The GURU who was right about the Internet’s impact on business- David Weinberger - tells you how the next wave of technology is going to draw new connections among everyone in your organization, erasing all the old boundaries.

The new technology is all about connecting people, wherever and whenever…not just more connections but new types of connections: open-ended, among equals, unscripted, and full of personality.

These always-on connections among your customers, partners, and employees are something very new and something as old as our species … they’re conversations. And that changes everything.

Your audience will learn…

The new wave of technology is taking business apart and putting it back together. What the Internet began, the next wave of technology is going to complete.

Businesses can no longer control their customers or partners by selectively releasing information, so you’re going to have to reinvent marketing, management, supply chains and more.

Conversational values are replacing organizational values. Instead of being held together by rules and roles, companies are being organized around who is speaking to whom.
