Designing experiences, leveraging best practices Fundamentally, customers don’t want choice; they just
want exactly what they want. – Transparent customization - observing a customer and then
designing the perfect good or service for that customer without him or her even knowing it has been customized.
– Voluntary customization - allowing the customer the choice of crafting their own experience
– Best practices - Leveraging the experience of others to jumpstart your own ramp-up and system optimization

Semantic web is to information architecture...
http://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/In addition to the classic “Web of documents” W3C is helping to build a technology stack to
support a “Web of data,” the sort of data you find in databases.

Business analytics Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance based on data and statistical methods. Business intelligence is querying, reporting, OLAP, and "alerts".In other words, [business intelligence] can answer questions such as:•what happened•how many•how often•where the problem is•and what actions are needed. Business analytics can answer questions like:•why is this happening•what if these trends continue•what will happen next (that is, predict)•what is the best that can happen (that is, optimize).[3]- Wikipedia

Challenges
Innovation and change polarizes people - be prepared for positive and negative reactions
Technology adoption cycle -> high adoption, huge drop-off -> right level of usage/stabilization
Initially, the technological discontinuity may have lower performance than incumbent technology. In 1771 Joseph Cugnot’s early automobile was not put into production because it was slower and harder to operate than a horse drawn carriage. Schilling, p. 38

Experience Economy
Innovation translates into profit by moving up the experience chain
Pine, Joseph and James Gilmore. The Experience Economy. Harvard Business School Press. 1999.
The classification for each stage in the evolution of products is:
A commodity business charges for undifferentiated products.
A goods business charges for distinctive, tangible things.
A service business charges for the activities you perform.
An experience business charges for the feeling customers get by engaging it.
A transformation business charges for the benefit customers (or "guests") receive by spending time there.

What is social media?
We define social network sites as web-‐based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-‐public profile within a bounded system (2) ar=culate a list of other users with whom they share a connec=on(3) view and traverse their list of connec=ons and those made by others within the system.
Boyd, d. m., & Ellison, N. B. (2007). Social network sites: Defini=on, history, and scholarship. Journal of Computer-‐Mediated Communica4on
Wikipedia Jan, 09Social media are primarily Internet- and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings.[1] The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, telecommunications and social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and "building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories and experiences. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).
Social media is the use of technology combined with social interaction to create or co-create value. http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2008/09/25/the-definition-of-social-media/

Example of social listening and IBM Rational An easy and effective way to
provide additional value to our customers & partners
Using “listening” tools to follow conversations about the IBM Rational brand across social networking sites
Focus on using what we hear to improve relationships with individuals– Letting them know that we’re
listening– Showing that we’re interested in
improving their experience with our products
Example 1: User tweeted about an issue IBMer “heard” his tweet Problem found and fixed; thanked
the tweeter for mentioning the issue.
Example 2: User tweeted a question about
ClearQuest IBMer found the solution and
delivered it to the tweeter Built a positive connection with a
Rational customer.
