I’ll start with a statement that’s nothing new and won’t surprise anyone. We are all different, with our cultures, values, expectations, and even if things may look quite uniform at a local scale, the diversity of our world becomes obvious when we have to work in a globalized context.
In the same way, any idea, trend, [...]

Adopting new practices in multiple contexts
March 4th, 2010 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Knowing that people have to face multiple contexts in their work, we have to make sure that new practices and tools are enablers in each situation. I do not write “social” or “2.0″ in purpose because these words are so tied to communities and social networks that we often forget that the underlying concepts may [...]

What place for communities in collaboration ?
March 2nd, 2010 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communities, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
The switch from a compartimentalized enterprise collaborating on a small perimeter to an enterprise that harnesses mass collaboration and leverages social networks and communties is much harder than many expected.
But is “transformation” a relevant word ?
First because collaboration has many differents levels and scopes that not exclusive but complementary. Enterprise 2.0 does not mean the [...]

Networking and collaboration : is enterprise a land of trust or distrust ?
February 11th, 2010 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0
I recently wrote that it what obvious to me that for many people some activities and behaviors had to remain in their private sphere and, that social networking and everything that comes with is not a part of what they naturally want to transpose in the workplace. I also temperated my words saying that, of [...]

Social Medias : being there, doing as usual, doing new things
February 9th, 2010 · View Comments · enterprise 2.0
Everyday we receive new numbers that show that an always increasing number of people are “on” an increasing number of social networks, that such percentage of an age class is there, that such country is more represented than another or is slowly bridging the gap with the others etc…
Hence the unavoidable conclusion : almost everybody [...]

Enterprise 2.0 adoption : you need both a voice and a screwdriver
December 24th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
This is a sequel of my previous post related to enterprise 2.0 adoption, enriched by the many discussions and comments that followed. Here’s a synthesis of what emerged from that.
• There must be someone on the driver seat
As Oscar Berg pointed out, there must be someone in the driver’s seat. Seen from this angle, of [...]

Enterprise 2.0 between “next big things” and old tricks
August 18th, 2009 · View Comments · Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
You must have noticed how this summer was quiet in the enterprise 2.0 world. Of course, many people were on vacation (above all in France…), but there was a strange feeling. Something like emptiness, a kind of “end of something”. The end of a headlong flight.
The enterprise 2.0 has been knocking on companies’ doors for [...]

20+1 reasons not to launch an Enterprise Social Software project
January 6th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Let’s be clear : I’m talking about the reasons not to launch a defined project because it’s born to fail. That does not mean that it’s the case for every project : more and more of them are born to be sucessful mainly because of the growing maturity of companies about social networks.
1°) Your interlocutor [...]

Sometimes some of my readers, rather than letting a comment or leaving with their doubts, send me questions by email. And among the questions, one comes so often that it desserves a public answer.
Generaly the mail looks that that

Enterprise 2.0 : success comes from organizational approach
August 3rd, 2008 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, strategy
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 [...]
