What does social software bring ? Nothing by itself (contrary to many others, a social app doesn’t process or treat anything but allow people to do things…) but since it makes some things more easy to do it should, in principle, help to improve performance and productivity for many kind of tasks provided people understand [...]

What’s social learning ? The word comes more and more often in lots of conversations, everyone understands what’s behind and yet everyone has his own definition. That’s the reason the idea formed at Ecollab to ask some experts what was their vision and to gather all these views into a whitepaper. And for once I [...]
Your knowledge helps you more than your productivity

I’ve always had an ambiguous feeling about productivity. In the one hand, doing more or faster with the same amount of resources is a significant improvement. In the other hand, with hindsight, we have to admit that productivity continuously increased these last decades, that whenever a hard time everything is done to increase it even [...]

Is multitasking dangerous or a myth ?
January 23rd, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Information / knowledge management, Organization & Management, social computing
Multitasking is a big issue for both people and organization. It’s the (presumed and made essential) ability for someone to do many things at the same time.

Collaboration may happen by luck : how to provide valuable information without purpose

You must have already heard about serendipity, the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
