Andrew.

Lawrence Summer’s piece in the January 22nd EducationLife insert of the NYT has as its #2 “of guesses and hopes of how universities will change” a paragraph that resonates with what you say: “An inevitable consequence of the knowledge explosion will be carried out with far more collaboration.” “The ability to work with others” is discussed later as the most important criterion that a major employer uses in hiring.

Comment on Outsourcing Intimacy by Nick Dyer

Always good insight in these entries. I see this quite often where I work. we try really hard to improve our social channels but it can be like turning the Titanic – after it has struck the damn iceberg. . “We know we need to build connections – but jeez isnt there some corporate protocol we can follow to do this? Do we really need to LISTEN? Can’t we just project and yell a lot?”

Big biz struggles with this and they really know it – but cant help themselves.

Anyway, nice post Eklund.

Comment on Facebook should stop playing “Hide-and-Seek” with posts published using non-whitelisted third party apps by Dave Austin

Good post. I’m guessing when Facebook refers to the power of the people they mean THEIR people and not third-party people. It’s the “You can use another product but there will be consequences” situation.

Comment on Why Senior Executives Don’t Attend Digital Conferences by Chase

Great post. Though I shouldn’t be, I’m always shocked by the seeming lack of interest from senior people at these events.

Comment on Education Indictment, Part II: Proposed Solutions by Lauren Vargas

Lauren Vargas — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:33:17 +0000

Agree with you. We need to better prepare our next generation by putting theory into practice in the safe haven of the classroom instead of learning on a company’s dime and time…and reputation. This is the thinking behind the Radian6 Higher Education Trial Program. We cannot accept every class, but this is a step in the right direction. http://www.radian6.com/community/higher-education/

Comment on Social As Culture Revolution, Not Media Revolution by Andrew Weir

Andrew Weir — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:11:56 +0000

Great post. Why do so few brands understand the power (positive and negative) of social media/networks? Dell, Toyota, Dominoes have all learnt the hard way about it’s destructive power. Others should take action now.

Marketing, sales, customer service, etc need to work together to ensure that their brands deliver what they promise – this would be a good first step.

A even better move would be to deliver WOW brand experiences that delight consumers…so they buy again and maybe even tell friends/others about it (via social networks).

Great post. It is not just consumer electronics, data and applications that marketers need to get involved in. They need to be talking/working/integrating with all parts of their brand organisation. Particularly sales and customer service. These are the guys that handle the touchpoints that also need to deliver great brand experiences.
