Socialization

The customers become

the product managers

Customers decide what

a product is for & how it’s best used.

Customer content provides the

feedback that drives product evolution.

Integration

The most important trend

is the need for organizations

to continuously refine how

tightly they integrate their

products, processes & content

The # 1 improvement in how

content is created & managed

is how closely it can be

integrated into the core

business processes

of the organization
