"We're at a digital and human crossroads," according to Brian Solis, a digital analyst, anthropologist, and best-selling author. As an early geek apologist of Web 2.0 and social media, Solis saw digital Darwinism as a forcing function of humanity. Now he believes we have unwittingly become the problem we were trying to solve.
After studying technology's evolution, the effects on business and society are undeniable - we f'd up. But it's not all our fault.
By design, social media and personal devices were meant to suck us in. But, there were also unforeseen consequences as a result. We fell to the dark side.
In this rousing and personal anthology, Brian (an eternal optimist) will share the history of how the disrupters became the devils and the opportunities for us to resurrect our idealism.
The Generation Gap is Getting Old - Why Older Generations Need to Build Bridg...Brian Solis
As a digital analyst and anthropologist, Brian Solis has studied the effects of technology on markets and societies. In his work, he observed consistent, preconceived opinions about Millennials and Centennials that are not based on reason or actual experience. Brian developed this Slideshare to give a voice to Millennials and Centennials among audiences who are quick to judge younger generations. When it comes to leadership, there is much work to be done. After all, it's not about "us vs. them." It's about "us" and how "we" pave a more productive, collaborative and rewarding future for all.

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.
Presented by Hanson Hosein, Director, Communication Leadership graduate program at the University of Washington, Host Four Peaks TV, President, HRH Media Group (www.hrhmedia.com)
“A must-read for anyone trying to understand the changing world around us, especially anyone who’s got an idea, product or service to sell–which is anyone in any kind of business.” — Sree Sreenivasan, CNET (and Chief Digital Officer of Columbia University) “How to profit from the social media Storyteller Uprising“
“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. It’s an easy read with important points on storytelling, how it’s changed due to technology but also how it’s stayed the same.” — Craig Kanalley, Senior Editor Huffington Post, “Great Read — Amazon.com review“

How the art of PR is becoming a scienceBob Pickard
As PR professionals become increasingly persuasive storytellers, public relations is becoming a powerful blend of relationship artistry and evidence-based digital science.
Communicating with social media to make corruption obsoleteBob Pickard
"Communicating with social media to make corruption obsolete: applying the technology of transparent times to inspire informed citizens" is the theme of this presentation which was delivered at Hong Kong to the 2015 Symposium of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
The marketing might of modern public relationsBob Pickard
Social media is revolutionizing the way the world communicates and it is powering the public relations industry’s global ascendancy. In Asia, PR has traditionally been a relatively minor and subordinate part of the marketing mix but now it increasingly occupies centre stage. Because public relations is at its essence a social networking business, it is well positioned to thrive in the digital domain, especially in a region where mobile communications are the new marketing battleground. Media relations and publicity will always be a key part of PR, but now creating content, building communities, understanding analytics and applying the psychology of persuasion are all part of the picture. PR will always be about the art of relationships, but increasingly it is a measurable communications science.
Image and reputation in the age of digital communicationBob Pickard
In this presentation to the "Who's afraid of social media?" conference in Athens, Greece, Bob Pickard, President and CEO of Burson-Marsteller in Asia-Pacific, discusses the crafting and co-creation of persuasive narratives, digital storytelling through the newsfeed with stakeholders, producing and packaging content for the new public mind, and how the art of PR is becoming more of a science.

Reaching teens through Social Media recaps some statistics about the teen demographic and social media, share the "10 Truths about Millennials" and finishes up with "10 Rules on Engaging Teens".
Humans devote about 30–40% of all speech to talking about themselves. But online that number jumps to about 80% of social media posts.
Why? Talking face-to-face is messy and emotionally involved–we don’t have time to think about what to say, we have to read facial cues and body language.
Online, we have time to construct and refine. This is what psychologists call self-presentation: positioning yourself the way you want to be seen.
Regarding social media, it's hard to figure out how to activate an audience and find ways to connect with them. Social Media Mania talks about ways to connect online and describes 3 opportunities you might be missing!

How to Free Yourself from Digital DistractionNextiva
Brian Solis has spent his professional career promoting the virtues of disruptive technology to improve our work and personal lives. While the benefits are indisputable, we have, as a society, become digitally distracted to the point that our lives and work have been impacted negatively - decreasing focus, sapping creativity, increasing anxiety, and deteriorating interpersonal relationships.
In Lifescale, Brian plots a course for us to re-center ourselves, freeing us from digital distraction and rekindling focus and creativity.
Watch Brian and Gaetano DiNardi discuss digital distraction and hear critical insights from his new book on how technology is hindering the most vital parts of our personal and professional lives - and how to fix it.

