Has time come for a disruptive analyst firm?
Wine connoisseurs take as much pleasure talking about drink than savouring it…. so let me indulge you into an analogy between research firms and some of my favourites. As with fine wines and corporate buying trends, so goes analyst firms. The shift of power from IT to Business signifies a move from Wine to Champagne….

[GUEST POST] Trends: Influencers Aspire For Market Maker Status by Ray Wang / Constellation
The Bottom Line: Influencers Who Adopt Multiple Influencer Types Emerge As Market Makers
Market makers create tremendous influence in the market. Today’s savvy influencers adopt multiple influencer types to gain market maker status. A true market maker will master at least four influencer types. For example, some industry analysts earn market maker status by authoring books, writing for media publications, facilitating peer to peer sessions, delivering training, advising clients via consulting, keynoting events, and partnering with academia. Management consultants who author books, gain a column on a blog such as Forbes, and run focused events achieve market maker status. Blogger media moguls who write industry analyst reports, lead training sessions, and speak at events gain market maker status. Expect legacy models to be blown up as new firms of market makers emerge and continue the disinter-mediation of the influencer market.
