The Official SlideShare on the Collaborative Economy

Jeremiah OwyangIndustry Analyst

Jeremiah Owyang

Why is the crowd becoming more powerful than companies?

Jeremiah Owyang

How much will it hurt when the crowd doesn’t need to buy from companies?

Jeremiah Owyang

What should a company do to respond and stay profitable?

Jeremiah Owyang

Why embrace a Collaborative Economy?

Jeremiah Owyang

Let’s look at the past to see where we’re going

Jeremiah Owyang

The First Era: A few people could publish on the internet

Source: Altimeter Group, the Collaborative Economy Report, 2013

Jeremiah Owyang

Few of uscan publish,

I talk, and you listen.

Jeremiah Owyang

The Second Era: Anyone can publish using social tools

Source: Altimeter Group, the Collaborative Economy Report, 2013

Jeremiah Owyang

Hmmm.I’ve lost

media power.

We canspeak our minds,

and heartrusted opinions.

Jeremiah Owyang

The Third Era: Using same social tools people share products

Jeremiah Owyang

Using these social sharing sites, I can easily get products and services

I can get goods at no cost from friends. I don’t need to shop

at companies.

Jeremiah Owyang

They stolemy cheese.

*Sniffle*

What role do corporations play if people don’t need them?

Jeremiah Owyang

The first instinct is for companies to fight it

Jeremiah Owyang

But they don’t have to fight –they can join

Jeremiah Owyang

Ownership and access is shared between corporations, startups and people. The Collaborative Economy.

An Opportunity: A New Economic Model

Jeremiah Owyang

The only way, is to let go to gain more.

For companies to succeed in the collaborative economy

Jeremiah Owyang

Question: Is this a business disruption?

Jeremiah Owyang

Sharing is not new, our Moms taught us to do it!

Jeremiah Owyang

But now, people can use technology to do it at a scale without boundaries

Jeremiah Owyang

Imagine you’re going on a business trip

And you can tap the crowd to get what you need—without buying from companies

Jeremiah Owyang

Transportation

Use another person’s car–instead of a taxi corporation.

Jeremiah Owyang

Lyft enables crowd to be transportation –avoiding taxis

Jeremiah Owyang

Hospitality

…use AirBnb and stay at someone’s house–rather than a hotel.

Jeremiah Owyang

AirBnb enables crowd to be a hotel

Jeremiah Owyang

Funding

…use peer lending websites to borrow money from the crowd–rather than go to a bank.

Jeremiah Owyang

LendingClub enables crowd to be a bank

Jeremiah Owyang

Staffing

…hire people from the crowd–rather than working with traditional staffing agencies or HR.

Jeremiah Owyang

oDesk enables crowd to be a workforce

Jeremiah Owyang

Facilities

…rent office space from other companies that have extra space–rather than work with a traditional property manager.

Jeremiah Owyang

LiquidSpace enables companies to rent from each other

Jeremiah Owyang

Food and beverage

…enjoy a home cooked meal from someone’s home kitchen—rather than eat at a restaurant.

Jeremiah Owyang

Feastly enables your neighbors’ kitchens to be a restaurant

Jeremiah Owyang

Goods and products

…get goods and products from the crowd at no cost for our office and home–rather than buying at a store.

Jeremiah Owyang

Yerdle enables neighbors to gift goods–rather than buy

Jeremiah Owyang

The impact of sharing can be quite severe

Customers can buy once –and share many times amongst each other–reducing the need to buy again.

Jeremiah Owyang

A properly shared car is…

$270,000Lost Revenueof Auto Sales

(1 shared car = 9 cars at average of $30k each.)

Jeremiah Owyang

What’s causing this? Three major factors.

Jeremiah Owyang

Societal factors: Access is more important than ownership

• Younger generation, or saddled by debt, are realizing access to goods is better than owning them.

• Population density and many global cultures are accustomed to sharing.

• It means, people don’t need to buy and own things to get what they need.

Jeremiah Owyang

Economic factors: Activate idle resources

• As population grows, earth’s resources stay fixed.

• It means that: “it pays to buy quality, especially when we can re-use or resell to others.”

Jeremiah Owyang

Technology enables easy sharing globally and locally

• 87 phones per 100 people on planet

• Three quarters of startups use social tech like Facebook

Jeremiah Owyang

Venture Investors fuel this movement –these startups won’t go away in near time.

Out of 200 collaborative economy startups, total funding was over $2 billion

Of those funded, the average was $28 million (May 2013, Lyft raised $60m)

Jeremiah Owyang

The sharing revolution isan unstoppable movement*

*Caveat: The only way to stop this movement, is to stop the internet.

Jeremiah Owyang

What can companies do when they’ve lost power to the crowd?

