Groups are conservative
Through @timoreilly on twitter – I think – I discovered this presentation by Clay Shirky on his latest book « Here Comes Everybody ». Clay makes the same point as in my book, namely that people gather on the web to share, then to enter conversation, then to collaborate, and finally and hopefully coordinated action. But what…

La panne de Google, la plus grande panne de productivité de l’histoire de l’humanité
Mon analyse de la panne de Google est très différente de celle de Miguel, car économique et stratégique, d’abord sur l’ampleur de la panne, ensuite sur les leçons à en tirer. Sur l’ampleur de la panne : La plus grande panne d”életricité nord américaine a couté au maximum 24,8 millions d’heures de travail en 2006. …

From the American Dream to the OECD nightmare?
What implications for the World of Work? Can tomorrow’s organization of work be constructed to avoid the worst consequences of the « nightmare »? The American Dream is relatively easy to define with two propositions: -1 One will be better off later because he has all the opportunities to grow and develop and become richer via his…

Twitter, office noise and the water cooler
The post of Luis Alberola, « My connected life changed with Twitter http://localhost:8888//boost/my-connected-life-changed-with-twitter/ » was interesting to me for an other reason than its very content. My personal work habits made me miss an important point. I work best on complex stuff when the office is empty… i.e. when there is no noise, no possible distraction,…

MyPath, a career destination
In this Beta world, in the middle of a crisis affecting employees and employers, when so many ask themselves questions about their career, Manpower is launching a very open beta experimental destination called MyPath. It is fundamentally a community site and a career management destination with tools allowing one to identify his/ her skills, finding…

The World of Work is not flat
As I currently conduct a world wide analysis of the World of Work, partially to put things in perspective (one loses it when staying too long in OECD countries) and partially to learn whatever I can. I wanted to share a few things that are not really new to me, but that I knew more…

What is Enterprise 2.0?
This keynote speech of John Chambers, Cisco’s CEO, at MIT last October is to me one of the best presentations about Enterprise 2.0 that I ever came across. Though Chambers’ fast-paced southern drawl is sometimes hard to follow, his authority on this matter comes from practice, as opposed to many gurus who don’t run large…

Collaboration will push people management from execution to strategy
I was with a client yesterday, thinking about how to bring collaboration skills (and awareness) to future leaders. Several points come to my mind after this conversation: – This particular client has broken down its HR department: HR administration, social matters and people development are really managed by very different departments and people. This is…

The Web 2.0 and the electric motor

People centered organizations
I re-read recently a couple of posts by Stowe Boyd, on his notion that « the individual is the new group » (here). Stowe’s point, as I understand it, is that the important thing for the new social tools is giving people the ability to form the groups they need at the moment they need them (Stowe…

Putting « Enterprise 2.0 » in perspective
The entire buzz around Enterprise 2.0 starts sometimes to seem a bit unrealistic and even boring to some, including me, and some relative perspective is needed. It is true that Web2.0 is ill defined in general and that enterprise 2.0 means different things to different people. It is actually part of the issue: undefined words…

With the crisis Organizations will accelerate their move toward more collaboration
Organizations’ evolution towards “networks and community” centered organization will be accelerated through the crisis. Corporations will have to create more transversal elements within the organization. We generally speak about a talent marketplace, a knowledge marketplace and a community/networks marketplace. This new NCM Network Centric Management will prove a competitive advantage (or a disadvantage for the…

La crise financière à la lumière des réseaux?
Plusieurs billets de Bertrand Duperrin (dont celui-ci ) me font réfléchir sur l’interprétation que nous pourrions donner de la crise financière, nous qui prétendons nous intéresser à l’économie des réseaux et donc à la confiance interpersonnelle (axe principal de mon livre ). Un économiste japonais dont j’ai oublié le nom disait la semaine dernière que…

Tout sur l’Entreprise 2.0 en 3 petits-déjeuners
Nous inaugurons le 24 octobre 2008 une série de 3 petits-déjeuners consacrés à l’Entreprise 2.0. L’Entreprise 2.0, c’est dans sa définition originelle (Andrew Mc Afee, avril 2005), l’utilisation des technologies du Web 2.0 dans l’entreprise, avec un constat assez étonnant, celui d’une adoption bien plus importante des usages collaboratifs qu’avec des outils traditionnels, et une…

NetCentric Management is not equal to Management + Web2.0

Rethinking the Value of Talent
By Jeffrey Joerres and Dominique Turcq, published by the Business+Strategy online magazine, 30 May 2006 « Classifying employees by their role in the success of your business rather than by their function can improve the effectiveness of recruiting, staff development, and deployment.
