I recently wrote that it what obvious to me that for many people some activities and behaviors had to remain in their private sphere and, that social networking and everything that comes with is not a part of what they naturally want to transpose in the workplace. I also temperated my words saying that, of [...]

The future impact of open money in organizations
April 30th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, enterprise 2.0
In the beginning I didn’t really take an interest in this topic and, so I missed many things about what may have a real impact on organizations in the future.
Virtual Moneys are nothing new and come in many forms : in France we have the SEL, Switzerland WIR. Closer to us, people who are used [...]

Disintermediarization : how a 2.0 practice can help against credit crunch
October 9th, 2008 · View Comments · Social Networking
Enterprise 2.0 is enterprise before being 2.0 and social tools are tools before being social. It’s very important to understand that anything 2.0 is, before all, characterized by a vision of interactions between people before being about the use of such or such tools. And a relevant vision can help bringing an old legacy business [...]

Can we identify good managers by the way their team uses the net ?
October 1st, 2008 · View Comments · Human resources, Information / knowledge management, Organization & Management, information, knowledge-economy
A very common discourse within companies is : “our people waste their time on social networks and, more globally, on the web. We have to restrict access to it”.
If, when talking about social networks, it depends on the way people use them, so its important to grant access to what useful for business, I find [...]

Quotations between provocation and good sense
June 3rd, 2008 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Quotations, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0
Sometimes I find sentences which are really worth by themselves, that have a lot of meaning, whether in or out of their original context. I often bookmark them but this time I think they’re worth a post. As a matter of fact I find two series of nice quotations in two posts I recently read [...]

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 [...]

Archimedes theorem applied to Enterprise 2.0..with trust instead of liquid
April 1st, 2008 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
I often say that even when change seems promising, it’s important to keep our feets on the ground and to go step by step. Excess often lead to another excess in the opposite direction and organizations rarely benefit from what seemed to be so promising.
If we consider companies will have to change, two solutions are [...]

Trust doesn’t preclude control…but which control ?
March 21st, 2008 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
That’s a key point in enterprise 2.0 discussion : build a base called trust, which has effects on transparency, loosen grip and the command and control world that’s ours. Hence the announced end of “command and control”.
Why the end of command and control ? Regarding “command”, can you imagine an organization where nobody commands ? [...]

Collaboration, enterprise 2.0 and the dimensions of trust
June 26th, 2007 · View Comments · Communities, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
As a networking enterprise, one of the enterprise 2.0 most important assets is that it takes the maximum benefits from synergies between people within the enterprise. If we want such synergies to emerge, there’s one ingredient we can’t forget : trust.
So trust is necessary…but what are we really talking about ? And what’s its importance [...]
