The Course: Digital Ecosystem

ABOUT THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMAs in the natural world, there are several ecosystems which have some species in common, others which are similar having followed a process of adaptation to local conditions, and others which are endogenous.

A "digital ecosystem" has been developing around us, going far beyond the desktop and quickly spreading through every type of device available.

"An ecosystem is a system whose members benefit from each other's participation via symbiotic relationships (positive sum relationships)." as for the digital ecosystem, it is a "digital environment" populated by "digital species" which can be software components, applications, online services, information, business models, etc.

As in the natural world, there are several ecosystems which have some species in common, others which are similar having followed a process of adaptation to local conditions, and others which are endogenous. Now in the digital ecosystem, you will be able to see the new digital species that are emerging and which will help cleanse the ecosystem, bringing back the power to the user.

The Course - WHAT

Digital Business Ecosystems (DBEs) defined

The DBE website defines a DBE as the enabling technologies and the paradigms supporting Regional Growth and Innovation in Business Ecosystems mainly composed by SMEs.

It goes on to elaborate that….

A natural life ecosystem is defined as a biological community of interacting organisms plus their physical environment. In the same way, a business ecosystem is "the network of buyers, suppliers and makers of related products or services” plus the socio-economic environment, including the institutional and regulatory framework.

A digital ecosystem is a self-organising digital infrastructure aimed at creating a digital environment for networked organisations that supports the cooperation, the knowledge sharing, the development of open and adaptive technologies and evolutionary business models.

The digital ecosystem approach transposes the concepts to the digital world, reproducing the desiderable mechanisms of natural ecosystems. As several interacting natural ecosystems exist, several digital ecosystems exists due to differentiation and the development of endemic product and services tailored to specific local needs.

A digital ecosystem results from the combination of :1) the free digital ecosystem knowledge- and service-oriented infrastructure, as a public common resource ; 2) the digital components, services and the formalised knowledge which "populate" such infrastructure .

A digital ecosystem means to be the ICT-enabling technology for business ecosystems based on the dynamic and amorphous interaction among a multiplicity of small organisations.

Business Ecosystem + Digital Ecosystem = ( Innovation Ecosystems or Digital Business Ecosystem )

A Digital Business Ecosytem or Innovation Ecosystem results from the structurally coupled and co-evolving digital ecosystem and business ecosystem. A network of digital ecosystems, will offer opportunities of participation in the global economy to SMEs and to less developed or remote areas. These new forms of dynamic business interactions and global co-operation among organisations and business communities, enabled by digital ecosystem technologies, are deemed to foster local economic growth. This will preserve local knowledge, culture and identity and contribute to overcome the digital divide.

The Cluetrain Manifesto - 1999

Most corporations, on the other hand, only know how to talk in the soothing, humorless monotone of the mission statement, marketing brochure, and your-call-is-important-to-us busy signal. Same old tone, same old lies. No wonder networked markets have no respect for companies unable or unwilling to speak as they do.

But learning to speak in a human voice is not some trick, nor will corporations convince us they are human with lip service about "listening to customers." They will only sound human when they empower real human beings to speak on their behalf.

These markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking. Whether explaining or complaining, joking or serious, the human voice is unmistakably genuine. It can't be faked.

A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies.

Web 2.0

- 157 -

In the opening talk of the first Web 2.0 conference (October 2004), O'Reilly and John Battelle summarized what they saw as the themes of Web 2.0. They argued that the web had become a platform, with software above the level of a single device, leveraging the power of the "Long Tail", and with data as a driving force. According to O'Reilly and Battelle, an architecture of participation where users can contribute website content creates network effects.

The Five Mutable Laws of Web Marketing

The Law of the Dead End StreetThe first law goes like this: Setting up a website is like building a storefront on a dead-end street. If you want any shoppers, you must give them a reason to come.

The Law of Giving and SellingAn important element of Web culture is "free stuff." The Law of Giving and Selling says: Attract visitors to your site by giving away something free, and then try to sell something additional to those who visit.

The Law of TrustAssuming your products or services are priced competitively and are of good quality, your most significant sales barrier is trust. Trust is the essential lubricant of Web business; without trust, business grinds to a halt.

The Law of Pull and PushThe Fourth Mutable Law of Web marketing is: Pull people to your site by your attractive content, then push quality information to them regularly via e-mail.

The Law of the NicheThe Law of the Niche is last but not least. Let me state it this way: Big businesses like Amazon.com and Wal-Mart have the money and clout to "own" whole segments of the marketplace. Small businesses succeed by finding niches that are either unfilled or only partially filled, and filling them with excellence.

