“Computer scientist Martin Grötschel analyzed the speed
with which a standard optimization problem could be solved
by computers over the period 1988-2003.
He documented a 43 million-fold improvement, which he
broke down into two factors: faster processors and better
algorithms embedded in software. Processor speeds
improved by a factor of 1,000, but these gains were
dwarfed by the algorithms, which got 43,000 times better
over the same period.”
Brynjolfsson, Erik; McAfee, Andrew. Race Against The Machine
#2 – Disruption Means How We Engage
our Staff in Technology Decisions Has to
Change.
People. Process. Information.
All of this translates into three
very different perspectives
that must be reconciled.

do this as
quickly and
cheaply as
possible?
Can I buy a
solution by
the drink?
How can I
do this
without
involving IT?

Association owns upgrading Vendor owns upgrading
Usability & mobility nice to have Usability & mobility core
Buy technology by the gallon Buy technology by the drink
Cloud maybe Cloud now

Association Community
1. Engagement is limited.

and know the data.
3. We think “members-
only.”

“discussions”
5. Mobile is a bit clunky.
LinkedIn Community
1. Lots of engagement
(but also a lot of
selling).
2. We don’t own the
platform and have no
data.
3. LinkedIn can sc*** us
anytime by changing
the terms.
