I reviewed the Global entertainment and media outlook: 2011-2015. It states that over the next five years, successful enterprises will become an "interconnected collaborative digital ecosystem" with technology becoming the enterprise and facilitating collaboration across the industry. Technology ceases to be a isolated enabling element. Technology defines collaboration across the enterprise and industry. The :centralbrain: is an enterprise or industry platform. Examples of industry platforms are available at :em4: and :ed4:. I offered an initial overview of the :centralbrain: as an enterprise platform in my Management 3.0 M-Prize application. I need to provide a clearer explanation on Management 3.0 in greater detail and will do that in the next few weeks. I ... Read More

A member of my Google+ circles asked me the following question: Marcus, I was reading much of your website and your theory on Web 4.0. In the last week, I've said that once Google integrates all of it's entire App products (Business+Education),Gmail, Google Docs, etc into Google+, it will set the foundation for Web 4.0. I feel that G+ isn't going to be a social network, but will actually bring about another Web reformation (Web 4.0). When I came across your website today, it surprised me at how much your theory and your supporting graphic supported my belief. Do you also see that in Google Plus? I thought I would share my ...

I stumbled across the following LinkedIn discussion. UN call for revolutionary thinking and action to ensure an economic model for survival... How to make this happen? Extract: Warning for global suicide and time running out, Ban ki-moon called last Friday at Davos for revolutionary thinking and action to ensure an economic model for survival. What is needed to take a global interconnected perspective on the issues and threats our planet is facing and start action? How can this gain traction and produce the desired effect? “To make it happen we have to be prepared to make major changes – in our lifestyles, our economic models, our social organization, and our political life.

NOTE: I posted this article in the LinkedIn NBN Group. I have added it here as a post. If you could create a “Central Brain” (or Facebook) in 5 days to focus the effort and wisdom of 2 Billion people, what problem would you solve? What social, industrial or political endeavour would you transform? Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) will connect 20m people in a faster network. The NBN appears to rely on a "build it and they (ie benefits) will come" approach. Australia needs a complementary and proactive National Application Network (NAN) strategy to reconfigure what we do and how we do it for national benefit. We should reconfigure our community ...

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.

Open letters are a crued Web 3.0 network in a world that does not have Web 3.0 networks.

The ASX has an IPhone application which is the perfect complement for a stock exchange 1.0. The content of Stock Exchange 1.0 is limited to prices and announcements. The ASX IPhone app means a person can monitor prices, but much more interestingly receive "push" notifications when new content (IE: an announcement) is released to the market. In my experience of the app, a new announcement was received by my IPhone within 5-10 minutes.

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.

Email was created 40 years ago and provides specific means for people to communicate. It mimics the conventional postal service. Wave is Google’s attempt at how we should communicate given technology today. It provides a new means and a new workflow to communicate. Google Wave may be a masterful strategic move by Google that integrates a range of their online technologies and triggers a paradigm shift. The impact of Google Wave is revolutionary. It could render desktop office productivity software obsolete as workflow and content is managed online. It could also render existing open source and commercial email servers obsolete. Corporates will bypass much of the Web 2.0 point applications and implement Google Wave for an immediate productivity improvement.

The current global financial turmoil will transform the world’s financial markets. Inevitable changes will no longer be delayed and will be implemented with increasing urgency in an overdue restructure of financial markets. The traditional stock exchange will no longer be sheltered from their obsolescence by increasing trading volumes, cost cutting or preferential treatment from local regulators.

Regulated capitalism is the last man standing. We have no choice but to make it work. We must, however, acknowledge that regulated capitalism has failed its citizens comprehensively. The failure of regulated capitalism is equal to the collapse of central planning. The communists recognised their system had failed and chose to implement something else. Will capitalists do the same? Or will we try to save the status quo at any price? Will bailouts move on to other “too big too let fail” activities that prevent the operation of creative destruction?
