Continue to have these presentations on a regular basis. That said, in part to ensure fresh content, I’d love to see more of a focus on your client success stories showing how they’re using emerging tech / how we’d benefit from working with Altimeter. 2. Keep the #futurebiz conversation going on Twitter but broaden its applicability to any new/upcoming marketing technology that could impact the way businesses are run. Spam aside it brought together number of great people & interesting questions. If you disagree with the above, so be it, I’ll have walked away from the webinar with a practical example of failing fast.

Especially the IT infrastructure that can lead to improvements in organizational behavior/culture. Technologies should be view as strategic and transformational tool to achieve business objectives. This way businesses can free up funds to accelerate strategic investments that brings value rather than focus on cost-cutting and efficiencies only. As the technology value stack gets squashed and more business process can be automated via outsourcing, it should allow companies to investigate and experiment on the marketing and service front. Connecting to customers is definitely important moving forward and that requires a solid customer experience strategy which needs more time, interaction and leverage from employees to help find new business opportunities. Just my 2cents, thanks. Jeremiah, I believe that it should start from within the organization to really focus on optimizing resources so there is actually room for innovation.

It struck me during the session that many of your comments about how to approach customers also apply to how to approach your employees. Just as what customers say your brand is is what your brand is, what your employees say your culture is, is what your culture is. However, companies tend to approach customers (segmentation, pricing, incentives, etc.), much more analytically and thoughtfully than they do employees. Thanks again for a great session. P.S.

Exactly, companies must meet customers on the customers terms. You got it.

Jason “Smart Guy” Falls. The devil is absolutely in the details, we’ll have to continue this discussion.

Thanks for sharing. For what it's worth, the takeaway I came to at the end of viewing them was, while I fully embrace and believe in what Altimeter is selling and think that businesses as a whole will greatly benefit from the expertise and direction the group discusses in the slides, the practical application of those theories in many businesses will be difficult. Not that you're not up to the challenge, nor that others out there are doing similar things to push the future of business to a more collaborative, open, but company-in-command environment. But I think rapid adoption in a world where most corporations are run by classically trained MBAs and marketers and bureaucratic systems resist change on scale with Communist regimes is unlikely. Yep, you've already found and will continue to find businesses willing to experiment or even move that direction. But the world won't become a social business ecosystem quickly. Just two cents from a dumb guy. Great ideas. I love what you're doing. Great slides. Thanks for sharing.

I took a lot from it but the one thing that sticks in my mind is "Companies must connect to customers on their terms".(When you say 'their' I assume you're speaking of the customer). I think a lot of business don't realise this fact, especially businesses involved in social networking. A lot approach it in a self serving manor with little or no regard to what the customer/target audience would want. Hence failure! If more people were to sit back and say "What can i offer my customers?" rather than "What can my customers offer me?" then we'd be hearing of a lot more success stories. Nice slideshare Jeremiah.

Charlene had ideas on this during the webinar --igniting the pragmatic in the company is actually your biggest idea. I find that doing a market analysis of competitors actions, and customers actions in your market is a good place to start. Also, don't focus on tools, but instead business objectives. Rob. Thanks, Fail Fast, is what I've learned over the years --comments in blogs keep me in check and shape ideas. Kevin.