Conversation Marketing

15 Principles of Internet Marketing, Conversation Marketing

No one's lives depend on what we do.But people's livelihoods do. So take your work seriously, and take pride in it.75% of your audience uses a search engine to find you. Get used to it. All the banners and 'viral' marketing on earth won't come close to results produced by a top 5 ranking for a relevant phrase.But, a broad base is better. Don't rely on just one marketing vehicle. Build a complete internet marketing strategy that includes, at a minimum, paid search, organic search, e-mail and online PR.Never underestimate the power of an angry customer.Never underestimate the power of a happy customer.Pretty is great. Easy is better.You're not the customer.Karma exists. Treat customers and prospective customers with respect, and they'll reciprocate. Spam them, annoy them, and lie to them, and they'll retaliate.Risk is necessary.Risk without measurement is suicide. Analytics are a must.IT is not marketing. Don't make them run the web site. It's not fair to anyone.A web site does not equal an internet marketing strategy.Plan, but adapt. Don't be stubborn. Listen to what your customers tell you in their response.All marketing has a message. What's yours?

People aged 12 - 24 are notching up 23 cumulative hours a day, engaged in up to five activities simultaneously.NMA, April 2009

On the phenomenon of "continuous partial attention": over 25% of Internet users surveyed in the UK, FR, DE, IT, US, and Japan in October 2008 said they go onto the Internet at the same time as watching TV "most of the time".Ofcom, November 2008

36% of UK broadband users (aged 16-55) state they have both the TV and Internet on in the same room every day. On weekdays the time when TV and Internet multi-tasking is most likely to happen is around 8pm in the evening.TNS/YouTube Media & Audience Study (broadband users aged 16-55), December 2008

ADV: time and expenditure

- 163 -

One of the biggest reasons to be hopeful about the outlook for the continued growth of the Internet advertising industry is that when you look at the time U.S. consumers spend on the Internet versus the amount of ad dollars which go there, the proportions are out of whack. As recently as 2008, U.S. consumers spent 38 percent of their media consumption time on the Internet (29 percent if you exclude teens and young adults), but it attracted only 8 percent of advertising dollars. Whereas consumers spent 37 percent of their media consumption time on TV, which captured 32 percent of advertising dollars. If you believe that time is money, advertising dollars should continue to flow towards the Internet.

What to measure

- 164 -

http://www.grokdotcom.com/2007/07/13/what-advertisers-should-be-measuring/

The problem all these audience metrics have, whether youʼre talking about an online websiteʼs visitors, a magazineʼs circulations numbers, or a television programʼs gross rating points, is that none of them are actually reflective of how many people actually saw, listened to, or otherwise engaged with your ad.

why would we fantasize that it is possible to measure anything accurately across the entire World Wide Web? The only metrics that can be measured accurately are how much the advertiser spends (expenses) and how much they make (revenue).

the only time people react to an ad is if itʼs relevant to them.

I recommend advertisers get their own Web metrics in order, and learn how to tie them to the only reports that matter: P&L, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow.

How and What to measure: just say “no” to fluffy metrics.

They must continuously work with their audience to understand its needs and focus on providing relevant content and advertisements.They must work with publishers to help them clearly define what theyʼre trying to accomplish. They must define key performance metrics (e.g., the actions that will define their success).Work with advertisers so that the ads they produce are contextually relevant to the content they are producing.Make sure advertisers continuously optimize the ads to achieve better results.Constantly be in discussions with the audience so the promises that marketers make are being met (e.g., not pissing off YOUR audience).

Customer acquisition

- 168 -

Besides a future marketing campaign, the Internet marketing consultant will evaluate the current advertising campaign that the company has. Any advertising costs spotted by the Internet marketing consultant that is equal to or more than the customer acquisition cost should be reviewed.

Once the Internet marketing consultant knows the customer acquisition cost, he can then use this as a reference point to gauge new means of attracting customers. Companies should be about the customer and not themselves if they want to stay in business.

A good Internet marketing consultant knows that all businesses need customers to survive.

To acquire and keep a customer, a business has to show a customer how their product or service benefits the customer.

Every company needs a good customer service or customer relations department also. Internet marketing consultants should design an efficient customer acquisition strategy.

Customers want to know and feel secure that if they do have a problem with the product or service that there is some sort of warranty from the company. To retain a customer, a company has to provide good communication with the customer. Customers want to know that they are appreciated by the company. Customers want to feel satisfied with the product or service that the business is providing, and they want to be treated with respect.

