Februar 2008 entschied sich Luis Suarez für ein radikales Experiment: Der IBM-Manager beschloss, künftig für die tägliche Arbeit auf E- Mails zu verzichten. Of Mirror Neurons And Social Media. Mirror neurons just might be the most exciting neurological discovery of the last twenty years.
First described in 1992 in macaque monkeys by neurophysiologists at the University of Parma, Italy, mirror neurons may help explain everything from language acquisition to self-awareness. What are mirror neurons? The story of their discovery and what they do from Wikipedia: "...neurophysiologists placed electrodes in the cortex of the macaque monkey to study neurons specialized for the control of hand and mouth actions (for example, taking hold of an object and manipulating it).
During each experiment, scientists recorded from a single neuron in the monkey's brain while the monkey was allowed to reach for pieces of food, so the researchers could measure the neuron's response to certain movements. From these observations have come fascinating speculations. This is a huge topic, impossible to cover exhaustively in a blog post.
Social, mobile and the cloud are the future of collaboration. Companies are looking for easier and more cost-effective ways to collaborate within their organisations.
The death of Google Wave left room for more innovative ways of collaborating. The future of collaboration seems to lie in the convergence of mobile, social and the cloud. “By 2014, all smartphones will transparently synchronise local data with at least one cloud service. By 2014, most organisations will deliver mobile applications to workers through private application stores”, says vice president of Gartner Research Monica Basso.
The Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Africa 2011 kicked off in Cape Town on Tuesday 23 August with a heavy focus on cloud computing. Basso’s presentation focused on collaboration via mobile devices with cloud capabilities and how they will drive innovation in the workplace. Basso sums up mobility’s move to using the cloud for consumer services including social network communities, microblogs, app stores and cloud synchronisation and file sharing.

Social Business: the Current Situation and Future Predictions (infographic) The Three C’s of Social Business. Einstein said “everything must be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler”.

I decided to apply this process to social business and in so doing something emerged that I believe is very useful in understanding social in the enterprise. In a document that we published last year called The Social Business Framework,we explored the two key levers that can be applied to socialize business, content and community. A year later and after quite a bit of research on social business, I now believe that there was a missing element beyond content and community that is critical for building a complete enterprise social strategy. This third element is collaboration.
