A few words about a founding principle of web 2.0 that appears to be a big mistake. This won’t be without impacts on future usages, on the werb as inside companies because we are reaching the limits of the central component of any collective dynamic : the user.

Too much governance leads to ungovernance
July 17th, 2009 · View Comments · IT, enterprise 2.0, social computing
IT governance is all the more strategic since it applies to the backbone of the business. As a matter of fact, it’s hard to be effective when the strategic line is unknown, when what’s allowed and what’s not is not well defined. Effective companies need well defined rules.
With the emergence of web 2.0, governance took [...]

The impossible modeling of the social enterprise as such
June 30th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
I really liked Jeremiah Owyang’s work on the future of the social web a lot, just as the discussion we had when he visited Paris. I wondered if such a model can apply to enterprises, the kind of thing that is intellectually challenging whitout being sure if would be of any use.
I quickly came to [...]

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 [...]

Web 2.0 turned the digital divide into a social divide
June 21st, 2009 · View Comments · Social Networking, social computing, society
Digital divide used to be and still is a real concern in our industrialized countries. Maybe we should end talking about industrialized countries to say “computerized countries” what seems to be more relevant with today’s world. Maybe some would say that it’s because we neglected this shift that we were stuck with old industrial models [...]
The three dimensions of enterprise 2.0
June 16th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
There are many discussions on what enterprise 2.0 is, what it implies. There are many different visions, depending on each one’s interests. From one extreme to the other we start from an utilitarian vision (providing with new tools) to end with a cultural big bang (new philosophy of organization and economics, new human-centric values). One [...]

From the 5 eras of social web to transforming organizations
May 25th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, social computing
I had the chance to meet up with Jeremiah Owyang during his last coming in Paris. He presented us his report on the the future of social web. An interesting discussion followed, then we came to have a drink and carried on.
One thing I used to sense and which was confirmed is the specificity of [...]

Enterprise 2.0 (finally) moves toward Enterprise
April 14th, 2009 · View Comments · Organization & Management, enterprise 2.0
An interesting and salutary move is being iniated in the small world of both web and enterprise 2.0. It’s about what I would call a “de-technologization” of the concept and, according to me, will take back enterprise 2.0 to a ground it should not have left : the enterprise as a productive organization that must [...]

Why communication managers don’t have to fear enterprise 2.0

Among the many misunderstandings that may slow adoption of new practices and tools, there is the fear communication managers may have of what is often presented as a new freedom of speech for employees.
Nothinb but logical : the role of a communication department is to spread the corporate message and avoid any kind of interference. [...]
