The stakes are high: it is truly the survival of the fittest in today’s marketplace. Increasingly, firms are recognizing that business agility for sustainable advantage is a long-term effort, one that will require organizational transformation on an unprecedented scale. Key to that transformation is innovation: creative, groundbreaking ways of deploying people, processes, and technology.

We look at innovation from a number of different perspectives in this issue of the newsletter:

  • Innovation at the market level
    From media sharing and wikis to social tagging, user-generated content reflects a powerful way for consumers to control and enrich their online experience. It also represents a golden opportunity for interactive marketers: put Web 2.0 to work to harness this phenomenon—and strengthen your brand. Read a dynamite white paper on this subject.
  • Innovation at the customer level
    As a solutions partner, we help our customers find innovative solutions to their toughest business challenges. Discovery Communications was primarily known for its television presence and needed an online strategy to unify its television and online presence—and better engage today's sophisticated Web visitor. Listen to a fascinating Webcast about what they achieved—in less than four months.
  • Innovation at the technology level
    Recently released innovations in our flagship Web Solutions platform address the key focus of Web-centric business models: engaging high-value customers and prospects when they visit us online. Read more.

For an excellent perspective on Web marketing, don’t miss our feature article on “Ending the Great Debates.”At most companies, Website design is the result of long debates about the minute details of a page. Learn what happens when design and content decisions are driven by science, not opinion!

Last, but not least, Interwoven has joined the blogosphere with our new BlogSite. Today, the Internet is the “go to” sphere for information, interaction, and idea exchange. It’s more transparent and more direct than traditional channels. You learn more about us. We learn more about you. We’re proud of the breadth and depth of expertise found among the Interwoven team. And we’re more than happy to share what we know about a wide range of subjects from a variety of perspectives. And, of course, we expect to learn a lot from you as well.

Grabbing for the brass ring when “the times, they are a’changing” …that’s our job as marketers today. That often means looking for—and acting on—the “a-ha” moments that presents themselves without forgetting the basics. Hear more thoughts about this in my first blog, “Focus and A-ha Moments.”

Looking forward to talking with you again soon!
