== About VRM ==

VRM stands for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_Relationship_Management '''Vendor Relationship Management''']. VRM tools provide customers with both ''independence'' from vendors and ''better ways of engaging'' with vendors. The same tools can also support individuals' relations with schools, churches, government entities and other kinds of organizations.

To vendors, VRM is the customer-side counterpart of CRM (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_Relationship_Management Customer Relationship Management]). VRM tools provide customers with the means to bear their side of the relationship burden. They relieve CRM of the perceived need to "capture," "acquire," [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_lock-in "lock in,"] "manage," and otherwise employ the language and thinking of slave-owners when dealing with customers. With VRM operating on the customer's side, CRM systems will no longer be alone in trying to improve the ways companies relate to customers. Customers will be also be involved, as fully empowered participants, rather than as captive followers.

VRM is part of a larger picture as well. Perhaps the best name and description for that larger picture is [http://www.kuppingercole.com/report/advisorylifemanagementplatforms7060813412 Life Management Platforms], coined by Martin Kuppinger of Kuppinger Cole. He describes them this way: "Life Management Platforms will change the way individuals deal with sensitive information like their health data, insurance data, and many other types of information – information that today frequently is paper-based or, when it comes to personal opinions, only in the mind of the individuals. They will enable new approaches for privacy- and security-aware sharing of that information, without the risk of losing control of that information... At KuppingerCole we expect and predict that Life Management Platforms, with related standards, protocols, business models, applications, etc., will be the one technology driven component that will have the strongest influence on our everyday life (and, on the other side, on enterprise infrastructures and the Internet architecture) for the next 10 years."

== VRM Principles ==

VRM development work is based on the belief that ''free customers are more valuable than captive ones'' to themselves, to vendors, and to the larger economy. To be free 

#Customers must enter relationships with vendors as '''independent actors'''.
#Customers must be the '''points of integration for their own data'''.
#Customers must have '''control of data they generate and gather'''. This means they must be able to share data selectively and voluntarily.
#Customers must be able to '''assert their own terms of engagement'''.
#Customers must be '''free to express their demands and intentions outside of any one company's control'''.

== VRM Goals ==

In the "Markets Are Relationships" chapter of the [http://www.cluetrain.com/Cluetrain_10/index.html 10th Anniversary edition] of ''The Cluetrain Manifesto'', Doc Searls writes this about the goals of VRM efforts:

#'''Provide tools for individuals to manage relationships with organizations'''. These tools are personal. That is, they belong to the individual in the sense that they are under the individual's control. They can also be social, in the sense that they can connect with others and support group formation and action. But they need to be personal first.
#'''Make individuals the collection centers for their own data''', so that transaction histories, health records, membership details, service contracts, and other forms of personal data are no longer scattered throughout a forest of silos.
#'''Give individuals the ability to share data selectively''', without disclosing more personal information than the individual allows.
#'''Give individuals the ability to control how their data is used by others''', and for how long. At the individual's discretion, this may include agreements requiring others to delete the individual's data when the relationship ends.
#'''Give individuals the ability to assert their own terms of service''', reducing or eliminating the need for organization-written terms of service that nobody reads and everybody has to "accept" anyway.
#'''Give individuals means for expressing demand in the open market''', outside any organizational silo, without disclosing any unnecessary personal information.
#'''Make individuals platforms for business''' by opening the market to many kinds of third party services that serve buyers as well as sellers
#'''Base relationship-managing tools on open standards and open APIs (application program interfaces)'''. This will support a rising tide of activity that will lift an infinite variety of business boats plus other social goods.

== VRM Tools ==

These are ideal characteristics of VRM tools:

#'''VRM tools are personal'''. As with hammers, wallets, cars and mobile phones, people use them as individuals,. They are social only in secondary ways.
#'''VRM tools help customers express intent'''. These include preferences, policies, terms and means of engagement, authorizations, requests and anything else that’s possible in a free market, outside any one vendor’s silo or ranch.
#'''VRM tools help customers engage'''. This can be with each other, or with any organization, including (and especially) its CRM system.
#'''VRM tools help customers manage'''. This includes both their own data and systems and their relationships with other entities, and their systems.
#'''VRM tools are substitutable'''. This means no source of VRM tools can lock users in.

VRM West Coast Workshop 2009

2009-05-15T10:01:34Z

Wmheath: /* Non-hosted Dinner */

The first ProjectVRM West Coast Workshop (tag [http://technorati.com/tag/vrm2009 vrm2009]) will take place on Friday-Saturday 15-16 May, 2009 at [http://www.sap.com/usa/index.epx SAP Labs] at [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3410+Hillview+Ave.,+Palo+Alto,+CA+94304,+USA&sll=40.768582,-74.492798&sspn=0.372862,0.744324&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1 3410 Hillview Street in Palo Alto]. (This is a beautiful space in the hills of Palo Alto, overlooking San Francisco Bay, with plenty of parking. And we thank SAP kindly for making it available.)

The event will go from 9am to roughly 5pm on both days.

As with earlier VRM gatherings, the purpose of the workshop is to bring people together and make progress on any number of VRM topics and projects. The workshop will be run as an "unconference" on the open space model, which means session topics will be chosen by participants.

In open space there are no speakers or panels -- just participants, gathered to get work done and enjoy doing it. Participation includes contributing to the workshop wiki. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology Here is the Wikipedia page on open space.]

== Registration ==

The workshop is free. You can register through [http://vrmwestcoast2009.eventbrite.com/ this EventBrite link]. Feel free to also add your name to the [[VRM West Coast Workshop 2009 Attendees]] list.

The EventBrite link above caps attendance at 100. SAP is prepared for 50-70, however. - Doc

== Possible Topics ==

''This is a list of topics to get us thinking as the workshop approaches. Topics for sessions will be made and posted (by anybody and everybody, in the Open Space Way) at the workshop itself. Feel free to add whatever you like below (or to change it, if it's your topic).

* [[Defining 1st and 4th Parties]]
* [[Personal Data Stores]] - the fundamentals that apply to them regardless of context/application
* [[VRM + CRM]]
* [[ListenLog]] (open source public radio project)
* [[EmanciPay]] (PayChoice)
* [[VRM + Open Source]]
* [[VRM + Patient Driven Health Care]], which also involves [[Personal Health Records]]
* [[VRM + Enterprises]]
* [[VRM and retail]]
* [[VRM and search]]
* [[The Mine! Project]]
* [[ProtectServe]]
* [[User Asserted Terms of Service]]
* Getting rid of those tick-boxes.... (Volunteered Personal Information & Data Sharing Agreements)
* [[VRM Marketing]] (Marketing committee + others)
* [[VRM organization(s)]] (Start-up committee - picking up where we shouldn't leave off))
* [[VRM + Enterprises]]
* [[FCRA: Access to credit data]] (D&B, FICO score compilation and access to credit)
* [[VRM + RideSharing]] Is Ridesharing support a VRM business?
* [[What is it going to take to get this great change started?]]
* [[What can go wrong with our VRM vision (and how do we avoid that?)]]

== Agenda ==
''This is a live agenda. Put on it what you like. The one we'll use will be the one we create at the workshop. This one here just helps get us started. Once we're underway, this will turn into a table of contents for notes taken on the wiki.''

One person in each session will take notes, either directly (or eventually) on the workshop wiki. At the end of each day somebody from each discussion session will report progress to the group.