Customer retention Vs value retention

- 169 -

Customer retention & value retention

http://searchcrm.techtarget.com/feature/Customer-retention-vs-value-retention

Increasing purchases as tenure grows:

Lower customer management costs over time:

Customer referrals:

Premium prices:

over time, customers come to know their suppliers. Providing the relationship is satisfactory, trust grows while risk and uncertainty are reduced. Therefore, customers commit more of their spending to those suppliers with whom they have a proven and satisfactory relationship. Also, because suppliers develop deeper customer intimacy over time, they can enjoy better yields from their cross-selling efforts.

the relationship startup costs that are incurred when a customer is acquired can be quite high. It may take several years for enough profit to be earned from the relationship to recover those acquisition costs. For example, it can take six years to recover the costs of winning a new retail bank customer. In the B2B context in particular, ongoing relationship maintenance costs such as selling and service costs can be low relative to the costs of winning the account. Therefore, there is a high probability that the account will become more profitable on a period-by-period basis as tenure lengthens. These relationship maintenance costs may eventually be significantly reduced or even eliminated as the parties become closer over time. In the B2B context, once automated processes are in place, transaction costs are effectively eliminated. Portals largely transfer account service costs to the customer. In the B2C context, especially in retailing, the assertion that acquisition costs generally exceed retention costs is hard to prove. This is in part because it is very difficult to isolate and measure customer acquisition costs. Ecommerce make it more measurable

customers who willingly commit more of their purchases to a preferred supplier are generally more satisfied than customers who do not. They are therefore more likely to utter positive word-of-mouth and influence the beliefs, feelings and behaviours of others. Research shows that customers who are frequent buyers are heavier referrers. For example, online clothing customers who have bought once refer three other people; after ten purchases they will have referred seven. In consumer electronics, the one-time customer refers four; the ten times customer refers. The referred customers spend about 50 to 75 percent of the referrer's spending over the first three years of their relationship. However, it is also likely that newly acquired customers, freshly enthused by their experience, would be powerful word-of-mouth advocates, perhaps more than longer-term customers who are more habituated.

customers who are satisfied in their relationship may reward their suppliers by paying higher prices. This is because they get their sense of value from more than price alone. Customers in an established relationship are also likely to be less responsive to price appeals offered by competitors.

Inbound Marketing

- 171 -

Inbound marketing and its opposite outbound marketing have various meanings depending on the context.One pair of definitions[1][2][3][4] are:Inbound marketing is a style of marketing that focuses on getting found by customers. This sense is related to relationship marketing and Seth Godin's idea of permission marketing. David Meerman Scott recommends that marketers "earn their way in" (via publishing helpful information on a blog etc.) in contrast to outbound marketing where they used to have to "buy, beg, or bug their way in" (via paid advertisements, issuing press releases in the hope they get picked up by the trade press, or paying commissioned sales people, respectively). Next best action marketing can also be applied.Antonym: Traditional marketing (outbound marketing) is where companies focus on finding customers by advertising. This sense is related to intrusion marketing and Godin's term interruption marketing.An older pair of definitions[5] are:Inbound marketing is market research. In contrast to the above, pieces of information about customer needs, not customers themselves, flow into the company. Knowledge of customer needs drives future product capability. This sense is related to the term product management. Peter Drucker believed[6] this to be the quintessence of marketing.Antonym: Outbound marketing is marketing communications. In this sense, information about finished product capability flows out to prospective customers who have a need for it. This sense is related to the term product marketing.

CRM Key principles

http://www.mftrou.com/quality-customer-service.html

Attracting new customers costs more than retaining existing customers

A satisfied customer stays with a company longer, spends more and may deepen the relationship. For example a happy credit card customer may enlist the companyʼs financial services and later take travel insurance.This is an easy “sell”, compared with direct marketing campaigns, television advertisements and other sophisticated and expensive approaches to attract new customers.

Customer service costs real moneyReal costs are associated with providing customer service and companies spend in line with a customerʼs value. If you are a high value customer or have the potential of being high value, you will be serviced more carefully.Companies reduce the cost of customer service by using telephone voice response systems, outsourcing call centers to cheaper locations, and self-servicing on the internet. However, companies risk alienating customers through providing an impersonal service.Some internet banking companies are bucking the trend by charging customers to contact them. In exchange, customers receive better interest rates due to reduced overheads and are satisfied with that.

