OVERVIEW
THE SAP DEVELOPER COMMUNITY
LET’S START OFF WITH A LITTLE EXAMPLE HUMAN 1.0 VS. WEB 2.0

communityWeb 2.0 or Human 1.0?
A look at some NIH + Duke Research
Experiment #1:
People play Atari-style video game which allows them to earn or lose money for themselves
MRI scans shows that the pleasure side of the brain lights up – that same part that gets addicted to drugs
Experiment #2:
People play Atari-style video game which allows them to earn or lose money for a charity
MRI scans shows that the altruism side of the brain lights up – that same part that is responsible for social interactions
So to understand how to do business in a 2.0 world…
You do not need to understand the Web 2.0 technologies
You are better off understanding Human 1.0 – not as individuals, but as
hyper-social creatures
LET’S GET A LEVEL DEEPER ON THE HUMAN 1.0…
Why are social beings helping one another?
Reciprocity = a Reflex
Why are people going out of their way to punish others?
Humans have an innate sense of fairness = keeps reciprocal society working
Why do people like to look like others?
Because humans have mirror neurons
Why do we lie to market researchers?
Because we lie to ourselves and others, and we tell people what we think they want to hear
Why there is no real (big) business in the long tail
Because we are a herding species, and a self-herding one to boot
Why is status so important (and why do we hoard it)?
Because it used to get us a better mate – proceed with caution: status works both ways!
What are the important Human 1.0 Hyper-Social Traits
• Reciprocity – it’s a reflex that allows us to be the only super-social species without all being brothers and sisters
• Social framework of evaluating things vs. market framework
• The role of fairness in assessing situations
• The importance of looking cool and mimicking others
• Herding and self-herding(early research shows that social behavior does not change when it scales)
So to the extent that we can basically be human
with what we know, and share it as freely as we
possibly can, I think we’ll go a long way towards
gaining a higher or stronger level of trust with
the consumers.

Hyper-Social companies think differently: a recap
• Think tribe – not market segment– We need to find groups of people who have
something in common based on their behavior, not their market characteristics
• Think knowledge network – not information channel– The most important conversations in communities
happen in networks of people, not between the company and the community.
• Think human-centricity – not company-centricity– The human has to be at the center of everything
you do, not the company• Think emergent messiness – not hierarchical fixed
processes– People will want to see responses to their
suggestions, even if it does not fit your community goals – FAST
“…affinity groups will quickly become the dominant social
force in the emerging world
economy, changing how we think about markets, fads, social
movements, and, ultimately, power”

Culture is Revolutionizing Business – 2008
WHAT IS IT THAT THEY DO DIFFERENT?
HYPER-SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Hyper-Social Orgs – Leveraging Social Business Processes
• Successful Hyper-Social organizations turn their business processes into “social” processes– Why?
• Scale• Increased quality• Increased passion• Increased WOM
Turning a business process into a social process
• IS NOT:– Running traditional programs using social
media platforms – PR by blogging press releases, lead gen by spamming community members, recruiting through spray and pray over Twitter, etc.
• BUT IS:– Running programs based on human reciprocity
and social contracts to get others, whose job it isn’t to do so, to help you do your job – customer support with the help of all employees and customers, product innovation with customers and detractors, etc.

Marketing 2.0 in a Hyper-Social world
• Realize that your customers are Hyper-Social– Find the knowledge networks that matter –
listen to what is being said about the things you care
– Develop content that will travel in those networks – would you send it to your best friends?
– Find ways to help the tribes AND their leaders
• Leveraging Hyper-Social employees– Find the pockets of passion and turn all your
employees into sales, marketing, and customer support employees
– Examples: Best Buy, Xerox, Humana, Dell
