"Surprisingly short, it turns out. In a recent talk, John Hagel pointed out that the average life expectancy of a company in the S&P 500 has dropped precipitously, from 75 years (in 1937) to 15 years in a more recent study. Why is the life expectancy of a company so low? And why is it dropping?"

It’s time to think about what companies really are, and to design with that in mind. Companies are not so much machines as complex, dynamic, growing systems. As they get larger, acquiring smaller companies, entering into joint ventures and partnerships, and expanding overseas, they become “systems of systems” that rival nation-states in scale and reach.

Ecosystems: Long-lived companies were decentralized. They tolerated “eccentric activities at the margins.”

"The tools, technologies, and methods we deploy in business are used as they cause the business (the asset) to perform better: bottom line down or top line up, simple stuff. This seems to have been forgotten. Some of the newer tools – such as social business design – can add value in this content, but they are only tools. If they make sense and add value, then they will be adopted. If not, then they will wither and die. For many companies, it looks like they will only provide marginal utility."

many marketing machines and practitioners have forgotten that for these tools to be adopted they need to add value, and that it’s hard for them to add value in the command-and-control structures that exist in most companies.

They’re focused on managing that central asset and there is currently no proof that these new techniques can do that any better than existing practices. As Dennis pointed out, the kinds of management structures to use these new tool in this context don’t currently exist.

"Business Partner Optimization is a re-thinking of the external non-customer relationships that your organization requires to get business done."
"This is why Social Business Design matters, allowing companies to:
* Articulate the approach to creating a social business: “intentional creation of dynamic and socially calibrated systems, process, and culture.”
* Utilize a mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive framework for analyzing the current state of business via four archetypes: ecosystem, hivemind, dynamic signal, and metafilter.
* Outline how functions can apply social business principles within their areas of practice: customer participation, workforce collaboration, and business partner optimization."
En ce moment c’est la saison des conférences et l’actualité est particulièrement riche cette semaine avec la 140 Characters Conference à New York et l’Enterprise 2.0 Conference à Boston. Médias sociaux et entreprise 2.0… deux domaines qui suscitent beaucoup de bruit et de créativité mais qui ne se mélangent pas. Une des raisons principale qui fait que ces deux domaines sont jusqu’à présent restés hermétiques est parce qu’ils répondent à des objectifs différents et surtout fonctionnent différemment (notamment dans la motivation et les dynamiques sociales sui régissent les interactions).
C’est dans ce contexte que le Social Business Design fait son apparition avec l’ambition d’unifier ces deux pratiques en une sorte de Théorie du Tout : From Social Media To Social Business Design.
While I can't go into the full vision of what we're thinking about yet—we're realizing that the bigger picture goes beyond how you can be a great tweeter, blogger or social media evangelist for your organization. It's time to think beyond marketing and building personal brands and time to think about how participation through social technologies can lead to emergent outcomes for any organization. Can "social media" save GM? It's unlikely that media can save any organization grappling with changes in their business environment. But what if organizations of that size were able to act preemptively before market conditions forced them into similar predicaments?

If the big picture is business transformation, it's going to take more than a few tweets to get there.
