Collaboration. Ecm. Enterprise 2.0 2009 - Deadline December 19th, 2008. Wrap Up of Enterprise 2.0. My brain is full after spending most of the week at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. I ran into lots of great ideas and lots of interesting and smart people. At last year's conference, it was like a light came down from the sky to show me what had been missing from my knowledge management practice. It transformed my approach to knowledge management and my life. I often start my presentations by saying they are about Enterprise 2.0 and Doug 2.0. This year's conference was not about the transformation, but more about reaping the benefits of that transformation. It was a great four days. Meeting People: The highlight of conference was the face-to-face meetings with people I have been communicating with since last year's conference. From my backyard, it was great to spend time with Jessica Lipnack, Jeff Stamps, Sharon Wilson, David Hobbie, Anne Stemlar, Andy McAfee, Jack Vinson, Patti Anklam and Dan Keldsen.

Annals of Enterprise 2.0: Picking up Drag Queens My use of the term “Drag Queens” to describe some enterprise software companies was outed today by Vinnie. What did I mean when I said “old enterprise companies dressing up like a pretty E2.0 babe” Here is the story of Tim, an Enterprise 2.0 customer who is a little timid, but has decided go for it and party the night away.
Dress up baby, we’re going out tonight Tim, a friend of Charlie, is out at a club, the lights are low, the music is loud and he has had a few drinks. The place is packed, and it seems like it is all new faces. As he is walking home through the rain, Tim is feeling pretty good. This story ends with an IT Project Failure, to say the least. Who is he/she anyway? The story is much the same for customers in the Enterprise 2.0 world. When the lights go down and the drinks start flowing however, things aren’t as clear as they were before and it isn’t always obvious who you are getting in bed with. Like this: Like Loading...

Sandy Kemsley, consultant and blogger: En. Web 2.0 Experiments at Work. I have been experimenting with a few Web 2.0 tools at work over the last few months. We are working on a big BPM/SOA initiative and are trying to find better ways to communicate what we are doing to a very large audience. Email is becoming more and more useless everyday as a tool for information sharing. We are using a combination of Blogs and a Wiki to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing. We are also formalizing our SOA governance processes. A small team of about eight people are working on defining and publishing certain processes and standards. This effort requires a great deal of collaboration and in an effort to "eat our dog food" we will rely solely on our Web 2.0 tools to carry out the collaboration.
After reading many interesting blogs recently and seeing how other companies like IBM are starting to leverage these tools, I am going to take my experiment to the next level. Here is another use case. The use cases are endless. Webcast: Info 2.0 -- Harnessing the power of Web 2.0 and enterpr. Trends to Watch: Twitter in the Enterpris. By This is become more and more of an obvious trend to look out for: A twitter clone in the Enterprise. Some early tools are now sprouting up to enable cheap low-risk deployments of the necessary tools. As I work on a more detailed post on the topic, I thought I would jot down some quick notes as to why I think this is a positive trend, but also why it will have some pitfalls. Forces reduction of hierarchy enforcing rules I say this because the more you constrain and layer access controls on “tweets” the less value they have overall, but more significantly, it directly reduces the benefit to the creator Personal Brand development – highly personal platform Crises discovery and management capability Increased awareness of ongoing work Interactions between individuals can strengthen their social-network ties to further inform other tools (like search, group forming, etc) Potential to outperform other tools in the rate of adoption (low barrier to start using the tool) Potential Issues Permalink Niall.
Enterprise 2.0 2008 - Registration Information. Enterprise 2.0 Success Stories, The Best from 20. Transparent Office: In-the-Flow and Above-the-Flow. I often hear from wiki champions inside organizations that "It's hard to get people to use wikis". There's something right about that comment, but also something wrong. I'll explain why. Wikis can be used for many different activities, which fall into two broad categories: In-the-Flow wikis enable people do their day-to-day work in the wiki itself.
