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
