Hi –
SAP is the central nervous system of over 50,000 companies worldwide. Seeing the enormous importance of value networks and enterprise mashups, they are among the sponsors of your NYC Value Networks Consortium Summit.

Scott Feldman, SAP’s Director of Global Customer Ecosystems, will appear. Scott leads SAP’s vast online customer communities, with over 1.1M participants. See: http://www.vncluster.com/Bios/scott_feldman__bio.htm.
SAP is also the pioneer of Industry Value Networks.

These essential value network patterns are the future of the social enterprise, productivity, innovation, performance and overall excellence.
Years past it wasn’t really necessary for all enterprise knowledge workers to be intimate with the traditional monolithic ERP system. Now that has all changed. ERP is rapidly spanning the firewall and defining the social computing and knowledge ecosystems of the future. Mashups are a critical manifestation of this stunning transformation. Mashups are by definition for all value network roles concerned with information, collaboration and knowledge.
Individuals must achieve mastery of new social information environments and value networks. You must activate your role in the key practice networks of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0. Theory is fine but practice is critical. There is no such thing as a vicarious value network.
