The answer is obviously not. And not only because this is not the same kind of contracts. It’s because businesses still act according to the model that makes them consider their employees on one side and the others on the other side. And in the middle…they build walls.

As you must have noticed, everything is becoming social or virtual. Sometimes both at the same time. To such an extent that these words which carries a real sense are more and more considered as buzzwords which impact can even be negative.
Social first. We’ve known what a network is for ages, but in this early [...]

Enterprises far beyond enterprise 2.0
January 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Human resources, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, strategy
A few weeks ago I amused myself proposing a few tracks on what enterprise 2.0 may be in 2009. But I think pushing the reflection beyond would be worth : enterprise 2.0 is only a side of a much complex reality that is enterprise and will be of any use only in a global framework. [...]

Tools on the cloud for “on the ground” benefits
November 13th, 2008 · View Comments · Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy, social computing
Even if cloud computing is not the same thing as social software and enterprise 2.0 et is more about the way tools are delivered than functionnal classication, it makes interesting shortcuts in order to remind people of some obvious things that are too often forgotten.
I always repeat that social tools related benefits are not to [...]

As an example, my newtorks on facebook and linkedin have nothing in common, links are built upon different criterias, in different contexts.

Disintermediarization : how a 2.0 practice can help against credit crunch
