Everything and its opposite about using social networks at the office

This week again the squabble about “pro or against using social networks at work” delivered some new arguments. While CNN was telling us using social networks at work could bring some benefits, the Confederation of British Industry ways saying exactly the opposite, stating it makes companies loose billions.
What’s the truth, if there’s any ?

Do french companies really understand nothing to web 2.0 ?

A recent Jemm Research survey made upon IBM request [fr] shows that french companies can’t identify web 2.0 tools and their benefits. Do we have to worry about that ?

Developing and managing information capital to support strategy : can enterprise 2.0 help ?

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.

Giving problem solving a framework

Or to make it clearer : in [...]

Enteprise 2.0 is doing old things in a new way

I’m not against the will to reivent the enterprise but I can hardly guess which goals can be assigned to such a project. Whatever the “mission statement” is, would it be “change the world” or “provide people with the best experience”, [...]

Meeting Rex Lee : collaboration, problem solving and innovation on the programme

I took advantage from my trip to attend Webcom Montreal to make a flying visit to Toronto. The main purpose was family but it was also the occasion to meet Rex Lee in person at his Toronto’s office. For those who don’t know him, he’s collaboration director at Bell Canada and, although less mediatized [...]

Where do they find time to participate ?

In a former post, I mentioned Clay Shirky’s “Here comes everybody”.
One big question about everything people do outside the organization is “where do they find time to do that”. I have the answer for my ow case, but I recommend you to listen to Shirky’s opinion.

Now let’s apply this thought process to all the wasted [...]
