"Most customers now ignore targeted marketing campaigns, avoid responding to offers, and provide minimal feedback when asked. Instead, potential customers interact with each other, bypassing sanitized corporate messages devoid of meaning or value.

Meanwhile, employees increasingly look beyond compensation to non-monetary factors such as advancement, recognition, and corporate social responsibility in choosing where to work. And with the retirement of the Baby Boomers looming, attracting, retaining, and growing the next generation of leaders is an essential task for any organization."

"La taille d’une organisation influe sur les modes de prise de décision, de transfert d’information ou de coopération, ce qui fait que les « bonnes recettes » à 10 personnes ne fonctionnent pas forcément à 100 ou encore moins à 1000. Plus précisément, un grand nombre de problèmes apparaissent lorsque la taille augmente, et l’efficacité n’est pas proportionnelle à la force de travail disponible. Cette constatation n’est pas sans rappeler ce qu’on observe dans les systèmes parallèles (cf. la loi d’Admdhal) qui montre que la puissance que l’on obtient en multipliant les processeurs est compensée par la tâche croissante de synchronisation. Ce n’est pas une surprise : les petites structures souffrent moins des problèmes de coordination et de synchronisation !"

"TIBCO launched tibbr, a heavy duty and secure social platform a year ago and is approaching 1M users at companies like Macy's, KPMG, and shipping giant OOCL. Now they are adding a number of new features. There are five guiding principles in this effort. First, you need to be able to have users get started right away and it needs to be easy to use. The consumer Web has set this expectation and reduced budgets demand it. Gone are the days of six month IT projects and extensive employee training programs. Here is a sample user’s view of tibbr."

"In the context of internal collaboration specifically, this report from Charlene Li at The Altimeter Group illustrates just how insufficient the progress has been for general purpose social business in the enterprise. And when you benchmark the technology category of social business software (that includes employee, customer and partner engagement) against say CRM, or BI or ERP, its even more striking how nascent the sector is compared to its predecessors.

Il apparaît à de plus en plus de gens que nos organisations héritées du taylorisme disposent avec les nouvelles technologies de larges réserves d’efficacité qui ne demandent qu’à être libérées. A condition d’intégrer pleinement les possibilités offertes par les nouveaux usages numériques, et de pouvoir conduire le changement, et dans les structures et dans les mentalités. Et de savoir où aller, et par quoi commencer.

"In today’s increasingly dynamic business environment, organizations must continuously adapt to survive. Ironically, change management has become a major bottleneck. Inefficient offline reviews are disconnected from daily operations and unresponsive to evolving requirements. Organizations’ need a practical mechanism for managing controlled variance and change in-flight to break the logjam."

"The concept of information sharing by the CIA is considered an oxymoron by some, but the agency has become a leader in this area. The changes came after perceived failures related to 9/11 and the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction debacle.

The CIA responded to those lapses by establishing an online data-sharing environment, the Worldwide Intelligence Review (WIRe). "

"Imagine booting your computer one morning and being presented with the three to five core tasks you need to complete that day. You click on the first item, and everything you need (tools; the latest sales report from your business intelligence (BI) system; notifications regarding a new CRM opportunity; an expense report requiring approval; and input from colleagues, partners, and/or customers) appears in a single workspace, where you can easily synthesize the information and take the next appropriate action.

Contrast that to today’s siloed work approach with several open screens and applications and time wasted toggling back and forth between a CRM system, a BI system, a to-do list, email, documents, Web pages, a search engine, a chat window, a spreadsheet (or two), and some form of collaborative or social management tool."

"Few organizations providing enterprise social software have a process and integration DNA, as does TIBCO Software. The last of the independents in the enterprise integration game, TIBCO supports some of the most gnarly systems integration efforts at some of the best known organizations in the world. For these reasons, I went to TUCON 2011, TIBCO’s Annual Customer Conference to see what customers have to say about Tibbr, TIBCOs enterprise social software offering."

"In looking at different definitions with different perspectives and a business lens, the one above made the most sense to me. After 16 months, it was time to revisit a diagram created for “A Guide to Understanding Social CRM”. I will not go so far as to call my earlier work wrong, naïve is a better descriptor. The evolution diagram contained my thought process at that time. Without over using the concept, my own thinking has evolved."

"Jive has filed its S1. For those that don’t know, this is a document filed at the SEC which is the precursor to an IPO. The IPO doesn’t have to happen but that’s the general intention.

I was particularly keen to see this S1 because it provides valuable insights into a a company before it launches on the public markets. In relatively new categories like so-called social business, it also gives us a glimpse about the shape and size that market might become. In this case, Jive is one of the early start up vendors that is attempting to make collaboration a business reality. It’s been around a few years so has the market positioning and experience to tell a credible story."

In Steve Rosenbaum’s Curation Nation, Esther Dyson quotes Bill Gates as saying “The future of search is verbs”. Esther goes on to say that nobody really looks for something per se, they look for things in order to do something.

Action.

When Marc Benioff elucidates his vision for the Social Enterprise, he stresses the importance of having information you can act on. So for the last few months I’ve been spending time thinking about what makes information actionable, and whether the social enterprise helps or hinders in this regard.

"But what if I would focus on projects? What might a conceptual model of Social Project Management look like? I choose to focus on culture and identity and their role in interaction and collaboration as mechanism for resilience in temporary tribes (like projects). Hence the prefix “social” to PM. "

"“Technology is no longer the preserve of the CIO,” said Ken McGee, vice president and Gartner Fellow. “It has become everyone’s property and everyone’s issue.”

With the IT industry on track to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4 percent for the next five years Gartner has identified seven business and IT issues that CIOs should act on during the next three years. “CIOs will need to begin implementing these technologies within three years to meet the six year predictions,” Mr. McGee said. The seven issues include:"

"Transforming business to a networked environment is mostly about changing business culture to become more social and connected but it doesn't mean that specific tools aren't needed to support that transformation. Two things come together to create great change, technology and culture. The social web is a driving force that is empowering people to change business culture and forcing people back to the center of activity in the enterprise."

"This is then the management challenge of the knowledge economy: how to create the conditions and structure that will enable and empower employees to do what needs to be done.

"e innovation zealot in me felt instant disappointment today upon reading that Google Wave is no longer. The official word from Google:

But despite these wins, and numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects."

Some people complain that enterprise search should behave more like Google search, which I vehemently disagree with, for one primary reason: enterprise search is a FUNDAMENTALLY different problem than internet search. Here are some examples:
