There Goes Your Bonus: Shut Thy Mouth

October 28, 2010

“Fear of Retribution” is probably the most feared reason why employees DON’T use Enterprise 2.0 tools.  This has been hit home recently as I and a number of other friends have had our hands slapped for “working out loud.” “Ha,” you may say!  ”What on earth did you all say?  It must have been bad!” [...]

The Opposite of Success is Not Failure

October 26, 2010

Apple (the company) was on a decline.  You can’t say that they were failing, but they were headed that direction.  They had fired Steve Jobs a decade before.  Now, struggling they turned back to Steve who had been a success in other ventures.  When he took over as iCEO (interim CEO) he reset the focus [...]

Your Enterprise 2.0 Strategy Is Flawed – Now Embrace It

October 21, 2010

Organizations are looking for the bulletproof collaboration strategy.  I often hear, “How are you going to do XXXX?”  I might reply that “my plan is to do YYYY, but if it doesn’t work we will try something else”.  The reaction takes people off guard because they think there is a right way to do all [...]

How Enterprise 2.0 is Like a Get Rich Quick Scheme

September 30, 2010

A pencil can be used to write, as a test of manhood (a first grader showing how strong he is by breaking it), and as a murder weapon (I have never seen this, but I am sure it could happen). A book can be used to enlighten, kill a cockroach or as fuel for a fire. A [...]

10 Steps to Creating an Online Community – There Aren’t Any

September 27, 2010

There aren’t any steps. I’ve never really liked “STEPS” lists, because they are too generic (unless you are putting together the Space Shuttle, or something like that).  It is as if they will take you to the holy grail. Steps imply that they must be done in order – in sequence.  Yet each community is [...]

The Secret: How NOT to Build an Online Community

September 10, 2010

At the NASA IT Summit a few weeks ago, the famed Nick Skytland of NASA gave a really good session on the use of new technology by the “Digital Natives” and Millenials (those who grew up using this new technology).  He talked about how those entering the work force were different because they didn’t need [...]

Assimilation or Innovation? Your Opportunity Awaits.

September 2, 2010

It happens time and time again.  It is the evolution we all see, but rarely acknowledge. A person, or a group of people work hard and fail.  They don’t stop, but rather they try something new and they iterate.  They take what worked and capitalize on it and drop that which didn’t work.  And in [...]
