Data is the new Oil: 3 illustrations

Data is the new Oil: 3 illustrations - which one do you think is best? The theme was coined by Clive Humby at AMA 2006, but I use it a lot in my talks and presentations, see the links here

The b/w piece was done by Sedat Oezgen, the green & cloud piece is by Gerry Alpern, and the people/cloud background was licensed from sevensheaven.

Really nice illustration: Visions of a Networked Future (ITU Telecom World event)

Further to my last post and the video about the ITUWorld event on October 26, 2011, in Geneva, here is a really nice illustration / visualization of the key statements and memes, created and kindly provided by Sarah Clark at Clear Thinking Communications in Switzerland.

You can view and download a large version via this link .

...from a really interesting session at ITU Teleworld 2011 in Geneva yesterday, October 26, 2011. http://forum.world2011.itu.int/sessions/f17-storytelling-2-visions-of-a-netwo... has further details and the complete 86 minute video.

This Quickfire Storytelling session brings together some of the world's leading futurists (see below) to share bold ideas and conflicting predictions of how the world might look in 10 years' time. This video (which we shot ourselves using a Kodak HDCam and Sony bluetooth mic) shows the first 10 minutes i.e. Gerd's introduction, the 5 minute talk and brief discussion with the other speakers and the audience. Twitter buzz is here You can download the 10MB PDF of my presentation (unfortunately, the slides are not really visible in the video), here.

Revolucion - a new kind of chess game

This seems to be the what we see around the world, these days, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. Great illustration, below. Food for thought. Source.

Internet access is shifting from computers to mobile devices (nice graph via Softbank)

I just found a nice illustration of this global trend in a presentation by Softbank's Ted Matsumuto, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a few weeks ago (see all of the presentations, here, and Ted's PDF: Download 02_Ted Matsumoto ). Food for thought.

The future is not linear, binary, yes/no - it's fuzzy!

Some business models will work, somewhere, sometime, for some of us; many others will not. There will be very few cook-books, recipes or formulas and 'plans' as things will be even more fragmented and constantly in-flux. For leaders, being Connectors will become more crucial than being Directors as constant remixing of successful concepts will be required - and connected, networked people can innovate much faster as they 'proudly find elsewhere'.

Some previews of my Books 2.0 presentation this coming Friday (March 19, London)

Here are 4 'scenes' from my upcoming presentation at the Books 2.0 event in London, March 19. I still have a few seats reserved for my tweeps and blog-readers - ping me if you are interested (yes, it's still a free event;). I will publish my slides on this blog, via Slideshare, and via Twitter, sometime in the afternoon of that day. Stay tuned. The Twitter Hashtag is #books20 and the Twitter-Stream is here.

THIS is the Future of Content: Attention Revenues first, copies second!

Clearly a major shift. It will be a huge task to build this new ecosystem. Deep and sincere collaboration is required. Domination is toast. Control is - like email, soon - for yesterday's emperors. Google and the Telcos need to dive into Content 2.0. Openness becomes a default requirement, not just a 'nice to have'. Friction is Fiction. Really. It's hard work. Yes.

Best of my 2008 slides: The Future of Content, Media, Advertising and Marketing

Slide.com rocks - they even had a great track by one of my favorite artists, Alanis Morissette, "Underneath" which I think is a perfect fit for my slides. Whoever licensed this to Slide.com - well done, and brilliant marketing! The Music is not auto-on btw - so hit the PLAY button (i.e. speaker icon); it's worth it.
