Bertrand DUPERRIN’s Notepad

It’s funny to see how history seems to be endlessly repeating, how issues that have been fixed years ago are coming back to the surface.
Because the question of productivity, time management, ROI in an enterprise 2.0 or in a Service Oriented Organization remembers me of something that already took place years ago (and was fixed) [...]

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 [...]

Remember, it was a long long time ago, that, in the times we are living, means something like ten years. At this time Airbus was wondering how to compete with Boeing on the big carriersmarket and was working on what would become the A380. On its side, Boeing was not thinking about replacing its mythic [...]

I can’t remember the definition of an enterprise I was taught when I was at school… too complicated and abstract. I One thing is sure : the focus was always on the structural side, the economic and legal entity. This entity-oriented vision lead people to build wall around the enterprise, in order to protect it, [...]

This is what to conclude from this McKinsey Survey (by the way, it confirms what I’ve been thinking for years) that tries to bring us a view of the state of the art in enterprise 2.0 adoption. At first sight I really didn’t like the title “building the web 2.0″ enterprise because it would suggest [...]

I often worry when I see companies that mistakes means for goals. It’s a common issue on enterprise 2.0 : “put people into networks”, “share information”, “collaborate” are not goals, they are only means that help to achieve goals. Reduce the time of response, innovate more and quicker, devilver something that exactly meets client’s needs, [...]

One more interesting report at McKinsey’s : this one is titled : “Organizing for value“. You will learn that
- the traditional divisional structure is not relevant to create value
- companies will have to fav our long term value creation instead of focusing on achieving short terms objectives.
- in order to  do that they’ll have to [...]

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.
- IT doesn’t impact directly value creation
- value doesn’t [...]

In a previous post I was saying that, one day, enterprise’s main role will be to organize a value chain and coordinate expertises, some of them being internal and some others internal. 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,  [...]
