Today we’re speaking to Jeremiah Owyang, founding partner of the San Francisco based research firm Kaleido Insights, where he focuses on how disruptive technologies—such as social media, collaborative economy, autonomous world, blockchain and more— impact the relevance of corporations. Jeremiah is well recognized by both the tech industry and the media for his grounded approach to deriving insights through rigorous research.and is frequently quoted in top-tier publications, has given a TED talk and was featured in the “Who’s Who” in the Silicon Valley Business Journal. His Twitter feed was named one of the top feeds by Time. He is also the Founder of Crowd Companies, an innovation club for Fortune 500 companies.In our conversation with Jeremiah, we explore some of the pre-existing conditions in the world - always through a tech lens - that have been amplified by the pandemic and other recent disruptive events, leading to some sort of awakening in Silicon Valley about the moral duties of tech companies and more in general what companies are actually supposed to produce for the world. Remember that you can find the show notes and transcripts from all our episodes on our Medium publication. https://medium.com/@meedabyte/4142f4870d14?source=friends_link&sk=c285582c50ac503b4ae7005a14d8e4d9 Here are some important links from the conversationFind out more about Jeremiah’s work:> Jeremiah’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jowyang> Kaleido Insights, “Applying Covid-19 Urgencies to Kaleido Insights’ Five Research Themes”: https://www.kaleidoinsights.com/applying-covid-19-urgencies-to-kaleido-insights-five-research-themes/Other references and mentions:> The Verge, “Amazon bans police from using its facial recognition technology for the next year”:https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/10/21287101/amazon-rekognition-facial-recognition-police-ban-one-year-ai-racial-bias > Ben Evans, presentation at the WEF 2020 and an update June 2020: https://www.ben-evans.com/presentations> Participatory City, http://www.participatorycity.org/the-illustrated-guide> Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture: https://www.amazon.com/Unsettling-America-Culture-Agriculture/dp/0871568772> Reporting 3.0: https://www.r3-0.org/> Wisdo: https://wisdo.com/index.html> Clubhouse: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/, https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-clubhouse-why-does-silicon-valley-care/ Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcastThanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.

Jeremiah Owyang is an old time work colleague from my Hitachi Data Systems days, where we were at the forefront of a new era of web and social media marketing programs. Jeremiah now has many hats: Founder Entrepreneur, Speaker, Mentor, Advisor and Analyst. In addition to publishing research at Kaleido Insights as an Industry Analyst, he also leads Crowd Companies, a council for large corporations who are seeking to innovate with new technologies to reach their customers. He’s big into fitness and self-care. Let’s chat!

Jeremiah Owyang, Founder of Crowd Companies, thinks that the sharing economy—though he prefers the term collaborative economy—could exceed PwC’s projections of $335 billion in revenue by 2025. “There’s really no question whether it’s going to happen or not,” Owyang said of the high rates of adoption of peer-to-peer platforms. “The question [for cities] is – what are you going to do about it? Cities need to move forward and embrace these models.” Owyang’s company helps larger companies incorporate aspects of the collaborative economy into their businesses. He created the popular honeycomb model of the collaborative economy, which breaks down its various subsets, from vehicle sharing, to health, to learning.

Digital has forced every industry to adapt, change and innovate. From automotive to music, corporations are being pushed to be creative like never before. This week’s guest, Jeremiah Owyang, Founder of Crowd Companies, discusses how top organizations are operationalizing innovation and what steps companies need to take in order to ensure they are not left behind.

Disruptions in technology are changing the retail landscape day by day. Not just the way we shop, but also how we drive and connect to each other. Jeremiah Owyang is a founder of Crowd Companies, which identifies future trends that big businesses should pay attention to -- and how those businesses can adapt. And Jeremy King, Walmart’s Chief Technology Officer, evaluates which new technologies would be beneficial to the Walmart experience, whether that’s for customers, or for Walmart associates and suppliers.

