The Emergence of Fansumers in Web3

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 18:22:00 +0400

Web3 is a mindset. Brands need to adopt a strategy of collaboration instead of competition.

Leaders need to communicate their brand values with the concept of 'Return on Engagement'.

Traditional ads don’t work anymore because 84% of millennials simply don’t trust traditional advertising. They don’t like the pushy, disingenuous nature of commercials and will do anything within their power to skip, fast forward, and even block any content that even hints at advertising. Of course, there are some brands that are good at creating digital ads; but being creative, emotive, and innovative while melding the components of a successful ad together is tough — and few brands succeed.

Fandom is here to stay and it is imperative to migrate the existing consumers to fansumers - to stay relevant.

Climate Solutions In Web3

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 09:36:00 +0400

The climate crisis demands substantive, clear and simplified methods for billions of people to engage in solving it. Humankind is at an ‘all hands on deck’ moment, and Web3 and blockchain technology can help to change the story.

The answer begins with transparently exposing all data, with all processes, payments and carbon credits on chain so that we move beyond the "trust us we're experts" charade that the previous generations of carbon credits companies have used as a way to complicate, obfuscate and limit participation to the point that they've perhaps done more harm than measurable good.

Join carbon expert Josh Knauer, blockchain impact expert Erin Grover and impact entrepreneur Dr. Jane Thomason to understand how we can rise and heal nature at scale in the midst of this global crisis.

Building a real economy in the virtual world

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 23:04:00 +0400

Our vision of the metaverse is a world where technology fades to the background and immersive experiences come to the forefront; a world of opportunity to learn, earn, create, play, train, relax, dream and explore.

The metaverse will undoubtedly boost the ownership economy, where virtual spaces and objects can be tokenized as digital assets for transactions, encouraging content creation and facilitating markets in the new economy.

With the metaverse seamlessly available on any connected device, the addressable market will grow exponentially to billions of people, with a corresponding proliferation in content generation and commercial activity.

Join Dirk Lueth, Saumen Chakraborty and Stéphanie Bretonniere as they share their real life and virtual world experiences in leveraging technology to create a better world.

Community Building in Web3

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 11:43:00 +0400

Success is not just about having a great product that can convince investors. Decentralised projects succeed or fail based on the strength of their communities.

Web3 has brought the value of community building into the spotlight.

The most successful blockchains, DAOs, Metaverse and NFT projects, defi protocols, and decentralized marketplaces all have one thing in common. They are all powered by engaged communities.

Web3 communities provide a framework for members to contribute to what is being built and to benefit from its success.

HOW TOKENOMICS IS SHAPING THE NEW ECONOMY?

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 09:47:00 +0400

As the web further decentralizes based on blockchains, we are seeing new technology business models incorporate digital tokens into transaction flows by using digitally native tokens as a medium of payment for transacting on the platform.

The boom in financial markets is also a cause-and-effect situation of decentralized financial applications as well as the tokenization of unique, or nonfungible tokens and assets.

Understanding of 'Tokenisation' is going to be mandatory to succeed in the new world of Web3, which is going to be driven by tech enabled economies.

How can brands transition from Web2 to Web3?

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 09:53:00 +0400

Web 3.0 as we have familiarised ourselves in the last 2 years, is known to be the next iteration or stage of the web (internet).

The term was first coined by Gavin Wood in 2014, a co-founder of Ethereum. He believed that it will be a decentralised ecosystem where services will move away from a centrally hosted service provider, and move towards a purely algorithmic governance, and is visible and managed by everybody.

Today, we are at the beginning of the innovation curve and many companies are seeking to prepare themselves for the evolution from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0.

This webinar aims to elaborate the history of the internet, the gradual iterations since, and how companies can better prepare themselves to adopt Web 3.0.

We will explore the meaning of decentralisation, how blockchain technology, as a key technology will be a part of this change, as well as exploring the aspects of trust, transparency and traceability.

Is the Metaverse the future of fashion and luxury retail?

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 10:33:00 +0400

These are exciting times.

The Metaverse is creating a new world through an immersive virtual reality – one in which we can live, work, play and shop.

Artificial intelligence and augmented reality, the two important components of the Metaverse could open up opportunities for new business models that leverage virtual fashion.

Technology that allows for 360-degree views has already been used to present designer collections through online showrooms, and avatars of models have walked 3-D virtual runways.

At a minimum, fashion’s foray into the Metaverse suggests promising new innovative ways for consumer engagement.

While no one can predict exactly how this rapidly growing digital universe will shape up, the opportunities it presents are exciting—for luxury brands, retailers, and indeed for consumers themselves.

Demystifying Web3

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 09:18:00 +0400

Web3 is here. It’s time to prepare for the seismic shift.

Are you ready?

The Web3 ushers in a new era of the internet characterized by decentralization, transparency, and autonomy.

As the world gravitates toward the Web3 standard, user data will increasingly be held on the blockchain or in decentralized storage solutions, which will give users more power over their data than ever before.