There is a solution

Jeremiah Owyang

Collaborative Economy: Value Chain

The key is to change the way we think:

• Products become services

• Services become marketplaces

• Marketplaces build your products

Jeremiah Owyang

1) Company as a Service

• Products become services

• Customers want access to products, but may not want to own them

• Companies must change the relationship and offer

• Renting• subscribing• or event lending.

Jeremiah Owyang

Company as a service isn’t new!

Jeremiah Owyang

Reality: Toyota and BMW rent cars, as a service

• For companies that have high durable goods, unattainable luxuries, idle inventories, or high consideration purchases, allow them to now be a service.

• Example: Toyota and BMW now rent cars from their dealership in SF bay area.

• To get ahead of changing consumer needs, Toyota and BMW are now services.

Jeremiah Owyang

Dollar Shave Club offers razors as a service

Jeremiah Owyang

Peugeot offers Mobility as a service–even renting vans, cars, buses, and bikes

Jeremiah Owyang

2) Motivate a Markeplace

• Shift services to become a marketplace

• Motivating a marketplace is specific. You can’t own the marketplace, you can’t manage it, you simply must help usher them along. In this use case, the goal is to get the people to do these actions among themselves.

Jeremiah Owyang

Shifting services to become a marketplace

• If your company offers services, like a hospitality company serves guests, then learn how to tap into the marketplaces that are already forming in the sharing economy.

• There are a number of new activities that people can perform, including resell, co-own, swap goods, lend to each other, or gifting.

Jeremiah Owyang

Motivate a Market

• People are bypassing hotels to stay at unique experiences, using websites like Airbnb.

• Example: Rather than stand by the wayside, Lewis discovered a new market opportunity for his guest room to be certified as Marriott certified.

• A large brand brings TRUST.

Jeremiah Owyang

Motivate a Market

• Marriot would then funnel trusted guests, perhaps from a loyalty program, and even offer maid, food, or concierge services.

• Everyone wins: Lewis gets a trusted guest, the guest gets a local experience at a certified home, and Marriot gets a cut of the transactions –that they would have missed out on completely.

Jeremiah Owyang

ScotteVest enables second market

Jeremiah Owyang

Patagonia enables second market and altruism

Jeremiah Owyang

3) Collaborative Economy: Value Chain

• In this third phase, companies who have marketplaces, must activate them to build their future products.

• We call this “provide a platform.” It means that companies must empower their crowds to build future products and services.

Jeremiah Owyang

Provide a Platform

This is the hardest level –but yields the most benefits.

Jeremiah Owyang

Collaboration

Many startups are already collaborating with users:

-Ideation sites like UserVoice co-ideate new products

-Kickststarter co-funds new ideas

-Quickly co-builds new products

Jeremiah Owyang

Imagine if collaboration was extended to:

• Co Funding

• Co Ideation

• Co Creation

• Co Distribution

• Co Marketing

• Co Selling

• Co Revenue

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Fund new products like Kickstarter

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Design products like Nike

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Develop like Quirkly

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Customize like Etsy

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Produce with 3D Printers

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Storage of Products with Lockitron

Jeremiah Owyang

Co-Deliver with Deliv

Jeremiah Owyang

A crowd built a car: Wikispeed

Community led project that:

Is crowd co-funded, co-designed, and co-built a working 100MPG car.

The crowd designs components, 3D prints them, and mails them to central location for assembly.

Car is being sold at $25K per auto.

Jeremiah Owyang

Collaboration

It may be hard to tell the difference between employees and customers as new products are built from the crowd.

But the costs of building are leveraged by the crowd, reducing the costs of the company.

Jeremiah Owyang

Radical –but Efficient: The Crowd Becomes the Company

In this future state, the crowd will efficiently fulfill nearly all corporate functions.

The only thing remaining,could be ecommerce software and a logo!

Jeremiah Owyang

Collaborative Economy: Value Chain

• The advanced company will deploy all three strategies.

• Startups that partner with corporations have opportunities that others don’t.

Jeremiah Owyang

What will challenge us as wemove forward?

Jeremiah Owyang

Opposing Market Forces Abound

1. Corporate mindset wants to hold onto control –and revenue models

2. Many governments, lobbyists, and institutions oppose

3. Fragmented startup scene creates confusion

4. Excess of startups creates uncertainty on which will last

Jeremiah Owyang

What are your benefits for letting go to the collaborative economy?

Jeremiah Owyang

More efficient, as the crowd helps you

1

2 A long-term relationship with your vested customers

3 New value created between people, means new revenues

4 If you act now, you will have first mover advantage

Benefits to letting go

Jeremiah Owyang

Collaborative Goal: Activate the market around you

Opportunity – Harness new business transactions that you were missing out on.

Take 20% cut from every market transaction.

Sell new value-added services.

Jeremiah Owyang

To gain this new economy and market, you must leap across, leaving behind old business models
