Revisiting the Web 2.0 Framework for insights on the web landscape today Enterprise 2.0, Social Media, Web 2.0, blog, social networks | Comments Off
I have just been requested permission by London School of Economics to use my Web 2.0 Framework in their Management and Innovation of eBusiness program for the next four years. The first part of the framework is below, and the industry landscape further down the page. Click on the image for the original description and full pdf I’m delighted that the framework is still seen as relevant and useful over 3 years after it was created in May 2007. Certainly the original post continues to get plenty of traffic, not least because an image from the framework still appears on the front ...

8 Guiding Principles for Pilot Programs: A Key for Enterprise 2.0 Enterprise 2.0, Web 2.0, blog | Comments Off
In my Implementing Enterprise 2.0 report I put Iterate and Refine at the center of the Enterprise 2.0 Implementation Framework. One of the most critical elements of this principle is the ability to establish and run effective pilot programs. Below is an excerpt from Chapter 17 of Implementing Enterprise 2.0 on Pilots, which describes 8 guiding principles for pilot programs. GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR PILOTS While there are no hard and fast rules for establishing successful pilots, eight guiding principles that should be kept in mind are: “It is reasonably cheap and easy to get a pilot up and running to evaluate how successful ...

Predictions for enterprise social software and social network analysis Enterprise, Enterprise 2.0, Social Media, Technology trends, Web 2.0, blog, gartner, predictions, socialnetworkanalysis, socialsoftware | Comments Off
Gartner has released five interesting predictions for social software. Here are the predictions along with a few of my thoughts. By 2014, social networking services will replace e-mail as the primary vehicle for interpersonal communications for 20 percent of business users. This is a transition that we’ve seen for a very long time, and looks finally ready to come to fruition. Coming from a financial markets background, I’d seen from as far back as the late 1990s that email as a primary medium was resulting in communication breakdown. I’ve long believed that shifting communication out of email was one of the main ...

Social Graph Engines (Updated) Enterprise 2.0, Social Networking & Collaboration, blog, social_media | Comments Off
Back in June, I posted some information on social graph engines triggered by my interest in Google Pregel. I still expect this area of social analytics to be a key capability organizations will need to focus on as they deal with large-scale processing of social graph data.I came across the info below (related to an Apache project) and thought I would pass it along: Apache HAMA: An Introduction to Bulk Synchronization Parallel on Hadoop Apache HAMA: An Introduction toBulk Synchronization Parallel on Hadoop View more documents from Edward J. Yoon. Welcome to Hama project Hama (means a hippopotamus in Korean) is a distributed scientific ...

Year-End Thoughts On Enterprise 2.0 Social Software (Part 3) Enterprise 2.0, blog, social software | Comments Off
Previous posts: Year-End Thoughts On Enterprise 2.0 & Social Software (Part 2) Year-End Thoughts On Enterprise 2.0 & Social Software There are a few vendor events that stood out in my mind for 2009 (related to Enterprise 2.0 and social software) - in no particular order: Cisco Stumbles Early But Regains Composure & Sets The Stage Back in July, I published a post Cisco: Great Expectations But "Where's The (Collaboration) Beef"? that took Cisco to task regarding how strongly it was "talking about" collaboration but was not really "doing" much about collaboration. However, by the end of the year, things become much more clear as ...

Year-End Thoughts On Enterprise 2.0 Social Software (Part 2) Enterprise 2.0, Social Networking & Collaboration, blog, social software | Comments Off
In my last post, Year-End Thoughts On Enterprise 2.0 & Social Software, I wanted to provide a background context on some of the areas where Enterprise 2.0 remains ambiguous: Enterprise 2.0 is not a market. Enterprise 2.0 is perhaps best thought of as a collection of principals, organizational practices, and adoption methods that enables emergent participation and contributions models. Enterprise 2.0 is not a project. By this, I mean that organizations should not undertake Enterprise 2.0 initiatives for the sake of "doing Enterprise 2.0. This was the fundamental mistake that doomed many KM projects in the late nineties. There needs to be ...

OpenSocial In The Enterprise Enterprise 2.0, Social Networking & Collaboration, Widgets, blog, social_media | Comments Off
During the Enterprise 2.0 event in Boston last year, I moderated a discussion between IBM and Oracle on the topic of portals and its relation to Enterprise 2.0. Somewhere during the discussion, I wondered aloud how OpenSocial should be compared/contrasted and put into perspective within the enterprise as the most viable widget/gadget effort around. I'm happy to see a session on the topic for the San Francisco event on Wednesday morning hosted by Chris Schalk, Developer Advocate at Google. Panelists include: Adina Levin, Vice President of Products & Co-founder, Socialtext, Benjamin Mestrallet, CEO, Exo Platform, David Johnson, Web 2.0 Senior ...

Community management: The ‘essential’ capability of successful Enterprise 2.0 efforts Collaboration, Community Management, Customer Community, Enterprise 2.0, Enterprise Web 2.0, Grassroots Community, Social Media, Web 2.0, blog, community, social computing, social software | Comments Off
It's not a skill that's been widely understood until quite recently, however community management has begun to move to the forefront of discussions about enterprise social computing as the use of social tools begins to climb the maturity curve. Now it's increasingly proving not just useful but a critical component of Enterprise 2.0 efforts despite an often vague understanding of what it is and where it should be situated in the org chart.
