My main way of sharing with the world my vision about the future and my insights is through public speaking.
At the World Innovation Forum in New York, sharing the stage with Seth Godin and Michael Porter, I discussed the impact the Social Data Revolution has on people, business, and society. Other events in 2010 included the World Marketing Forum, where Dan Ariely and Phil Kotler joined me on stage after my talk with an engaging discussion on the future of marketing. I also enjoy speaking at creative, interdisciplinary events such as South by Southwest, PICNIC and the DLD conference.
My main goal is to challenge the minds of my audience in a lively and engaging way. In addition to speaking at top conferences, I also speak at company events and facilitate workshops that benefit from my deep knowledge about consumer behavior, relentless focus on user experience, and my vision for mobile and social technologies.
My work with both game-changing startups and visionary executives from around the world across industries enables me to anchor cutting-edge ideas with current business needs.
I offer the audience insights into emerging trends, and create possibilities from the shifts in communication behavior of individuals and their attitude to privacy.
: topics :
I am best known for my talks on the future of data. I encourage my audience members to re-think the role of data both within their organization and in the social media, and understand the implications of the ubiquitous data they create forever. My talks focus on actions arising from this abundance of data, and on incentive design to get people to contribute data for their own benefit. This includes issues of data ownership, trade-offs in privacy, and the future of identity.
My new talk - The Future of Relationships - takes companies beyond the traditional transaction economy, rewriting the equations of the business to reflect the true value of the relationship with each customer and their network. I discuss emerging opportunities and new business models that are needed after the irreversible structural changes the Social Data Revolution has brought.
: corporate events :
I have given talks at a diverse set of companies, including Alibaba, Goldman Sachs, Google, HP, IBM, Metro Group, Morgan Stanley, Nokia, Tencent, Thomson Reuters, Sony, Volkswagen, and to many airlines. My corporate engagements range from speaking at leadership events to private briefings for executives, where I share critical trends, useful insights, and fresh perspectives.
In addition to my regular teaching at Stanford University. I offer custom executive courses and teach a course on the Digital Networked Economy in executive MBA programs in China and Europe.
