1. Wikinomics Winning With The Enterprise 2.0 Don Tapscott don@newparadigm.com Enterprise 2.0 June 20, 2007 Transcript: STEVE WYLIE: Out next speaker is Don Tapscott, who is Chief Executive of New Paradigm, a company he co-founded in 1993. Don is one of the world's leading authorities on business strategy and organizational transformation. He's authored or co-authored over 11 books to date, and his new book is called Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything. A couple of factoids on the new book, Wikinomics. It's been out for about ﬁve months now, and for most of that time it's been on several best selling lists including the New York Times best selling list. And it's currently being translated into 19 different languages. So it's a privilege to have Don joining us today. Please welcome Don Tapscott. DON TAPSCOTT: Thanks, Steve. I think I'm going to stand down here, if that's okay. It sort of feels a bit like the Politburo up here. I'm delighted to be here, and I really mean that actually. Last night I took the 15-hour ﬂight from LA to New York and arrived in New York at 4:00 am. But I think sleep is a highly overrated thing anyway, along with protein, other stuff like that. I'm seriously delighted to be here because I buy totally this idea that the enterprise is moving into a second generation. And it's wonderful that there's a conference that's exploring these issues. 1

2. The New Enterprise Source: Paradigm Shift: The New Promise of Information Technology, 1992 Closed Hierarchy Open Networked Enterprise Structure Hierarchical Networked Scope Internal/closed External/open Resource Focus Capital Human, information State Static, stable Dynamic, changing Personnel/focus Managers Professionals Key drivers Reward and punishment Commitment Direction Management commands Self-management Basis of action Control Empowerment to act Individual motivation Satisfy superiors Achieve team goals Learning Specific skills Broader competencies Basis for compensation Position in hierarchy Accomplishment, competence level Relationships Competitive (my turf) Cooperative (our challenge) Employee attitude Detachment (it’s a job) Identification (its’ my company) Dominant requirements Sound Management Leadership 2 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: This idea that there's a new enterprise, of course, is not a new one. It's been around for quite a while. This is one of my favorite views of the shifts that are underway. We're moving from a closed hierarchical structure where the focus was on capital and physical goods and you tried to be a good manager and you moved up your position in the hierarchy to a new kind of open, networked enterprise that is modular and it's dynamic and ﬂexible and it reaches outside the boundaries of a corporation. One of the reasons I like this particular view so much is because it's from my 1992 book, Paradigm Shift. So nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come again. And seriously now that we have the new web, there's a big change that's underway in the deep structures in the architecture of the corporation. And I started studying this about four years ago. I did a $7-million-dollar research project. It's called the Enterprise 2.0, Winning with the Enterprise 2.0. And it was inspired by a debate I had with a guy named Nicholas Carr, who some of you may know. He wrote an article on HBR called IT Doesn't Matter. And I've debated the guy probably eight or ten times. And he's got a very slick argument that IT has become a commodity, and everybody has it, so therefore it undermines competitive differentiation as opposed to contributing to it. And he's a very good debater, and it's a powerful argument. I have a big advantage in these debates in that he's wrong. But it inspired me to launch a syndicated research project. And we brought together a couple of dozen companies, and they each kicked in $200,000 or $300,000, and we did a big investigation. 2

5. Time’s Person of the Year 5 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: Let me begin by congratulating each of you personally on having been selected by Time Magazine as the Person of the Year. Well done to all of you. In fact I think you should give yourself a big round of applause. Very good. Well, it's true social networking is exploding. I was at My Space yesterday; MySpace is growing at 2-million members a week, new registrants. Eighty-ﬁve percent of all college students in the United States are in Facebook. There's a new blog created every second of the day, 24 hours of the day, and Time says you, the online collaborator, are the person of the year. 5

6. Four Drivers for Change WEB 2.0 Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 6 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: Well, to me that's so 2006, basically, because what's happening now is, this is not just about hooking up online or creating a new gardening community or uploading a video onto YouTube. The web is becoming a new mode of production. And it's beginning to fundamentally change the way that we orchestrate capability and society to create goods and services. It's changing the deep structures and architecture of the corporation. And I think this is the biggest change probably in a century, and it's appropriate to call this the second generation of the corporation. So what's going on here? Well, ﬁrst of all we do have the Web 2.0, and this ain't your daddy's internet. It's a discontinuous change from the old web. 6