This episode is being released on Community Manager Appreciation Day 2017. We’re talking about the past, present and future of CMAD, with its creator, digital veteran Jeremiah Owyang of Crowd Companies. Now in its eighth year, CMAD recognizes the “pretty damn tough job,” in Jeremiah’s words, that community managers (and professionals) have, which can be thankless and misunderstood. We also talk about: How to be successful with the council/association model The career opportunity for community professionals in the shared and collaborative economies Will there be a 30th CMAD? Big Quotes “Senior director/VPs of community roles do exist. And typically, that happens when the professional is able to measure real business results of the community, whether that be customer satisfaction improvement or reduction in cost from customer care to the contact center or actually showing that there’s revenue being derived. Once they’re able to show real business value, they get elevated higher into the organizations, but beware the demands on them, from a business perspective, only increase. They become more visible. I also think that we see very successful people get elevated higher into their career when they’re able to tie in the communities to the actual product itself.” -@jowyang “I hate to devalue the [community manager] role in any way, but in some cases it is thought of as like a customer service role or a lowly role, and that’s unfortunate. The goal [of Community Manager Appreciation Day is to show] these are professionals that are more important than you can probably even imagine.” -@jowyang “I think [Community Manager Appreciation Day] should go away faster than [30 years] because if the role is appreciated, we don’t need such a day.” -@jowyang “[To be successful with the council model,] be first. If you see a market emerging, jump on it quickly. I had 10 weeks to launch. I left Altimeter on good terms, and then I had 10 weeks before LeWeb, where I was going to announce it on stage in front of, I think, 4,000 people or something like that, in Paris. I told these prospects, ‘You guys got to get on board, I want you to sign, and you can pay me later, let’s just sign the contract and be in the founding member set of the association, Crowd Companies.’ I was able to get 24 companies to commit, and these are all Fortune 500, so it’s pretty rare you get that level of commitment. … Once you have that momentum, then other companies started to sign on board.” -@jowyang “The thing about the council model, and associations, is we’re not charging a lot of money in comparison to their annual budget. It’s a fraction of a fraction for them. But in totality, it’s enough to sustain our small company. By no means am I getting super wealthy. I don’t drive a Ferrari or anything of an exotic nature, but we’re very happy and it’s what I want to do, I want to serve these companies in the role that I do. It’s really a very challenging business model, but if you can get it going, it can scale.” -@jowyang About Jeremiah Owyang Jeremiah Owyang is the founder of Crowd Companies, an innovation council that helps brands overcome challenges and navigate the next wave of disruption and opportunity. From the autonomous world to the collaborative economy, Owyang views every aspect of emerging technologies through the lens of growth, opportunity and constantly shifting consumer behaviors and expectations. Forever at the forefront, he identifies trends and advises major companies to adapt their business models to better connect with customers. His clients include Adobe, Electrolux, Wells Fargo, Nestle, Cisco, Western Union, Visa, Colgate, Yum and Pepsi, among others. Prior to Crowd Companies, Owyang’s career took shape as an analyst with Forrester Research, advising on social strategy for the interactive marketer. He was the founding partner and research director of Altimeter Group, specializing in customer strategy and emerging technologies. He formed Crowd Companies in 2013 to focus on the emerging collaborative economy and the maker movement.

The collaborative (or sharing) economy is heating up, with dramatic increases in both the number of startups that employ the model and the number of consumers who use them. In its annual survey on the collaborative economy, Crowd Companies has crunched the data to identify (among other things) key opportunities for traditional companies to compete as collaborative-economy companies increasingly threaten to take market share away from them. In this FIR Interview, Shel Holtz talks with Crowd Companies founder and CEO Jeremiah Owyang about the results of the study, with a focus on the three primary ways businesses can remain competitive as the collaborative economy continues to heat up. Jeremiah and Shel also digress into related topics, including the impact autonomous vehicles will have on both traditional and collaborative companies.Continue Reading → The post FIR Interview: Jeremiah Owyang on competing in the collaborative economy appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

The sharing economy has gained traction and attention in the last few years. Also known as the “gig economy,” “consumer-to-consumer sharing,” and “peer-to-peer marketplaces,” the term “sharing economy” is used to describe a wide variety of exchanges between people, including property, skills, labor, or space. By using an online platform to connect users and providers, this system puts a modern spin on old-fashioned bartering, swapping, borrowing, and trading — and greatly expands the scope and scale of potential exchanges. Sharing economy companies include Airbnb (rent a room or your house), Uber (provide rides), TaskRabbit (do chores for others), and Instacart (be a personal grocery shopper), to name a few. There were an estimated 80 million sharers in the United States in 2013 – although that included 33 million “resharers,” those who buy and/or sell pre-owned goods online at sites like Craigslist (Vision Critical and Crowd Companies). Revenue estimates vary from $3.5 billion in the U.S. in 2013 (Forbes) to $335 billion globally in 2025 (PricewaterhouseCoopers). Many have touted this system's benefits for consumers, including convenient and affordable services and shared goods. But what are the benefits — and the downsides — of the sharing economy for the workers who provide the services? What is the influence of the sharing economy on the future of work? What are the implications for public policy and business practice? This event features Shelby Clark (Executive Director, Peers), Sarah Kessler (Reporter, Fast Company), Wingham Rowan (Director, Beyond Jobs), Steven Strauss (Visiting Professor, Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University), and moderator Catherine Rampell (Opinion Writer, The Washington Post). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

You may have heard of the sharing or collaborative economy where consumers are getting what they want from each other isntead of through corporations. But what is driving this new model, how does it impact businesses, and what does the future of the sharing economy look like? These are some of the questions we explore with my guest this week, Jeremiah Owyang, the founder of Crowd Companies.   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)

Welcome to episode #424 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I was in Silicon Valley last month doing some work with Google. I arrived a day early and spent an afternoon in Palo Alto with Jeremiah Owyang. While he's been on the podcast before to talk about his new business, Crowd Companies, it felt like the perfect timing to reconnect and see just how well brands are working in the collaborative economy. Will hotels be competitive in a world of Airbnb? Will taxi companies adapt to Uber? Is every industry at risk of being disrupted by consumers and new startups who can connect, share and sell to one another in a much more efficient way because of mobile and connected technologies? Ultimately, what we're seeing is that new startups are efficient, and it's forcing brands to be efficient. Will they be up for the challenge? Just how dramatic is this evolution? The former Forrester and Altimeter Group analyst thinks it's going to be bigger than anything we could ever imagine.