The End of Business as Usual: Rewire the Way You Work to Succeed in the Consu...Brian Solis
A book review by Michael B. Pasco, Professor, Graduate School of Business, San Beda University, Philippines.
It is amazing that Solis foresaw the need for digitalization strategies and alarmed different companies before the great requirement occurred during and after the pandemic. Today, we observe the future of business as being affected by developments in information, as he portrayed.
The reader of the book gains an awareness of the predicted conditions that made them calm, composed, and in control of their activities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. One can learn more business and management techniques from this book.
I experienced to achieve organizational heights instead of firm’s losses because of the readiness, and the processes that Solis guided.
More efficient marketing investments and inter-organizational communication were improved faster, leading to normal business as usual.
While he elaborated different frameworks to justify his arguments, there are a lot of scenarios that the business communities are now aware of to validate his principles and recommendations in the book.
Furthermore, readers can learn that the structure, technologies, and infrastructure needed to adapt to the new normal are mandatory.
Business, management, and academic communities should read this book and evaluate the fulfillment and the gaps between the premises. These efforts will drive the implementation and advancements of different digitalization business models to prevail in the new normal.

"The Memo That Started It All" by Christopher VoglerBrian Solis
In 1985, Christopher Vogler, a Disney story analyst and student of Joseph Campbell, wrote a seven-page memo synopsizing the myth-master’s description of the archetypal Hero’s Journey, culled from thousands of years of stories, myths, legends and fairy tales. It was far from the first time Hollywood heard of Campbell--he’s been a conversational staple at least since George Lucas cited his influence on “Star Wars"--but outside of a few screenwriters, critics and academics, precious few people had actually read “Hero with a Thousand Faces.”
So Vogler’s memo became a sort of a Cliff’s Notes for Hollywood literati and it soon began a journey of its own. Dawn Steel in 1987 asked Vogler for a copy and made it required reading for Paramount executives, producers and writers. Other studio story departments followed suit. The memo grew to a 15- and then a 40-page essay as Vogler continued to test and refine his ideas, talking with colleagues at Disney, friends at other studios and students at the UCLA Writer’s Program, where he teaches a story analysis class.
Writers, producers and actors asked for copies. Among them was Jeff Arch, who, among other projects, wrote the story for “Sleepless in Seattle” and co-wrote the film’s screenplay, says Vogler’s work is “brilliant.” “Every time I write something, I run each charcter throuh the system Chris has outlined,” says Arch.
Finally, the memo made the ultimate metamorphosis; Vogler write “The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers & Screenwriters.” Published last year, the book presents the Hero’s Journey in 12 stages.

