Last Friday’s cover of the Boston Metro proclaimed “ How recession is forcing creativity in entertainment.” It’s an interesting article on how the current economy mixed with the advent of Web 2.0 is affecting the entertainment industry, but the title held a different appeal for me. Serendipitously, I am working on IAI’s soon to be […]
In 2008, Dan Keldsen and I published on behalf of AIIM, a groundbreaking report on Enterprise 2.0. One of the more startling and fundamental facts that we uncovered was that age did not matter as much as folks thought, as it relates to the adoption of Enterprise 2.0. In fact it really didn’t matter at […]
Thanks to the generosity of Randy Corke of Chaordix, this Wednesday I had the opportunity to go to a meeting of the Ad Club. The Ad Club is the trade organization for marketing, advertising and communications in New England. A different crowd for me. So why was I invited? Why did I go? The topic […]
I have said it before, as have many others, Enterprise 2.0 is not just about technology. As I have commented on, this was a common theme at this year’s Enterprise 2.0 conference. Indeed, if web-based collaboration were only about the technology, then any organization with even a modest IT budget would be doing it and […]
As I blogged about in my summation of the Enterprise 2.0 summit, innovation was a popular term being tossed around at the conference. New web-based social networks provide new, wider, leaner and more agile environments in which to collaborate, group think and brainstorm, leading to innovation. But there is (obviously?) more to innovation than simply […]
In marketing his most recent white paper for KMWorld, Andy Moore wrote: “For decades, it’s been a promise. But knowledge management is finally possible. That’s because social networking MAKES it possible. By allowing fast, easy and lightweight collaboration between individuals and workgroups, tools such as user forums, blogs, wikis and their ilk have finally made […]
In 1964, Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase ” The medium is the message.” I have often quoted McLuhan in my writings and presentations, in agreement. But, I fear far too many take his message the wrong way, which can and has lead to serious repercussions. Yesterday I was watching to a video podcast interview between […]
Whats the greatest invention of all time. Come on – you know the answer. Universally it is used as the benchmark against which all new inventions are compared. “It’s the greatest thing since …” Right, Sliced bread. OK – so we can debate whether or not sliced bread REALLY IS the greatest invention of all […]
I am appalled, indeed outraged by the Chinese government’s ongoing use of censorship and suppression of search tools, blogs and microblogging in order to “erase” the Tianamen Square Massacre from the history of China. According to recent articles, there is an entire generation of Chinese who have no idea the event ever happened. But, while […]
More than once I have blogged on the emergence of ECM as a specialized obscure practice within techno-geeks into the limelight of critical business applications. In my last blog post (“ECM It was the Best of Times, it Was the Worst of Times) I discussed how according to popular news sources, ECM was responsible for […]
