A chaotic teenager leads the future of CSR
28 luglio 2010
The video I’m going to reflect upon is just phenomenal (it is so motivating, and I don’t think “full of shit” as Loic Le Meur defines the speaker during the speech, obviously kidding and kindly trying to annoy him).
Maybe I’m a bit late as it’s about LeWeb 2009 … by the way the speaker is Gary Vaynerchuck.
Who’s Gary Vaynerchuck?!
Probably this name reminds something to some of you … but for those who don’t know him, here there are his website, his book and a sentence from the video:
“we live in a world where the platform, not fucking Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr [in which he's investing at the moment], the internet, that thing, the internet, that’s 15 years old, by the way the consumer internet is only 15 years old, the fucking thing is it hasn’t had sex yet and it’s dominating.” (That’s ALSO not just him.)
Actually he gives his best on stage during a talk, so if you’ve never watched him you HAVE TO remedy
Gary speaks about passion, as always.
The passion is the only thing needed to run a business nowadays.
“My hope is that people recognize how big this social shift is right now, how the cost of getting involved and building a business around what you love is so low.“
However, the purpose of this post, is to exploit an anecdote he reports, to remark what, in my opinion, is the future not just of the CSR (that I hope will disappear soon – I probably will write on this topic later on) but of the entire organization: understanding the “art” of living the chaos, or managing stakeholders if you like.
Stakeholder Management, which overlaps (mainly in the CSR field) with the activity of engaging with stakeholders (“users” in Gary’s speech), is, in fact, the forge of the next future tools in this way.
