Over the past couple of months, there have been a few people I have talked to about my ideas and future plans. Nathan Gilliatt has been one of those people. Every time we have talked lately, he says; “Have you been reading Peter Kim?”, and sadly I had to admit that I hadn’t. My excuse is that I have been spending the majority of my time getting Decision 3D ready for business. So today finally, I did read Peter Kim. Wow. I certainly have been missing out on a great conversation.
Here is a bit from one of Peter’s recent posts:
We need to improve what we do today with the ultimate goal of changing the way we work and connect with co-workers, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and other system participants. Social technologies should change the world of work – applied to not just to marketing and IT, but also HR, finance, legal, and every other functional area. And potentially change the functions that exist at all.
I am excited by the implication of what Peter is saying. That implication being that the leading thinkers and practioners in the area of social enterprise are beginning to move away from discussions of tools per se and toward how these tools can be part of broader solutins to real business problems.
I hope that Decision 3D will be able to contribute significantly to this conversation.

About D3D | | January 26th, 2009
On January 15, 2009, Decision 3D,LLC was officially formed, but the work leading up to that date had been going on for weeks, or months, or years, depending on the context.
Sometime between this past Thanksgiving and Christmas, the ideas and structure behind a new company started coming together. All of the conversations about social media, enterprise 2.0, and how business could/should make use of them came together in a way that made sense, in that systemic/holistic sort of way. The foundation of Decision 3D had been formed.
Over the next few weeks, I became myopically obsessed about forming the company: What would the structure be? Who would be involved? How would I promote it? I need new content!!!WHAT WILL I CALL IT???
So here we are now at the beginning of a new year with a shiny new company, full of hope and excitement. Please “drop by” and give me your thoughts. The coordinates for the company are:
- Web Site: http://decision3d.com
- Twitter: decision3d
- Email: lee@decision3d.com
I would like to thank all of the patient and willing listeners, who have had to endure countless versions and variations of “the pitch”, as I tried to take what was in my head and turn it into a few coherent sentences. It’s not perfect yet, but getting better, so the next time we talk, I hope you will hear something that is compelling (and makes sense).
