Beats hires Topspin’s Ian Rogers as CEO for Daisy
Branding-Sharing-Participating ....
That's the way of the "new" world. The online social tools and websites available and the consumers' affinity for connection, are leading to some very interesting synergies and collaborations.
Stuart Dredge, at the website musically.com, [music:)ally] on the web, is reporting that Daisy, the music streaming service co-launched by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Beats by Dre, has announced Ian Rogers as its CEO. Ian Rogers is currently the CEO of Topspin Media, a direct-to-fan software that helps artists grow their audience, build their brand and MAKE MONEY.
This partnership shows that Daisy "gets it". They understand what other music streaming sites like Spotify and Rhapsody seem to overlook - the importance of the CONNECTION between the artists and the fans. the opportunity to share back and forth between fan and artist, and to feel like you contributed and participated along with your favorite artist is groundbreaking. And disruptive. That is key.
Social media, in all of its forms (blogs, facebook, twitter, instagram, texting, etc), is disruptive, by nature, of the traditional media roles...from content production and distribution to the audience reception, participation and feedback. The brands that will be successful are the ones that understand, embrace, and empower the crowd.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk is the net negative impact of the exercise of a vulnerability, considering both the probability and the impact of occurrence. Risk management is the process of identifying risk, assessing risk, and taking steps to reduce risk to an acceptable level.

Information Security Management Systems
The governing principle behind an ISMS is that an organization should
design, implement and maintain a coherent set of policies, processes and
systems to manage risks to its information assetts thus ensuring acceptable levels of information security risk.
The degree of security depends on three factors: the risk you are willing to take, the functionality of the system and the costs you are prepared to pay

Data and Human Connection
Data, Social Media and the power of a networked society will lead to innovation and solutions to problems yet to be uncovered.
IBM, through it's Citizen-Centered Services division, looks to eliminate operational silos and bring benefits and services together to focus on solving a particular need or issue.
There's a lesson here... Its a shift in mindset.
Remain open to the power of possibility, using the tools we have now.
Sharing, Openness, Transparency promotes Goodwill, Character, Credibility.
