Social Means Business
I just read Kate’s post on today’s announcement about Dachis Group acquiring Powered. I had to chuckle, because those of us in that “alternate universe, E20″ used to think the same about the social media space. In fact, I joked to Peter Kim this year at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Santa Clara, “How does it feel not […]
What Works in Social Business
At our recent Social Business Summit 2010 in Austin, I gave a presentation about the state of Social Business Strategies in 2010, and more importantly what is working and why. The 56 slides are included below, in the event that you weren’t able to attend the summit. They cover topics such as social business benefits, […]
Business Partner Optimization: The Third Pillar of Social Business Design
We choose business partners because of their competency, resources and reliability. They become a critical lynchpin in delivering value to the customer. Whether it is a strategic R&D partner or an independent truck driver moving your good across the continent, isn’t it time to think about those relationships in a Social Business Design light?

Dachis Acquisition Machine Reaches the 2.0 Adoption Council
Emerging Enterprise 2.0 Consultancy the Dachis Group has just acquired The 2.0 Adoption Council. I have mixed feelings about the deal. On one hand I am happy for Susan Scrupski, fellow Enterprise Irregular and E2.0 evangelist / thought leader. On the other hand I would have preferred to see the Council remain independent – I’ve […]
The 2.0 Adoption Council is now part of The Dachis Group

History
Let’s begin at the beginning. The beginning of the social business (r)evolution didn’t begin in with web 2.0, it began with web 1.0 in the mid-90s. From research I published in 2000, we wrote this about the company Jeff founded in 1995, Razorfish:

Going to the edge of Social Business
Dion Hinchcliffe and I were in New York this week and stopped by Stowe Boyd’s Social Business Edge conference. Much in the same spirit of our own Social Business Summit in Austin, this conference was a single day and densely packed with some of the best speakers I have heard in years. The speaking slots […]
Promoted Tweets: Experiment Now!
Yesterday’s big news that Twitter is finally unveiling a revenue model has been greeted with a flood of digital ink. “Promoted Tweets“, or “paid placement” of advertiser’s content in user’s Twitter streams will work like this:
“Promoted Tweets… will show up when Twitter users search for keywords that the advertisers have bought to link to their […]
The e20 Experts Corner: Shrinking to Expand
The Council frequently conducts Q&A teleconference call-ins with e20 gurus. The calls are very casual, but are always illuminating and worth the 60-minute investment for everyone who shows up. Last week’s guru Q&A was with Jeff Dachis, head of The Dachis Group here in Austin.
As I listened to Jeff’s preamble about who he was and where […]
The End of the Beginning: Hinchcliffe & Company Is Acquired By The Dachis Group
It’s been a very rewarding road the last few years with customers and colleagues as we’ve built up our premier consulting practice into a well-respected boutique services firm.
