As I wrote earlier, for most of Webcom audience, Jon Husband’s Keynote was the most impressive (actually it seems he enjoyed it too)
Jon had the kindness to send me his slides so I can share some of them with you.

Here are the key ideas I’d like to point out from the Webcom conference in Montreal.
Honor to whom honor is due, let’s start with Andrew McAfee. I’m not sure people who have been following him for years did really learn anything new. But those who just begin to try to get into the enterprise [...]

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.

Don’t worry. My purpose is not to say managers are going to be useless, but only to update a few notions. Intrapreneurship have been (slowly but surely) gaining ground in a lot of heads, that’s not someting really new. But the turn the economy is making makes this concept more and more important today, as [...]

As I promised, let’s think about what would be the definition of an employee 2.0. In fact it’s really harder to define the employee 2.0 than the enterprise 2.0. Perharps it’s because enterprise 2.0 can be defined by facts, by what should / would be, and employee 2.0 can only be defined by his expectations [...]
