In a recent article on eWeek Chris Preimesberger features Jive Software as the “leader of the pack” in bringing the “gamification” idea to the intranet. While I was first enthrilled about the headline of the article, I was disappointed at the end. Why? Because the article leaves the reader unclear in which extend the solutions [...]

Walking the Talk on the Search for the Social Business Excellence
It’s been a while that I have published some content in this place – and it’s hard to find into blogging-mode again after weeks of not contributing. After all many contributions about the outcomes of the E20 SUMMIT have already been made (and put together in this wiki system by Jim Worth). Therefore to add [...]
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. [...]

Why Taylorism prevails in the knowledge economy (and what to do about it)
Post by our Guest Blogger Cecil Dijoux I have been blogging quite substantially about Lean Management lately and I have noticed a common purpose with Agile methodologies (which get me blogging 4 years ago) and Enterprise 2.0 (which has kept my blogging busy for the last 2 years) : they all address complexity and permanent [...]

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We are living in a world of changes and constant adaption – sometimes the plans defined yesterday are no longer valid today as the environment has changed.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 [...]

Information security versus openness
There is a strong development of mobile access. More and more people are using smart phones to access the Internet, reading e-mails or using other online services. It is convenient and they can do it when they can’t do other things, like if they are waiting for their flight or train. Good reasons to ask [...]

How can we learn from the pirates
Yesterday I saw at the TV a film (Terra X, ZDF German TV) about pirates. For sure they were terrible brutal people, like they are still today. So I do not really like pirates, but we can probably learn from them. They started a “new business” which was new at this time before. At the [...]

E20 as a mean to support the organizational performance goals of HR
As already mentioned in my recent blog post we are strongly heading towards a more HR und Organizational Development driven discussion at our events like the E20 SUMMIT and the German IOM SUMMIT. I therefore took my Easter break to digg down a little bit into the current understanding of the HR and OD views [...]
