Today I’m very proud to be a member of the BSG Alliance as we have acquired New Paradigm. I have talked about Wikinomics and blogged about it since I finished the book in June. I’m still in a bit a shock that I’m part of the same team as Don and his world class team.

My clients have asked me about what differentiates a firm like BSG Alliance from other firms that might be talking with them. Quite simply, the leadership of BSG Alliance has the foresight to partner with a firm like New Paradigm and with people like Don Tapscott. We are not a consulting firm per se, but we are a platform company. We offer a path to outcomes that are specific for each client that leverage our applications, our research, our people, and our eduction capabilities. So, what does this mean for how my team and I approach our customers, Financial Services firms? Quite simply, we had a strong story, and now have an unparalleled story.

Our platform combines:
* Pre-eminent thought leadership from the likes of Don, Tammy Erickson, Frank Capek, Andy Shimberg, Vaughn Merlyn, Brian Magierski, Susan Scrupski, Esteban Herrera, and others…
* Business simulation and visualization technologies of BSG’s newly acquired Industrial Science
* Custom application development, project management, and business analysis from our team of FS professionals
* A SaaS platform on which you can collaborate, use to connect with our applications and third party partner applications, and use to build your own applications
* A custom research and training team that have been at it for 20 years
* Workshops focused for Financial Services professionals

It it hard with a blog (and I don’t have Seesmic yet…) to express how exciting a time this is for us at BSG Alliance and New Paradigm.
