Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
There is momentum here, and a need to start building out much of what was discussed.
Doc introduced the session with the slide deck here, wearing his hat as a founding member of Customer Commons, the .org working on the Intention Byway discussed at earlier IIW sessions and described in this blog, posed later.
His case is that the incumbent e-commece system hasn’t progressed past its dependence on the cookie, and perhaps never will; and that there is a need to stand up an alternate model, built on asynchronous pub-sub messaging and compute nodes that run apps that don’t have to come from the stores of Apple and Google.
First examples of target areas (where communities are already active) are food distribution in Michigan and real estate in Boston. Hadrian Zbarcea led the discussion of both, using slides from the deck above.
