I’d like to share some thoughts about what our work environment may look like in a close future if what I think being two main trends manage to reach maturity.
The first is “ambient awareness”. a word I find more relevant than microblogging which is only its embodying in terms of toosls. That’s the ability to [...]

What makes the value of shared information ?
September 18th, 2009 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Organization & Management, information
As I often say, we often complain about software while the problem is the way we use it. It’s the reason why many people consider that the largest part of spam they receive at word comes from their colleagues, their hierarchy.
That’s why I liked this Dilbert strip about information sharing. We can also conclude that [...]

Web does not turn employees into content producers. Job description does.

As time goes by, it’s becoming obvious that whae created a gap that prevented web 2.0 logics to be implemented within businesses is a an incredible number of web facts that can’t be transposed in the business world. So, internal practitioners use to fight against many mtyths they have to kill before they can start [...]

Are contents social by nature or by need ?
August 18th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Web 2.0, aka “social web” and its corporate avatar known as enterprise 2.0 were built upon the following assumption : within a given groupe, information should be shared and discussions should be public because no one knows who may improve the work of another person, to bring a solution. So it’s more effieient letting people [...]

Real time web is not a cure-all (and twitter won’t kill blogs)
July 10th, 2009 · View Comments · Social Networking, social computing
We can hear that microblogging is killing blogging and that, globally speaking, the future of web is real time. An hasty discourse I don’t subscribe to. It does not seem to me that a trend is replacing another but that they are complementary.
This applies to the general public web but also to the corporate web.
This [...]

When does the value of a “social object” have to be measured ?
June 2nd, 2009 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Let’s be clear, I’m talking about value, not about ROI (although the one is a part of the other) and about “social objects” in the large sense of the word : everything that can exist on a social platform, when using social software. It may be a content, an information specially generated, an information shared [...]

Some advice not to fear internet in the workplace
April 9th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, social computing
You are scared that your employees stop working and spend their days surfing on the net ? A too easy shortcut based on the assumption that people inevitably lose their time when they are on the net. An assumption that may also be true. In fact, the issue is about two questions :
The first is [...]

Social Media needs a better signal to noise ratio : discovering Microplaza
March 6th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Information / knowledge management, Intranets & collaborative tools, social computing
Information is key for efficient business operations. The way it circulates must be facilitated and fluidified? Everything may be very valuable at a given moment for a given person while being useless for anybody else. Identifying week signals is critical but it implies to increase the amount of information that circulates through the enterprise. People [...]

Social networks are the quintessence of enterprise web 2.0
February 27th, 2009 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
The issue has been emerging for years but it’s now a hard trend : companies don’t consider internal use of web 2.0 as a prospective subject and started to work on its implementation. The network logic and the question of knowing how to implement it is now on CEO”s agendas. All the same, people in [...]

Enterprise 2.0 and the myth of content generation
January 31st, 2009 · View Comments · Intranets & collaborative tools, enterprise 2.0, information, social computing
Web 2.0 is fueled by user generated content (UGC) ans, logically, it should be the same within companies. It’s obvious : when connecting people to information and connectiing people through information is a driving principle, it’s easy to undersand that the existence of a published and shared information is the key to the new form [...]
