Purpose
of true B2B
|
- The purpose of B2B
Initiative is not just to connect people but to facilitate
the collaboration between
single entrepreneurs and businesses. The idea of
meetings to network and connect is the traditional way to
shake hands. We
will go one step forward and provide a tool to organize
entrepreneurs and businesses into groups or virtual
villages that can be networked and marketed.
This virtual collaboration will become the new way
to shake hands and the universal B2B way to do business
globally.

What
is a B2B Virtual Village?
|
-
A village can be considered
as several entrepreneurs, businesses, or organizations.
One village can be a professional networking group with many
people or businesses.
-
If the village has enough
diversity to be able to collaborate and sustain B2B
commerce within the village, it could be considered a B2B
virtual village.
-
Once the B2B virtual village
is sustaining its own life, it can then be marketed to
others for its goods and services locally, nationally, and
even globally.

What
is virtual collaboration?
|
-
Collaboration is a process
defined by the recursive interaction of knowledge and
mutual learning between two or more people who are working
together, in an intellectual endeavor,
toward a common goal which is can be creative in
nature. Collaboration does not necessarily require
leadership and can even bring better results through
decentralization and egalitarianism.
-
Virtual B2B collaboration
allows the virtual village to use Internet technology to
network 24/7.

Connect
B2B Virtual Villages
|
-
Creating a B2B Virtual
Village is the easy part.
What is challenging is to be able to network the
businesses seamlessly together using the Internet.
-
Six degrees of
connection/separation is the theory that anyone can be
connected to any other person through a chain of
acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries.
-
That theory is great but it
doesn’t do much if you can’t collaborate quickly and
easily with them.

Why
can't we be Google Heads?
|
-
I tried to be
a B2B “Google Head” but…
-
nVarious
technologies are limited
-
nProducts
don’t live up to their claims
-
nApplication
integration is difficult
-
nThe
process is too complicated
-
nToo
time consuming & expensive
|
|
Is
there a technology solution?
|
-
There are many stock
solutions that give a small function to collaborate.
The affordable solutions are traditional and not as
integrated as what the large corporations spend millions
on to develop in-house.
-
There are applications being
developed with forward thinking concepts that will satisfy
the small business need to enjoy true B2B like the large
corporations.