And it was about data and text with some graphics. And it was based on HTML, which was the standard for the presentation of information. That's why during the dot-com period everybody talked about websites and eyeballs and stickiness and clicks and page views -- because that's what the web was about, presenting information. The new web is based on XML, and that's a standard not for presentation, but for computation. The web is becoming a giant global computer and it's enriched with services. And every time you go onto the new web and you do something, you are in effect programming the internet. You know, Thomas Watson was famously to have said in the ﬁfties that the world will only need ﬁve computers. Actually there's no evidence he said that, but if he did he would have been terribly wrong. He would have been off by four because essentially we have a giant global computational platform that enables self-organization, and that's a huge change. There are all kinds of other changes; I don't have time to go into them. But you don't just access the web through a PC; you access through billions and trillions of inert objects in our world that become smart communicating devices. Call it The Thing. You know, I'm typically covered in these things. My hotel room last night, the door was a smart communicating device. It has a chip in it; it has knowledge. And in this particular hotel the door had an IP address. I actually had a camera stolen from a hotel room in Miami and the door knew about me. It knew who had been in and out of the room. That's got the same storage capacity as the data center where I started working at Bell Labs in the 70s. I mean, I have a 7 friend in Toronto. Everything that's hosted has electrical power, has an IP address, and all this stuff talks to itself. And I'm not sure what his microwave says to his fridge, although he says it's got something to do with cooking a

8. Four Drivers for Change WEB 2.0 THE NET GENERATION 8 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: Point two is the new web is intersecting with the demographic revolution. Who here has children under the age of 29? Hands, please. Okay, those who put up their hands, which of those kids use a computer connected to the internet? Hands? Okay, same group puts up their hand twice. We have the ﬁrst generation to grow up digital, and these kids are different. And I started studying these kids about 11 or 12 years ago when I noticed how my own children were effortlessly able to use all this sophisticated technology. And at ﬁrst I thought, my children are prodigies. And then I noticed that all their friends were like them, and the theory that all their friends were prodigies, well, that was a bit of a stretch. 8

9. The Demographic Revolution Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 9 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: So I started looking at them as a generation, and I wrote a book about ten years ago called Growing Up Digital. And I came to the conclusion that these kids have no fear of technology because it's not technology to them; it's like the air. And this is a huge change because this is the biggest generation ever. The baby-boom echo. Today age 13 to 28 years of age, there are 80 million of them in the United States alone. This is bigger than the boom. The echo is louder than the original boom.

10. Digital Natives – The Net Generation Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 10 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: And furthermore this is the ﬁrst time in human history when children are an authority about something really important. I was an authority on model trains when I was a kid. Today the 11-year-old at the breakfast table is an authority on something really important. And time online has not taken away from hanging out with your friends, learning the piano, talking to your parents or doing your homework; it's taken away from television, right. TV took away 24 hours of the week per baby-boomer for their parents. And these kids watch less TV and then watch it differently. They come home and they don't turn on the TV; they turn on the computer. And they're in three different windows and they're listening to MP3 ﬁles and talking on the phone; they've got a video game going and three magazines open, and they're doing their homework. And, yes, the TV may be going on in the background. But what's going on is that rather than being the passive recipients of somebody else's broadcast video, what are they doing? You know, they're reading, they're thinking, they're organizing and collaborating and composing their thoughts. They're remembering things. 10

11. The Generation Lap Web 2.0 The Net Generation N-Geners Their Parents The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 11 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: And rather than a generation gap like we had in the 60s, big differences between kids and parents over values and lifestyle and so on, kids and parents get along pretty well today. What we have is what I call a generation lap where kids are lapping their parents on the info track. And if you have a teenager in your house, you know what I'm talking about. Who does the systems administration in your home? 11

