The Collaborative Economy

Description:

By challenging more traditional business models and transforming consumer expectations, the emerging collaborative economy is a disruptive force in business today. But, what are the implications for the direct selling industry? Join this interactive workshop on the Collaborative Economy. The session features:

-A brief presentation will get everyone on the same page and start the dialog:

Definition - What is the Collaborative Economy?

Estimate of size - How big is it? What are the future projections?

Key Players – What is their mindset?

-2 Human Centered Design exercises will collect group-think on these questions: Is the Collaborative Economy a threat or an opportunity? Where does the direct selling industry fit?

-And the rest is up to the audience … the “final Deliverable” will be crowd-sourced with brief share outs. A full report will be delivered at a later date. (Judy Jones, Amway; Jacob Gundrum, Amway)
