Don Tapscott on B-webs (social networks)

B-webs are the mechanism for the accumulation of digital capital, the knowledge- and relationship-based currency of the new economy. Digital capital includes 3 elements: human (people), relationship (customers and suppliers), and structural (e-business models).”

-Don Tapscott - “Digital Capital” May 2000


You can build relationship capital not through mass-produced, one-way communication, but through a dynamic, two-way communication in which customers become partners in innovation. Structural capital is built not by proprietary business processes and systems, but through the creation of radical new business models.

Don Tapscott on Digital Capital



Relationship– The condition or fact of being related; connection or association. – A particular type of connection existing between people related to or

having dealings with each other.

Network– an intricately connected system of things or people; "a network of

spies" or "a web of intrigue" [syn: web] : – an interconnected or intersecting configuration or system of

components [syn: net, mesh, meshwork, reticulation Source: WordNet ® 1.6, © 1997 Princeton University

– v : communicate with and within a group; "You have to network if you want to get a good job"



Relationship Network - a.k.a• Social Network • Business Community• Business Web or B-Web (Don Tapscott)• EBC – E- business community

Your network of business, friends and service.

Some RN goals:• Facilitate collaborative business and connecting• Ensure your brand or business is participating. Not lurking! • Make the entire network stronger and more effective• Enable ICT (information, communication and technology) across the network

(All ships rise with the tide)• Exploit free social utilities• Encourage digital capital flow across the relationship network



Business is about relationships. • Consumers, members, owners, suppliers, distributors, partners etc.• Collaboration, teamwork, partnership, cooperation.• Service, trust, loyalty, satisfaction.

Networks are powerful • Leverage the network effect • Allow for 2 way exchange of data• More nodes = Increasing returns (not diminishing). Fax machine example.

– The value of the entire network increases with addition of each node

• High tech – high touch• Group buying power (auction-mobs) • Economies of scale

Metcalf’s Law: the usefulness of a network is proportional to the square of the number of people it connects, because that is the number of possible directions of communication.

(Fax Machine Example: As more people got Faxes, your Fax becomes more valuable and the cost of the hardware goes down)


How Can Social Media Benefit My Business?

Hear direct feedback from your audience and listen to their ideas Identify where to allocate budget Build online communities Increase brand loyalty Learn more about REAL consumer behaviour. Stop telling them…

seduce them. Build relationships with customers through 1:1 communications Defines the best tactics for driving traffic to your website Monitoring your brand and business. Cheaper and more effective than polling. Finding and connecting with niche audiences Increased brand awareness Customer and member relationship development (after sales)


The greatest challenge for any organisation is resource allocation. Where to invest to achieve the greatest return.

Often Social Media is given to the junior person in an organization. We saw this in 1999 with the .com website. (Webmaster)

I would argue that the Social voice (individual or collective) of a brand or organization is one of the most important roles in the company.

Where as in the past, a world dominated by broadcast media, your role was to serve the mass public. Now the public expect you to serve their niche. Internet = Option D (ALL OF THE ABOVE)

With so many sophisticated networks and social channels it is now possible to target all of your markets and demographics.

The Biggest Problem in Digital, Web, Social


ROI

We invest people Time IP Technology Resources Training Knowledge Capital

But we only expect CASH in return. This is a fundamentally flawed thinking

Customer Service is the most overlooked use of Social Media (People like Brands on Facebook for more than coupons!)

Keep building your web. And develop as many social destinations as possible. Then re-invest in the ones which are working

Doing Nothing is the worst strategy

1) The internet is an organism. 2) It can be used through all stages of business. 3) The sooner you start, the sooner you have been doing it!

Anytime, anywhere, for everyone!

Insight: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” – Bruce Lee


Facebook Today – Changes hourly

How big is Facebook? Facebook = 750 million? The World’s best CMS The best reporting (Social graph) It’s easy to use.

The iPhone Phenomena (everyone's heard of it even if they don’t own one.)

DIY? Don’t do it! Steep learning curve. Microsoft word most people use 1% of functionality.

I’m on facebook most days and notice a new feature, function or application. You could spend weeks diving into Facebook Live, Facebook Credits, groups, pages, questions, video, comments, likes, send button etc.


Under Construction is DEAD!

Domain Name Registration Websites take time to build. Maintain. Content Management System Promote, SEO, market Web trends / Google Analytics?

Even the simplest FB presence is effective


The Sky is NOT the Limit.

Big ideas take the same amount of energy as small ideas.

Building Fans

Use Facebook’s tools….such as the local businesses stickers:

Building Fans

Building Fans


Fan Building Specific PromotionsDevelop a range of digital and offline promotions attracting new fans to your page…

Outsourcing Fan BuildingConsider outsourcing your fan building activities to a specialised provider

Why?
