Renowned Business/Technology Innovation Visionary Don Tapscott and His New Paradigm Group Acquired by BSG Alliance to Enable Next Generation Enterprises
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 29 - BSG Alliance Corporation, creator of a unique platform of services and tools to enable organizations to become next generation enterprises, today announced the acquisition of New Paradigm, a business innovation group led by international thought leader Don Tapscott. The union of the two companies will accelerate the development of BSG Alliance's Business Innovation Platform and provide New Paradigm with an appropriate venue to deliver their considerable content. Additionally, the combination of expertise from the two companies will provide Global 2000 enterprises with an immediate and actionable set of business plans, processes and collaborative tools for transforming legacy operations into flexible next generation enterprises.
"BSG Alliance was created on the principle of delivering cutting-edge business services and products that are compact, flexible and interconnected, thus allowing organizations to make necessary transformations on demand," said Steve Papermaster, CEO of BSG Alliance Corp. "Don and his New Paradigm team have provided the voice and the vision of digital transformation for decades -- and today we'll add this expertise into our Business Innovation Platform. It is a natural fit for organizations looking to exploit collaborative technologies and processes for business improvement."
From The Digital Economy and Paradigm Shift, to Business Webs and Digital Divide, and on to The Net Generation and Wikinomics, Tapscott has provided the universal language we use today to explain where we have been and where we are going. He will retain a leadership role by chairing the BSG Alliance New Paradigm Institute.
"New technology has spurred a cultural revolution that affects the way business is conducted and the economy at large. Profound transformations are occurring in the way we orchestrate capability to innovate products, services, processes, and organizations -- all of which will build enormous wealth in this century," said Tapscott. "By uniting with BSG Alliance, we are joining forces with a world-class team that shares our vision and can execute on it with the largest organizations in the world. It allows for the expansion of our global research and relationship business activity while enabling us to better help our clients implement the new business models and strategies we recommend." Tapscott's latest book, Wikinomics, co-authored with New Paradigm executive Anthony Williams, has been praised globally by the editorial and business community for capturing the profound changes occurring in corporate and government organizations through the power of mass collaboration on a global scale.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA, the combined companies also have offices in Boston, Houston, New York, London and Toronto, serving leading Global 2000 customers on four continents.
"I consistently see company leaders from around the world who struggle to understand how to innovate. They are operating with old business models in a world where new models of collaborative innovation are the only way to win," said Frank Moss, Director of MIT's Media Lab. "Having Don Tapscott and the New Paradigm team join with Steve Papermaster and the BSG Alliance team is a 'paradigm shift' of its own, and should result in powerful new tools and resources to help companies succeed as always-on innovators."
