Measuring a system is more relevant than Enterprise 2.0 tools ROI

April 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing

Before, everything was simple. When people were asking “what’s the ROI”, the answer was “today you are processing this kind of operations with 100 people working with a calculator and a clipboard, it takes one week and the risk of making errors is obvious. With our solution, it takes only one person to enter the [...]

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.

Enterprises far beyond enterprise 2.0

January 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Human resources, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, strategy

December 19th, 2008 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, HR & Management 2.0, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

Andrew Mc Afee wrote two interesing posts on the need for using 2.0 ratings for employees ( here and there).This kind of concern seems to be more and more actual for companies (I wrote about it there) and it confirms the accuracy of the old adage “tell me how you’re assessed, I’ll tell you how [...]
