The four "take aways" from this presentation
We can complete an Equity Market revolution in 2 years (after launching in 90 days) ... or evolution will deliver it in about 16 years
We need a revolution in capital markets to:● fund the growth of SME's and deliver the necessary standards of governance,
transparency and accountability required by the market● make sure we find and support the innovation the community needs,● to create employment;● turn around global declining or negative productivity; and ● break through GDP growth cap
Equity Market Wisdom is just a cloud (or crowd) of "things", books, process, companies, advisers and investors achieving outcomes
It's not a revolution ... it's evolution ... the community (or crowd) has been bringing us to this point over decades
Distributed economies, society or communities are today’s structure to deliver productivity, sustainability and growth …
100 year old centralised structures are socio-economically and environmentally unsustainable
Distributed economies (DE) are “a fresh strategy to guide industrial development towards becoming more sustainable. The concept calls for a transformation in the industrial system towards DE departing from the socio-economically and environmentally unsustainable dynamics associated with large-scale,
centralised production units that are favoured by neoclassical economic drivers.”1
100 year old structures from the industrial RevolutionHierarchies use point to point communication and put
2 information elements in the internet
Today’s structureWisdom Networks enable peer to peer collaboration and put all 6 information
elements in the internet
1. Distributed economies – A new engine for innovation, Allan Johansson, The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, 2005 ( http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652604002719 )
People are evolving toward digital "books" shared with everyone, everywhere, anytime across all communities ... and crowd creates the next an era of distributed prosperity!
Facebook bought "brooks" to social in 10 yearsFacebook reduced social interaction to books of “things” that could shared with anyone, everywhere and restructured global social time and attention and achieved transparency and meritocracy in less than 10 years.
Wisdom Networks bring "books" to everything else in 2-5 yearsWisdom Networks will reduce organisations, industries and society to books that can be shared with anyone, everywhere, anytime and transform organisations, industry and the remainder of society within 2-5 years.
Only 30 networks required to achieve distributed prosperity?As few as 30 wisdom networks can transform society and achieve distributed prosperity. Each can be launched within 90-180 days and achieve critical mass within 2-5 years.

STATUS QUOCENTRALISED
INFORMATION AGE STAGNATION
Source: 1 Shell News Lens Scenarios (is.gd/newlens)
Mountains (Shell scenario)"The first scenario, labelled “mountains”, sees a strong role for government and the introduction of firm and far-reaching policy measures. "1
"This is the world with status quo power locked in and held tightly by the currently influential. Stability is the highest prize: those at the top align their interests to unlock resources steadily and cautiously, not solely dictated by immediate market forces. The resulting rigidity within the system dampens economic dynamism and stifles social mobility." 1
Oceans (Shell Scenario)"The second scenario, which we call “oceans”, describes a more prosperous and volatile world. Energy demand surges, due to strong economic growth. Power is more widely distributed and governments take longer to agree major decisions. "1
"Influence stretches far and wide in the world of Oceans. Power is devolved, competing interests are accommodated and compromise is king. Economic productivity surges on a huge wave of reforms, yet social cohesion is sometimes eroded and politics destabilised. This causes much secondary policy development to stagnate, giving immediate market forces greater prominence."1
Who will choose (and create) the future? People, corporations or goverment
We could implement this future in 2 - 5 years
We could be in a "trapped transition" for another 16 years

Punctuated reform(productivity, growth)
"When stresses rise, and a crisis emerges, some actors exhibit relevant forms of resilience that
enable them to adapt and reform. "1
"Financial, social, political or technological capitalencourage early action and result in effective
change/reform."1
Trapped transition(drift, decline, collapse)
"Others, however, struggle until the crisis escalates to a level that enforces either dramatic and painful restructuring or collapse."1
"Financial, social, political or technological capacityprove inadequate to withstand stresses. Behavioural responses delay change, causing conditions to worsen until ultimately a reset is forced or a collapse occurs."1

