When these emerging trends work together, they call for a new kind of business – one that is distributed, collaborative, agile, and better positioned to succeed. Dachis Group has a keen awareness of the enormous opportunity presented by these emerging trends, and a deep understanding of the challenges they represent. Through Social Business Design, Dachis Group helps businesses re-envision their inherent architecture – preparing them to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that these trends present. Request the Social Business Design Whitepaper. Why Is Social Business Design Important? • Emerging Opportunities • New Challenges • Our Approach • Results Emerging Opportunities As the idea of work is changing for employees and other stakeholders in a business, a crucial opportunity has emerged for businesses to become more flexible and open – increasing efficiency and reducing inertia. Technology [pic] It goes without saying that technological evolution has fueled every major business revolution, from agrarian to industrial. But every major business shift was spurred on by innovations that were seemingly unpredictable, yet visible to those with keen foresight. Currently, the ever-increasing overlap between consumer and enterprise technology is opening up a number of opportunities for businesses to evolve...

...By froxenhell | May 2011 Zoom In Zoom Out Page 1 of 2 Communication is the conveying of message between a sender and a receiver or a group of receivers. [Someone’s definition on communication]. Communication is very important in our daily lives as well as in workplace. Communication also plays a vital role in businesses. Business communication needs to be well-organized and professional. As all other types of communications, business communication also can be either verbal or non-verbal or could be a combination of both. Written communication and oral communication are examples of verbal communication. To compose effective written or oral messages, you must apply certain communication principles. These principles provide guidelines for choice of content and style of presentation, adapted to the purpose and receiver of the message. These principles are commonly known as seven “C’s”. They are completeness, conciseness, consideration, concreteness, clarity, courtesy and correctness. Here are the “seven C’s” in detail: 1. COMPLETENESS: This means the business message must contain all the facts the reader or listener needs for the reaction you desire. You must provide necessary information and give something extra if desired or needed. 2. CONCISENESS: Eliminate wordy expressions and include material that is relevant. Also, avoid unnecessary repetition. 3. CONSIDERATION: Focus on ‘you’ attitude instead of ‘I’ and ‘we’ attitude. But then overuse of it might lead to a...

...The topic I chose is people are too dependent on computers. The reason I chose this topic is after I read the topic I stopped to think and look around, and computers are everywhere and it would be interested to dig a little deeper to show just how dependent we are on computers. Also my grandmother just helped my cousin out of a recent situation where he lost his wallet with his drivers licence and bank cards and had no cash. My grandmother went to her bedroom and was able to give him several hundred dollars until he got all of his ID and bank access back and she told us to stop trusting technology so much. The four ideas generated about this topic are: 1. Think through the chaos that it causes when technology fails us at work, school or at home. 2. We would not be able to travel some of our roadways if the compters on our highways that control signs and traffic lights were to fail. 3. Identity theft was introduced and now runs rampant because of computers. 4. The idea that computers controls everything around us becomes uncomfortable when power fails. The 4 questions generated through the starbursting technique are: 1. What do computers actually control? 2. Who invented computers and why did they? 3. How have we become so dependent on computers? 4. Is there an efficient alternative to computers?

...1. I learned that, being an entrepreneur, you are required to take more risks than anybody else. Flying a plane with no direction is a constant casual situation in business. In this area of business, emotional breakdown and surprises are going to appear all the time. b. I think I earned the scores because majority of the trait that I lack are financial management. Managing my money has always been constantly a trouble for me. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be cautious on what you spend and what you purchase. Paying for mortgages , paying for rent and making key investment are some of the key examples of being a successful entrepreneur. However, I’m a big risk taker, and I’m very ambitious. Which are two of the biggest traits to be an successful entrepreneur. The reason why I like to take risk is not because I like to feel unpredictable; It is because, I believe taking calculated risks ,especially big calculated risks can increase your chance for your biggest profit. 2. My favorite entrepreneurs are Howard Schultz and Sam Walton. Both entrepreneurs are classical entrepreneurs, which they seek economics profit as the number goal in their business. Howard Schultz, he is creative, optimistic and excelling. His creativity led to the creation of more than 8000 different combination of Starbucks drink and machine that helped to save millions of dollars in his company. His creative design of Starbuck’s menu, space in the shop, store napkins to coffee bags, shows how...

...Over the past few decades, computers have gone from being a rare luxury to an everyday necessity. Most businesses revolve around the constant use of computers, and now, so do our everyday lives. Currently, our daily routines require the use of computers, and in the near future, are expected to be reliant on them. Even something as simple as reading the morning paper will be accessed via the Internet. Newspapers will be assessable online and, through search engines, you can quickly find what you are looking for. As well, papers from out-of-town will now be available, without the additional charge for delivery. Though the physical ‘paper’ will not be completely eliminated, many people will make the switch to “e-Paper”, as it is more efficient and more conservative of our resources. Not only will newspapers be available online, but so will many great works of art. Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and JRR Tolkien are only some of the authors or playwrights that students will be able to access without a trip to the school or public library. Any great work of literature ever written will be available for use with the click of a mouse. This increased reliance on the computer in everyday life not only is more efficient than multiple trips to the library, but it also helps the environment by reducing the number of trees that are cut down every day, simply for the production of books. As of late, many technological advancements have been made in the medical field as well. Surgeries are...

...INTERACTIVE SESSION: MANAGEMENT VIRTUAL MEETINGS: SMART MANAGEMENT Instead oftaking that 6:30 A.M. plane to make a round of meetings in Dallas, wouldn't it be great if you could attend these events without leaving your desktop? 'Ioday you can, thanks to technologies for videoconferencing and for hosting online meetings over the Web. A June 2008 report issued by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative and the Climate Group estimated that up to 20 percent of business travel could be replaced by virtual meeting technology. A video conference allows individuals at two or more locations to communicate simultaneously through two-way video and audio transmissions. The critical feature of videoconferencing is the digital compression of audio and video streams by a device called a codec. Those streams are then divided into packets and transmitted over a network or the Internet. Until recently, the technology was plagued by poor audio and video performance, and its cost was prohibitively high for all but the largest and most powerful corporations. Most companies deemed videoconferencing a poor substitute for face-to-face meetings. However, vast improvements in videoconferenc ing and associated technologies have renewed inter est in this way of working. Videoconferencing is now growing at an annual rate of 30 percent. Proponents of the technology claim that it does more than sim ply reduce costs. It allows for "better" meetings as well: it's easier to meet with partners, suppliers, sub...