Blockchain technology offers:

Immutability, or the permanent, unalterable nature of a blockchain ledger

Validation, or the way in which users can verify transactions are legitimate

Disintermediation, or the absence of intermediaries between advertisers and users

Profound security, made possible by cryptography and decentralization

Ease of transfer, which makes it simple and quick to send and receive tokens.

As a result, people will be able to choose exactly which brands they consent to share data with, what data they wish to share, and for how long.

Power will finally rest with, we the people!

Finally, the long awaited marriage of Strategy & Culture

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:14:00 +0400

Black swan events rapidly change the ecosystem and render static strategic plans obsolete. Our globalized planet, with its many varieties of destabilizing factors, is breeding black swans.

Culture defines how employees act in stressful situations, how they respond to pressure and carry themselves when challenges are presented. Culture manifests in how they treat partners, clients, and each other. In a moment of disruption it is culture, not strategy that will determine how your people will react.

Companies require a culture that can be relied on to produce strategic action when the plan is no longer valid. That requires a strategic approach to culture design.

Companies who have taken a strategic approach to creating culture are legends in the literature. Satya Nadella increased Microsoft’s market cap by 8x and totally rewrote the story of who Microsoft is by focusing on a widespread culture change.

Does your culture support your strategy?
What does it look like to strategically design culture?

We will discuss how to build a strategic culture and a culturally driven strategy.

IS THE REAL ESTATE IN THE METAVERSE FOR REAL?

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 09:31:00 +0400

The metaverse has the potential to become a multi-trillion-dollar part of the world economy in the coming decades.

The total amount spent on virtual land in the metaverse has surpassed $700 million as the metaverse economy continues to show sustained growth. This shows how popular metaverse has become not just in terms of users, but also in terms of economic value.

Questions to be answered:

Can You Truly Own Anything in the Metaverse?

Is ownership in the Metaverse the same as ownership in the physical world?

Which laws and regulations apply in the Metaverse?

Interoperability and portability are defining features of the metaverse, meaning you should be able to carry your non-real-estate virtual property – your avatar, your digital art, your magic wand – from one virtual world to another.

But today’s virtual worlds are not connected to one another!

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 16:05:25 +0400

Born in an artist's family I was in contact with Art since my childhood. Although my father has taught me to paint, I have studied it at the university anyway. Through my artistic work over several years, I was always fascinated by Fashion and its power to reveal, underline and even to change a personality. As I painted my artwork, I included fashion in them, but always felt, that something was not making me happy. Something of what I was longing for: the 3rd dimension and the movement as the 4th dimension.

Building an inclusive & accessible Metaverse

Wed, 18 May 2022 14:50:00 +0400

One goal of the metaverse is to replicate the feeling of real-world connection by creating immersive virtual environments. This provides a unique opportunity to involve participation in society by leveraging virtual technology.

However, as we have transitioned to the information age and a digital economy, we have witnessed how pre-existing inequalities & barriers present in the material world can further combine with digital inequalities, further disenfranchising and magnifying the inequalities of those who already face the greatest adversity.

Web 1 & 2 products, services have largely been designed around people who are already most able to participate. So much so that we have created inaccessibility and inequality because there hasn’t been done enough to anticipate the attitudinal, financial, social, enablement, or policy barriers that marginalized groups face.

This webinar aims to give you useful frameworks, models and perspectives that should be considered throughout the development of metaverse and Web 3.0 in the pursuit of a kinder, ethical, more inclusive, digitally-enabled future.

This webinar will be presented by Jamie Bykov-Brett who is a Social Entrepreneur, Workshop Facilitator, Metaverse Architect, TEDx speaker & Digital Economic Justice Campaigner.

Designing the Metaverse

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 09:01:00 +0400

Creating your business model canvas, with a spotlight on design and fashion.

The Metaverse is being built at the speed of thought. Are you thinking about how and where your brand should play, or indeed not play?

Either way, what do you and your team need to consider as you decide to enter or stay away from this bourgeoning emerging market, mooted to be US$ 1.5trillion in a decade.

In our second X-factor of 2022, we take a look at the smart ingredients of a business canvas, with a spotlight on design and fashion.

The Metaverse is fast populating, with leading designer brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Zara, and Burberry seemingly as comfortable in the Metaverse as they are on a Fashion Week catwalk.

But what are they creating? What are they wearing? Indeed, what should brands, products, and even people look like the Metaverse?

Here’s what we notice.

Digital fashion is not limited to clothing for avatars. It’s a growing fashion subculture that includes the digital design and modeling of real-world clothing.

But most significantly, designs for both real and digital clothing & accessories are being captured on a blockchain. This way these digital assets can be ‘sold’ as NFTs or Non-fungible Tokens, creating a whole new possibility for value creation by way of ‘Collectibles’.

Indeed, we are also seeing digital clothes rendered onto real people. And there’s an early school of thought suggesting digital fashion could one-day eclipse people’s needs for real, tangible clothes.

Others are mooting that outfit repetition will become an outdated concern, since digital-only clothes exist solely for sartorial performance and self-expression, beyond the constraints of physical reality.

