March 26th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management

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.

Toyota : a good example of SOO that reduces business risk

August 31st, 2008 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communication, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0

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 [...]

Hierarchy vs Wirearchy ? Or only complementarity ?

May 9th, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0

April 27th, 2008 · View Comments · Organization & Management

In a previous post I was wondering if we were heading to what I called a project or a partnership economy. In the same way, after meeting Don Tapscott and read “Wikinomics”, the idea came to me that we could soon experience a reverse application of Coase’s theorem.
