I write “social network” or “community” to use the most generic term but my words are about all the so-called “2.0″ projects that may take place within companies. Companies have been knowing that in such projects communties, groups must have a purpose, a defined goal. Thank you for not smiling at such a statement of [...]

Enterprise 2.0 : the truth is in the middle
September 1st, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, social computing
As you may have notices in my latest posts (and it will continue in the future ones), questions related to enterprise 2.0 (the name does not matter, it’s one more evolution process as there were already many in the past, and a new name for many olds things), it’s not a matter of break but [...]

The enterprise and the web
June 26th, 2009 · View Comments · IT, Intranets & collaborative tools, social computing
Finally, many current debates are about the enterprises’ ability to understand, master and harness the web, internally. This may seem trivial because purely technological and being about competences that are much lighter that those IT depts have been using for decades. But, at the end, it’s more complicated that it seems.
As a matter of fact [...]

The social vs process debate makes no sense
June 9th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
It started with a remark from a friend, a few weeks ago :
There’s nothing social in this project. Only good old processes
I clearly understood what he meant but, in some ways, I was not comfortable with that. There was something like a mistake in the underlying assumptions.
In the first times, “social” within companies (social computing, [...]

When does the value of a “social object” have to be measured ?
June 2nd, 2009 · View Comments · Information / knowledge management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Let’s be clear, I’m talking about value, not about ROI (although the one is a part of the other) and about “social objects” in the large sense of the word : everything that can exist on a social platform, when using social software. It may be a content, an information specially generated, an information shared [...]

Enterprise 2.0 as a part of the Global Enterprise
May 12th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0
Many questioning about enterprise 2.0 these last weeks. How to make it work, how help companies to understand it, how to calculate the ROI ? So many questions that, at the end, can be summed up in only one : undestranding how these new logics can integrate into the existing and add to it. Without [...]

Is there a 2.0 way to draw an org-chart ?
February 11th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, project management
When talking about enterprise 2.0, something we offer hear is “sounds interesting but our company is not designed to work this way”. Understand : we decide to do something and we “push” it, don’t even think of allowing a bottom-up flow to exist in this context. Of course, that causes gaps, the company isn’t able [...]

External social networks are not only for marketing purposes
January 21st, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communication, Communities, Organization & Management, project management
Generally, when I talk about social networks for other people than employees, I’m answered “ah ? I thought you were not interested in all these marketing things”. This is the obvious proof that, for many people and many companies, when you aim at an external audiance it’s for communication and sale purpose, following a one [...]

Can enterprises organize themselves as markets
January 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Information / knowledge management, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy, social computing
What’s a market ? It’s a place when offer meets demand.
Companies love markets because it’s the more efficient way to find outlets for their products and identify suppliers. It’s a competitiveness factor because of the outlets it provides and the optimization of costs that competition makes possible.
The “social” web is a market somehow. Contents can [...]

What 2007′enterprise is. Production is changing.
March 3rd, 2007 · View Comments · Organization & Management
At first sight nothing has changed. Coca Cola still produces beverages, GM cars… So what makes me say production changed ?
If you have a closer look you’ll realize that enterprises are now producing information. And what about car manufacturers for example ? Exactly the same. Consider, for example, how much information was necessary to conceive [...]