The Digital Change Agent's Manifesto: How the People Behind Digital Transform...Brian Solis
By Brian Solis
In a world where digital technology is evolving faster than organizations can adapt, it’s no secret that companies are investing in digital transformation and corporate innovation. But who is leading the charge? Often, it’s the individuals who share a deep expertise and passion for digital. And while these “digital change agents” are striving to bring change from within their respective group in the organization, they aren’t necessarily seasoned or trained at navigating the cultural dynamics that drive change throughout an organization.
With support and guidance from the C-Suite, change agents spread digital literacy, drive collaboration between silos, build internal bridges with executives, and help accelerate their organization’s progress across the “Six Stages of Digital Transformation.”
The Digital Change Agent’s Manifesto is the result of more than five years of research and 30 interviews with those who have led digital transformation initiatives within the world’s most renowned brands, including Coca-Cola, Equifax, FCC, NFL, Samsung, Starbucks and Visa, among many others.
Key Takeaways:
Although digital transformation is one of the biggest trends in business today and companies are investing heavily in new technologies and innovations, many still do so as a grassroots effort driven by expert individuals — digital change agents — across the organization.
Digital change agents are passionate about digital innovations and ardent believers in their potential to help the organization succeed — but are sometimes reluctant to step into a leadership or change-management role
Change agents can rise from anywhere in the organization and often begin as digital advocates — employees who introduce or promote new digital ideas or products — and can eventually progress to experienced transformers
To garner support across the organization, change agents quickly realize that they must acquire basic change-management skills if they are to secure cross-functional collaboration and leadership support
Without support, digital change agents may become disenchanted and lose moral and seek to take their expertise and passion elsewhere
Mobile is Eating the World - Four ways to rethink customer experiences as mob...Brian Solis
Demand more from mobile
When was the last time you checked your smartphone? Was it a few minutes ago? Or maybe it was a few seconds ago. In fact, you might even be reading this article on your phone, on your daily commute to work or in the comfort of your couch at home on a tablet.
The point is, mobile is big. It’s so big that in May last year, Google has revealed that mobile search has overtaken desktop search. Effectively what this means is that we are searching more information with our mobile devices than on laptops or desktops.
For brands this is huge – it redefines the way they become discoverable. However, this also means that the competition to catch a consumer’s attention is fiercer than ever as smartphones and smart devices continue to evolve and take over the market.
This mobile consumer looks at their phone about 1500 times a day on average and they spend 177 minutes interacting with it daily. Their gestures, the way they act, their process to finding information – business are expected to understand that and act upon it.
This new generation is defined by digital, mobile, real-time and an always-on lifestyle. They’re nothing like your traditional customers.
So, in order to understand them and how they think, you need to redefine and rethink your mobile-first approach to customer experiences. Here are 4 ways you can do just that.
Economic and Creative Disruption - Linda Yueh and Brian SolisBrian Solis
In Madrid, Spain, Salesforce and Accenture hosted economist Linda Yueh and digital anthropologist Brian Solis to share their respective outlooks regarding the impact of the global pandemic on the economy, businesses, and human behavior.
During her presentation, Linda Yueh focused on our approach to the current economic climate, offering an outlook of what the years ahead may bring, and reflected not just on how to live with the virus, but how to prosper alongside it where possible.
At the beginning of his presentation, Salesforce Global Innovation Evangelist Brian Solis emphasized that he can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even though his work is focused on innovation, digital transformation and the future of markets, Solis has dedicated the last two years to studying how digital transformation affects us as individuals, as human beings, and its impact on the role we play in society. “There came a time when I personally felt anxious about the daily influence of digital on my life and I wanted to explore why I felt so affected by technology and also what to do about it.”
Following is a report that summarizes the presentation of Yueh and Solis along with the conversation that ensued. The attached report includes 11 key takeaways to prosper in a post-pandemic economy.
Power to the People: The Socialization of BusinessBrian Solis
Exhibitor cover story in March 2011 features Brian Solis on the socialization of business, a topic that's probably more important today.
Social media is infiltrating our societal psyche with brute force. But what does that mean for the face-to-face marketing industry? According to author and digital sociologist Brian Solis, it means we are in the throes of a revolution that will ultimately, and irreversibly, change the exhibit and event marketing landscape.

The Rise of Digital Darwinism and the Real-world Business Drivers for Digital...Brian Solis
Digital transformation (DX) is shaping the future of business. While it can mean different things to different leaders, DX is about migrating from on-premises and labor-based models to the cloud, then complementing migration with cloud capabilities and agility. But to stop there would miss the full potential of using the cloud to enable DX.
The potential of DX is the sum of its parts: “digital” and “transformation.” Explored in isolation, we’re limited to either the constant pursuit and implementation of new technologies that enhance capabilities or a focus on change to modernize and become more efficient and innovative. Combined, they represent the future of business, how it operates, how it serves customers and employees, and how it adapts to industry evolution.
DX is continuous, never ends, and never a “won and done” series of checked boxes. DX is how organizations continually respond to disruptive events, trends, and technologies – beyond IT. The most effective partners in a DX journey explore existing states and capabilities within, benchmark those results against industry best practices and customer needs, and apply those insights to a strategic digital transformation plan of their own.
Future-proofing public sector and commercial businesses starts with future-proofing partner businesses. The PTP is an accelerator to drive DX and business modernization from B2B all the way to B2C. The PTP provides partners with the guidance to accelerate the development of their AWS skills and expertise to better serve their government, education, or nonprofit and also commercial customers’ journeys to the cloud.
Introducing the AWS Partner Transformation Program eBook
For PTP partners to get started, AWS created a DX playbook “The AWS Partner Transformation Program: Setting the Stage to Transformation Your Business.”
The eBook explores digital trends, DX methodologies, and the needs and areas of opportunity for partner organizations. The eBook can help PTP partners chart a “transformation plan” to set the stage for their customers’ digital transformation.
The time is now to future-proof your business to future-proof your customer's business.

Rakuten Ready, the location-centric mobile commerce platform that takes the friction out of the mobile order-ahead experience for thousands of stores and restaurants, and Brian Solis, unveiled a benchmark study enlisting secret shoppers to evaluate the Order for Pickup customer experience and wait times at 25 top quick-service restaurant, retail and grocery brands across the U.S.

“Smartphones and apps like Uber, DoorDash, GrubHub and Postmates have rewired customer behaviors and expectations and changed the game for retailers, quick-service restaurants and grocery,” said leading digital analyst, CX expert and author Brian Solis, who led the report's development. “Brands must now rethink business and operational models to not only keep up with evolving customer demands but also grow new markets.
