Web 2.0 Consulting story

“I can’t get WEB 2.0 working on my Windows Vista. Damn”

Kevin Mitnick – nesporno računalniški genij. Heker. Pravzaprav etični heker. Danes zagotovo eden najboljših strokovnjakov na področju informacijske varnosti. Toda pred leti v samico zaprt kriminalec v enem najbolj varovanih ameriških zaporov … Oblasti so ga – kot hekerja – obtožile skorajšnjega jedrskega napada. Te iste oblasti ga danes najemajo, da v vladnih organizacijah in največjih multinacionalkah odkriva in rešuje »računalniške luknje«. Zgodba, ki bi lahko bila filmska. Pa ni. To je resnična zgodba, ki smo jo lahko slišali tudi Novogoričani.

“Neskončne inovacije od nas zahtevajo, da se osredotočimo na neskončne vidike tistega, kar ponujamo odjemalcem in sodelavcem. Čas in prostor sta končni razsežnosti, dirki s ciljno črto. Četudi prvi pritečete čez ciljno črto, na cilju nimate početi kaj drugega kot čakati, da pritečejo še drugi tekmovalci”.

Odlomek iz knjige Funky Business.

Ta razmišljanja so me navdihnila, da zamenjam naslov bloga v terra incognita.

Today I went to see a presentation by Neel Sundaresan, the director of eBay Research Labs and a distinguished research scientist. He held an interesting lecture beginning with an “Ultimate reject letter“.

Next, he expressed Ebay’s business standpoint in a very amusing way, with a funny example. His message was simple and clear – national philosophy doesn’t work in global economy.

Jonas Ridderstrale, the author of modern business Bibles:

• Karaoke Capitalism – Managing for Mankind
• Funky Business – Talent make Capital Dance

is coming this month (20 April) to Ljubljana. I had an opportunity to read one of those books and a part of my brain is driven by this philosophy. His books are awesome, something what modern business people should read before starting a new business.

Don’t imitate – innovate!

Mnogi servis že uporabljate kot svoje primarno orodje, v glavnem veste zakaj, ali pa ga uporabljate zato, ker ga uporabljajo vaši poslovni partnerji. Servis ima trenutno okoli 12 milijonov uporabnikov in pokriva okoli 150 panog. LinkedIN je vodilni servis na svojem področju.

Izpostaviti velja zgolj bistvene prednosti:

Povečate svojo vidnost.

Z dodajanjem povezav si povečujete krog sorodnih duš in povečujete verjetnost, da boste opaženi pri iskanju, ko bo nekdo želel zaposlovati, ali iskati ljudi za nov posel. Več povezav imate, večja je stopnja zaupanja.

“Our leaders in Washington have to put what’s right for our planet ahead of what’s good for their friends in the energy industry,”

Barack Obama

War for control of technology could be seen as a war between machines and people, it’s not nationally or religiously based any more.

Technology has made our lives better, easier, but on the other hand it is hard to control. Revolution two zero is in a way a revolution to get more control over machines, they have to be our slaves and not vice versa. Revolution two zero is probably a hard-won game against technology but attaching the planet to more ecological power has become less risky. This energy is clean, in comparison to oil and nuclear power, and will never expire.

If people sustain control over technology, we cannot be scared of the future. We pollute our planet with dirty information. People’s minds produce Spam all the time. It’s in our nature. What about technology? Can it produce worse, even dirtier information? Sure. Can technology help us clean the planetary mess? Sure. Is technology capable of loving and feeling?

I believe only people are capable of recycling information junk, of turning shit into sunshine.

That is human power!

Globalisation and revolution two zero are opening the world, access to information is bigger and faster, the gap between the developed and the third world countries is growing, but there are fewer undiscovered ways to change future lives. We have the ability to change the future, we have religion, our beliefs and we all want to live in a healthier world.

Live simple.

Komuniciranje preko elektronskih pisem je stara tema, katero skušam prilagoditi na razmišljanje dva nula, prenesti v današnji čas. Komunikacijski principi se spreminjajo hitro, potrebno je stalno prilagajanje.

Napišite bistvo v naslov, uporabljajte tage

Prejemnik mora v naslovu dobiti potrebne informacije, da se lahko takoj odloči, če bo pošto odprl, poslal dalje ali zbrisal. Vaš mail ni edini!

• “Pomembno, preberi takoj!” (Nikakor). Kaj je pomembno in kaj ni, ne odločate vi. Če je vsebina pomembna, jo enostavno dajte v naslov.
• “Sestanek” (Nikakor). Premalo informacij – brez odpiranja pošte ni mogoče izvedeti za podrobnosti, zato je naslov precej neuporaben.
• “Follow-up glede sestanka” (Pogojno). Prejemnik najde povezavo med vašim imenom in potrebo po sestanku.
• “Ali potrebujemo večji prostor za sestanek prihodnji petek?” (Odlično) Informacija odpira takojšno razmišljanje o velikosti sobe, možni relokaciji in pošte ni potrebno odpreti.
• “Hotel Slon, Petek 10.3., oglaševanje, web dizajn, wordpress” (Super) Podajanje ključnih informacij v naslovu samem bo pospešilo odgovor. Z uporabo tagov strnete v naslov še več ali celo vse informacije in tako še bolje opišete, za kaj gre.