12. The Net Generation Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution Video available for viewing online at www.newparadigm.com 12 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: So this is a panel -- I chaired this panel. It was at the World Congress of Information Technology last year in Austin, Texas for kids, and this was in front of several thousand people. And this by the way was the highest rated session of over 100 at the conference. Got an emotional standing ovation. Out of the mouths of babes. You can just go there and watch the panel. I don't have time to tell you about it, but I'll give you one little snippet. On the left there is Rahaf Harfoush. She's a 20-year old Syrian studying in Paris, the Sorbonne. Her boyfriend's in Toronto. To keep their relationship going, they turn on video Skype all day long. They cook together and do their homework together and stuff like that. She doesn't have a Sling Box, so he turns on the web cam onto Desperate Housewives so she can watch her favorite show. So I asked her, I asked her, do you kids use email? And she said, well, not really; that's kind of like yesterday's technology. And I said, well, what do you use? She says, well, we use Skype and instant messaging and Facebook. I mean, everybody's on Facebook. And I said, well, if you used email, what would you use it for? And she said, gee, that's kind of like a formal technology, say, for sending a thank-you letter to one of your friend's parents. That would be a good use of email. On the extreme right is Michael Furdyk. He's the grand- daddy of them all. He's 24. I've known Michael since he was 12. When he was a 12-year-old, he was the project manager on my website, growingupdigital.com. They made him the project manager because he was the oldest and most experienced on the team. When Michael was 16 he had his own site, and he was getting 20-million page views a month for that site. So he 12 sold it for an undisclosed seven-or-eight-ﬁgure sum. And one of the news reports said it was only a million dollars, and so I sent him an email, Michael, you sold it for a million dollars? You should have called me. And he wrote

13. Four Drivers for Change WEB 2.0 THE NET GENERATION THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION 13 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: You put those two together and you have this social revolution. But there's some things going on here that you might not know about. 13

14. The Rise of Collaborative Communities Flickr.com beats WebShots.com vs. Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 14 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: I could show you 30 charts and they all look like this. They all show the old HTML website that thinks that content is king, and the web is about the presentation of information being eclipsed by the XML-based community that thinks content collaboration is king, and that the web is about creating a context whereby you can build a community. So Flickr displaces WebShots. Author’s Original Notes: This is a great slide to show the power of community. Craigslist.com and Monster.com both had a job ad history. Monster looked a lot ﬂashier, had a lot more tools. Craigslist let the power of community and self organization lead a site with very basic functionality. Community trumped tools. 14

17. The Rise of Collaborative Communities Myspace.com beats MTV.com vs. Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 17 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: MySpace is killing MTV. See, MTV says, no, we provide content, right, rock videos and so on, music, whereas MySpace says, no, we create a platform whereby people can self-organize. There are 40,000 bands that are available today on MySpace including my band, Men in Suits. So, I mean, this is a big change. 17

21. Alex Tapscott’s Wikinomicists Community Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 21 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: So what's going on here? Well, a humbling story. It was Christmas day and I gave my son Alex -- he's 20 years old, a junior -- an advanced copy of Wikinomics. And he said, thanks Dad; he went off and starting reading it and he came back and he said, hey, Dad, this is actually a good book. Anyway so he said, I think I'm going to create a community on Facebook. So I said, do you mind if I watch? Fifteen minutes later he's created the Wikinomicists of the World Unite community on Facebook. Another 15 minutes later he's got six members. By the time we're eating turkey on Christmas day, he's got 120 members in seven countries, a president, secretary, chief information ofﬁcer, seven regional coordinators. They've sent out a PDF of the ﬁrst two chapters of the book. I've got kids writing in saying, ah, Mister Tapscott, we found errors in your book. And the community is placing demands on me to create value. So, Mister Tapscott, how exactly will you be contributing to our community? And, like, what is this? Well, you know what it is? Think about it. Self- organization -- that's been around throughout human history. Language was developed in a self-organized way. There was no central committee that said, this will be called a pen. It just kind of happened, for English. But what used to take place over a millennia can now happen on Christmas day. 21

