What is a Creative Technologist? [February 2014, VCU Brandcenter Guest Lecture]Rachel Mercer
Edited subset of a presentation that I gave to VCU Brandcenter Master's Candidates in Creative Technology, only a portion of which I can share publicly. There has been a lot of ambiguity around the school and the field itself about their role in the future of advertising. I took a stab at giving them some direction here.

A key challenge in the Canadian innovation ecosystem is developing new models for innovation intermediaries and knowledge transfer. This presentation shares the founder's experience as an innovation intermediary while operating TheCodeFactory business incubator and shared workspace in Ottawa, Canada, since 2007. As a bootstrapped startup in its own right, TheCodeFactory takes a novel approach to business incubation: the business is funded from the
bottom-up by entrepreneurs and innovators. Through an overview of TheCodeFactory's history and evolution within the burgeoning web and mobile innovation ecosystem in Ottawa, this presentation provides a practioner's perspective of lessons learned in an entrepreneurial
business incubator. This experience also raises key questions for future academic research with practical applications for entrepreneurship support systems. In this way, the purpose of the presentation is to help bridge the gap between theory and practice in the domains of business incubation and knowledge transfer.

Oracle, Leader Networks, and Social Media Today recently conducted an online survey of over 900 marketing and technology executives to learn how companies are leveraging social technologies and practices throughout their organizations. Join us as we discuss part two of the The Social Business Research Study, focused on Socially Driven Collaboration.
How has the the relationship between Marketing and IT/Technology groups changed in response to the impact of social business? We explore how the opportunity for increased collaboration is perceived by each of these groups as their organizations evolve towards becoming socially enabled enterprises.
While Marketing has a leading role in the adoption of social channels with a focus on building awareness, the significant operational benefits of increased collaboration between Marketing and IT include:
Stronger and more compelling marketing messages
Faster speed to market
Greater product and service adoption
Fewer defects in products and services

Future of business transformation market research summaryTieto Corporation
According to Tieto’s recent study on the future of business transformation, technology trends such as mobile, social media, M2M, big data and cloud are rapidly changing the ways in which we do business. A full third of respondents expect their industries to completely transform by 2020.
Among the CEOs interviewed, 42% say that the industry in which their organization operates will in six years’ time bear little resemblance to how it looks today. This transformation is caused by technology trends, such as mobile, social media, M2M, big data and cloud. At the moment, social and mobile are the most evident trends, as 54–55% of respondents call them “already crucial” for their business.
About the study
In fall 2013, Tieto conducted a study together with Kairos Future on the future of business transformation, based on qualitative and quantitative research. The study included an online survey, distributed to executives in Sweden, Norway and Finland, with 500 respondents. A majority of the respondents were members of the C-suite or business unit directors. The survey was supplemented by industry executive roundtable discussions, held in Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki.

In the world of the enterprise, innovation must extend from the initial ambitious ideas gathered from R&D labs around the world, all the way through applied R&D with industry partners, and into the development and commercialization of technology products and platforms.
Innovation starts with the spark of the right culture and talent meeting that ambitious and once hidden idea. But it doesn’t stop there. In the world of the enterprise, I see the practice of innovation as encompassing a full lifecycle. It starts with those crazy and ambitious ideas that are then iterated and shepherded through a rigorous process of applied R&D. For the ideas that finally prove their worth, new technology products
and platforms that address significant business problems are created and taken into the marketplace.
I call this multi-phase process: Full Lifecycle Innovation. It is a practical approach to one of the most creative and essential practices in business today:
Transforming Ideas form the Lab Into Marketplace Realities
The practice of Full lifecycle innovation requires a layer of processes, resources and decision criteria – each one a little different for the four phases of the journey:
1. Open Innovation
2. Applied R&D
3. Product and Platform Development
4. Commercialization
At each step, truly powerful events are triggered, explored and nurtured as different players, technologies and ideas enter the mix. All of them are serving the goal of creating something that is substantially bigger and more impactful than the simple sum of its parts. Something that is truly remarkable.
At NTT i3, we believe that Full Lifecycle Innovation is about:
Curating a culture of ambitious ideas
With rebellious talent from around the world
Dedicated to turning hidden opportunities into real products
That make a difference for the enterprise
Maximising the opportunities offered by emerging technologies within the chan...Livingstone Advisory
The Australian University sector is heading down the path of seemingly inevitable and fundamental change in both its operating model and role within society. The forces at play are numerous and diverse, fueled in part by the capabilities of modern technologies. These include factors such as increasing global competition for tertiary students, the shift towards a self-funded corporate operating model whilst having to retain academic independence and rigor – all in an environment of the increasing commoditisation of knowledge and intellectual property through emerging vehicles such as MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses).
In the midst of these structural changes, how well Australian Universities navigate through the current swathe of emerging and potentially disruptive technologies whilst mitigating the longer term systemic risks associated with their adoption is not necessarily a trivial exercise.
In this session, Rob Livingstone offered some practical insights into how CIOs of ‘the University of the future’ can play an active part in helping their institutions thrive in the new environment by maximising the upside potential of new and emerging technologies with known cost and risk, whilst simultaneously managing the multiple versions of reality that exist in the new IT environment.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