Understand your customersʼ needs and meet themHow can you meet your customersʼ needs, if you donʼt know them? To understand your customerʼs needs, just listen to the “voice of the customer” and take action accordingly.Customer listening can be done in many ways, for example feedback forms, mystery shopping, and satisfaction surveys. Some companies involve senior employees in customer listening to ensure decisions benefit the customer as much as the company.

Good process and product design is importantGood quality customer service is only one factor in meeting customer needs. Well designed products and processes will meet customersʼ needs more often. Quality movements, such as Six Sigma, consider the “cost of quality” resulting from broken processes or products. Is it better to service the customer well than to eradicate the reason for them to contact you in the first instance?

Customer service must be consistentCustomers expect consistent quality of customer service; with a similar, familiar look and feel whenever and however they contact the company.Say you visit an expensive hairdressing salon and receive a friendly welcome, a drink and a great haircut. You are out of town and visit the same hairdressing chain and get no friendly welcome, no drink and a great hair-cut. Are you a satisfied customer who will use that chain again? Probably not, as you did not receive the same customer service – which is more than a good hair-cut.

Employees are customers tooThe quality management movement brought the concept of internal and external customers. Traditionally the focus was on external customers with little thought given to how internal departments interacted. Improving relationships with internal customers and suppliers assists delivery of better customer service to external customers, through reduced lead-times, increased quality and better communication.The “Service-Profit Chain” model developed by Harvard University emphasizes the circular relationship between employees, customers and shareholders. Under-staffed, under-trained employees will not deliver good quality customer service, driving customers away. Equal effort must be made in attracting, motivating and retaining employees as is made for customers, ultimately delivering improved shareholder returns. Better shareholder returns mean more money is available to invest in employees and so the circle continues.

Open all communications channelsThe customer wants to contact you in many ways – face to face, by mail, phone, fax, and email - and will expect all of these communication channels to be open and easily inter-mingled.This presents a technical challenge, as it requires an integrated, streamlined solution providing the employee with the information they need to effectively service the customer.

Every customer contact is a chance to shineIf a customer contact concerns a broken process, then empowered employees will be able to resolve the complaint swiftly, possibly enhancing the customerʼs perception of the company. Feeding back this information allows corrective action to be made, stopping further occurrences of the error.If you inform customers about new products or services when they contact you, you may make a valuable sale, turning your cost centre into a profit centre. This is only possible when you have a good relationship with your customer, where you understand their specific needs. A targeted sales pitch will have a good chance of success, as the customer is pre-sold on the companyʼs reputation.

People expect good customer service everywhere.Think about an average day – you travel on a train, you buy coffee, you work. You expect your train to be on time, clean and be a reasonable cost. You expect your coffee to be hot and delivered quickly. You expect your work mates to work with you, enabling you to get the job done.People become frustrated when their expectations are not met, and increasingly demand higher service quality in more areas of their lives.Providing outstanding customer service at the right price is the holy grail of most companies. It is worth remembering that we all experience customer service every day. We can learn from these and apply them in our own line of work, whatever it may be. The quality of customer service will make you stand out from your competitors – make sure itʼs for the right reasons

Business intelligence definition

- 176 -

Business Intelligence (BI) refers to skills, processes, technologies, applications and practices used to support decision making.

BI technologies provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations. Common functions of Business Intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, and predictive analytics.

Business Intelligence uses technologies, processes, and applications to analyze mostly internal, structured data and business processes

Online reputation management, or ORM, is the practice of consistent research and analysis of oneʼs personal or professional, business or industry reputation as represented by the content across all types of online media. It is also sometimes referred to as online reputation monitoring, maintaining the same acronym.

Specifically, the online media that is monitored in ORM is:

The blog search engine Technorati is also a good free resource for tracking what's being said in the blogosphere. The service indexes posts as they are published and with any search you do on the site, there is an RSS button that you can use to subscribe to the search. When viewing the results on the web site, you can click between tabs to see just the Posts, Blogs, Photos, or Videos containing your search terms.