Declining or negative productivity is the world's largest problem ...incremental investment in the status quo suffers diminishing returns
Productivity is the world's greatest problem!Global productivity declined to 1.8% last year. Stalled or declining productivity is a long term trend.
Overcoming declining productivityWhat innovation could possibly induce so fabulous a speedup in economic growth? It is easier to say what could not. Because of diminishing returns, no change that improved just one small sector of the economy could do the trick.
Insanity of investing in the status quoDue to diminishing returns, incremental investment in information or management technology will not increase productivity.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
- Albert Einstein
General purpose technology drives most economic growth. First generation uses it within the status quo.
The second generation reshapes the status quo.We can't afford to wait 30 years for the next generation
to use the internet to reshape health
Erik Brynjolfsson: The key to growth? Race with the machines, TED, February 2013
"Let's start this story when 120 years ago American factories started to electrify their operations igniting the second industrial revolution. The amazing thing is that productivity had not increased in those factories for 30 years. 30 years! That's long enough for a generation of managers to retire."
"You see the first wave of managers simply replaced their steam engines with electric motors, but they didn't redesign the factories to take advantage of electricity's flexibility. It fell to the next generation to invent new work processes and then productivity soared often doubling or even tripling in those factories. Electricity is an example of a general purpose technology like the steam engine before it."
"General purpose technologies drive most economic growth because they unleash cascades of complementary innovations like light bulbs and factory redesign." - Erik Brynjolfsson 1
The internet is a general purpose technology ... history shows us they have a predictable impact on growth and producivity.
First generation sped up information structuresThe first generation has used it speed up the status quo ... 100 year old information hierarchies. They haven't used it to take advantage of the internet's flexibility.
Second generation reshapesThe second generation will use it to reshape the hierarchy to take advantage of the internet. Wisdom Networks crowd create the Network Society and deliver a rapid jump in productivity and growth.
Information Age ... hasn't been a revolutionThere is no "revolution" in the productivity or growth performance of the Information Age.
Repeating the innovations of the last 50 years deliver 1.8%If we match the pace of Information Age innovation over the last 50 years, we can not achieve a GDP growth rate of greater than 1.8%. We are unlikely to achieve 1.8% GDP growth.
Only restructuring human time and attention can deliver the radical jump in productivity and growth
Only restructuring human time and attentionOnly human time and attention is all pervasive. Only the restructure of human time can deliver a jump in productivity and growth
Wisdom Networks restructure human time and attentionWisdom Networks:
● provide a more efficient means of person to person communication ... and exponentially more efficient means to share knowledge and focus wisdom and effort in real-time
● deliver transparency, meritocracy, liquidity, and accessibility to any community
● you only need one across the world to run multiple communities ... Facebook organises 500m+
Technological Singularity
"Singularity is the point at which “all the change in the last million years will be superseded by the change in the next five minutes.” Kevin Kelly,Wired Magazine
“… a future period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed. Although neither utopian nor dystopian, this epoch will transform the concepts that we rely on to give meaning to our lives, from our business models to the cycle of human life, including death itself.” – Ray Kurzweil
"The technological singularity is the theoretical emergence of superintelligence through technological means." – Wikipedia

Global sectors, not financial centres“The stock exchanges of the future will migrate away from the geographical bounds that the interest groups behind any potential European Stock Exchange seek to retain. Instead of a national view, a sector approach is emerging: for example, investors will not view the market in terms of, say, Germany, Sweden or the UK. Instead, their view will be in terms of pharmaceuticals, IT or forest products.”1
Per E. Larsson, CEO, OM Group
Only need a handful of "macro exchanges""In the Capital Markets Revolution the capacity of digital technology to bring together all fixed points to another fixed (or indeed floating) point means that technology of the internet generation will decimate the world’s existing stock exchanges. Fewer than five major stock markets will remain by 2010. Perhaps two or three of these will be entirely electronic markets which have not yet been created."1

One wisdom network could facilitate a global Equity marketand provides capital, virtual governance to innovation and SME's everywhere
Collaborative Macroexchange combines the transaction capability of a stock exchange with a wisdom (knowledge and collaboration) network to achieve greater levels of transparency, liquidity governance and accessibility for innovation, ventures, SME's and large corporates.
Features added to a stock exchange include:● Wisdom Books provide a comprehensive and efficient
means of person to person communication, displacing fragmented, opaque and incomplete information technology
● Directories (CompanyBook, AdviserBook, InvestorBook)○ tag based search finds "things" in minutes○ self published
● Information distribution○ publish hundreds of different types of information
● Governance○ BoardBook: virtual director meetings○ Memberbook: shareholder meetings (event
management and information distribution)○ RegisterBook: online statutory record keeping○ RegisterBook: virtual company and other
statutory registers● Forms
○ FormsBook: preparation, document execution, contracts
● Collaboration○ Knowledge management○ Task management○ Timelines (audit trails, project plans)
A Cloud based "Collaborative Macroexchange" could achieve a global equity market with a
greater degree of transparency, accountability, features, depth and meritocracy.

