We are very fortunate that, given the generational challenges we face today, we have tools that those that came before us could not possibly imagine.
An excellent write-up by Dion Hinchcliffe hit ZDNet this week. Using Web 2.0 to reinvent your business for the economic downturn outlines the strategic use of Web 2.0 for growth and resilience, specifically discussing eight strategies:
- Move to lower-cost online/SaaS versions of enterprise applications.
- Use Enterprise 2.0 to capture the knowledge and know-how of employees.
- Strategically move IT infrastructure to the cloud.
- Embrace new low-cost models for production such as crowdsourcing.
- Lower customer service costs by pro-active use of online customer communities.
- Reduce application development and integration time/expenditures with new platforms and techniques.
- Open your supply chain to partners on the Web.
- Overhauling and reinventing paper and digital workflow.
If you have an inkling of thought toward taking your business into the world of Web 2.0, this post will give you a constructive, practical breakdown of potential strategies you could deploy.
