Effects of the Internet as Innovation: No More and Now New

The first wave of the Internet as a disruptive technological innovation has created game-changing and deal-changing effects on traditional social and organizational norms.

The effects associated with the second wave of this innovation have been given many names (Internet 2.0, Web 2.0, the read-write Web, etc.), but it’s worth examining the nature of this wave of change as we try to adjust as individuals, organizations, and society to where it has brought us so far, and where we might be going.

It can be helpful to consider a short list of what types of change this innovation has ushered in

Customer Experience Management: The Second Wave

Customer Experience Management is often seen as a marketing discipline emerging from the traditional customer service and customer relationship management niches to meet evolving needs that precede customer service and extend beyond the transactional focus of CRM.

What is missing from this picture is a perspective on CEM that links it to the sweeping changes ushered in by the adoption of the Internet for communications, commerce, and learning and the understanding of this field as an innovation in marketing practice that is the natural response to this wave of change.

About

Doc at work Welcome to my blog!

This blog is one of the software tools used to support communication and learning on the programhouse.com Web site.

Riding the Crest of Change is the motto of this blog and a phrase that I often use in describing the unifying topic area covered here: technology innovation and how it affects us (and vice versa).

As we reflect on this great wave of change and where it has carried us, we can see that it is dynamic and constantly growing. It is not merely technological, but social; not merely fixed, but mobile. We look forward as well, to where we sense it is moving so that we can catch and hold it in ways that help us continue to ride the crest of change.

I hope that you will find the on-going dialog that develops here of interest to you as well. Please feel free to offer your posted comments to enrich this dialog.

Thanks for joining us here and welcome aboard,

Doc
