Why nGenera? Why now?
A "perfect storm" of change is brewing under global business, driven by four broad forces:
- Web 2.0 (pervasive, broadband, mobile computing)
- The coming of age of the Net Generation (grown up digital)
- A social revolution (in which mass collaboration is superceding information as the focus of the web), and
- An economic revolution (in which the corporation as we know it is being reinvented - again)
As a result of these forces, new business models are emerging. The world's best organizations are taking advantage of peer production (e.g., Linux or Wikipedia); prosumers (asking customers to help design and redesign products and services); ideagoras (seeking the most qualified minds from outside the company as much as from within); platforms for innovation (making business functions available to third parties as "APIs", and leveraging similar features from other companies); and the global plant floor (true manufacturing and service processes, from anywhere to anywhere, designed anywhere).
These business models create a strong opportunity for strategy and IT leaders to pull their organizations up to a new level of competitive advantage. IT in particular has outgrown its position as a provider of networks and computing and is now a central component of innovation, growth and business transformation.
