Wim – You are right! UX is a key factor that we often take for granted. However, systems that are designed with the users in mind most often come from the consumer side which gets the fact that ease of use is key. If you can make it easy, natural, and pervasive, adoption is an after thought. Good point! Anyone else have another point to add? – Ray

Ray,
as innovator at Sogeti Netherlands I completely agree with your analysis. I think that there is another field of play however that can make or break succes for enterprises in the near future. It does unfortunately not start with an ‘s’ but with a ‘U’. The ‘U’ of user experience.
Since consumers will drive a lot of future interaction with enterprises, and many of these consumers are mobile, seeking access with some sort of smart device, and these consumers can choose out of many services/companies/apps the ‘User Experience’ of the interface must be very good to compete with others. I do not only mean sliding, tipping and entering letters. What I mean is that applications in the near future should more and more have interfaces that create a multisenses experience voice, touch, sound, even smell is possible, to stand out.

User Experience is like safe, simple, and the other ss where we should focus.

Gavin – thanks for the input. It may be that all these pillars are enablers as many arguments can be made that mobile and social enable game theory (and analytics) in place. =) Thanks for the input! What do others think? – Ray

Rather than pillars, I see cloud and game theory (and analytics) as underlying enablers. For example, the Cloud can enable the interactions between Mobile and Social and we use Analytics to baseline, measure and report on effectiveness etc.

This also helps in terms of innovation – with analytics and baselines in place, the business case around the pillars becomes easier to determine.

Matt – thanks for the points and comments. We are too bogged down in process and not focused enough on outcomes. The reality – we need to get our operational details down so we an innovate and its hard to do both in parallel. What do other people think? – Ray

I’m pretty new to your blog and first time commenter.

This is a great read really I wanted to pick up and support a couple of other comments. I believe the future will definitely see growth in location based services despite the general globalization trend with Internet services. For instance I’m involved with Recruitment Software, I”m very happy that a lot of my services are global, my servers and a fair bit of my software services are cloud based via an innovative company based here in the UK but my recruitment process management is local to me in the UK, perhaps for obvious reasons. I think as we get more global the requirement for LBS becomes more apparent.

Si’s earlier point about getting out there and playing on the web with the new cloud based products and technologies really hits home, innovation is everywhere out there, perhaps many of us are just too bogged down in business processes to grasp it hence we become followers when someone else innovates.