Wisdom Networks make use of Internet of Everything (IoE)
What we connect? Everyone can see every "thing" so everybody can participate and contribute everywhere
How we connect? Every community is reduced to 6 types of "Things" which are tagged, linked ,and shared to create
"Books" which consumers push through a process to achieve outcomes
What is the Internet of Everything (IoE)?
According to Cisco, "the Internet of Everything (IOE) brings together people (humans), processes (manages the way people, data, and things work together), data (rich information), and things (inanimate objects and devices) to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before - turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for businesses, individuals, and countries.”
“$14.4 trillion of value (25% of global corporate profits) will be created or redistributed by the “Internet of Everything” (IoE) between 2013 and 2022.”
What are Wisdom Networks
Wisdom Networks organise the IoE using "Things" collected into "Books" so that everybody can see, participate or contribute to each of their communities in real-time from their mobile device or browser.

The "ShareholderBook" and "AGM Book"A Wisdom approach to Shareholder Meetings
The body that probably knows most about annual general meetings, corporate governance and regulation wants the federal government to destroy the AGM as we know it and start afresh with something more closely related to the 21st century than the 19th. If Chartered Secretaries Australia has its way, the tedious ritual and decision making function would be removed from the AGM – no more voting, no more chairmen with proxies in the back pocket making the whole process a dead rubber anyway, no more technical shilly-shallying over motions put and seconded and points of order. The necessary voting functions would be separated from the AGM and handled electronically, freeing the meeting from historical records and process and, potentially, allowing it to become a genuine engagement by directors and senior management with shareholders large and small.
CSA – the professional body representing the nation’s company secretaries - wants the AGM to become more focussed on a company’s future rather that the historical record of the previous financial year. That should re-engage the institutional shareholders and analysts who generally give AGMs a big miss, leaving the floor to a relative handful of retail shareholders and the odd special-interest group with barrows to push and axes to grind.

ShareholderBook(communication before meeting)
The "ShareholderBook" performs the following functions:
● preparation of shareholder material by executive team and external parties
● distribution of digital information to shareholders via "Book" at URL
● online discussion of information prior to meetings● online polls before meeting● real-time communication with ShareholderBook

AGMBook(organising and running the meeting)
The "ShareholderBook" performs the following functions:
● event management and organising the attendance of people - RSVP's
● distribution of information via "ShareholderBook" prior to meeting
● collection of proxies - shareholders link their "proxy" thing to the AGMBook
● results of meeting distributed by simply adding "things" to the ShareholderBook ... people that are watching the book are sent new things immediately

