Big Data Predictions for 2012

Big Data Predictions for 2012

By Dion Hinchcliffe on January 24, 2012

Over the last several years, the desire to understand the surging rivers of digital data forming all around us has led inexorably towards something more meaningful than simple analysis. The rise of consumer analytics, and by that I mean analytics tools that literally anybody could and would use, could be arguably said to have begun

In 2012, we’ll see many of these tech changes — some merely evolutionary, others more

Black Ops for Black Friday

Black Ops for Black Friday

By Susan Scrupski on November 26, 2011

I’ve never done the Black Friday thing.  Why would any human being subject themselves to that stress and, well, craziness?  Friends of mine tell me they love it.   They’re busy scoping out all the best deals, online and offline, well before the big day arrives.  They’re like highly skilled commandos when they finally descend upon [...]

There’s a sense of profound change in the air in the large companies I speak to these days. The rapidly changing consumer technology world, along with a huge helping hand from the Web, is fundamentally changing how business gets done.

Connecting Employees to Social Media: New Possibilities

Connecting Employees to Social Media: New Possibilities

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 23, 2011

Recently I’ve been exploring the best ways for companies to establish their workers successfully in the use of social media, both internally and externally to their organizations. Driving adoption and effective uptake of social tools varies rather widely in how easy and quickly it is to for a given business to realize. For example, this process is the most challenging for regulated industries as I deconstructed at length on ZDNet this week. Yet it’s the same issue for all firms: How do we quickly and effectively deal with issues surrounding risk, control, and trust so that we can get to the good part and reap the rewards of social media engagement?

Converging on the Social Enterprise

Converging on the Social Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 8, 2011

I was in San Francisco last week for Dreamforce, the yearly confab for Salesforce that has had a major focus on social business the last couple of years. There’s little doubt that Marc Benioff clearly sees the very near future of business, and it’s something he calls the social enterprise. While you can read my [...]

Social Business Intelligence: Positioning a Strategic Lens on Opportunity

Social Business Intelligence: Positioning a Strategic Lens on Opportunity

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 1, 2011

Recently I’ve been tracking the growth of social analytics and the means of delivering well on it. Connecting it to the needs of the business is the next step beyond basics of collating, aggregating, and identifying patterns in what the world is doing that affects your organization. On ZDNet recently, I explored the rapidly growing trend of big data. Collectively, big data represents a set of highly innovative new ways that companies are developing to distill value from the sheer scale, richness, and complexity of today’s vast networks of people and their data, of which the Internet is just the biggest example. It is social media in particular, however, where big data and business value intersect.

The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business: The Early Adoption Phase

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 21, 2011

The figures vary but in the last several years a major change has begun in organizations around the world. Sometimes the efforts are small and unsanctioned, sometimes they are big and bold, but increasingly businesses are employing social media strategically to engage deeply with both their workers and customers. We see this all the time [...]

Enterprise 2.0: Whither thou Goest

By Susan Scrupski on July 28, 2011

The conversation on the social web about whether “Enterprise 2.0” still has relevance has been ongoing for a long while.  Nearly everyone has weighed in on it who follows the space. Within my role here at the Dachis Group as Executive Director for the Social Business Council, I’ve often wondered whether it was time for [...]
