How Finaref managed to get both innovation and web 2.0 within the organization

February 1st, 2008 · View Comments · Ideas & innovation management, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing

But sometimes, I need to find examples to illustrate what I say and I don’t [...]

About transparency in decision-making

August 1st, 2006 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communication, HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, Ideas & innovation management, Organization & Management
