How To Think About Turning Your Products Into Services. Eking out profits from products alone isn’t what it used to be. Thanks to the Internet and global distribution, consumers have access to lots of choices. That’s good for them but not so good for the folks selling those goods. Some companies know that products only get you so far, that services are the future-in fact, services already account for 75% of the global economy.

Social media can have a positive and a negative effect on organizations. However if a crisis occurs that is related to your organization, social media can be the new Wild West where every participant can take the law in their own hands. For that reason it is necessary to have a strategic social media plan before a crisis hits and try to avoid a crisis by engaging early when problems arise.

I’ve previously described the importance of nailing your customer’s problem as the initial battle. But it’s about way more than just getting their attention. When you can describe your customer’s problems clearly and succinctly — even better than they can, there is an automatic transference where they believe you also have the solution.

One Technology, Five Business Models. In the late 1990s, some researchers at The University of Queensland made a breakthrough. They invented radar equipment that works with an extremely high degree of precision over a relatively short range. Once they had made their discovery, they next started working on bringing their technology to market. Their first thought was that this would be very useful for locating pipes and underground power lines when people were digging things up.

Talk about personalized medicine, what’s more personal than our own genetic blueprint? In a health care era defined by patients taking more personal responsibility for their own health and well being, including the costs, it’s about time that we enabled consumers directly with access to their own health care data and the tools to interpret and act on it.

If we had our way, we would eliminate the titles of CEO, president, COO, or general manager.

These two roles could not be more different from each other. That is why it is magic when they work well together.
