- 12. From 1 to6: The collaborative economy is a major disruption • If social media has been big, then you can’t imagine what this could potentially mean to businesses. • In the collaborative economy people are sharing 6 things: ! 1. Goods (e.g. Yerdle, get physical things from your neighbour) 2. Services (on Taskrabbit and oDesk people are sharing their time) 3. Space (e.g. AirBnB, and Liquidspace on the business side) 4. Transportation (e.g. ride sharing rather than buying cars anew) 5. Money (sharing money, crowd-funding) 6. Food (e.g. Feastly, connecting homechefs, or LeftoverSwap)
- 13. How big isit today? • An average car that is properly shared reduces the need for 9 cars. It changes over a million dollars of ecosystem impact. (UC Berkeley, 2013) • 75% expect to share over the next 5 years. (Sharable Magazine, 2013) • In the past 12 months almost 25% have used the latest generation of sharing sites or apps, such as Etsy, TaskRabbit, Uber, Airbnb and Kickstarter. (Vision Critical, 2014) • It’s heavily funded (and will not go away). For example: In June 2014, Uber raised $1.2 billion in it’s last funding round (at a $17 billion valuation).

- 15. Is it mostlya US thing? • No, quite the contrary. The Americans are among those least willing to share. • The Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East/Africa seem more ready to tap the potential of the sharing economy. • Why? Cultural differences around ownership and access, what’s mine and what’s ours. • “The American Dream is not about ownership of products, but just access to them.”

- 19. 3 business modelsin the collaborative economy • Deploy the same tactics and strategies as the crowd and the startups. • Three business models for big companies in the collaborative economy: 1. Turn products into services (rent, subscribe) 2. Turn services into marketplaces (motivate a two-sided marketplace, e.g. Marriot using the AirBnB-model) 3. Activate your marketplace to create your products (everything co-; cannot tell the difference between a customer and an employee)

U-Haul Investors Club •U-Haul invites the crowd to fund their equipment and moving trucks. • People invest in their assets and get a dividend of the revenue every quarter. • They are tapping into a trend that already exists. • They can set the terms that they want (better than a bank). • It’s about the highest form of loyalty.

- 25. The 1st step:Deploying social technologies in your supply chain • Social media is much more than Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. • Internal collaboration (and collaboration with external partners) has a huge upside as people use social technologies to enhance communication, share knowledge and collaborate across the supply chain. • A 20-25% potential productivity gain from working smarter (McKinsey 2012).
- 26. Three short-term opportunitiesfrom deploying social technologies 1. Demand management. What do customers want? 2. Operations/Lean. Empower employees, through the cloud, to share experiences, ideas and problems. 3. Real-time data. Today, problems within the supply chain can be detected fairly quickly. Useful for both exceptions management and risk management.
- 27. The 2nd step:The crowd-based supply chain • Customers to be integrated into every business unit, from innovation, sourcing, production, to marketing, distribution and sales. • One way is to simply integrate crowd-produced goods into your supply chain, like the Etsy example. • The notion of what a company is is being challenged as customers become employees. • From consumers to partners: You need to partner with the crowd. • How to get there? First you start using, then you start doing.
