What is Cloud Computing? “The key characteristics of the cloud are the ability to scale and provision computing power dynamically in a cost efficient way and the ability of the consumer (end user, organization or IT staff) to make the most of that power without having to manage the underlying complexity of the technology. The cloud architecture itself can be private (hosted within an organization’s firewall) or public (hosted on the Internet).” Source: www.opencloudmanifesto.org

Online Future in Focus John McElligott, eBay Classifieds Group June 09
Show of hands: 1. Bought a newspaper today?
2. Bought a car in the last year? 3. Understand purpose of all 42 buttons on the standard Remote Control? John McElligott, June 09
65
Agenda:
• Intro to eBay Inc and eBay Classifieds Group • Insights for today’s economy (main part) • Some Tips for the future
John McElligott, June 09

eBay – Our beginnings …

eBay today

eBay Classifieds Group
John McElligott, June 09
69
Four insights for today’s economy:
1
User needs stay relatively constant over time … though how best to satisfy those needs can change quickly
2
Business trends can be easy to spot … either in retrospect (bad) … or if you separate them into component parts (much better)
3
The most important thing in business is often the ability to do the basics really well
4
Several new (or at least modified) rules DO apply today. It’s rarely a good idea to ignore or fight these
John McElligott, June 09

“Will it be a fine day for the game tomorrow?”
User Needs

Business trends can be easy to spot either in retrospect … or if you separate them into component parts - Motor industry example
•
Today’s cars are very reliable and never rust! •
John McElligott, June 09
Today’s cars have great performance!

2 Business Trends

“Today’s cars are …
Business Trends
2009 Toyota
… exactly the same as those of 20 years ago!
… and Toyota are the industry leader!! 1990 Toyota
… so we clearly need fewer cars to be manufactured… … and someone is surprised about this?
John McElligott, June 09
75
“I want up-to-date news for the areas in which I am interested”
In 2010
Satisfying Needs?
1. Targetted 2. Real-time 3. ‘Pull’ – user in control 4. Convenient 5. Environmentally responsible
John McElligott, June 09
76
2 Business Trends
Banks dramatically failing their customers
Who needs banks? P2P Lending - Big in 2010

2 Business Trends
•Remember that …
2 Business Trends
•…recessions are the times in business when we see the greatest changes in relative competitive position •Some players simply do not survive. Certain trends are accelerated through the effects of the downturn •Despite their obvious downsides, recessions are often times of great competitive opportunities John McElligott, June 09
78
The most important thing in business is often the ability to do the basics really well
The M & M & M & M approach Market Size? Market Share? Margin (i.e. Cost base)
John McElligott, June 09
79
3 Focus on the basics

Enterprise Case Study: Dramatic fall in ‘P&L’
Focus on the basics
Republic of Ireland Government Balance 0.4 2004

2007
-7.1 -12.0 -15.6 John McElligott, June 09
80
Apply M&M&M: If ‘Govt of Ireland Plc’ were a business and had to break-even No – Ireland is in recession, credit is tight, household wealth depleted and global conditions not favourable
Can we grow market size? i.e. Can we increase National Income (GDP)
Can we grow market share? i.e. Can we increase Tax Take?
No – Reduces competitiveness, drives away business, tried and failed in 1980’s, insufficient to bridge the necessary gap
Can we increase margins? i.e. Can we reduce Govt spending?
Yes – we would simply have to if we wanted to stay in business as a going concern
M&M&M Prognosis: John McElligott, June 09
A large scale (~20%) and regretful reduction in both spending and staff An overdue focus on performance 81
4 Several new (or at least modified) rules DO apply today. It’s rarely a good idea to ignore or fight these
Why? Grownups believe that the world is just like when they were growing up and that everything happening now is an
exception John McElligott, June 09
82

Transparency is unstoppable:
Modified Rules
… performance management?
Long overdue …
Democratisation?
John McElligott, June 09
83
Consumers trust complete strangers more than marketeers
Modified Rules
“… is a dreadful hotel. Rooms are in serious need of refurbishment. They smelt and the noise was intolerable. Would never stay again.”
“… is a delightful 3 bed semi detached property located at the end of this leafy estate with all amenities on your doorstep. This ideal property is a must view and is available at any time.”
John McElligott, June 09

Pay for Performance advertising is here to stay
4 Modified Rules
“A dramatic improvement over earlier models”
John McElligott, June 09
85
Tip: Measure things … in detail … regularly … Keep on top of your metrics Here are some of ours Visits, Minutes, Unique Visitors, Direct Traffic, ARPU, RPM, CPC, CTR … What about your competitors? BUT!!! Beware of extrapolation: What game-changers are possible, or even likely? How can you guard against negative ones? How can you take advantage of positive ones? John McElligott, June 09
86
Tip: It’s a great time to hire
John McElligott, June 09
87
Tip: Online Advertising - bigger in 2010
John McElligott, June 09
88
Tip: We all have to be capable of trusting our own judgement
"Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world." - General Colin Powell John McElligott, June 09
