I’ve known Ray Wang for quite while and he has always been an inspiration. It was no surprise to me when he founded his own research company, Constellation, to provide insight into the technology disruption that was crashing into businesses on a daily basis. Larger analyst firms typically exploit the fact that their customers are sloooooooow and they can provide predictions using a rear view mirror, but he recognized that there was a real need for guidance by early adopters and fast followers who hoped to make the most of the opportunities and avoid the rocks. So, with that mission he assembled some of the smartest people in the industry and continues to provide the best insights into the future of work.
Knowing that, you can imagine what a tremendous honor it is to be included in Constellation Research’s disruptive technology influencer network, Constellation Orbits.

[Product Review] Last week at IBM's annual conference IBM Connect they announced a new project code-named IBM Mail Next. IBM showed their vision of a new way for people to interact with their email, tasks and social networks. I, personally, did not find the current designs to be radical enough. Here’s my reasoning: given a blank slate, would this be what a startup or design agency would come up with? I don’t think so.

I believe personal analytics such as this can help people know which topics they should spend more time working on (are popular with your audience) and which don't resonate as well. Of course, a single snapshot does not provide all the details you need, but each data point helps.

Airlines, like many businesses in the 60s, understood the value of customer experiences as a brand differentiator. Fast forward to today and airlines promote low CO2 emissions, speed, and safety when speaking about travel and their fleets of 747s, not the experience of traveling. Somewhere along the line, airline passengers stopped being passengers and became cargo.

Can you explain how to go about quantifying the value of things that a lot of people think are intangible? How does what you do now with social media ROI models relate to the work that you did before the rise of social media?

Marketing has always been an inexact science. Starting with John Wanamaker famously saying over a century ago "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half" to modern day marketing pundits suggesting social media tips and tricks are the new marketing.Digging deep, we find marketing is psychological, and personal; not technical and mathematical as some may suggest, and very much just as inexact as John Wanamaker described. Ergo, modernizing marketing is a study of the modernization of psychology. The psychology of the world is now more about "me" than us. In 2010 the New York Times published an article on the "Me Economy" suggesting that every individual is now a marketer. While this is true and I am guilty of this, there is something new happening in psychology affecting marketing and advertising beyond every individual becoming a individual marketer.
