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.

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!).

We are living in a world of changes and constant adaption – sometimes the plans defined yesterday are no longer valid today as the environment has changed.

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 [...]

E20 Adoption team
Many Enterprise 2.0 projects are implemented by communications or IT department. It was often simply done, because E20 is very close to their field of work and mostly the projects are initiated and driven by one of these departments. A lot of times not even bad, but other departments like HR for example are not [...]

To install an internal blog isn’t always easy
Using blogs within a company can be a useful tool. Looking for a best practice example for a seminar I had some discussions around this topic. I recognized that it’s not easy to start and run a successful good blog. One example out of my projects shows that it can fail easily. A business manager [...]

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 [...]
