March 11th, 2010 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0

I’ll soon take a part in a webTV discussion which theme is “Is enterprise 2.0 the antithesis of ERP” organized by the great Techtoc.tv team (ok…that’s all in french). The preparatory discussions are rather heated, what’s promising for the debate. Meanwhile, I’d like to share some thoughts about the issue we’ll debate.

You want your employees to be more “social” ? Rely on their selfishness

November 3rd, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

Among all the projects that have a “2.0 label”, it’s possible to make a distinction between those that are mainly about social networkings and those that aim at bringing traditional office applications on the cloud. Each kind addresses specific needs and has its own barriers.  In one case it’s about changing the way people work, [...]

Since intangible assets only create value when they support formal business process, enterprises don’t have to create an enterprise 2.0 organization relying on informal but a system allowing formal and structured activities to take advantage from what isn’t.

March 2nd, 2008 · View Comments · IT, enterprise 2.0, social computing

While social computing platforms emergence within the enterprise seems to be unavoidable, the debate on “does IT (still) matter” is coming back at the forefront of the actuality. Not directly but because, since it’s said that enterprise’s wealth is in people, we can wonder if IT sill matter.

From repetition to differenciation

February 19th, 2008 · View Comments · Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing

Companies find hard to adopt the “2.0″ attitude, just because it targets an unexploited field of the organization. Since novelty applies to an unexploited domain, why trying to understand it since we don’t use it. Saying that, the question is more about sensibilizing companies about exploring new performance and knowledge fields in order [...]

What 2007′enterprise is. Production is changing.

March 3rd, 2007 · View Comments · Organization & Management

At first sight nothing has changed. Coca Cola still produces beverages, GM cars… So what makes me say production changed ?
If you have a closer look you’ll realize that enterprises are now producing information. And what about car manufacturers for example ? Exactly the same. Consider, for example, how much information was necessary to conceive [...]
