Digital thinking has already changed business in several ways:
1) It has led companies to adopt more horizontal business models that leverage external resources through crowd-sourcing and open collaboration over traditional vertical models.
2) It has made reputation and personal recommendations more important influences on purchasing decisions, requiring companies to better measure and build their reputation.
3) Younger generations of digital natives expect more openness, authenticity, and two-way engagement from companies, leading many to listen and collaborate more with their customers.
Hanson Hosein: Storyteller Uprising Fall 2013Hanson Hosein
With the decline of traditional journalism, there’s an increased need for trusted information and content. This presents a huge opportunity to individuals, communities, companies and organizations. They can fill that void by telling their own multimedia stories and creating their own channels of distribution — thereby serving as trusted sources in their own right. That’s the “uprising” — people seizing control of communication by building ongoing credible connection through story and digital technology. Storyteller Uprising explains why this is now possible, and why you should harness the power of content in your own communication endeavors.

“For anyone interested in media and how it’s being transformed by social media and the digital age, this is a must read. It will also give you unique perspective and things to think about, only possible from someone like Hanson Hosein who has such a fascinating background in traditional media, new media and also academia.

Chris Tew, SVP of Asia Pacific for Alterian, looks at how social media is changing the marketing landscape, and the best way to form a social media strategy
A webinar I hosted on Thursday 26th October talking about the future of social media and dark data. As more customers switch to private messaging apps, brands are no longer in control.
This creates all kinds of ethical and moral challenges, not to mention the creative ones. Essentially, brands now need to provide more value than they capture. They need to give something useful BEFORE they ask for your personal details.
(85% of B2C consumer conversations in some areas are now on private messaging apps and not visible on public social networks)_.
LinkedIn is a terrific platform to publish blogs on, it’s great for lead generation, it’s even good for outreach and brand building. We've gathered up some quotes about LinkedIn from the experts.
A significant brand is a rare breed. Not many of them exist in this world, but when you meet one you soon know about it. Becoming one does not require luck, timing or large advertising budgets. Significant brands simply value their customers more than themselves, and they are willing to do the things that other brands don't do.
I didn’t actually create this list of "Significant Brands” to produce a ranking table, but to spark a debate. These brands are significant to me because of what they stand for, not how much money they have made. After all, isn’t that the real purpose of business… To not just make a profit, but to make a profit that has a purpose?
Significant brands are run by companies who's intentions lie beyond profits. They want to make profits with purpose.
Significant brands stand for something larger than themselves. They inspire and add value to the lives of everyone they touch.
So, these are my top 25 most #SignificantBrands. I've tried to include a few stories around why I think they are significant, and a couple of words from one of their founders or executives. I hope you like them. If you don't, even better... create your own list and post it on slideshare ~ because we don't have deep conversations about brand purpose often enough.

LinkedIn company pages: the untapped opportunity for SMBsScoop.it
Small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) massively use social media as a digital marketing tactic. But at Scoop.it we wanted to understand: how do they use social media? What are their key opportunities?
We surveyed more than 3,000 SMBs over several months - inside and outside the Scoop.it user base. We asked questions, collected behavioral data and discovered intriguingfindings which we plan to release in several parts.
The first lesson we learned is that LinkedIn Company Pages seem to be a major opportunity not yet leveraged by many SMBs. Though LinkedIn is THE business social network, SMBs still don't see their future on LinkedIn yet. They don't seem to have the time, the content or the analytics tools they need to take advantage of LinkedIn Company Pages as an important marketing opportunity.
Here are details on why and how to help them fix that.

Every publisher – legacy media to digital upstarts to brands to social media platforms – is getting better telling stories. All are aggressively protecting and leveraging troves of people data to differentiate and deliver unique value. Learn the ways brands can effectively tell their story and adapt to the modern media ecosystem.
In today’s connected culture, earning and maintaining attention is hard.
Funnels and channels are out of date and irrelevant. Digital is no longer about reach or exposure. Or, it is, but not just about that. Reach is the beginning. Digital success is all about ‘what’s next.’
Building relationships is about humanity: People respond to being asked for help.. It’s no longer about attention or loyalty, its about a shared sense of purpose. From Tom’s to Patagonia, mission is key.
Caleb Gardner, Digital Director of Organizing For Action, is strategist behind President Obama’s digital relationship-building operation. He joins Barefoot Proximity’s strategist Craig Heimbuch for a discussion about the nature of relationships between people and brands and why digital success means behaving more like humans than marketers.
1. How should marketers and movements think about strategy in today’s digital climate? Do traditional funnels and channel thinking still matter?
2. Why is asking for help more important than offering something for free? And how does digital ubiquity make it easier to create real relationships at scale?
3. Why does reach matter less than depth? How can brands and movements benefit from the thinking that 60M followers don’t matter?

Google Firestarters Conference: An Emerging Agency OSMartin Bailie
An Emerging Agency OS
@martinbailie
what's broke?
-Our focus:
outcomes have become divorced from outputs
clients seek a profitable growth outcome, agencies seek rewards from a famous output
Clients like increased profit, agencies like making things
Consequently, clients don't always value the same things as agencies do
Replacing a client with a new one easily costs £100k or more. Our failure to align is eating into our profit and morale.
-Our business model:
Agencies have two masters but only get paid by one.
Agencies are addicted to short term client cash whereas consumers offer an additional revenue stream.
Spend will slowly flow away from agencies to cheaper crowd and outsourced services. All areas will be affected, from strategy modeling, to production, to optimisation to ideas.
As marketing, products, services and media merge, agencies, with new partners, will be able to service consumers as well as clients.
what's the need?
Client needs are simple: Clients need Ideas, Innovation and (real time) Intelligence to power sales.
Agency needs are to attract best talent and to increase revenue to pay for that talent and any (currently lacking) R&D
-Talent: Agencies are full of inventive and productive people but servicing clients full-time undermines motivation. If they are to be kept in agencies, agencies will need to find better ways to fulfil them.
-Revenue: Agencies have loads of ideas but make too few. We can divorce ourselves of client only revenue by exploiting our existing ideas and engaging new partners to fund and develop our ideas to successful launch and customer revenue.
what are the trends?
Two agency types are emerging - those that value outcomes, and those that value outputs:
1) Outcomes agencies will worship effectiveness and will be built around the client's business. They will become convergence consultants to deliver Ideas, Innovation and Intelligence (from any source) to grow client profit over time.
2) Output agencies will continue to generate big ideas, they will create fame for clients but will also develop new revenue streams for those ideas from direct to consumer products and services, thereby beating their addiction to short term client cash
All agencies need an AgencyOS – a data driven platform and structural/organising principle to deliver real time insight, development and optimisation.
The most successful agencies will deliver both ideas and effectiveness. But those will be rare as the increase of channels and approaches continues.
Implications
1. the agencies closest to the data will lead their agency partners. The most successful agencies will combine ideas and data talent in equal measure.
2. in client organisations, the older generations will cede control to younger managers investing ahead of the curve for the real time and digital future that’s unfolding. This will come too slowly for some. Those that don't answer customer’s immediate needs will quickly lose customers.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
