  • There, search remains in the same brute-force dark ages as web search before Google. We can expect significant breakthroughs in search techniques for books, video, images, and sound to be a feature of the future evolution of the Internet OS.
  • and the platform provider that has the most robust systems (and consumer expectations) for paid content is going to be in a very strong position.
  • What's fascinating is the rich developer ecosystem they've built around payment - their recent developer conference had over 2000 attendees. Their challenge is to make the transition from the web to mobile.

  • . We can expect a similar wave of companies instrumenting social media and mobile applications,
  • manage the lookup service that allows individuals and businesses to find and connect to each other? The phone and email address books will eventually merge with the data from social networks to provide a rich set of identity infrastructure services
  • Building a social network to rival Facebook or Twitter is far less important to the future of the Internet platform than creating facilities that will allow third-party developers to leverage the social data that companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, AOL - and phone companies like ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile - have produced through years or even decades of managing user's social data for communications.
  • Whoever cracks this code, providing frameworks that make it possible for applications to be functionally social without being socially promiscuous, will win
  • Don't assume that advertising will continue to be the only significant way to monetize internet content in the years ahead
  • The question is the extent to which platform companies will use their advertising capabilities as a system service. Will they treat these assets as the source of competitive advantage for their own products, or will they find ways to deploy advertising as a business model for developers on their platform?
  • Location is the Internet data subsystem that is furthest along in its development as a system service accessible to all applications
  • We thus see convergence between Location and social media concepts like Activity Streams. Platform providers that understand and exploit this intersection will be in a stronger position than those who see location only in traditional terms.
  • This need for speed is going to be a major driver of platform services; individual applications will have difficulty keeping up.
  • Picasa and Flickr are no longer just consumer image sharing sites: they are vast repositories of tagged image data that can be used to train algorithms and filter results.
  • This idea of Government as a Platform is a key focus of my advocacy about Government 2.0.

  • There will be greater demands on HR professionals to be businesspeople, with competencies in finding and retaining talent and in managing contract and freelance workers.
  • Organizations will have the ability to personalize the employee value proposition, helping employees find value in the work they do based on how they interact with the company. Some employees will be full time and long term. Others will be short term and part time.
  • using networks such as LinkedIn to establish trust and research people’s backgrounds—will increase workplace flexibility
  • 4. (tie) Companies will find their best people anywhere in the world, so successful workers will be willing to work outside their home country.
  • The concept of offshoring will cease to exist. Talent will exist globally and companies will go where the talent is.
  • 8. The hunt for inexpensive labor will continue, but the evolution of economies from low cost to high value will be quicker, and increasingly, a low-cost labor strategy will be more difficult to sustain.
  • 2. Millennials will redefine work, doing work at home and taking home to work. This means blurring the boundaries of life and work. More workforce mobility will allow people to work from home and at different hours.
  • 4. As the generation born around 1980 takes its place leading major global organizations, the formative events in those workers’ lives—such as aging parents, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and the 2008 financial crisis—will lead to greater C-suite emphasis on corporate social and environmental responsibility.
  • 6. There will be a significant problem of retirement in the West. With people living longer and fewer people in the workforce, retirement will have to be redefined.
  • 8. For nations such as India, where a large number of young employees are entering the workforce, there will need to be a major shift to address their needs and concerns.
  • Talented people, willing to work very hard, will flourish in most organizational settings.

  • 2. There will be a continued and increased demand for top talent. The gap between the best and the rest will be greater. There will be more demand for creativity, innovation and thought leadership.
  • 3. Employers will compete as intensively for workers as they do for customers. Branding an organization as a place for workers will be as important as branding for consumers.
  • 4. Firms will become adept at sourcing and engaging transient talent around short-term needs, and will focus considerable energy on the long-term retention of smaller core talent groups.
  • Training and development may be tied to some contractual time commitment on the part of the worker.
  • 7. (tie) More focus will be placed on searching for people who match companies, not just people who have the skills that companies need.
  • 2. HR issues will be measured much more as part of the business plan.
  • 3. Talent management will become the prime focus of HR.
  • 5. (tie) A "decision science" approach will be the foundation of human resources. HR will view talent in a supply-chain fashion and help the business understand workforce trends to make sound decisions.