Let’s unpack, unravel and explore.

Join our global panel of Meta Shapers as they share their journey into the Metaverse.

PLAN FOR IMPACT: The Big Disconnect - From Purpose to Impact

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 10:05:00 +0400

Living a purpose-driven life and knowing your “why” have been goals that inspired us and brought fresh perspectives. The business world too embraced it as purpose statements replaced mission statements and brand followers rallied around a bigger purpose. A good start. But this decade demands more of us. We need to turn an inspiring “why” into powerful, change-making impacts that create a new story in the world, now. Yet, this is where the big disconnect lies. Moving beyond buzzwords, how do we create something of tangible value in the world? How do we translate our awakening to purpose and weave it into our daily lives? We’ve invited a few Impact Makers to come and share their stories about turning purpose into impact. While their journeys differ, they share a common theme: they all each started with an idea that asked “what if?”. As Sir David Attenborough said in his COP26 address. “If working apart, we’re a force powerful enough to destabilize our planet, surely by working together, we’re a force powerful enough to save it.” The time is now to become a force powerful enough to create real and lasting change. Turning purpose into powerful impact is how we’ll do it. Join us to hear about actual case studies of people living their purpose, becoming an impactful force, and changing lives. Then, we invite you to get started on yours.

Is your brand future-sensing the Web 3.0, Meta, and NFT’s?

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 14:31:00 +0400

Web 3.0, the third generation of the Internet, is a decentralized version of the widely-used, centrally-controlled, two-dimensional Internet.

With the support of the Metaverse, Web3 heralds an inclusive, collective, open cyberspace. Indeed, the internet has morphed into a three-dimensional experience. Meaning, as reality and digital reality fuse you too can fuse into the Metaverse.

Meta means beyond. And Web3 allows us to travel beyond, where virtual reality and augmented reality join with other realities creating mixed reality experiences known as MXR. It is also possible to include the haptic capability in the mix, bringing our sense of touch and feeling to the Verse.

Turning to numbers. The Web3-based Metaverse liberates users from the ‘leased’ model of Web2, and opens the doors to the ‘ownership economy’. Recent reports predict the Metaverse marketplace will top US$1.5T in less than ten years.

Much of this value is likely to be attributed to Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs. NFTs are a new type of digital good or product born from open protocols which in turn are swiftly nourishing a fast-evolving, richly-integrated marketplace.

In every ‘something new’ there are the early adopters, the first movers, the Edgewalkers.

Our first Xfactor conversation of 2022 brings together seven Meta Shapers in conversation with Susan Furness, long since known as the region’s alternative strategist, hosted by the founder of UAE’s first internet company, Sharad Agarwal.

The Trio – Web3, the Metaverse, and NFTs, are exploding.
Are you ready? Is your team ready? Is your brand ready?

The Time to Be Ready is Now.

Calling Edgewalkers to Work. The marriage between Strategy and Spirituality in the post-corona world

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 11:22:00 +0400

In this timely Café conversation, Susan Furness draws insights from US-based Dr. Judi Neal and Dubai-based serial, global entrepreneur, Sharad Agarwal.

In her 2006 book, Edgewalkers; people and organisations that take risks, build bridges and break new ground, Dr. Neal identifies the edge as a sort of ‘holding bay hosting alternative thinking and interesting people.'

She names five Qualities of Being and five Skills as well as five Archetypes of Change, including the Edgewalker. Has Dr. Neal identified ingredients critical to Now, as we fumble, dream and attempt to plan for a tomorrow we now know we don’t know?

We ask Dr, Neal and Sharad Agarwal how will these nourish the heart of business, East, West, North and South?

What‘s Next? Return On Engagement (ROE) - The New Metrics

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 18:32:00 +0400

We predict that 'Return On Engagement,' will become the new growth metric organisations will need to put at their centre.

ROE will be reliant on a team’s ability to activate the inactive people in their networks.

To activate disengaged people, you better be able to offer listening, care and connection in an authentic way.

This isn’t about traditional marketing that is mostly attraction based. This is figuring out how to drive growth through care and authentic engagement and connection of others.

Activate Your Hybrid Event Strategy: Scale Events for Stronger ROI

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 21:43:56 +0400

Conversations about hybrid events are on the rise, but what exactly is a hybrid event? The answer isn’t that simple, since hybrid events can be a combination of event elements, being consumed by audience members across various channels. With so many variables, marketers have the ability to create real impact with customization.

Different hybrid event types expand the organization’s opportunities to engage with prospects and customers beyond “live” event dates and to repurpose content for evergreen experiences. With increased opportunities to collect engagement data, marketing and sales organizations gain the insight to understand more about buying intent and the prospect’s journey. With the right pre- and post-event strategies, hybrid events can reach more attendees, accelerate the buying journey, boost sales, and improve ROI.

Key Take-Aways:

How to leverage the full lifecycle of hybrid events
How to use attendee insights to create personalized event experiences at scale
How to establish more meaningful connections with prospects and customers
How to track key metrics that drive ROI and inform the buyer’s journey
