It’s now possible to look at a smartphone and unlock it via facialrecognition, and then talk to it to ask it to find the nearest bank ATM.However, at the same time, we see that the technology is not quite thereyet. We might have to remove our glasses for the facial recognition towork, our smartphones don’t always understand us when we speak, andthe location-sensing technology sometimes has trouble finding us.- Gartner Hype Cyclee on Emerging Technologies, July 2012http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=2124315

Hurdles and Barriers “Too much data is causing problems, and the inability to link that data to other sources (specifically revenue figures and brand tracking).” “Perceived scope and scale of change needed, lack of willingness to do it, lack of champion support within the organisation.” “Lack of expertise and understanding of systems, differences in opinion and lack of clarity of overarching objectives within international businesses.” “Theres a long list of data related activities and social is just one of them... I guess we are yet to believe there is a strong ROI behind social media integration which is keeping this low down the priority list.”eConsultancy/Adobe Quarterly Digital Intelligence Briefing: Managing and Measuring Social, September 2012http://econsultancy.com/uk/reports/quarterly-digital-intelligence-briefing

#SocialEra ? Companies cannot survive (let aloneprosper) without recognizing that Socialas a phenomenon can allow us toredefine our organisations to beinherently more fast fluid and flexible byits very design. Not by doing a little bitmore, or slimming down a bit here orthere, or by doing a few things a little bitfaster. No. We will not tweak our way intothe future.Nilofer Merchant, author, “11 Rules forCreating Value in the Social Era”http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/09/traditional_strategy_is_dead_w.html

Ceding Control “It’s a dilemma for some organisations. Where everything is so informal and instant, what do you do about processes where you must keep records for compliance or regulatory reasons? We are going to have to figure out a newer way of doing things that enables us to match the expectations of everyone, young and old, a way that is not painful.” “The ability for citizens to be able to connect with each other and with governments through online connectivity is a positive force in a democracy. The new ways provide significant benefits for governments, if they accept the fact that empowered, more informed people make a far better part of the process through which information is shared, and knowledge increased.”http://www.siliconrepublic.com/digital-21/item/28627-ceding-control-in-the-age/
