Moving eBusiness to Business as Usual

Kevin Coleman, Advisor
 technolytics

Revolutions are ugly affairs. And businesses have just endured battles that 
redefined the status quo.  The last several years have witnessed the 
introduction of many new technologies and business practices as part of 
eBusiness and eCommerce.  Many of these failed on their own lack of merit, 
others fell to poor execution. 

But the business models that have succeeded, opened the door for new ideas 
and new approaches to the fundamental market-based exchange of goods and 
services: business as usual.  From ASP to XML the acronyms and the ideas 
they represent have left many breathless. Yet, these are the tools of the 
now, and hints of the business environment to come.

Kevin Coleman, a business strategist and advisor, will discuss his approach 
to the new business models and their integration into business as we know 
it and the opportunities they create for all organizations. 

Since the inception of e-Commerce and e-Business, Mr. Coleman has been a 
significant force behind the Internet revolution to transform global 
business. Currently, Mr. Coleman is using his research and experience to 
pioneer Strategies for Success in the Technology Economy: a CEO's Survival 
Guide. 

His unique perspective on management, technology, and the global business 
environment, in part, derives from his role as Chief Strategist for 
Netscape, the quintessential Silicon Valley success story. Mark Andreessen, 
Co-Founder of Netscape called him, "One of Netscape's most creative thought 
leaders". He is a Strategic Advisor to multiple companies and holds several 
board positions, including a board seat for the National Technology 
Transfer Center (NTTC), the organization responsible for commercialization 
of all government sponsored research.
