de leur associer la définition des données complémentaires. L’application consiste ensuiteà faire exécuter un ensemble d’activités, dans un ordre précis ou pas, pour arriver à la liquidation finale du Case. Le Case Management est fondamentalement Data Centric.

"In this interview, Forrester research analyst James Kobielus talks about how 'social business intelligence' combines business intelligence, knowledge management, social networking and collaboration, social media monitoring and analytics. How can it help your business?"

  • Traditionally, BI has been about reporting, dashboards and ad hoc queries, and it's been about the ability to track key business performance and metrics. Traditional BI has been focused on delivering intelligence from data warehouses and other databases, rather than directly from the other users.
  • Social BI is bringing a collaborative experience into your BI environment, which means that more and more of the BI tools that are available today are allowing users to ask questions of each other and quite often to link those questions to specific reports or visualizations that are presented in their BI environment.

Bon en fait il existe déjà de nombreuses définitions et c’est plutôt moi qui suis à la traine sur ce sujet… Je vous propose donc de rattraper ce retard et de faire le point avec vous sur ce meta-concept. « Meta-concept » ? Oui tout à fait, car il n’existe pas réellement de définition précise, uniquement des interprétations de l’évolution de l’outil informatique en entreprise.

"Investors started the year excited, then disappointed, about the potential of a Facebook IPO and a $50B valuation. But fortunately, the upcoming LinkedIn IPO and its $2B valuation gives them an opportunity to get in the game and cash in on the much talked-about “social network” trend.

The LinkedIn IPO is indeed exciting, but if you are an executive, you should spend more than just your money on LinkedIn – you should spend time understanding how the social network works, and how its model can help you build better applications for your organization."

  • While Facebook’s drive towards advertising dollars might justify the importance of the ‘time in app’ metric (you might have noticed Facebook’s recent advertising addition to your photos?) – LinkedIn focuses on productivity for its members (LinkedIn makes money via ads, but member services and enterprise hiring services are also part of its business model). 
  • Don’t be drawn to the overly satisfying measurement of “time in app” unless your business model is driven by ads; your company gets more value by optimizing your employees’ time.

"Even if you can’t measure exactly what you want, you can learn about the area with related data. You are not able to measure the exact benefit of a happy customer but you can get measures that give you evidence of the value and even magnitude. And you can get measures of the costs of dis-satisfied customers. I just mention this to be clear getting data is very useful and most organizations need to focus on gathering sensible data and using it well."
