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

External social networks are not only for marketing purposes

January 21st, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Communication, Communities, Organization & Management, project management

Enterprises far beyond enterprise 2.0

January 20th, 2009 · View Comments · Collaborative practices, Human resources, Intranets & collaborative tools, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, strategy

A few weeks ago I amused myself proposing a few tracks on what enterprise 2.0 may be in 2009. But I think pushing the reflection beyond would be worth : enterprise 2.0 is only a side of a much complex reality that is enterprise and will be of any use only in a global framework. [...]

November 13th, 2008 · View Comments · Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, knowledge-economy, social computing

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.
