The document provides 6 tips for entrepreneurs to avoid valuation traps and develop an accurate 20/20 value vision for their business. The two most prevalent flaws are perceptual fixation, where opportunities and threats are misjudged, and perceptual weakness, where key value drivers are missed. The tips recommend building an agile organization, stitching together a bundle of value drivers to create barriers, anchoring value elements, finding complementary puzzle pieces in other businesses, considering changing market conditions, and understanding where true control lies. Developing a full strategic growth plan can help entrepreneurs identify their accurate business value.

Venice Sessions IV - David Weinberger - Between Media and Worldvenice sessions
The document summarizes David Weinberger's views on how the internet is changing media and our relationship to information. Some key points are:
1) The web is not a single medium, but rather allows content to be disassociated from any single medium and spread across many mediums through hyperlinks.
2) In the hyperlinked, abundant world of the internet, metadata about content is becoming more valuable than the content itself for finding and understanding information.
3) Traditional sources of authority like experts, canonical texts, and certified answers are being supplemented or replaced by new forms of authority derived from user contributions, tags, comments, and social networks.

Venice Sessions 3 - Charles Fine Arts Over IPvenice sessions
This document discusses the opportunities and risks of distributing arts content over the internet (AoIP). It reviews various types of over-the-internet protocols (oIPs) such as voice, music, television, newspapers, and sports. It presents dynamic models showing how internet distribution can grow markets but also reduce revenue for traditional distributors. While internet viewing increases overall demand, it may decrease demand for live performances and cause revenue losses. The document concludes that modeling value dynamics is useful for the arts sector and that innovative business models are needed to determine fair revenue sharing as broadband providers benefit from increased internet usage.