The industry returns to cafes - digital, deeper (SME's, innovation), more functional, transparent, accessible
“London's first stockbrokers, however, were barred from the old commercial center known as the Royal Exchange, reportedly because of their rude manners. Instead, the new trade was conducted from coffee houses along Exchange Alley.
By 1698, a broker named John Castaing, operating out of Jonathan's Coffee House, was posting regular lists of stock and commodity prices. Those lists mark the beginning of the London Stock Exchange.” Wikipedia
Why Not? Wisdom Networks will set fire to your crops and asphyxiate your children!
Reluctance to change“And typically, vested interests fight against change. People that have an interest in the old ways of working, people that dominate face-to-face meetings and like that a lot, for example—they don’t want to move toward some other kind of platform where it’s more of a meritocracy, rather than a personality thing.” Don Tapscott
Lobbying by industry against wisdom“Dear Mr. President: The canal system of this country is being threatened by a new form of transportation known as ‘railroads’ … As you may well know, Mr. President, ‘railroad’ carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of 15 miles per hour by ‘engines’ which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock and frightening women and children. The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed." – Martin Van Buren, Governor of New York, 1830.
Fear, uncertainty, doubt“Rail travel at high speed is not possible, because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia" – Dr Dionysys Larder (1793-1859), professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, University College London“
We are starting to reconsider existing information Age approaches to information and security which will enable Wisdom networks
The citizen owns personal information"Personal information becomes legally recognized as yours While there is a push by the White House and others to implement a consumer privacy Bill of Rights that increases consumer privacy, a larger shift is already under way that will radically shift the security and privacy debate. In the future, you may own the data that exists about you or that you create online, rather than it being owned by the companies that collect it (like Amazon.com, Facebook, Google, and Twitter)."
Personal Wisdom Network shares with larger wisdom networks"Personal data stores protect your information—In addition to enabling you to know about and control your own information, data ownership will allow you to protect your information. Data stores will also help us benefit from our own information."
Access to your personal data is a fundamental human right"When you have legal rights over your information, you have more control over how it is collected and used. This view that data about you is property, and that you own it, is gaining momentum, such as in the United Kingdom, the World Economic Forum, and the European Union’s recognition of personal data protection as a fundamental human right."
The Network asks the individual about access to their information in real-time" ... the network itself will play an important role in improving IoE security. Currently, network intelligence is mostly centralized and often resides far away from the “edge” of the Internet. As networks evolve along with IoE, the ability to make intelligent decisions based on data as it enters and flows over the Internet will be more distributed (located where ever it’s needed). With this ability, security threats, for example, could not only be stopped, but also identified and located before any harm is done.
Answering the Two Most-Asked Questions About the Internet of Everything #IoE, Dave Evans , March 18, 2013
Wisdom Networks deliver 80% of the outcome at <10% of the costt less technologies + more results delivered within 6 months to a global community
● Pareto principle - 80% of the outcomes for <20% of the effort or cost○ an 80% outcome deployed quickly within 6 months○ The pursuit of the additional 20% dramatically increases cost and probability of failure
● Global coverage encompassing all countries○ Each country is simply a "tag" identifying where the "Thing" is
● A Wisdom Network is assembled from open source technology (not built from scratch)○ Large global communities can deliver real-time merit based innovation and services○ Open source has <25% of the Total Cost of Ownership of Proprietary software○ Assembling open source faster than coding proprietary and a richer pool of innovation
● "Things" are simply links of data or files direct from their source (or where they were produced)
○ By linking direct to source, some of the cost and delays of "Big Data" can be avoided. The Wisdom Network just indexes, and does not need to produce the "Thing". Other SaaS can produce or modify "Things".
○ Source include: A "personal data store" on a mobile phone, open data from enterprises and SME's○ Avoid some "Big data" costs: Big data will drive US$28 billion of worldwide IT spending in 2012,
growing to US$34 billion in 2013, according to Gartner, Inc. Big Data to create 4.4 million IT jobs globally by 2015
● Less hardware, software and communications technology○ Wisdom Networks only require a handful of technologies○ Web application: Linux Apache MySQL PHP○ Cloud servers: Amazon○ Devices: Tablets and phones (probably Android because of greater power and versatility)○ Internet Browser:○ Communications: Skype and Internet (or TCP/IP)
● 500 "Things" in one place mean less integration cost and complexity from integrating fragmented, incompatible information technology
○ Desktop and most SaaS applications manage a handful of "things" (mainly "information" and "1-2 "collaboration")

Developing countries can go straight to Wisdom Networks
● Developing countries saved billions by installing mobile phone networks and bypassed expensive copper fixed lines.
● Developing countries can save billions again by deploying comprehensive Wisdom Networks, rather than conventional, enterprise information technology and hierarchical management structures
Questions and answersasked at the @YMarkets conference
Question #1: How do you make money?Answer: There are 30-40 books in the equity market. Each one has a value to the consumer of between $100 and $10,000 per annum. If we assume all books yield $100 per annum, then 1m books yields $100m and a net profit of $60-70m and a shareholder value of $700m+. It is also highly likely, that any single person would use multiple books through the year. The costs of running and launching the business are neglible and it could be grown organically.
Question #2: Regulation?Answer: Collaboration is not a regulated activity. Equity Market Wisdom does not, itself, engage in a (currently) regulated activity. It is more like a telecommunications company that is offering a superior means of person to person communication. It is like an ISP with a superior email. It does not actually store any information and only provides links to it. The law does not hold ISP's accountable for content on their network unless they fail to take rectifying action when notified of a problem (ie copyright infringement for example). Regulation is focused on conduct of market participants and suitability of companies to become exchanges to determine price between buyers and sellers. Equity market wisdom has minimal interest in price (high capex, high regulation, low margin, high barriers to entry). Equity Market wisdom simply reorganises person to person communication within the equity market. There aren't regulations that define how a community must collaborate. Regulations, rarely, required facsimile copies of documents in collaboration although mandating information age technology and structures occurs. It may be that an offshore location becomes a success factor in Equity Market wisdom if government chooses to mandate information age practices which prevents wisdom from emerging.
Question #3: Liquidity?When I was asked this I was unsure of the answer. Given the audience, it was a reference to buyers and sellers of equity. However, there are 3 types of liquidity - information, collaboration and investment. Information liquidity is likely to be reached as people use the books to communicate with others in a better way. Collaboration liquidity is reached when there are enough people involved to make it a viable market to source and provide remote services. Collaboration liquidity is a high margin business. Investment liquidity occurs when Equity Market wisdom becomes a market (in all aspects as idenitifed earlier in the presentation).
