7 THINGS WE STILL NEED TO DO

5. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to consolidate, there are too many me-too
companies.
ACTION
Look at your peers, join forces, be open.
1. CONSOLIDATION

6. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to innovate our industry, our value propositions,
our business models.
ACTION
Be honest about what’s not working, throw it out, start
over, just be better.
2. INNOVATION

7. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to take responsibility for the crowd compensation
models we’ve created.
ACTION
Ensure they are focused on long term benefit to crowd
participants; aim for more than fair reward for contributions,
they are our lifeblood.
3. RESPONSIBILITY

8. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to ramp up our efforts on encouraging broad
adoption by global organizations.
ACTION
Be a marketer, an evangelist, make ambitious
commitments.

9. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to focus the majority of our efforts on delivering
value to our stakeholders.
ACTION
Be a doer, a producer, follow through on your
commitments, over deliver and walk the talk.
5. VALUE

10. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need to move beyond ‘big data’, what the hell are we
doing with it?
ACTION
Focus on measureable results, sustainable value
creation, being winners.
6. RESULTS

11. C O N F I D E N T I AL
We need more BIG ideas, not more ‘crowdsourcing
platforms’, who cares.

Roll up your sleeves, get to work, think BIG and be BOLD.
Fear is your friend!

MY 3 PREDICTIONS

There will be breakouts amongst us.

of us will fail).
1. BREAKOUTS

15. C O N F I D E N T I AL
There will be the development of new intelligence
mechanisms.
(shifting from big data to intelligence).
2. INTELLIGENCE

16. C O N F I D E N T I AL
First came Content, and then Community, NOW it’s time
for Commerce.
(it’s the next step, products tagged & ingested for
seamless purchase – or pre-purchase).

REIMAGINING, REDESIGNING,
REBUILDING THE ENTIRE CROWD STACK
