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 [...]

February 4th, 2009 · View Comments · Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
Need for synergies, for connections, to do more with less ? Whatever the official reason is (and sometimes the unofficial one), companies are now turning back to the gool old network, renamed “social network” to stick to the the current climate, to find new pools of performance.
Because companies focus on efficiency, people’s network is not [...]

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 [...]

There was an 81% increase in the number of projects globally
There was an 88% [...]

June 27th, 2008 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Organization & Management, project management
The time is not far when the question of reinventing project management will be a key issue. The purpose will be to reconsider a project as something that have to fulfill a need and not an objective by itself as it’s so often. How can we see a project is its own purpose ? [...]

Is creativity the only answer to complexity ?
May 21st, 2008 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy
Basically that would make sense. In an industrial economy everything is product-centric : we know what it is, what it’s made of, of which pieces it’s composed, there’s one and only one to produce and assemble them, and everyone knows exactly what he has to do. It’s a system based on infinite repetition of totally [...]