MonitorThis

A simple online tool called MonitorThis lets you subscribe to results of a search from 22 different search engine feeds at the same time. The engines searched include the main search engines like Google, MSN, and Yahoo, as well as smaller engines like Plazoo, Blogmarks, and Topix. The results are provided in OPML format. Although you have to copy and paste the code into a file you create on your computer in order to subscribe, it's still worth checking out as the list of engines searched makes this a good resource.

http://www.trackur.com/

http://www.google.com/alertsOne of the simplest and easiest ways to track something on the way, your reputation or otherwise, is to use Google Alerts. With this free service, you can search either all of Google's properties, or you can specify that only News, Blogs, Web, Video, or Groups is searched. You can then configure the Alerts results to be emailed to you either as it happens, once a day, or once a week. There is also a page where you can edit the alerts once they are created or delete them when they are no longer in use.

http://technorati.com/

Create Your Own Custom Search

http://www.socialmeter.com/Social meter scans the major social websites to analyze a webpage's social popularity. Currently we scan Del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, Google, Jots, Linkroll, Netscape, Reddit, Shadows, Spurl, Technorati, and Yahoo My Web.

Search & Aggregators

To begin with, we'll look at Trackur. This new tool scours blogs, news sites, images, and videos for you to track your name, company brands, industry trends, or even news about your competitor. The tool allows you to search for a keyword or keywords, but also allows you to filter that search to include only instances where that keyword is coupled with other words and/or filter out instances where certain other keywords are present. Once the search has been customized, it can be saved and then subscribed to via an RSS feed or email. The items Trackur finds can also be bookmarked or emailed.

Social Search

Blog Comments

Backtype is a tool for monitoring blog comments. If people commented on various blog posts, citing your name, you never used to have a way of tracking it, until now. Backtype is a service that lets you find, follow, and share comments from across the web. Whenever you write a comment with a link to your Web site, Backtype attributes it to you.

BackType

Social Comments

Yacktrack lets you search for comments on your content from various sources, such as Blogger (blogger), Digg (Digg), FriendFeed, Stumbleupon (StumbleUpon), and Wordpress (WordPress) blogs. For instance, if you comment on a blog, you can locate other people who are commenting on that same blog post and rejoin the conversation.My favorite feature of this tool is the “Chatter” tab, which allows you to perform keyword searches on social media sites and then notifies you of instances of your brand name. Yacktrackʼs search page results also give you an RSS feed for the search term. You can also use Commentful and co.mments to track your social comments on the web.

http://www.yacktrack.com/search

Boardreader and Big Boards are other tools that work similar to this one

Discussion Boards

Along with blogs and traditional news stories, discussion boards are another channel where people can gather in a community and talk about you. Most people disregard discussion boards until they see other sites commenting on information viewed on them. Use boardtracker.com to get instant alerts from threads citing your name.

http://www.boardtracker.com/

Twitter

Twitter (Twitter) messages (tweets) move at the speed of light, and if you donʼt catch them they will spread like a virus. Using Twitter search (tweetzi Twitter Search), you can locate any instances of your name and decide whether you want to tweet back or ignore them. It really depends on the context and meaning of the tweet.Conduct a search for your name, your companyʼs name, or various topics youʼre interested in and then subscribe via RSS. Twilert and TweetBeep are additional tools you can use to receive email alerts.

http://search.twitter.com/

Social Media Alerts Like Google Alerts but for social media.Receive free daily email alerts of your brand, company, CEO, marketing campaign, or on a developing news story, a competitor, or the latest on a celebrity.Social Mention is a social media search engine that searches user-generated content such as blogs, comments, bookmarks, events, news, videos, and microblogging services. It allows you to track mentions of your brand across all of these areas. Other social search engines include Serph and Keotag.

http://www.keotag.com/A service from Keotag is a great tool for bloggers and those researching a topic in the blogosphere. The site lets you just search for items that are tagged with a particular keyword.

Tools & Services

FiltrBoxWhile all the other tools listed are quite rudimentary, this one is rather complex and intelligent. Instead of being hit with hundreds or even a thousand results for your brand name, Filtrbox only delivers the most relevant, credible mentions of things you need to track. Its “FiltrRank” technology scores content based on three dimensions: contextual relevance, popularity and feedback. You can look back to previous searches 15 days out for free as well.

Your NetworknetworkA lot of people overlook a strong network when it comes to monitoring their brands. If you have a robust network, especially people in your industry who observe the same keywords as you, then you will receive important updates without even asking for them.

Benchmark

- 180 -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmarking

Benchmarking is the process of comparing the business processes and performance metrics including cost, cycle time, productivity, or quality to another that is widely considered to be an industry standard benchmark or best practice. Essentially, benchmarking provides a snapshot of the performance of your business and helps you understand where you are in relation to a particular standard. The result is often a business case and "Burning Platform" for making changes to make improvements.

Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", it is a process used in management and particularly strategic management, in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison.

This then allows organizations to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to improve their practices.
