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 [...]

What’s new at Lotus ? Coherence, openness and value
February 19th, 2010 · View Comments · IT, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
I rencently had the chance to attend Lotusphere in order to gauge the feeling of what what happening at IBM/Lotus. I took some time to write this post because I was not sure of the point of view I had to take.
It was obvious that “I saw tools doing this and this” was not relevant. [...]

From formal to informal collaborations : what are employees’ constraints
February 18th, 2010 · View Comments · Recommended Bookmarks
The collaboration 2.0 thing has now been discussed for a few years. Beyond trendy words, that’s nothing more than making people develop collaborative pratices in a more informal fashion, less contrainsted by organizational rigidities, in ordre to access more easily to the right nformations and people to solve the problems that appear in their workaday [...]

The conversational enterprise : opportunity or dead end ?
February 16th, 2010 · View Comments · Communities, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
If we listen to what’s being said here and there, the future of business is conversation. A concept that’s not so easy to get for many organizations for two reasons :

Networking and collaboration : is enterprise a land of trust or distrust ?
February 11th, 2010 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0

I also temperated my words saying that, of [...]

Enterprise 2.0, collaboration and personal constraints
February 2nd, 2010 · View Comments · Communities, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0

A group only delivers the sum of the tasks achieved by its members. That’s why coordination matters. We can even say that, how ironic, knowledge [...]

From Google Wave to Social Networks : the social napoleon
November 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Communities, IT, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
For a long time, and because many thought they could import the social web’s behaviors in the enterprise as is, the projects aiming at bringing the social dimension within employee’s work tried to structure the enterprise the way the web was. That means people will looking for “communities” that were supposed to fill “social spaces”, [...]
