Great post!
Fully agree that the social Enterprise is here, and it is mandatory to thrive through the Fourth Revolution. Organizations need to be able, not only to communicate to customers, but to engage them in a relationship, to have them be part of their network. Organizations borders will blur, and the people, emotional side will be increasingly valuable.
I wonder why so many organizations today are still continuing in their closed, broadcasting style. Do they realize they are going to be wiped out by the power of long distance collaboration?

Hey JP. Got me thinking about what the “customer organising around themselves” looks like for the Govt. services arena. Like What’s Govt. ‘product’? How does making shoes not money fit a services sector? etc … “ecosystems not vertical stacks” seems to resonate somewhere in my gut.
Cheers. Hope you’re well.

Hi JP,

Thanks for this good and thoughtful post. Would you mind very much if I republished it (with full credit and back links, of course) in the monthly ‘Social Brands’ e-newsletter I send out to 65K+ SMEs here in the UK? It sums up the ‘social enterprise’ so well and would be great food for thought.

Many thanks,
Jemima

Like you I like the quote from “The Medium is the Massage” but I note it was Alfred North Whitehead who made the observation:

The major advances in civilization are processes
that all but wreck the societies in which they occur.
