If you help, what I contribute will be better. Value, in the future for a lot of people, will be whether and how they participate in the businesses we run. They will be particularly motivated by group effort. Participation has almost become risk free because the cost of failure [...]]]></description>

Now thats interesting and if the questions are changing perhaps the answers must too! Last evening I attended the www.media140.com event in Bristol, hosted in the salubrious setting of Goldbrick House. A superb, fascinating venue that upstairs resembled a gentleman&#8217;s club, only it allowed women in too!

If competitive advantage has nervously changed its position to one of constant innovation, talent and customer experience, how do we make a sustainable business out of a profusion of ideas?
A plethora of questions come to mind; How do we work co-operatively with competitors? How do we cope with &#8216;open&#8217; and &#8216;free&#8217; systems? How do we [...]]]></description>

All right we&#8217;ve talked about the amoeba like qualities of a business community and why we have to evolve from having a static, transactional based database to a space where people who love what you do interact with each other. Sometimes you&#8217;ll organise this, occasionally the community will organise themselves. BMW doesn&#8217;t organised the Mini [...]]]></description>

Value has shifted. What we valued in the past isn&#8217;t necessarily what we value now! It, perhaps, distinguishes itself slightly differently. It&#8217;s led to some huge value gaps in what we offer as brands and what we expect as customers. Some thoughts:

It&#8217;s easier to maintain the status quo and kill a business, than to change it. The term &#8216;don&#8217;t disrupt for disruptions sake&#8217; just doesn&#8217;t hold anymore. Who gets to say that anyway, the boss, who often can&#8217;t see the wood for the trees?

The trouble with online stuff is we forget how powerful offline influencers still are. You can plot this on a continuum.
