		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing like an exception to the way things are done to highlight the need to increase knowledge sharing, especially if the exception is one instance of a pattern that results in bad experiences for customers. As Jay Cross recently noted, people learning at work rely on social, or informal learning, around 80% of the time. Interestingly, I noted in a former post, Social Learning and Exception Handling, that John Hagel and John Seeley Brown contend that "as much as two-thirds of headcount time in major enterprise functions like marketing, manufacturing and supply chain management is spent on exception handling.” It is not coincidence that the two numbers are aligned.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=5015&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent studies, one by Sentiment360 and the other by FreshMinds, contend that social media monitoring tools aren't very accurate in measuring sentiment, much less influence.  The insight isn't a new one and speaks to the now well-known issue of whether social media engagement is scalable. Consequently, we now see social media monitoring companies merging with text analytics companies to bundle their service offerings to fine tune their ability to monitor a customer's activity and online influence, tracking that information to the workflows of marketing, sales, customer support, or operations in near real time.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=3649&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On several occasions I've discussed dialogue in relationship to organizational self-orientation, open innovation, brand strategy, and learning. The overall premise of my thinking on the topic rests on the idea that stakeholders, whether consumers, customers, partners, and others with influence in a company's ecosystem are gaining increasing power to affect the meaning of brand offerings and the evaluation of operating assumptions, making strategic efforts of organizational transformation inevitable for large organizations. And, yet, we still see debate about whether strategic transformation is needed to implement Social CRM, making it seem that all a company really has to do is get to it in its use of social media.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=3676&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grocery shopping is one of those chores that we all have to do from time to time. I'm introducing the topic of grocery shopping as a service journey not because the concept is new. Few people who analyze what grocers do and how people who shop in their stores get the job of buying groceries done would be surprised that it is a journey. What I want to do is provide a brief history of the grocery shopper's journey, and key transformations of that journey.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=3536&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marketing, especially social media marketing, and learning are both essential components of a dialogue strategy for customer experience design and management. A dialogue strategy builds on the assumption that companies learn more from customers when customers learn from them, and doing so benefits both. I increasingly think it provides a basic framework to think about as an overall framework for social business design.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=3324&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most visited posts on this blog is titled, Empathic Research Methods and Design Strategy. In it I add to points made by Adam Silver, a Strategist at Frog Design, noting that globalization and digitalization in the 1990s resulted in product and service interfaces with more culturally diverse and geographically distributed customers. The combination of these forces led designers to search for new methods to augment artistic intuition. Considerations of form and function also required attention to feel, features, and interactivity attuned to the needs, wants, and beliefs of specific users/customers. The basis for such insight into the implications of globalization for design and marketing is certainly not new.

		<description><![CDATA[You know social networking is going mainstream when service companies like Roto-Rooter start using it. My sewer line backed up yesterday and I called Roto-Rooter to clean it. The guy came out like always, did the job, and I paid him. As he handed me the receipt he also gave me a flyer that asked me to go to either Google, Yahoo, Citysearch, or superpages.com and write a review of the service. Once a week Roto-Rooter selects a name from the reviews submitted on any of these search engines and refunds the cost of the service. It doesn't say whether the selection process is random or related to the sentiment of the review.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=2994&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My previous post discussed the Open/Closed culture fallacy in social business design. I contended that leaders of large corporations are typically unable to answer the key strategic questions posed by David Armano in an important post recently.

In this post I'll continue that line of thinking by considering a combination of David's third and fourth questions in light of the open/closed culture fallacy. Overall, as the post's subject indicates, my interest is in showing how social network analysis, applied to the ecosystems of organizations, can assist us in applying social business design in a manner that avoids the fallacy of open/closed business cultures.

		<description><![CDATA[To get to the main point quickly, let's do what few people offering thoughts about collaboration actually do. Let's explicitly discuss what it is. First off, collaboration isn't just about people sharing information to achieve common goals. Collaboration is about people working with other people to achieve common goals. Advocates of Enterprise 2.0 sometimes make the fundamental mistake of arguing that collaboration is really only about achieving goals, leaving the implication that incorporating social software into the workflow of organizations is sufficient. Even though goal-orientation is a big part 0f collaborating, collaboration requires more to achieve goals effectively. It requires shared experience.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=skilfulminds.com&amp;blog=4029507&amp;post=2535&amp;subd=larryirons&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
