IT interests : good news but too much compartmentalization

October 30th, 2009 · View Comments · IT, social computing

I recently came across this this chart about what IT departments are currently thinking about. What inspires me some thoughts.
First point, as mentioned in the post where I found this document, there’s  nothing really new. Many of these issues have been discussed for years, some are more recent but even when names change, the topics [...]

Enterprise 2.0 : my predictions for 2009

December 18th, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy, social computing

Honestly I was not sure I would conform to the annual predictions tradition.
