Enterprise 2.0 : what’s the missing link ?
May 5th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
Knowing why enterprise 2.0 sometimes failed to deliver its promises is now a maintream issue. I’m talking about turning the promise into results because the question of knowing whether the promise is well-founded or not has already been answered. Many examples, such as Cisco’s, show that it’s possible and that it actually works. But some [...]

Can enterprise 2.0 spread without adhocracy ?
June 9th, 2008 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
The fact that more and more people agree on the fact that enterprise 2.0 is mainly about the way we do things takes us back to corporate culture issues.
It’s not something that’s easy to deal with. Since it’s been proved that culture is a key performance factor and that it’s important to recruit people who [...]

Creating a corporate memory is about telling stories
April 27th, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, Ideas & innovation management, Information / knowledge management
I really believe conversations are key to capturing tacit knowledge, best practices, all those things that are parts of the individual’s patrimony and can only be captured an harnessed by stimulating individual memories through conversations, since they are the most accessible form of knowledge.
Hence the necessity to provide the organization with tools that make those [...]

Tools won’t seduce digital natives. Culture will.
April 16th, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, recruitment
Recruiting Digital Natives make companies ask lots of questions. Some of their concerns are not justfied, and we can also read many nonsenses.
“They have their habits, their own way to do things, with their own tools…we only have to adopt those tools to seduce them”. Wrong ! They don’t juge by appearances (or as we [...]

Managing Complexity : Danone Tries to Spread its Values through a Business Game
April 7th, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, recruitment
“Managing Complexity” or “Managing in complexity” is a very common word at this time. This only means people have to take into account more and more changing factors before making a decision.

Enterprise is not a closed system : the Starbucks example
March 22nd, 2008 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, Ideas & innovation management
No company can (sur)vive isolating itself from the outside. In the other hand it has to grow richer because of all its ecosystem and consider it as an allied, not an enemy. There are many reasons for that.
- improve the way it benchmarks by taking the most of ideas and feedbacks coming from what’s essentiel [...]

A few weeks ago I read a note on Internet Actu [fr] , about Google’s innovation model, where many expert gave their opinion on whether it was a model to follow or an exception. My point here is not to discuss Google’s model but to wonder what the very existence of this kind of [...]
