Me the Media: The Rise of the Conversation Society

In this innovative keynote Menno teaches the audience the importance of digital identities and the rise of “Me Media”. He will explain how the concept of hyperego’s is changing the way we make decisions and how power is shifting from institutions and organizations to the hyperlinked individual.

This shift is inevitable and as much a technological shift as it is a shift in generations: from digital immigrants to digital natives. The VINT Digital Natives Advisory Board, presented in a small video production,  can be incorporated in the presentation.
Although organizations can barely digest all new media like Facebook and Twitter, we are already at the beginning of a next step in the new media revolution. In this presentation Menno will show what will be next – the mobile platform, augmented reality and a whole new virtu-real world that’s being shaped, full of business opportunities and threats.

Innovation Happens Elswehere: crowdsourcing and communitybuilding

This keynote presentation is taking the audience back to the origins of virtual communities. Menno will give a lot off examples of crowdsourcing: form airplanes to consumer goods and medicine. In the analysis of the examples Menno will explain the audience that crowdsourcing can be applied to many different sorts of work. Menno will come with some hands-on advise for successful crowdsourcing strategies. But he will also inspire the audience to come up with new ideas on how to produce business value for the own organization based on this new concept. If requested, Menno can go into more detail on how open-source-software production has changed the IT-industry as a reflection on what could happen in other industries.

IT-Governance 2.0

As the role of information technology in the organization is becoming more important by the day, organizations face the important question how to manage IT successfully. Conventional wisdom says that good IT-governance depends on a Cobit-like framework or some other complex methodology. In a changing world however, organizations are experiencing that they are not in control of their IT-Governance. Menno will explain the audience the basic concept that is causing this, and how organization go from control to drift with their IT-implementations if they do not adept their mindset to the modern 2.0 world. In this 2.0 world cloudcomputing, social media and software as as a service are the new issues, and governance of information is more likely something that’s happening outside the company itself.
