Business models across industries were being challenged by software, yet tech companies under-appreciated by institutional investors, and people asking “Isn’t this just a dangerous new bubble?” — sounds familiar? The Ecosystem Economy Despite the doubts, technology has been killing corporations ever since: The average lifespan of S&P 500 companies has dropped from 61 to just 18 years in past 60 years.

Dominant businesses used to be resources, products and services companies. The Ecosystem Economy is the next step in this evolution: Companies start integrating core business functionalities with 3rd party networks & platforms. Changing Business Models The impact of this evolution of business models can be easily observed. From Centralized to Decentralized As Chris Burniske recently put it, cryptonetworks are not companies. The three aren’t mutually exclusive.

Growth at Stake. Customer Engagement Lifecycle (CEL) – Tenfore – Digital Marketing Professionals. Innovation Flowchart. Once upon a time many companies were able to manage their whole infrastructure and implement all services alone for their customers. Telecom operators offered the telephone services – including value added services – and tried to make the ecosystem more dynamic with their own intelligent networks.

And they wanted to manage applications in mobile phones too. Banks were able to manage the finance needs of ordinary people, like lend money, pay interests to savings, help with wealth management and handle money transfers. Manufacturing companies had their own machines and IT that was their own proprietary territory. But this time is over, and now companies must survive in the API (application programming interface) economy. APIs as such are not such a new idea. In the telco world we have seen that carriers cannot dominate the business anymore and they have become bit pipes.

Fintech and digital finance are changing finance services. The article was originally published at TelecomAsia. We all want to be a part of compelling creative projects—projects that solve business problems and engage users through meaningful and valuable experiences. However, given tight budgets and timelines it's challenging to create genuinely innovative design, identify gaps in the process, and consider the variety of factors for effective user experience.

To solve these common challenges, I researched existing user experience models or frameworks and found that most UX diagrams are confusing, unorganized, complex, or antiquated, making them useless for designers and clients. That’s why I decided to create my own model. Henry Ford once said … "I invented nothing new.

This was exactly my approach. Graphic used with permission from TheFWA.com (Favourite Website Awards). It was impossible for me to determine if each project was successful or not—effective design requires more than a pretty surface or whiz-bang interactions.

Organizational change management checklist Change management: why, how, what, when, who Companies increasingly face competitive pressures related to rapid and continuous adaptation to a complex, dynamic and highly interconnected global environment.

When embarking on a change journey – what questions to ask Dealing with or managing any type of change is now a common occurrence in most organizations. In recent years, technological growth, the information age, changes in habits, changes in global economy and the business environment have forced organizations to change the way they do business. Change is now a fact of life in today’s business environments, yet the frequency of change doesn’t make it any easier to carry out successfully.

What questions to ask before embarking on any organizational change The traditional skills possessed by most manager do not include that of being an effective change leader. How to prepare an organization for change? 44 Prompts Merging Reflective Thinking With Bloom's Taxonomy. 44 Prompts Merging Reflective Thinking With Bloom’s Taxonomy by Peter Pappas It’s been four years since I first published my “Taxonomy of Reflection.” My interest in reflective thinking is rooted in a simple but powerful statement by Donald Finkel who wrote that teaching should be thought of as “providing experience, provoking reflection.”

(Teaching with Your Mouth Shut) Most school mission statements include a reference to “fostering life-long learners.” Unfortunately, self-reflection is rarely taught in school. I developed my Taxonomy of Reflection in an effort to provide a schema of prompts that could be used by students, teachers and administrators to hone their reflective skills. Seen through Bloom, that’s the equivalent of “Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from short- or long-term memory.” Below are 44 sample of higher order reflective prompts. 1. Student 2. 3. Teacher 4. 5. 6. Principal 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. The above logo is a “Wordle Word Clouds” and it is a FREE service.

Talks from tutors and industry guest speakers on the Search and Social Media Marketing course confirmed my opinion that social media benefits are growing. This is particularly the case if you want to grow a successful small and medium sized business in the UK. Have you observed the size of the phone book recently? It is difficult to find a company today in the UK where digital marketing is not affecting it.

For the majority of organisations, digital marketing is becoming a must these days and we’ve all heard the saying ‘Content is King’. This is so much so that people in the industry are reluctant to say it because it’s so overused. In particular if you are a small and medium sized enterprise (SMEs), online presence can show your business character and help you to differentiate from the corporate masses. At present, one of the most effective ways of achieving this is through the channels of social media.

