From Old to New Old
A linear, mechanical world view Supply chains Economy as machine
Re-engineer, fine tune, kick start Compete, economies of scale
New A networked, organic, systems view Holistic, complex, self-repairing Economy as ecosystem

People Power
Perfect information shifts power to the consumer = commoditisation
Customers are not eyeballs – they are our guests AND partners, collaborators, co-creators
Our customers AND employees are people
Engage them in conversation Companies don’t serve guests, people do Get personal – with permission, of
course! Get viral!

What do Customers want?
To be treated as an individual To have a complete, positive
experience To be fickle, variable To be treated as a whole person
Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual
To sustain a dialogue, a conversation

Depersonalization of the Personal Computer “If I said to you ‘Can I borrow your laptop?’, it’s
like, ‘My feet are cold. Can I borrow your socks for half an hour?’”
“It’s a personal computer, and I think there’s got to be a depersonalization.”
Peter CochraneChief Technologist, BT

ally? Creating a collaborative
infrastructure Generating reach cost effectively

Community Building
A business-web is a community of enterprises, their suppliers, partners and customers that collaborate to create wealth by delivering sustained value to a customer or set of customers.
Opportunistic, customer centric, fluid, organic, messy!

Final “Takeaways”
Think “infrastructure” not sites Think ecology not technology Companies don’t look after guests
– people do! Unleash the creativity, curiosity
and passion of your people To find the Holy Grail:
never cease asking the question: how may I serve you?
