Many questioning about enterprise 2.0 these last weeks. How to make it work, how help companies to understand it, how to calculate the ROI ?

Considering the gap between management 2.0 and enterprise 2.0
February 24th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
I’ve been neglecting the management 2.0 topic for a long time although it was what this blog was about since 2005. Last years I slowely slipped from management 2.0 to enterprise 2.0, even if I find it sad that there were so many people to discuss about of make companies use 2.0 tools than people [...]

October 1st, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, Information / knowledge management, Organization & Management, information, knowledge-economy
A very common discourse within companies is : “our people waste their time on social networks and, more globally, on the web. We have to restrict access to it”.
If, when talking about social networks, it depends on the way people use them, so its important to grant access to what useful for business, I find [...]
