We are just back from our German IOM SUMMIT which happened to take place in Köln the last two days. The event was once more an intense discussion of best practices about the changes that come along with the introduction of social software initiatives within the enterprise. Though primarily focussed on a more operative level [...]

In the Search for the Social Business Excellence
Last week Thomas and I have been to Paris to start our pre-”E20 SUMMIT” events with a first round-up of meetings with partners and the E20 community in Paris. Everybody is quite excited about the event to come to Paris – also with high expectations in regards to the insights that it may offer. Regarding [...]
Social objects as explanation of the E20 significance of social messaging
The search for the key triggers to Enterprise 2.0 adoption is still on-going. Many contributions have already been made, but the master plan is yet to be defined (if there is even one to be identified!). In our “Enterprise 2.0 Adoption” paper Joachim summarized quite some concepts and ideas of last year’s Enterprise 2.0 SUMMIT. [...]
E20 SUMMIT is starting off with a new date!
We are living in a world of changes and constant adaption – sometimes the plans defined yesterday are no longer valid today as the environment has changed. This is also the description of what is happening to our conference plans and actions every now and then – and has happened this summer for the planned [...]

10-9-8 … the ignition starts! Relaunch in progress.
We are happy to welcome you at this “renewed” place on the internet. The “Enterprise 2.0 Blog” is the successor of the “Enterprise2Open Blog“.

E20 and the diverse reality of its adoption

You might already have read the recent interviews (at Isabel Ayel’s blog or Wissensauslese) about [...]

Does the legitimacy of members of my social graph increase the importance and trustworthiness of my information?
A number of scholars have argued that if an actor’s partner in a network form of organization possesses considerable legitimacy or status, then the actor may derive legitimacy or status through the affiliation. This legitimacy or status may in turn have a number of positive economic benefits for the actor, ranging from survival to organizational [...]

Call-For-Participation for the Open Space Workshop
Good news – we have opened up our “open space workshop” also to not-yet attendees. While the open space workshop at last year’s conference was structured by the open issues and questions of only conference attendees, we have re-defined the concept for this year’s workshop. With today’s “call for topics” everybody can suggest a session [...]

Where do we stand in regards to the “E20 evolution”? – Some thoughts …
But talking about the Enterprise 2.0 “evolution” we also have to distinguish between the E20 reality and the E20 visions – as defined by the evangelists in this field. For the E20 reality I would say that (at least for the German area) the projects around the topic of Enterprise 2.0 are not yet spinning [...]
Perceptions on the importance of the cultural background to the adoption strategy
Since we are preparing the E20 SUMMIT I have become a regular visitor in Paris and participant of the French Enterprise 2.0 discussions – and I have to say that the observations I made during my trips and meetups support once more my view that there is no such thing as a generalized adoption strategy.
