December 1st, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

Having [...]

You want your employees to be more “social” ? Rely on their selfishness

November 3rd, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

People Centric Organizations ? Not that sure…

September 24th, 2009 · View Comments · Human resources, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing

August 24th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management

Ross Mayfield recently published a fundamental post about “social CRM“. The statement of fact is simple : 1% of customer’s conversations improve the organizational knowledge, 9% touch the organization without changing anything and 90% are not heard at all, businesses miss an impressive source of possible improvemens.

So this is the continuation of the reflection I started here. The purpose is not to discuss any management related thing but to position enterprise 2.0 regarding to the real enterprise.

July 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing, strategy

The last Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston sounded the knell of many illusions. It won’t be a surprise for anyone, we’ve been talking about that for months and feeling it was coming.
