De-friend or make a friend, that is the question?
Wow! If I knew that one could un-friend or de-friend when I scrambled to make some, way back, I would have made much more attempts to add people to my list. I must be old-fashioned because I always decided to be careful about that very step, just because I did not want to be bothered…

Veille collaborative : Web 2.0 or not Web 2.0 ?
Réunion la semaine dernière avec une dizaine d’entreprises autour du thème « Web 2.0– Intelligence économique, rapport à l’information, organisation de la veille». Quelles évolutions constatées ? Par rapport aux précédentes rencontres auxquelles j’ai participé sur le même thème il y a environ un an, deux changements majeurs – La communauté humaine, la proximité du…

Soon enough we could all become zombies…
Generation after generation, we have all considered kids as being much worse than we are, I am talking « we » older ones, of course! The last IFOP (a well-known French agency) survey shows that it is clearly the younger ones that have picked up easy on all social networks as « awareness rates » decline significantly from the…

How do I manage to get through the social media maze?
Some people ponder as to why they have not yet joined the craze; you know what I mean, the maze or the labyrinth of social media! But it goes so fast that unless I play the plain follower, I am quickly lost in space… where should I go, which circle should I join, how do…

How HR systems are impacted by new technologies and social networks
The impact of new technologies, especially the web 2.0 ones, and social networks will dramatically change many HR systems. A few examples: Recruitment Recruitment will be impacted by the mass of information now available on individuals via the social networks, their voluntary contributions to their profiles, the possibility to know who they are by cumbing…

Social Networks are no news to the world…
Who said we had invented anything? Just go back in history and you shall realize that the world comes in true contradiction of the NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here means a refusal to use products that have not been developed internally) both in time but also in fact. First, we have just come back full…

Social Networks are no news to the world…
Networking, symbol (gr. συμβάλλω, unite) of Unity, is hard hit by current winds of wrath and power; I just make the wish that these diabolic (gr. διάϐολος, separation) forces shall disappear in time and networking fully play its role. May companies, applying relevant tools, make only good cohesion sense out of them!

Can we change world of work’s « liabilities » into world of work’s « assets »?
Let’s be blunt, we tend, in particular in France but this country is not alone among OECD countries to behave in such a way, to consider that our labor force structure comprises three liabilities (“passif”): the young, the old, the unskilled. Why don’t we look at the reality of our needs and potential and start…

From the Organization CHART to the Organization MAPS
One of the difficulties with organizations today is to represent them in an acceptable way. The old organization chart is largely outdated since it shows only the hierarchical dependencies and not the reality of the corporation. But what is the reality? How could one represent an organization in a way useful to employees, clients,…

Pros and cons of networking in organisations: where is the balance?
Everyone talks about networking; you get invitations galore to be on some new website, then spend more time juggling from one to the other than really getting interested in what comes through, whether these are professional or personal driven. Has the world gone topsy-turvy with all this rigmarole? No, will tell you those that keep…

Social networks do offer the best networking possible; but, where is the catch?
Networking is the one key to the knowledge economy. If it all started with the web 1.0 of information posting, the web 2.0 of interconnections has leveraged the sharing opportunities to no limit, just a question of organizing your work so that you do not get overwhelmed. On top of that, it has broken barriers…

The XXIst Century is becoming a teenager, are we too?
The name of the coming decade, between now and 2020, has not yet appeared on the screens of the « namemakers » and it may take a few years before it does. However, one thing is certain, whatever else happens in this decade, and the best or the worst could (the last teenage decade, 1910-1920 was one…

Crises and Innovation: intuition, imagination and networking
Terrible to say but a crisis has a positive side to it; you must have heard about the Chinese word for crisis: written with two separate kanji that mean risk and opportunity. Thus, the crisis is here to tell us that we need to take risks and opportunities shall arise as a result! From…

Crises and Innovation: intuition, imagination and networking
Let intuition guide you, let imagination feed you, let networking kindle you: that is innovation in and of itself; if you give yourself, and your network, credit for progress, we will altogether go far ahead in our new paradigm. Happy New Year to all and let’s innovate together in 2010.

Communication… so much of it!
How many times did you feel frustrated with a simple text message when you wished you had had lengthy news? The times of the long letter, handwritten with care, sent with that special feeling (pleasure or chore, as the case may be) are long gone. Now, we get this sense of accomplishment when we have…

From Augmented Reality to Augmented Business
Another buzz word enters the arena. Two letters: AR, short for Augmented Reality (wikipedia definition). This concept has long been prophesied by the writers of the cyberpunk genre. However, with the advent of the always-on smart-phones outfitted with a GPS sensor, a magnetometer (a.k.a. digital compass) and live camera view finder, augmented reality is entering…
