Power to the people: Beyond sharing

FT Innovate Nov 2014

Hi, I’m Ron J. Williams

@ronjdub #beyondsharing

There never was a sharing economy

People dealing directly with people

in “category” by 2013

200+

And we missed the point…

…the crowd got sentient.

I fell in love in 2005

Choice + Convenience = Commerce

“Information drives action”

— Ade McCormack

More inventory than all NYC Hotels COMBINED

Technology has removed the friction and capital

requirement that protected industrialists

from the crowd.

It’s about access.

It’s about participation.

It’s about partnership.

Commerce?

Risk management?

More data provides granularity for every single part of business

How will your business partner with the crowd to move #beyondsharing?
