Moving toward business models of a new kind : the example of “Danone Supporting Life”

May 7th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, society

One thing is sure : the “after the crisis world” will be very different from what it was before. It may seem obvious, but if we have a closer look at what happened in the past, we have to admit many upturns consisted of the rebuilding of what used to exist as it was. This [...]

Efficiency, performance, constraints and things 2.0

April 16th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0

We saw in a previous post that one of the best ways to improve performance was not to push to people to make impossible things but to get rid of the constraints that crub their performance. Once that said, if the vision is understandable by everyone (rather than trying to push something large in a [...]

Think 2.0 and search for your client

April 2nd, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management

In the “how to  build enterprise 2.0″ or “how to make management 2.0 happen in the workplace” series (which is not always the same thing) I think that before defining any action plan it’s important to understand the logic underneath. As a matter of fact, it’s impossible to bring anyone to do anything if he [...]

Management 2.0, SOO and productivity

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

I started, here and there, writing about the need for changing flows direction within organization : switching from a “pushed” to a “pull” way of producting and communicating. The purpose is to make it possible for people to determine their action according to a goal rather than to an order.
Why is that so important ?

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. Last years I slowely slipped from management 2.0 to enterprise 2.0, even if I find it sad that there were so many people to discuss about of make companies use 2.0 tools than people [...]

Enterprise 2.0 : my predictions for 2009

December 18th, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy, social computing

Honestly I was not sure I would conform to the annual predictions tradition. Finally, since my 2008 edition was not that bad (shift from “social tools at people’s disposal” to the acknowledgement it needed inclusion in business process) and Susan kindly asks for it, I’ll try to do something interesing this year.

A crisis that’s not that economic

December 17th, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, strategy

Webcom in review

May 16th, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, enterprise 2.0

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 [...]
