25. ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RECOGNITION, SHARING "In the past you were what you owned. Now you are what you share." Charles Leadbeater – We Think “On the web, audiences are more fragmented. People are using personal devices to communicate. That means, what works best is the conversational voice, a personal point of view, and a mindset that says, “I’m sharing,” rather than, “I’m reporting.” Howard Owens http://www.flickr.com/photos/paopix/

The real-time web of twitter and facebook has brought the cultural latency rate down to almost zero. In response, companies must act faster, responding in real time, to keep apace with its customers.” FarisYakob http://www.flickr.com/photos/bright/

82. “We are edging away from the binary sterility of the debate between mainstream media and new forms which were supposed to replace us.

83. COMMUNITY & INNOVATION OR…

84. IGNORE CHANGE AND CHANGE WILL IGNORE YOU

86. Many are struggling to keep up

87. The gap between the expected level of change and the ability to manage it had almost tripled since the previous study in 2006.http://www-935.ibm.com/services/uk/gbs/html/ceostudy2008.html

90. ACCELERATING CHANGE ACCELERATING ADOPTION Ray Kurzweil - accelerating change is a perceived increase in the rate of technological (and sometimes social and cultural) progress throughout history

95. THIS MEANS INNOVATION HAS NEVER BEEN SO IMPORTANT Participation Value creation Doing things for/with people Tangible value Behavior Interruption Image manipulation Saying things at people Intangible value Perception http://garethkay.typepad.com/

96. SO WHY DO MOST ESTABLISHED ORGANISATIONS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO INNOVATE?

98. 13 squares wide, 5 squares high

100. 13 squares wide, 5 squares high

102. 13 squares wide, 5 squares high

105. …established businesses often use existing cost base assumptions as the start point for innovating product rather than thinking how it might innovate its cost base to enable a totally new form of product…

106. REAL INNOVATION DOES NOT FOLLOW RULES

107. REAL INNOVATION IS DISRUPTIVE “Necessity does not drive invention. Rather, new inventions come along and mess up every one's life. They would, for the most part, prefer that they went away entirely.” Michael Rosenblum http://rosenblumtv.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/the-ice-story/ http://www.savagechickens.com/2007/07

109. So it is increasingly about business-model innovation as well

110. Established companies find it difficult to innovate in this way

111. The majority of business-model innovations end up being introduced by newcomers to the market

112. Many business model innovations do not make economic sense for the business"The issue is not discovery. The real issue is organisational, and the only advice that can prove helpful to established firms is how to overcome the organisational obstacles that hamper the implementation of new business models."

113. SO IN ORDER TO INNOVATE SUCCESSFULLY, WE OFTEN NEED TO CHANGE OUR THINKING

114. WHAT IS INNOVATION? http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabiano/

118. DIFFUSION 'adoption and imitation’ http://www.noahbrier.com/archives/2010/04/thinking_about_innovation.php http://www.flickr.com/photos/airosan/

119. “Since around 2000, we let engineers spend 20% of their time working on whatever they want, and we trust they’ll build interesting things. After Sept 11, one of our researchers, Krishna Bharat, would go to 10 or 15 news sites each day looking for information about the case. And he thought, why don’t I write a programme to do this? So Krishna, who’s an expert in artificial intelligence, used a Web crawler to cluster articles. He later e-mailed it around the company. My office mate and I got it, and we were like, ‘This isn’t just a cool little tool for Krishna. We could add more sources and build this into a great product. That’s how Google News came about. Krishna did not intend to build a product, but he accidentally gave us the idea for one.” INSPIRATION INVENTION INNOVATION Marissa Mayer, VP of Search Product and User Experience, Google

120. A computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from more than 4,500 English-language news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader's personalised interests.

122. THE IPHONE WASN’T THE FIRST TOUCHSCREEN PHONE

123. THE IPOD WASN’T THE FIRST MP3 PLAYER The first commercially released personal music player capable of handling MP3 files was the MPMan F10, manufactured by Korea's Saehan Information Systems and launched in March 1998.

124. ARTFUL IMITATION Whilst it is innovation that brings new things into the world, it is often imitation that spreads them Imitating and reinterpreting the right thing, in the right way at the right time.

126. The inventor who creates the idea

127. The entrepreneur who adapts the idea, brings it to market, and commercialises itEach role is a different task, requiring different skills. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paopix/

141. ONE FINAL THOUGHT Channels blur ‘Social’ is everywhere ‘Online’ becomes meaningless As the web expands it disappears If the information revolution succeeds the standalone desktop computer will eventually vanish. Its chips, its lines of connection, even its visual interfaces will submerge into our environment until we are no longer conscious of their presence (except when they fail) Kevin Kelly http://www.flickr.com/photos/sulamith/
