Perhaps you’ve already heard about Digital Nomads. More than a site it’s rather a community for those who break the traditionnal link between working and being at the office and use the right tools to be connected and able to work anywhere, anytime. Alone but not isolated : digital nomads often interact more with their [...]

Yesterday morning someone pointed out this  CioInsight survey to me (the publication date isn’t mentioned although it would be an useful information…).
It tells us that, among the technologies that will be expected to drive revenue, only 11,5% of enteprises quote social networks and only 12.3% quote wiki. Does it mean enterprise 2.0 is unable to [...]

To all employees:
Beginning August 1st, you will no longer be able to send an e-mail to another employee of our organization. After some study, we have concluded that such e-mails are almost never the most efficient or effective way to obtain, provide or exchange information. In fact, we estimate that as much as 20% of [...]

One of the biggest issues encountered in the the first “enteprise 2.0″ projets and, globally in everything that aimed at changing in any way the people work according to current issues, was the fact the interested parties where all going in their own direction without taking the others into account. Some thinking the others would [...]

The CIGREF (french big companies CIO club) issued and interesting report co-writen with McKinsey. Although it’s writen in French, I would like to share some points with you. And, if ever you know someone who can make a quick translation for you I think it’s really worht.

Economy’s “knowledgization” where assets resides more in individual knowledge, transaction costs near to zero which may cause a reversed application of Coase’s law,  [...]

This morning I received an email from a shattered friend.
She works for a company that organizes conferences and have something like 45 projects to manage at the same time, each of them being at a different stage of its life, and a lot of incoming and outgoing contacts (with both internal teams and outside people). [...]

That’s what many employees could (should ?) say to their colleagues and managers.
I’ve been pleading for a system which would make the right information find the right people instead of sending grouped emails to people who don’t need them and often forgot those for whom it would have been useful.
I’m often answered the same thing [...]

After some days “off” (too busy at work to take care of my blog), this is the second post of my series about how enterprise may support strategy. After human capital comes information capital.
It’s about assessing the availability of the information systems, networks and infrastructure which aee needed to support strategy.
A first sight the two [...]

It seems that question of participation rate on online communities is coming back as a major issue. I’d rather say that people are wondering if the rate we notice on the web are still relevant within the enterprise, that’s to say if in an organization where people are supposed to be involved and use the [...]