22. Four Drivers for Change WEB 2.0 THE THE ECONOMIC NET REVOLUTION GENERATION THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION 22 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: This is a powerful new force, and it sets us up for a new model of the enterprise that's leading to an economic change. Now you may have been reading in the press recently the speculation that this is another bubble -- dot- com all over again, Web 2.0. Well, there's a British economist named Carlotta Perez. And she's studied great innovations throughout history -- electricity, internal combustion, telephone, radio, television, whatever. You know something? They always, according to her, take the same path. You get experimentation, you get excitement, you get investment, you get speculation, you get a bubble and the bubble bursts. And then you move into decades of long-term deployment where the real impact of the technology becomes understood on the economy and on business models. That's what's happening. We had the bubble; now we're moving into decades of long-term deployment where we're beginning to understand the contours of this new enterprise -- how the institution of wealth creation is changing fundamentally. 22

23. Digital Conglomerates Web 2.0 The Net Generation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution 23 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: Exhibit A, the digital conglomerate. What is Google? Well, people say they're an internet company; they call themselves a technology company. They're really an ad agency because that's how they make money is selling ads. But Google is also a media company. They bought YouTube, and they'd like to move all media onto the web. Google is a high-speed networking company providing high-speed wireless in San Francisco, and soon throughout the world. And if you want to see an interesting video, go onto YouTube and just type in my name. You'll see an hour conversation with me and Eric Schmidt where he basically confirms that, yes, they're moving into all kinds of businesses. I mean, what is telephony? Telephony is just an application on a wireless network, right? Google is a retail company because they're selling stuff. Once you're a retail company you need a payment system. So eBay has PayPal; Google has GBuy. Once you have a payment system, you're a financial services company. But they say, well, we're not a software company. Somebody asked Eric, do you compete with Microsoft? And he said, I can't answer that; I'm not Microsoft. Every week they release new web services targeted at the heart of Microsoft. Google is now the fourth largest hardware manufacturer in the United States, maker of servers. They have one customer - - themselves. Football-field-size server farms that are eating up the power grid of California. And forget about ISO 9000; these things are held together with duct tape. You know, it doesn't work, you yank it out and stick another one in. This is a new species of business. We've never seen anything like this before. 23

24. The Economics of Collaboration Self- Organization Web 2.0 The Net Generation Value Creation The Social Revolution The Economic Revolution Industrial Age Traditional Corporation Hierarchy Knowledge Physical Critical Resources Financial 24 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: So what's happening? Collaboration is beginning to change the architecture of the corporation. Let me explain. Seventy years ago there was a Nobel-Prize- winning economist. His name was Ronald Coase, C-O-A-S-E, and he asked a deceptively simple question. He said, why does the firm exist? He said, if Adam Smith is right and the open market is the best mechanism to determine how goods and resources and materials are allocated in the economy, why isn't everybody an independent contractor at every step along the way in production? And he said, the answer is -- and he won a Nobel Prize for saying this -- the answer is transaction costs. But when you look at how he defined it, he was really talking about collaboration costs. The cost of coordination, he said. The cost of search. This is 70 years ago. He said, the cost of search, of finding all the right information out there in an open market, the right people, the right materials, totally prohibitive. So we moved all this capability inside the boundaries of a corporation. Henry Ford had, within the boundaries of the Ford Motor Company, you know, a power plant and a steel mill and a shipping company and glass factory. Why? Because the cost of collaboration in an open market were way greater than the costs of doing things inside the boundaries of a corporation. 24

And in Paradigm Shift, back in '92, I said, well, just a second. I think the boundaries of this corporation are becoming more porous because of IT. And back then I called it the extended enterprise. 25

So the vertically integrated companies continued to unbundle into focus companies. So Cisco figured this out; its competitors didn't. Cisco was successful because it had a better business model. My wife has a little SUV from BMW; it's called an X3. It's not made by BMW. The final assembly of the vehicle is done by a partner in the BMW business web called Magna. BMW focuses on what it does best. 26

