January 14th, 2010 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, IT, Organization & Management, social computing

Optimizing workload has always been a key concern for businesses and managers. A too heavy workload regarding to the capacity leads to explosion, a too low workload means resources are wasted.

Will you know how to export your conversations and focus on transactions ?

December 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, HR & Management 2.0, Social Networking, recruitment

The world of communication and marketing is worried because of the consecration of digital medias, an highbrow word used to talk about the web by people who are suddently feeling out of date.
For many people, the revolution brought by the web is the so-called new “power” that’s in internauts’ hands. According to me this power, [...]

How to understand and position enteprise 2.0 in the real enterprise

December 1st, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

It’s time to sum up all the thoughts I had these last months.

Community management Vs Socio-Collaborative management : how to make the right choice

November 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, social computing

Personal branding is not about self promotion but collective intelligence

September 17th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, Social Networking

Lessons from a crisis and the behavioral economics

August 26th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, economy, enterprise 2.0

A year ago, the world entered a crisis that didn’t let it unhurt. A crisis I won’t call economic or or financial since I think the disease was deeper. Anyway, many people understand that, this time, we’ll have to be more creative than in a past and not rebuild things as they were. But [...]
