I have been doing some thinking about what real time means and I hope that this blog explains some thoughts. In the old world of data we collected lots of data and put in all into big databases and stored it. We then wrote cleaver algorithms to run over the data as analysis which gave insights such as context, feedback, fraud, behaviour and personalisation.   In my world I describe this as my rear view mirror. We collected data that we had just seen and then provided feedback on what had just happened. More recently we have dropped the store bit and instead use the real-time data feed to bring about immediate input what we are looking at based on sentiment, signals and intent. In my world I describe this as my head up display. We collected data that we had just seen (in the rear view now as passed it) but provide insights on what is happening. ---- The next point is a bit of a mind shift as it requires real time that is not generated by me, but could impact me.

Google’s Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT), Why consumers buying behaviour has changed forever. Up until now, leading brands have been the ones who consistently win at two ‘moments of truth’ for their consumers: The 1st moment is the consumer experience when they’re about to buy something; standing in front of a shelf with hand on the product The 2nd moment is what happens when they use it for the first time; opened the package and using the product Google argue that the ability to create and share your own content about brands has given birth to a new moment, the Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT). Consumers can now discover a great deal about you before making a purchase; without going anywhere near your marketing or sales. Their research found that people now look at over 10 different sources of online information before making a purchase.  This means that as marketers we need to understand how to win at ZMOT and to explain this, work through your own model ...

I registered two domains a while back www.OpenGovernance.og and www.OpenGovernance.net  and when I read this HBR article it reminded me why…. Why Radical Transparency Is Good Business….. The original idea came about as I was reading some new articles of association for a new company I have founded with Simon Grice. It came to me that so much of company policy was formed when communication were limited by pony express, seals and letters. Anyway this started a process that we are now living at iNeed  (the new company) where we are put together an investors page (we raised £50k on CrowdCube ) which is based on radical openness and we are also aiming at changing the whole process of openness and transparency I would love to find someone else who is interested in this topic to chat about it over a coffee

The Performative, Public Self The networked self is neither a discrete, unique snowflake that can be examined entirely unto itself, outside relationality, nor a generic group member. The networked self is linked in multiple, complex, individual node-to-node relationships with others as part of an ever-shifting public. It is also  performative , constituting itself within that public through its practices and gestures. Within network publics the performative self experiences both the flattening of hierarchies across space and status (I talked to theorist Henry Giroux on Twitter the other day! And he followed me back! Yay! Access!) and the network theory principle that big nodes are more likely to attract attention and links (Giroux didn’t act...

This USA  study released Sept 12 by the Government Accountability Office suggests that the government could do more to protect consumer privacy when it comes to mobile device location data. The report, which was requested by Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), concludes wireless companies are not fully explaining how they use location data culled from mobile phones. What GAO Found Using several methods of varying precision, mobile industry companies collect location data and use or share that data to provide users with location-based services, offer improved services, and increase revenue through targeted advertising. Location-based services provide consumers access to applications such as real-time navigation aids, access to free or reduced-cost mobile applications, and faster response from emergency services, among other potential benefits. However, the collection and sharing of location data also pose privacy risks. Specifically, privacy advocates said that consumers: (1) are genera...
