Benchmark Capital’s Matt Cohler On Jane Austen, Mobile Penetration And Dodging Questions Like A Pro
But what they’re trying to do is create a fundamentally better – an order of magnitude better – approach to enabling enterprises and organizations to collaborate. So it’s a reinvention from the ground up, starting with the technology, up, of how people communicate with one another and collaborate with one another in organizational contexts. MC: I was at McKinsey in Silicon Valley before LinkedIn, and then I was at a startup in Here’s the last of our Davos Tech Interviews: Former Facebook exec and current Benchmark Capital general partner Matt Cohler sat down with me for twenty minutes on the last day of the event to talk about Facebook (no comment), Twitter (no comment), LinkedIn (no comment) and Zynga (nada, and he’s not even a stockholder in that one).

Workforce collaboration
However, this McKinsey Report on Using technology to improve workforce collaboration actually held my attention.
The authors describe how companies can see large savings by using web technologies for collaboration (not a new concept). P&G increased its use of collaborative web technologies and in addition mandated that 50% of new product development come from outside the company. I find that many reports from large consulting firms are like pablum; no grist and easy to swallow by the masses. For instance, Cisco saved $100 million by mandating the use of web

Social Media Goes Mainstream
Now before I present my case for the mainstreaming of shared, collaborative media, we should more carefully define the term that captures this best: social media . What are the compelling datapoints that tell use that social media is changing the landscape of communication, collaboration, and personal interaction? Like John Hagel and John Seely Brown observed in the McKinsey Quarterly a year ago or so, While some will dispute what mainstream is defined as exactly -- with my own personal favorite being when my grandparents and their grandchildren both are doing whatever is under discussion -- the rise of consumer-powered media platforms has all the hallmarks of being something that's not only here to stay, but something that's increasingly pushing everything else off the stage.

Web 2.0 Predictions for 2008
The well regarded McKinsey & Company predicted last year that advertising will actually have fairly significant growth challenges for the next five years from high demand and lack of maturity in the management of online advertising through traditional outlets. Twitter was likely just the first in an era of fundamentally network-oriented applications with communications and collaboration at their design core. It's the first work day of the new year and I thought I'd take some time to offer up my predictions for what will happen on the leading edge of the Internet this year.

Eric Schmidt on innovation, reflection
McKinsey Quarterly interviews Google’s CEO
One of the things that we’ve tried very hard to avoid at Google is the sort of divisional structure and the business unit structure that prevents collaboration across units. But by doing that you cut down the informal ties that, in an open culture, drive so much collaboration. The Quarterly: Could you tell us about how Google innovates?
Eric Schmidt : Innovation always has been driven by a person or a small team that has the luxury of thinking of a new idea and pursuing it.
