Video: Taxonomy for Community Knowledge Inventory

by Dan Robles

ny taxonomy that is used to classify information is a candidate for the classification of knowledge. This is because knowledge is related to information in a differential equation that also includes data and innovation (another blog post).

Where is The Knowledge Inventory?

by Dan Robles

Who Owns Your Content?

by Dan Robles

The epiphany:
Something very interesting happened when Facebook changed their terms of service.   People who use the Facebook platform (for free) organized themselves using the (free) platform to threaten the core validity of the same (free) platform.  This could not happen in any other industry.
Saving face?
Ownership is largely characterized by the ability of one party [...]

Web 3.0; An Elephant Never Forgets

by Dan Robles

The opportunity for America reminds me of the elephant that is convinced since birth that the slender rope tying him to the fence post is stronger than he.  When the elephant grows up, he still believes the rope is stronger even though the elephant now has gained the strength to pull the whole building down.  [...]

The Great Convergence

by Dan Robles

Hey Kids, It’s 3D:
The objective of this article is to discuss the Great Convergence of computer enabled society. Social media must not be allowed to converge to a single apex – rather, it must converge to 3 distinct and tangible dimensions.
The factors of production for the industrial economy are land, labor, and capital.  If you [...]

Finally, A Definition for Innovation

by Dan Robles

[In earlier post we identified the 5 essential elements of a market economy. What would be the currency of an innovation economy? Currency is anything that serves as a medium of exchange, a stored value, and a standard of value. Basically we are asking; What are those things that people are out in the World [...]

The Next Great American “Hail Mary” Pass

by Dan Robles

The Game
The knowledge economy will be outsourced to low cost countries. There is little rational analysis that suggests otherwise.  Information, knowledge and innovation are profoundly connected – lose one and you lose the other two … and so goes our innovation potential. The very technology invented and developed by American knowledge workers is the exact [...]

Social Media; The Opportunity of a Century

by Dan Robles

The Perfect Storm:
We are at an historic time in human history; one that may never repeat itself again. The current financial crisis may provide just enough disruption for a completely new economic paradigm to emerge; the Innovation Economy.  We cannot squander this moment arguing over common logon for our Twitter and Facebook profiles; a far [...]

Social Media; The Central Bank for Knowledge Assets?

by Dan Robles

It is very interesting to watch Social Media follow familiar trajectories as earlier paradigms in finance.  I see many social media platforms struggling to make human knowledge tangible in their respective markets.  The challenge is so simple, yet so complex.  Let the litmus test for knowledge tangibility be as follows; “Can you buy groceries with [...]

The Tangibility of Knowledge

by Dan Robles

Knowledge Tangibility should be the most important conversation in Social Media circles given the current financial situation in America.
I lived through financial devaluation in another country and the effects were crushing: after the run on the banks, there will be a run on Walmart.  People will buy TVs, small appliances, shoes, and useful stuff that [...]

2008 Financial Crisis: The End Game

by Dan Robles

The year is 2020, no burning cities, no mass hysteria, no bread lines; the economy is on an exponential growth curve.  The financial crisis of 2008 ended in an anticlimactic sort of way.  Sure, lots of hedge fund bankers were unemployed for a while and many companies once deemed titans of industry have disappeared, but [...]

Social Enterprise; The Vetting Mechanism; #1

by Dan Robles

I read many articles with rants like “all this social network stuff is cool – but show us the money”.  Innovation Economics offers a way to see new markets and new businesses that are currently hidden by “the old way” of doing things.   This article is part of a series called ‘Business Plans of [...]
