Management 3.0 in 2012? Will the technology-business relationship be inverted? Will technology define business?

Marcus Cake — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:21:38 +0000

For decades, enterprise software has been designed to support business processes. These business processes were defined by the organisation. The organisation’s management model was based on the Web 1.0 proprietary hierarchy. As we have described many times before, the world is in transition from Web 1.0 proprietary hierarchies to Web 3.0 open networks. The following... Read More

Government wants laws to protect Web 1.0 proprietary hierarchies (SOPA/PIPA) … outlawing the steam engine to protect canals … community wants to protect Web 3.0 Open Networks and Economic Development

Marcus Cake — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:29:10 +0000

The SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) laws could go beyond an ineffective attempt to protect intellectual property and be applied to undermine the open community network (ie internet) that will be the foundation for economic development, productivity, transparency and meritocracy for the next generation.

Every country and innovation ecosystem needs a “Central Brain” to coordinate innovation, collaboration, workflow and valuable outcomes

admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:10:46 +0000

A social network could provide a "helicopter view" to understand and a "central brain" to focus a country's innovation ecosystem on outcomes. It is today's solution for yesterday's problem. Specifically, Equity Market 4.0 could be used to connect and coordinate a community with a common interest in managing an innovation ecosystem and maintain diversity that may be lost with centralisation. The community would need to be large enough and dispersed enough to warrant the use of a Web 3.0 network. Equity Market 3.0 could be delivered within 5 days and customised for use with 30-90 days. It could be used by a country, group of universities, industry associations, research organisations and their partners or globally.

Web architectures and cloud computing provide a tremendous opportunity for evolution and innovation

Opera browser (now server) could also unleash Web 3.0

admin — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 08:13:46 +0000

A few days ago, the open source browser project Opera released the version 10 of its web browser. This version, called Opera Unite, introduces a major new function that will probably be incorporated into all browsers. Opera Unite extends the browser that reads web pages from the internet, with a web server that publishes information to the web. In short, it facilitates direct peer to peer (or browser to browser) communication between browsers in real-time. Google Wave and Opera Unite facilitate peer to peer in Web 3.0. They do it in different ways. Google Wave appears to have a a superior value proposition, but ultimately it will depend on how, and how many, third party applications are integrated into each platform.
