Like it or not, the smallest unit of work is the individual task. People’s workday is made of achieving tasks, and even in the context of group or collaborative work. A group only delivers the sum of the tasks achieved by its members. That’s why coordination matters. We can even say that, how ironic, knowledge [...]

The myth of free and how it impacts employee’s participation
November 12th, 2009 · View Comments · Recommended Bookmarks
Many people are discussing all around the web (and even beyond) whether digital things must be free or not. On the one hand, there are those who think that everything that is not tangible and is fluidly exchanged through the net is free by nature, on the other end there are those who think that [...]

June 2nd, 2008 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Ideas & innovation management, Intranets & collaborative tools, social computing
I took advantage from my trip to attend Webcom Montreal to make a flying visit to Toronto. The main purpose was family but it was also the occasion to meet Rex Lee in person at his Toronto’s office. For those who don’t know him, he’s collaboration director at Bell Canada and, although less mediatized [...]

Participation on Online Communities : can we beat the “natural law” ?
April 9th, 2008 · View Comments · Communities, Human resources, IT, Social Networking
It seems that question of participation rate on online communities is coming back as a major issue. I’d rather say that people are wondering if the rate we notice on the web are still relevant within the enterprise, that’s to say if in an organization where people are supposed to be involved and use the [...]

People are more likely to share information if they know why
March 29th, 2008 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
Companies know their performance depends more and more on their ability to use information. But information that’s not harnessed can’t be used.

How Finaref managed to get both innovation and web 2.0 within the organization
February 1st, 2008 · View Comments · Ideas & innovation management, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing
I never write anything about my projects and clients in my job at blueKiwi two reasons : first the company has it own site to communicate and, second, there’s always a suspicion about objectivity when you talk about your employer.

So Web 2.0 doesn’t work…or misunderstandings about communities
April 25th, 2007 · View Comments · Intranets & collaborative tools, enterprise 2.0
Some where waiting for it…we got the news last week : web 2.0 don’t work. It’s the conclusion of a CNET article : nobody collaborates on the collaborative web.
Have we been fooled ? Are all the alleged benefits of web 2.0 only a cloud of smoke ? Sure this kind of conclusion can scare people [...]
Looking for 2.0 indicators
February 25th, 2007 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
Sorry, this blog is very late compared to my french one and I’ll make everything possible to have it updated more frequently. I have a scheduled note dealing with indicators in enterprise 2.0 but it was supposed to be published after my series on “what’s an enterprise in 2007″ and I can’t wait to introduce [...]
