management needs to change too

Managing machines: top-down controlManaging machines: top-down control

Managing minds: top-down, bottom-up and outside-in collaboration

the old tools are falling short

• Accounting missing 80% of value

• Business models how to monetize knowledge?

• Organizational design org charts don’t explain how things really work

• Marketing social media taking control

• Strategic planning you can’t plan innovation from the top down

problem is reaching a crisis

1. Stagnant companies and economies

2. Innovation is urgently needed to survive in many industries

3. Culture, trust and co-creation are now understood as key to corporate success

4. Social technologies are empowering customers, stakeholders, employees to take control of conversations

the tipping point

consultants need new tools to help their clients deal with this social era

smarter-companies – we are building a community that empowers consultants with tools and continuous learning for

effective management of the only thing that counts in business today:

intangible capital

intangible capital is both:

a holistic view of organizations

…and a map of our community

our dual offerings reflect this

• Under the ICounts brand: We’re providing IC tools and training that can be used as a starting point for diverse consulting engagements (think DISC or Myers Briggs for entire firms)