So if you can create an encyclopedia with a bunch of people that you've never met -- thousands of them -- and the quality is just as good as Britannica, only it's ten times bigger, in dozens of languages, and it's real-time, it's a superior thing, what else could you create? Could you create an operating system? Well, it's called Linux. Could you create a mutual fund through peer collaboration? It's called Marketocracy. Could you create a physical good like a motorcycle? Well, you'll see in a sec that we can. So peers outside the boundaries of corporations, or corporations acting as peers rather than as participants in a traditional supply chain where -- They were hierarchies, right, and there was always someone at the top. Or peers within the boundaries of a hierarchy now collaborating across hierarchical structures in ways that were previously really unthinkable. 27

28. The Enterprise 2.0 and the Rise of Mass Collaboration Peering 1. Web 2.0 Being Open 2. The Net Generation Sharing 3. The Social Acting Global 4. Revolution The Economic Revolution 28 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 Transcript: So this is leading to four startling new principles about how to run a company. Peering, being open, transparency is now a new force for growth. And you're going to be naked anyway, and if you're going to be naked you'd better be buff basically because value comes to the fore; it's evidenced like never before. So if you are buff, if you're a good company with good products and services, transparency is your friend. You open up the kimono. You kind of undress for success, okay? Sorry. And with employees, customers, business partners, shareholders. And in doing so, all our research shows you increase the metabolism of your business model and you build a high-performance business model and you build trust. Thirdly, sharing. Well, that sounds communist. It's been called that. Sharing IP within the business web or even putting stuff in the commons. Having a portfolio of IP, some that you own and some that you don't own. Well, that sounds like a bad idea. And you can kind of understand the criticism of this. Didn't Linux hurt Microsoft? Didn't MP3 hurt the record labels? Didn't Wikipedia hurt Britannica? Well, what our research shows is only if you have a very superficial and primitive approach. So IBM, one of the sponsors of this event, rather than fighting Linux, embraced it, put hundreds of millions of dollars into the Linux community. They saved themselves a billion dollars a year in developing and maintaining a proprietary operating system. And they've created a platform, Linux, upon which they've built a multibillion- dollar business. And, oh yes, they got to sock it to Microsoft along the way. So sharing is a new theme. It's not about being socialist; it's about killing your competition. And finally, acting global. If you Google the expression Think 28 Global Act Local, you get millions of hits. If you Google the expression, Think Global Act Global, you get a bunch of mistakes of people who didn't get the expression right. It's kind of curious, isn't it? If we have a global economy,

29. Enterprise 2.0 – New Business Models A 50 year old mining company peers, opens, shares its proprietary data and acts globally in a bid to transform itself and explore the extent of a rich new find. 29 © New Paradigm Learning Corporation 2007 -Transcript: -Let me give you some examples, and we'll move on to the next section. There is a gold mining company called GoldCorp. And a banker named Rob McEwan took it over and became the CEO and the principle shareholder -- a publicly traded company. I know this guy because he's my neighbor actually; he lives across the street from me. And he was a frustrated CEO because his geologist couldn't tell him where the gold was on his property. He kept giving him money saying, go get more geological data. After years of being frustrated he was ready to shut the company down. But he's a curious guy, and he went to this meeting where he heard about this thing called the Linux operating system. And he wondered, if my geologists don't know where the gold is, maybe somebody else does. So he did a very radical thing. He took his geological data, which is the biggest secret in the mining industry -- it's kept in safes and high-security computer systems; it's your precious IP. He published his geological data and held a contest on the internet called the GoldCorp challenge -- half-a-million dollars in prize money for anybody who can tell me, do I have any gold, and if so, where is it? He got 77 submissions from all around the world. They used techniques that he'd never heard of, and he selected the three winners. And for his half-a-million dollars in prize money, he found $3.4-billion worth of gold. The market value of the company went from $90-million to $10-billion. And I can tell you, because he's my neighbor, he's a happy camper. What's going on here? He adopts these four principles, right, of Wikinomics. He peered. He didn't say, oh, I need a better head of geology and somebody who can kick butt because the uniquely qualiﬁed 29 minds are inside the boundaries of your corporation. Human capital is your most precious resource. It goes out the elevator every night. You've got to retain it like you retain ﬂuids or something like that. Well, no, no, no, he said,
