Tools on the cloud for “on the ground” benefits

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 [...]

11 tips for a friend who’d like to try enterprise 2.0

I often talk with friends who experience every day at work the problems I write about here and, once, they end by asking “what’s this thing you write about…enterprise 2.0 ? I ear about it sometimes but I can’t understand what it’s really about…but if it could help me solving my problems it would be [...]

What’s the value of knowledge and experience

It’s a very “hot”  question at this time. The blessed days when people could be assessed on hom many pieces they produced a day is over. Now the “knowledge capital” is key, and what has to be assessed is not a controlled production but the ability to face uncertainty and offer solutions.
In brief, expertise, experience, [...]

The art of mistaking means for goals

I often worry when I see companies that mistakes means for goals. It’s a common issue on enterprise 2.0 : “put people into networks”, “share information”, “collaborate” are not goals, they are only means that help to achieve goals. Reduce the time of response, innovate more and quicker, devilver something that exactly meets client’s needs, [...]

Value 2.0

At a time when many people are discussing the definition of enterprise 2.0 and its ROI, I think it would be better to go back to the basics : making value. In fact, if only a few people really care about the definition, companies (remember our purpose is to help enterprises, not to build [...]

Wikinomy will deeply affect enterprise’s size and structure

I fully agree with Don Tapscott’s wikinomy concept. We’re not talking about the massive use of wikis but about the mass collaboration phenomenon.
The fact is there is more knowledge and innovation outside your company than inside. Some understand it, and among them few are taking benefit from it and many fear it. To make it [...]

Perhaps ROI is 1.0 and Added Value is 2.0

Just in case you spent the last monthes on planet Mars, one of the hottest topics about enterprise 2.0 is the question of its ROI.
So what is ROI ? Does it have to be purely mathematical and logical of can it be “soft” and (partly) qualitative. My opinion is that more and more people now [...]

Harnessing the power of informal networks

In the neverending debate about knowing if a “soft ROI” is a real ROI or not, it seems that we can now rely on McKinsey. In fact a lot of people know that a soft ROI is a real ROI…but since their hierarchy doesn’t tell them so they refuse to take it into account in [...]

Any value for networks ?

Social tools’ ROI is one of the hottest topics on the enterprise 2.0 debate.
I found a very interesting post titlted “don’t use the old rules to justify web 2.0″ which message was nearly “2.0 tools have a ROI that’s nearly impossible to evaluate without changing the way we consider things”. And I understand ” the [...]