When wiki champions complain that it's hard to get people to use wikis, they're usually thinking of above-the-flow wikis. But the challenge of getting people to use above-the-flow wikis is an above-the-flow thing, not a wiki thing. Above-the-flow wikis are used lightly (when at all) by large groups of people. Adoption of in-the-flow wikis looks very different. In order to bring wikis into an organization, it helps to have both kinds of wikis. Recording of Andrew McAfee and Tom Davenp.

One of the things that creating a lable such as Enterprise 2.0 does is bring attention to the collective flexibility of tools now available that provide greater access to shared information. Enterprise Social Computing: What will ha. By Charles Armstrong This is my maiden posting for FASTForward so I’d like to thank the organisers for inviting me to write here. I’m CEO of Trampoline Systems , an enterprise social computing business in London (UK).
My background is in the social sciences and in particular the discipline of ethnography ; so my interest is primarily in human and organisational factors rather than pure algorithms. Life as CEO of a high-growth technology startup is exciting but somewhat relentless, so my postings here will probably not be frequent. However I’ll do my best to comment on interesting trends and possibilities I observe in the course of speaking to customers and colleagues in the hope this will be of interest to FASTForward readers. For this first post I’m going to pick out a handful of the developments I think will be significant in 2008. Many companies will commission pilots of “Facebook for the enterprise”.

Award-Winning. » The top Enterprise Web 2.0 stories of 2007 | Enterprise Web 2. Over the last year, we have witnessed the continuation of the steady movement of the mostly consumer-driven Web 2.0 phenomenon into the workplace that began as a trickle in 2006. Blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, social networking, end-user mashups, and even prediction markets saw their largest entry yet into businesses and institutions around the world. The platform wars may start to return in 2008 as Web 2.0 ideas taught companies how to turn an open platform into competitive advantage.The more technical side of Web 2.0 also began to see maturity as businesses started to rethink their service-oriented architectures to be more Web-like and the rich Internet application industry added many major new building blocks and platforms that push the envelope in terms of the kinds of interactive experiences the Web is able to deliver.
Read here for a recap on what Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 are generally defined as. 2007 was also a year of innovation in the mobile Web space. » IBM demos ‘On Demand Workplace’; Will Web 2.0 deliver producti. IBM demoed its enterprise 2.0 experiments Tuesday including its On Demand Workplace--an application that's part intranet, part Facebook and part Web service that becomes an interface to legacy systems. IBM executives held court with a handful of bloggers, writers and analysts at its New York offices.
The presentations, currently underway, are led by CIO Mark Hennessy and focus on enabling innovation and redesigning the workplace so every employee can contribute ideas and utilizing Web 2.0 concepts. Big Blue's challenge: Herding and harnessing 372,000 employees. Hennessey noted that his job as CIO is to simplify, transform and innovate. That's easier said than done. However, IBM may be on to something. Here's a look: ODW was launched in January and was designed to incorporate IBM communities and the technology adoption program. Thus far, ODW has about 21,000 users in 83 countries. If all goes well, ODW will be rolled out as a standard.
Among the notable ODW features demoed: IBM Gulps Its Own Web 2.0 Kool-Aid. Hewlett-Packard will apparently need close to two months to start fulfilling backorders for the (temporarily) revived TouchPad tablet. "It will take 6-8 weeks to build enough HP TouchPads to meet our current commitments, during which time your order will then ship from this stock with free ground shipping," read an email sent to customers and reprinted in a Sept. 7 posting on the Precentral.net blog.
"You will receive a shipping notification with a tracking number once your order has shipped. "That would place the new TouchPads in consumers' hands sometime in either late October or early November. The reduced-price devices are not returnable, according to the email. HP originally acquired webOS as part of its takeover of Palm in 2010. The manufacturer originally had big plans for loading the operating system onto a variety of devices, including tablets, smartphones, desktops and laptops. BSG Alliance - BSG Alliance and New Paradigm Live Event Video. Enterprise RSS: The Magic (of) Quadrants. Gartner Group published a report titled Magic Quadrant for Team Collaboration and Social Software (ID#G00151493) this week. The money shot in any Gartner report is, you guessed it, the magic quadrant.