It is a wise quote from Voltaire worth revisiting once in a while. In life it is somehow true that one has more questions than answers. So asking questions can be an effective way to get out of the comfort zone, improve, innovate and move forward. And in the end probably get some answers. The goal should be therefore how to design yourself in life for continuous innovation.

Innovation is a big concept as well as design. Personal innovation is associated thus with the way one balances the personal and the professional / corporative business world with the development of new concepts such as customers value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in value adding new ways. So the main questions to ask seems to be related to the way how can we (better) design for breakthrough personal innovation? Personal development and innovation management are associated. MindMapPedia - Mind Map Encyclopedia. Value polarization and transcending job commoditization: Expertise, Relationships, Innovation. Yesterday I released a first version of my Future of Work framework. I think that a detailed explanation of the outline framework would be a very useful complement to the visual landscape, and I aim to provide that over coming months in a series of blog posts, videos, and other content.

Click on the image to download the full framework. Today, I thought I would look at the ‘Value Polarization‘ section under Economic Structure. As I have pointed out for many years, one of the major implications and risks of a hyper-connected world is the polarization of value, in which the gap between the haves and have-nots increases over time. The forces of Commoditization are inexorable, and the rise of work marketplaces are driving down the price of many kinds of work.

As I often say, in a connected world, unless your skills are world-class, you are a commodity. The three domains are: EXPERTISE. RELATIONSHIPS. INNOVATION. The future is stark. Visual Thinking Hub. Visual Thinking Hub. In a networked knowledge economy, co-creation is co-evolution. Read this post in: French Our world is changing, so is the way we are thinking about it.

The rise of online networks has not only modified our possibilities to connect and exchange knowledge with other people, but also has it given anyone with internet access a new, almost (not yet totally, but for how long?) Unalienable, power. From charities to tyrannies, from companies to markets, a lot of this power is shifting to citizens and customers. To adapt to this change, organizations have to reinvent most of the ways they operate. SD-logic and co-creation of value Service-dominant logic draws a framework in the quest for such an equilibrium. For companies, beyond profit and other measurable benefits (reputation and loyalty for instance), value means knowledge about their customers’ needs, expectations and uses, which drives further development of better products and services, and better engagement. The dynamics of co-evolution: competition The dynamics of co-evolution: cooperation.

Questions to ask SMEs when developing e-Learning Objectives | Instructional Design and Training.

Questions to ask SMEs when developing e-Learning Objectives Do you have questions that you find help you get rid of the fluff and get into the real relevance of the learning you are providing? · What will students learn about as a result of taking this course? · First, determine who is the actual (paying) customer, and ask that person what they intend for you to accomplish with the eLearning. That determines not only the learning objectives, but what you need to cover and how · I would have the SME answer a basic question right from the beginning: "Why elearning?

" o How is this course relevent to me? O If I go through with this (take the course), what's the benefit to me? · What does success look like to you? · What do you need learners/users to know and be able to do at the end of the learning event? · I often find the subject matter experts find it hard to put what they want people to learn into words. · Focus on the business case, stellar performers (if any) and possible performance gap.

The Stanford d.school, which opens officially on May 7, is a space whose design has been refined over the course of six years to maximize the innovation process. Every wall, every nook, every connecting gizmo, every table, every storage cabinet, has been created with a grand, collaborative vision in mind. Nice for them. But what about the rest of us, out here in standard-issue cubicle land? Are we all destined for subprime collaborative work lives because our office spaces and furniture are so numbingly left brain?

960 Grid System. Company Information from Hoover&#039;s including business report. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, 07.12.2009: Reflections on Surviving Di. Last week I wrote a post on the impact that digital technologies are having on the newspaper, entertainment and media industry in general. It was based on the “Social Media Implications for Business” panel I moderated during my recent week as Innovator in Residence at USC’s Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism. The panelists pretty much agreed that many legacy media companies are going through a kind of near death experience as the industry transitions from analog to digital technologies.

Two forces, in particular, are wreaking havoc on the industry: cannibalization - inexpensive new products that are cutting into their existing revenues; and fragmentation - audiences being shared across the many new kinds of content and experiences now available to them. The media industry is clearly undergoing a process of creative destruction, so named almost seventy years ago by economist Joseph Schumpeter to describe the transformation accompanying disruptive innovation: About | Estate of Flux.
