Barry Libert: Social Networking

Talking about "Social Networking" in Las Vegas seems strange, but you're going to enjoy this general session from Barry Libert. Barry is Founder and Chairman of MZINGA , a platform provider for social networking applications. He and I just taped an ACORD Live! interview and I will post it as soon as our studio completes the cut-down version. He and I just went on and on.

Creating communities and engaging in social networking is what we do at ACORD. We have committees, working groups, domains, Teams.org, videos, podcasts and blogs. We're talking to Barry about how to take all of what we do to the next level. And the bottom line is that we need your help to do so. Because this is all about We rather than Me. See the book created by a community in the Books sidebar.

New Book

My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".

Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.

I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