What makes this quadrant so fascinating is that there are no leaders according to Gartner, and only two who qualify as visionary but in reality only one (more on that later). In fact, according to Gartner, there are only two companies that are above the line with regard to ability to execute. Well that's kinda interesting. Here at NewsGator this report was the topic of much discussion. We were debating our decision not to participate in the group of companies Nikos Drakos included in the analysis and we tried to make sense of the large cluster of companies in the niche sector. The other observation I would make about this quadrant, which is that several of these companies are in fact represented in several places. -- Jeff Nolan is VP Corporate Development for NewsGator Technologies. » Bringing Enterprise 2.0 to Morgan Stanley | Between the Lines. Adam Carson walks the halls of Morgan Stanley in New York preaching the Web 2.0 gospel. The 28-year-old former investment banker is focused on bringing the venerable financial services firm into social Web and Enterprise 2.0, which is about leveraging Web 2.0 technologies in corporate settings.
Speaking at the Office 2.0 Conference, Carson said that Morgan Stanley has 70 to 80 Web 2.0 projects underway, many involving creating online communities with clients and wikis. His ideas are getting traction in part because of the demographics of Morgan Stanley's 55,000 employees. More than 50 percent are under 35, and over the next decade the vast majority will have grown up online, with social networking, and be quite adept with collaborative tools. Embracing Enterprise 2.0 will have an impact on recruiting and organization culture and structure, Carson said. Carson said that Morgan Stanley thinks about Enterprise 2.0 into internal and external applications. Keys to adoption Barrier and risks. 7 enterprise uses for Twitter « HiveTalk.
Blog and Wiki Success Story from Traction Softwa. Here is another cross post from the FASTForward blog as I am continuing to speak with providers in our space. I have talked with Jordan Frank, Traction Software’s Vice President for Marketing and Business Development, on numerous occasions over the last several years and feel that they have a very robust solution for the enterprise. Tractions’s Team Page was named the best enterprise wiki for 2007 by Infoworld. Many people are asking for Enterprise 2.0 success stories.
Here is a useful example of how organizations are using web 2.0 tools within the organization. The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) Orkney branch in Scotland was tangled up in email to the point that it was strangling their internal communications. This is a common problem for which Enterprise 2.0 platforms provide great solutions that are practical to implement and often lend to greater success than typical portal and collaboration solutions. Enterprise blogs enterprise wikis web 2.0 enterprise 2.0 business blogs. ABC: An Introduction to Enterprise 2.0 - CIO.com - Business Tech. CIO — No doubt, you view "Enterprise 2.0" as yet another buzzword invented by vendors who are vying for your attention.
However, once you peel back the layers and look past the Enterprise 2.0 hype, you will discover that it's a useful and reasonable set of technologies for business. As the sheer amount of enterprise content grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to track and share. It's not a new problem, but the avalanche of information your employees have to process raises the necessity to deal with the issue. Enterprise 2.0 tools make it easier to share and organize information. Tagging and rating provide a straightforward way to find content and make judgments about what to look at. In this introduction to the subject, we explain what Enterprise 2.0 is, how it can help your organization and the technology's limitations. What is Enterprise 2.0? Enterprise 2.0 takes the original concept of the Web, using websites to feed content to visitors, and turns it upside down. Continue Reading. Office 2.0 Conference: Clearspace: Office 2.0 Conference.
Collaborative Thinking: Putting Enterprise 2.0 In Perspective. The two articles below are well-worth a read. I very much agree with Tom Davenport and Andrew McAfee on this point. There has been too much irrational exuberance regarding the technology associated with E2.0. A more balanced discussion would also focus on how success of E2.0 will be largely influenced by how well an enterprise addresses the complex organizational dynamics that often inhibit change. I have a slight disagreement with Andrew McAfee that these tools are radical departures from previous generations of communication and collaboration technology. I see these technologies more as a natural progression.
The maturation of application, infrastructure and networking services has enabled software designers to take for granted certain capabilities that 15 years ago did not exist. So - were prior generations of collaboration and communication tools inadequate?
