It’s been a while I haven’t shared one of my “paper” readings. The most interesting book I’ve read these last months is Driving Results Through Social Networks: How Top Organizations Leverage Networks for Performance and Growth.
Businesses are now getting very interested in social networks, making the same mistakes they often did with communities : having [...]

Enterprise 2.0 is not only about communities
April 28th, 2009 · View Comments · Communities, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
Since social media have been making its first steps inside enterprises and the context of enterprise 2.0 has been emerging, everybody has been talking about communities. As a matter of fact there’s no better tools to facilitate exchanges within communities, a very orld concept that was given a new youth by this “social revolution”. But [...]

Social networks are the quintessence of enterprise web 2.0
February 27th, 2009 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
The issue has been emerging for years but it’s now a hard trend : companies don’t consider internal use of web 2.0 as a prospective subject and started to work on its implementation. The network logic and the question of knowing how to implement it is now on CEO”s agendas. All the same, people in [...]

What kind of social networks do companies need ?
February 4th, 2009 · View Comments · Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Need for synergies, for connections, to do more with less ? Whatever the official reason is (and sometimes the unofficial one), companies are now turning back to the gool old network, renamed “social network” to stick to the the current climate, to find new pools of performance.
Because companies focus on efficiency, people’s network is not [...]

External social networks are not only for marketing purposes
January 21st, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communication, Communities, Organization & Management, project management
Generally, when I talk about social networks for other people than employees, I’m answered “ah ? I thought you were not interested in all these marketing things”. This is the obvious proof that, for many people and many companies, when you aim at an external audiance it’s for communication and sale purpose, following a one [...]

Enterprises far beyond enterprise 2.0
January 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Human resources, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, strategy
A few weeks ago I amused myself proposing a few tracks on what enterprise 2.0 may be in 2009. But I think pushing the reflection beyond would be worth : enterprise 2.0 is only a side of a much complex reality that is enterprise and will be of any use only in a global framework. [...]

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. Finally, since my 2008 edition was not that bad (shift from “social tools at people’s disposal” to the acknowledgement it needed inclusion in business process) and Susan kindly asks for it, I’ll try to do something interesing this year.
That said, I will [...]

CE0 concerns : network driven business models

What are CxOs real concerns ? How do they undertsand current issues ? Lots of people are talking about the need for companies to change in order to evolve in the context that is theirs now but it supposes the “information” has reached the highest decision makers and that they really understand what it’s about [...]
