What Does Disruption Mean?
5 Things.
#1 – Disruption Means Who We
Represent and the Challenges They Face
Are Radically Changing.
“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.
How can I
do this as
quickly and
cheaply as
possible?
Can I buy a
solution by
the drink?
How can I
do this
without
involving IT?

Is this

Is this

scalable?
secure?
Am I going
to be stuck
supporting

#3 – Disruption Means That We Need
to to Question Our Assumptions About
Our Core Technology Platforms.
Legacy Modern
AMS Suites drive processes Processes chosen best of breed
Everything winds up in the AMS Data attached to processes
Customization, not configuration Configuration, not customization
Driven by IT and specialists Driven by end users & the business
Closed or difficult APIs Open APIs
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
#4 – Disruption Means That Old
Definitions of “Community” Need to Be
Reinvented.
AGENDA:
5:00 PM - Registration/Networking/Cocktails
6:00 PM - Three Course Seated Dinner
6:45 PM - Presentation and Discussion
7:45 PM - Program Ends, Networking continues until 8:00 PM
VENUE:
Holiday Inn Capitol by the Smithsonian, 550 C Street, SW,
Washington DC 20024
Association Community
1. Engagement is limited.
2. We own the platform
and know the data.
3. We think “members-
only.”
4. We focus on
“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.
#5 – Disruption Means Looking at New
Models…
Step 1
• One person
(or a
couple)
reaches out
to start a
chapter.
This is you
(and a
friend,
maybe).
Step 2
• We help the
founder(s)
(you)
recruit a
small team
and launch
a website
Step 3
• You
produce
awesome
content,
throw great
events,
meet as a
team and
grow your
website.
Step 4
• You build a
community
around
food and
help an
entire
generation
eat more
intelligently.
#5 – Disruption Means Looking at New
Models…
“Engagement” in the Future will be all
about Platforms that are Open, focused
on Curated and User Generated
Content, Mobile, and Integrated with
Consumer Scale Social platforms.
What Does Disruption Mean? 5 Things.
1. Who We Represent and the Challenges They Face Are

2. How We Deploy Technology Has To Change.
3. We Need to to Question Our Assumptions About Our

4. Old Definitions of “Community” Need to Be

5. Engagement in the Future is all about Platforms that
